A Rant And TV
Jan. 21st, 2012 06:55 pmRant first: Dear various estate agents but one in particular. I'm not a mind reader, if you're thinking of a property for me but don't tell me about it, I will not know about it.

The TV has been remarkably good recently.
Channel 4 had one of their 15 minute 'Coming Up' shorts called 'Hooked', which probably had too much material for its run time, but what it was was golden. 4 on Demand link is here - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/coming-up/episode-guide/series-6/episode-7
( Spoilers )
ITV3 is reshowing the second Whitechapel, which is always better than I remember it. Mostly because they don't try and sell Rupert Penry-Jones as anything other than a tweedy (if deeply principaled) geek. And they give Phil Davis something to do. If you want me to like your show, giving Phil Davis something to do is a really good way.
( I also like (spoilers) )
Despite the better efforts of the Christmas break, I'm catching up with Covert Affairs.
( Episode 1 x 9 - The One In London (official name 'I can't quit you, baby') )
( Season 1 Finale )
I've seen the advert for 'This Means War' (the Pine vs Hardy for Reece Witherspoon film), I can see why you all hate it. I'm also stuck with the problem that I find neither leading man attractive. However, I will say that Chris Pine seems to suit rom-com more than Kirk. (Yes, I'm being mean, yes, I'm a horrible, stuck-in-the-mud reactionary.)
