Last few weeks have been flat out at work, and it seems that all I’ve had the interest in (outside of the usual sex, sex, and more sex), is watching video and playing games. However, that said, there’s been at least one “achievement”: I finished F.E.A.R. 2<\/strong><\/em> on the xbox 360! Just 2 more games to finish and I can buy another one.<\/p>\n

On another front, I discovered a fascinating show: Fringe<\/em>. Probably a bit behind the times with this one, compared to some others, but it’s definitely got me hooked, in much the same way that Dexter<\/em> entrapped me. It’s a pleasant surprise to see John Noble in a role again. I’m not sure why I don’t come across him in roles, other than Denethor<\/em> (LoTR). He’s really very talented and a joy to watch. He literally radiates the emotive and psychological essence of a role. He absolutely cracked me up with the following couple of lines:<\/p>\n

Walter: “This man’s been shot in the head!”
\nPeter: “Is that a problem?”
\nWalter: “Of course it’s a problem!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve also been trying (and I DO mean trying) to watch Dollhouse<\/em> by Jos Whedon. Normally I’m a big fan of Jos, but I’m struggling with this one. I cursed the executives that instigated the demise of Firefly<\/em>. But I’m not sure I’d be so indignant about this one. I’ve watched 3 episodes so far, and I confess to wishing each episode to end upon reaching halfway through. The more I see her in action, and I<\/strong> like to watch<\/strong><\/em> her in action as she’s quite attractive, the more I am convinced that Eliza Dushku is less than acceptably talented as an actor. She just plays (I suspect anyway) Eliza Dushku! Every character I see her play is Faith<\/em> all over again. So, short of the “eye candy” factor, the interest has got tired quickly, and the overall story is unlikely to have time to grab me: if I get to episode 6, I’ll be surprised. The concept has merit, but it’s lacking the character interaction and “chemistry” of his other creations. Perhaps he needs to move on from his stable of actors for lead roles and seek a new range of ingredients and create a new meal. This one lacks flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
