BSG, SGA, JakeyG, and Clooney

I do miss BSG on Friday’s nights. It’s difficult to believe we’ll have to wait until October for the new season. SGA will start again in July. Like most of the shows I started watching in 2005, I have lost interest. SGA has this tendency of building up expectations and then kicking you in the pants with bland episode endings. I wish BSG would switch places with SGA in terms of new season startup.

New show on Scifi – Dr. Who. Looks interesting.

I’m off onto another project, how to take film files from HD and convert to DVD for playing in stand alone DVD player. I tested one conversion. The film becomes choppy in spots. Back to the drawing board I go.

It would be nice to figure out these things. I could then have all the SPN eps in one place and I won’t have to be glued to my monitor.

What would life be like without my usual pic spam.

You know, I’ve not been much of a George Clooney fan. I think his acting talent is mediocre. George, though, has aged extremely well.

Why does Jake have this expression on his face when talking to George, as though he could strip him bare with those puppy dog eyes. Hum… vibes much. :-)

We Got Fooled. Eh!

Woke up this morning expecting this terrible ice storm. Yeah right! LOL! Here I was looking forward to another day off from work. No luck. Gotta to love the folks who predicts the weather.

I’ve been writing this BBM fic forever and have edited it about one hundred times. Oh heck. I’m going to release it after one more edit run through and call it a day.

Esteven, I owe you an email, my dear. Will get to it soon!

BAFTA

BBM wins four BAFTA Awards. Congratulations.

I’m ecstatic for Jake G for winning the Best Supporting Actor award. He wasn’t getting the recognition and accolade he well deserve for his awesome performance as Jack in BBM. Let’s hope Heath will win the Oscar next month, and Jake will repeat his win in the US version of the Award show.

I need to say this: Brokeback Mountain belongs to Annie Proulx, the author. The screen adaptation (note: not original) belongs to Larry McMurty and Diana Ossana and they rightfully earned the BAFTA. Larry would be the first to say he wished he had written the story. Larry and Diana made Annie words come alive on the screen. If you know the story, you’ll know the movie.

Some people seemed to think minor changes made by others warrant praise. Even adorable Jake had to back pedal in his acceptance speech when he almost forgot to thank Annie.

For me, my admiration is for Annie as the originator of the source material and for her wonderful prose for which we talked about in the forums before the film aired. Also to Larry and Diana for their faithfulness in interpretation and to the wonderful expanded scenes they created, which allowed the short story to become a full flown film.
