Watched Bender's Big Score last night.
Awesome. Laughed my butt off, especially at the 22-minute episode of Everyone Loves Hypnotoad.

Hypnotoad stole the show.Cail wrote:Watched Bender's Big Score last night.

As for the movie itself: I thought the first few minutes were classic, but the rest focused way too much on drama (Leela's love story) and the time-travel plot. The story wasn't a vehicle for comedy but an action-drama piece that had a few jokes every now and then.
Spoiler
Many jokes were forced or absurd: the appearance of Robot Santa seemed nothing but fan service; Hermes losing his head turned him into a one-joke character; brainwashed Bender was unfunny, and the show's done brainwashing before).
Just got the OOP 2-disc special edition of Die Hard With a Vengeance.
Score!
Score!

Just got Season 7 of Magnum P.I. Across the board excellent, and it's got the episode that I fell madly in love with Dana Delany.

Daywatch in on US DVD now, if any fans of Nightwatch haven't seen it yet.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I just watched Day Watch (the Director's Cut, if that makes any difference--it seems to be the only version they've released here). It's... interesting. Once again, very big budget, greatspecial effects. I think it'll take a second viewing to appreciate, though (and I reallly ought to have rewatched Night Watch first, so I could remember the details).
