Yeah I'd be a bit the same, as in I tend to be on the same side as he is on the issues he makes documentaries about, but I suspect that 99% of the people who watch them are as well. Preaching to the choir is no hard job. Still though, I think he's very good at what he does, and he does have some neck (that bit in Charlton Heston's house springs to mind).

What was that one he did on healthcare systems where he was going on about the NHS like it was some kind of Utopian set-up "they give sick people MONEY!", that definitely wasn't even approaching balanced, because I live close to the UK and know people who live there I could spot it as BS, so it kind of makes me wonder what glaring bungles I'm missing when he's talking about US/Canada matters.

Shoot, very off topic there, apologies mods!

Seems on-topic to me, perhaps a clarification as to what counts as "off-topic" in here could be useful (*hint*), since discussing a director and his stuff seems to belong

Yeah I guess, I kind of assumed the thread was just for saying what you'd been watching and if you'd recommend it. Ah I'm not even making sense

What?
So in a film thread on a discussion board, it should be banned to talk about directors? That makes a lot of sense.. It's not like the director of a movie has a big influence on it or anything or have a certain style to their films.

Gossip Girl is back so I'm watching that again. Have seen all of Glee so I can't wait for its return! I watch House every week and Desperate Housewives all in once go. I watch Skins, but only because I saw the last 3 series, this one really isn't much good, it's all "weh look at me I'm a teenager and I'm sooooo troubled weh", only have one more episode to go, apparently it's a crap ending!

I think I'll need a new TV series for the Summer, watched all of Veronica Mars last Summer and Dollhouse over the Christmas holidays.

Yeah I just watched the last episode last night, I thought overall the season was really good, but the ending was pretty disappointing, left too much hanging.

I'm the same, I absolutely loved it Especially Emily, Cook and JJ's episodes. When JJ sang 'True' with the ukulele outside your one's house...<3

I know...I mean does Cook kill him or what? God I have major <3 for Cook,

"I don't think you know what I am. I'm Cook. I'm fookin' COOK."

I'd say the the new characters will comment on it somehow next season...I have a feeling Freddie's little sister will get the lead role.

For TV, I have mostly been watching Shameless (own series 1-6 on DVD, such a brilliant show) and 30 Rock (Tina Fey! <3) Also got first season of True Blood on DVD recently.
I'm thinking of getting Twin Peaks next; never seen it but heard loads of great things about it.

Films I have watched this week include American History X and Sweeney Todd. Both brilliant. Also got Dancer In The Dark on DVD just because I'm a huge Bjork fan and she's meant to be really good in it. Haven't watched it yet though.
