    Deep Impact is on BBC2 today, 18:10. It's the "other" meteor impact movie from 1998, the one with quite a bit more scientific rigour, though it's not perfect on that score.

    I prefer it because it delves more deeply in to the social and ethical effects, on people, of imminent Armageddon. If the world's really coming to an end, just what do you do with yourself? Pinning all your hopes on a suicide mission is not the only option. It might also have something to do with the fact that I'll watch Téa Leoni in just about anything. :o

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut

    Drive is on BBC 3 tonight at 9:30 if anyone fancies a masterclass in intense staring from Carey Mulligan and Ryan Gosling :)

    The brilliant Norwegian film Headhunters is on BBC 2 at 11pm. Dark comedy thriller well worth the effort of reading the subtitles.

    There Will Be Blood is on BBC 2/BBC 2 HD tomorrow night. Curiously, Sky have it labelled in white, meaning it's not HD. Hopefully that's a mistake, which does happen occasionally. I have it on Bluray but you can't beat a watching a film on TV, or maybe that's just the 80's talking.

    Sky epg often mess up the info, although they usually pass the buck to someone else,as it's someone else providing the info on it :confused:
