Ben 10 - Perfect Day

I recently got myself Seasons 3 and 4 of Ben 10 (as well as Season 2 of Thank God You're Here), completing my Ben 10 collection.

The image for this episode on the episode selection caught my eye, so I was keen on watching it, and I liked it. It's just a shame that the good things only happened in his dream.

But, I think, regardless of what anyone says, that this is one of the funniest images of the whole series I've ever seen (from the same episode): http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q...PerfectDay.jpg
I just LOVE that goofy smile!

Mythbusters (again). :bloobleh:

A rerun of Night Court from the shows last season, even though the last season of the show wasn't as good as the shows glory years (seasons 4-6) it's still better then like 85 percent of most shows on the air today.

Stella Street: Series 2

Again, the whole thing. In many ways this collection of escapades with the likes of Michael Caine, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, Jimmy Hill et al was even more slick and enjoyable than the first - the Beatles even showed up a couple of times this series, albeit only in dream sequences. Kind of silly, but a lot of fun and enormously underrated.

Another dosage of Stella Street, Series 3 on this occasion.

Given that Series 2 represented such a neat refinement of the original concept, this one...was more of a mixed bag, to be honest.


THE GOOD:

This is noticeably more plot-driven than the previous two series, with a fairly intricate narrative that extends throughout the entirety of the series. Well, it’s certainly a nice idea in theory – it’s different, and offers the various big name celebrity characters (and Jimmy Hill) a chance to do something other than totter around Stella Street struggling to live out their mundane lives.

There are some pretty nice bits of continuity with Season 2 throughout.

Sting is in it (albeit briefly).

Ditto Anthony Hopkins.

Ditto Alec Guinness.

Ditto Alan Rickman.

David Bowie is given slightly more to do this series.

Overall, it still held my interest and provided me with enough amusement to make it worth the full watch.



THE BAD:


Unfortunately, the notion of big name celebrities (and Jimmy Hill) tottering around Stella Street struggling to live out their mundane lives was by and large the founding appeal of the previous two series, and the more distinctive narrative arc does come at the expense of the laughs somewhat. Here, it’s the story that drives the characters, as opposed to the exclusively character-driven action of series past. Eh, I can see why they felt the need to shake things up a bit more, if only in the interests of variation, but the new approach just doesn’t work as well. Maybe if it had been funnier...

John Hurt isn't in it any more, having abandoned the street at the end of Series 2. Too bad, since he was my favourite character.

"Sting" doesn't sound a bit like Sting – I don’t really know what was going on with the vocal impersonation there.

Len the gardener has evidentially worn out his welcome. Or at least, they seem to have run out of particularly funny and functional things for him to do. Here, he just freaks out and has psychotic episodes with little point or context.

Oddly, given that narrative is given greater emphasis this time around, a pretty interesting plot strand is curiously abandoned quite early on.


THE UGLY:

Marlon Brando. Nuff said.

My last shows I watched? I just got done watching an episode of Flapjack. (A very cute show.) But before that, I watched Superjail. (Both of these are my new addictions, that can be added to my growing list.)

"Twooo Pieces of Candaaaaaay!"

Foster's on DVD, specifically The Big Lablooski. No Frankie in this episode but it's enjoyable nonetheless. Bowling Paul is a trip. ;D

The Washington-Atlanta baseball game yesterday. Braves swept the Nats.

Phineas and Ferb - Put That Putter Away on YouTube

OMG, that was hilarious! It's just so fast and fun, and the music is awesome.

But, damn! Stacy as the Disco Miniature Golfing Queen! That's a highlight in itself! Not to mention the funny line said by the Scottish golfer:

'The Scotsman in me tells me to hold on stubbornly to the bitter end, but then again I'm half Irish.' 8D 8D 8D 8D
