I flove JGL. I was rewatching 3rd Rock from the Sun a couple of weeks ago. It was as glorious as I remember. And man, he was amazing in Mysterious Skin

Ok so since I got my MM DVDs this morning, I might be less active over here. Because holy crap, this release should teach how to properly release a TV show DVD. Audio commentaries for every episode?!!
And that zippo edition is just gorgeous

**Enigma** · 07-17-2008, 06:06 AM

I loved him in Mysterious Skin too.

Everything I've seen him in, he has just been teriffic.

Yay for your DVDs!

I know. Commentraies for every episode is just how it should be for every show.

ETA: Can I start bitching about the Emmy nominations yet?

But, seriously, Boston legal again. House. uugh.

I gotta go now, but I'll be back later.

Why do people get so personal when talking about OTH, I don't get...even when it's about Dan.

But at least I enjoyed myself and a had a good laugh.

Mysterious Skin is such a good movie. Depressing as hell, but so. good.

Haha! Emmys are a joke like every year. I'm ecstatic for MM and I think it's one of the very few shows that rightfully deserves every praise and nom out there, but overall it's just as unsurprising as always. I'm sorry but I can't get over Monk and Two and a Half Men noms. Again. I just can't. Plus wasn't FNL painfully snubbed this year again? *shakes head*

Maybe they relate or something?

I don't get it. It's OTH. You don't watch it because it's good. You watch it because it's a fail

I'm never much into Emmys but I am excited about NPH.

If we were talking about the Oscars I could rant on and on.

FNL - one show I'm planning to watch but I can't get passed the Pilot but I heard that it gets better, so I'll keep trying.

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-17-2008, 12:45 PM

Hahaha I rant a lot about the Oscars, too! Actually any awards ceremony is a great opportunity to bitch about

Me too, to be honest. It's the sport aspect that I can't get past through. I really really don't like American football

**youvegotwings** · 07-17-2008, 12:49 PM

But FNL has Eric and Tami aka the best married couple on TV

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-17-2008, 12:51 PM

I know! And I really wish I could get past my football dislike to enjoy this show because I know that it's great written and all

**youvegotwings** · 07-17-2008, 12:53 PM

Just skip the football

So I just totally spoiled myself for my new couple

I couldn't wait 7 seasons

Yeah that's true.

But Oscars are my favourites...

I'll try again with FNL soon.

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-17-2008, 12:58 PM

You think I can? I won't miss much if I completely skip practice scenes, games, etc.?

**youvegotwings** · 07-17-2008, 01:00 PM

The football is pretty much the backgroud, it's only a few scenes during an episode; most of the interesting scenes happen at school or at the Taylor (eric and tami)'s home

**~DresdenDoll~** · 07-17-2008, 01:02 PM

Ok I'll give it another go this way then.

Pey_23 · 07-17-2008, 01:12 PM

I will get past the pilot as well.

At times I also found it hard to understand their accent but I guess I get used to it.

**Enigma** · 07-17-2008, 01:13 PM

Do - Did you read the book (Mysterious Skin)? I enjoyed the book and the movie. Definitely depressing though.

I'm super happy about all the Mad Men noms (YES!)!!! And I'm happy for some of the other noms like Damages, Dexter, Michael C. Hall, Lee Pace, etc.

But, yes, FNL was snubbed yet again as was Kyle Chandler (I naively thought he wouldn't be snubbed yet again). And Connie didn't even make the Tope 10 cut.

Plus come on House, Two and a Half Men, Monk, Boston legal, James Spader, etc.

Irritating. And we've already talked about snubs like VK.

Paula and Do - You guys should definitely give FNL a shot. The show is definitely about alot more than football. I think it's one of the most beautifully shot shows on TV as far as the camera work. And Kyle and Connie (Eric and Tami) are just fabulous as are a few of the young cast members.
