Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Trust me, David Tennant is waaaay sexier than Christopher Eccleston. He played Casanova, fer chrissakes!
Edit: the BBC Doctor Who site has some more pictures and an interview on its "News" page. Plus, Stephen Fry is writing an episode of the new series!:
Bwah-ha-ha!!! It appears I have the board all to myself!!! So I will take this opportunity to describe the difference between me and my sister:
I mentioned to her that I'm going to a concert next week.
My sister: "Who are you going to see? Buddy and I just saw Billy Ray Cyrus in Albuquerque! It was great, but we were the oldest people there by 20 years, and Buddy wouldn't dance."
Me: "We're going to see the Lord of the Rings symphony in a 2000-year-old theater on the Acropolis. With 1000 All-State Insurance star performers. Who I hope won't dance."
It's a toss-up as to which of us has the sillier life.
If people don't stop referring to Mr. Rogers in this sort of conversation, even in a "no, never him" peripheral sort of way, I'm going to post links to pictures of Pertwee in the shower. I have the url, and I am NOT afraid to use it. Ya hear?
Now I have a bill. The name on the bill? Beatrice Arthur.
I don't know whether to be offended at the accusation of being a golden girl or just mildly annoyed, because I actually have to spend a minute of my day cancelling the subscription.
HA! That's hysterical, I mean, for those who don't have to spend that minute canceling the subscription.
And don't think of her as a Golden Girl. Think of her as Maude.
Lady Godiva was a freedom rider. / She didn't care if the whole world looked. / Joan of Arc with the Lord to guide her / She was a sister who really cooked...
Hi, Raq. Sorry to break in on your private interlude.
If people don't stop referring to Mr. Rogers in this sort of conversation, even in a "no, never him" peripheral sort of way, I'm going to post links to pictures of Pertwee in the shower.
Which Pertwee, Jon? Is this the shower scene from Spearhead from Space?
Which Pertwee, Jon?Yes, the very same, and the third Doctor, I think (haven't/didn't/don't watch).
Is this the shower scene from Spearhead from Space?Probably.
Probably.
The main thing I remember about that scene is thinking "Hey! Doc has a tat!"
Here's the page where it's housed. Scroll down. [link]
timelies- I watched Hell's Kitchen last night. I did not have my mind freaked in any way. I wanted to watch Anthony Bourdain's EXTREME travel/cuisine show on Travel Channel afterward, but we were pretty wiped out.
That's all I got. I like TV.
I watched bits and pieces of the Bourdain show yesterday--not as good as the French ep last week, but it was interesting to see him get stranded in an Icelandic blizzard when he ventured out for a picnic (in mid-January!). He found a cave to shelter in with his cameraman, and had his booze with him, so he was relatively happy until the calvary came (with his picnic, which he ate at a "snow hut"). At a low-key buffet meal for some convention, he had fermented shark meat, which he later found out was so disgusting tasting because it basically fermented in its own urine (ew!) . (Whitefonted for the squeamish.) From what I saw, the food he enjoyed the most was the hotdog stand he visited during the all-night barcrawl that the locals participate in on Saturday nights.
I was sad to miss the France episode, but we were on vacation.
