Me too - great show alright - also watched Thick As Thieves today - wasn't too bad either.

Anyone else see Benjamin Button movie. Saw it last nite. One of those ones like The Green Mile that goes on forever but keeps but I did stay with it. It was fairly intriguing and an interesting concept of this boy getting younger. Not brilliant though... just about passes.

I thought it looked very very boring so decided to give it a miss myself!!

Watched Get Smart on DVD last night. Was a bit worried incase it didn't live up to the original series. I took about 15/20 minutes to get going properly, but I really enjoyed it. Good craic.

Maximus Marillius

I seen Gran Torino last night with Clint acting as well as directing. Was not disappointed at all....thought it was a super movie. Clint is brilliant as a crabit, twisted and racist old man

QuoteI downl Criminal Minds after Pints said he liked it.
It´s well done but they are dead keen to wrap up a crime of the century investigations in 20 or 30 minutes.
That's the way I like it, one of the criticisms I'd have of it though is they nearly always manage to get there in time to save another victim. 

It's a great show though.

I downloaded a couple of episodes of the wire last night so will try it over the weekend.

Watching Bones since I came home, have to say I'm loving it. 
Who knew they used flesh eating beetles to clean the bones of burn victims!!!  I didnt!


Newdevil - this is one I downloaded the wire from and it's playing fine

Download VLC, it's freeware.

The Wire started from scratch (series 1, episode 1) on FX last night, if that's any help.

The Wire is some show, just seen the first two seasons so far. Barely even heard of it til the whole thing was finished in the US, very badly advertised on Irish and UK telly and on crappy channels too. Must try and catch the third season soon, though I've heard the second is the best, still that won't stop me!

Is it on weekly? I was gonna start buying the boxsets. Heard its the best TV ever made.

Monday nights at 11 - it's the best tv I've ever seen, including the Sopranos.
