OMG, I am not sure I can resist a movie called "Ogre."

Found at the IMDB:

Hewlett-Packard has signed a deal with Sony Pictures to turn out DVDs from the studio's library whenever customers request them, the Los Angeles Times reported today (Thursday). The deal will allow consumers to order movies that ordinarily would not be stocked by dealers because they are too obscure or too old. HP indicated that it expects to sign similar deals with other studios. "We're hoping this provides another option to make available products that wouldn't necessarily garner widespread retail shelf space," Jason Spivak, head of strategic development at Sony Home Entertainment, told the Times.Added Doug Warner, head of HP's digital content business, "If studios can sell more catalog than previously, they can generate more money."

Hope for Farscape fans - for decent season 1 dvds - if this applies to tv as well as movies.

suhweeet!

the show's return in April

Wait. What? I had to skip the latest Sarah Connor Chronicles talk, because I'm behind. Did I miss this news? April now? I'm going to a very whiny place right now. WTF, Sci-fi???

Yes, season 4 is starting April 4th and the 2 half-hour clip shows are running the Friday before that.

I must add to the Ianto love! Between the re-enactment of heads exploding to the subtle offering of an arm to Gwen to the oh so awesome telephone rant and telling Jack that he was "very fearsome" and a billion other adorable things this ep, he is so so very awesome this season so far. As was the whole ep. And then I cried at the end. Made me think of the Doctor as his turn as John Smith and the life and love he had to sacrifice to return to who he originally was. Not who he truly was, but originally. So fucking sad. And this Torchwood ep just reaffirmed how true and valid John Smith's life was, which was probably why the extra tears.

Wow. There are some wildly divergent opinions about Torchwood 2.02 elsewhere. Will need to rewatch as I evidently missed much of Ianto's snark with the irritating compression issues.

Suffice it to say, it pinged some of my buttons, but I need to suss out some of the excellent discussion elucidating some potential transatlantic mistranslation.

I did like Ianto's tie, though. That's not a spoiler, right? That Ianto had a cunning tie?

Ianto's continued rant about how he knew everthing was both somewhat annoying and also endearing. He's a whole new Ianto. /from someone who was emotionally incapable of watching the entirety of season 1.

Because.

It.

Was.

Horrible.

I'm liking how they're fitting the humor into the angst and darkness. DW always had that, so I was surprised to see a lack of it first season. But two eps in season two is rocking my socks with the well-excecuted balance. *knocks on wood* (If the rest of the season sucks, I'm so very very sorry.).

I thought she more than snogged her. Also, I thought the alien did not so much possess the woman as wear her remains as a costume.

I think perhaps you are thinking of Tosh. Tosh had a smokin' hot blonde girlfriend who turned out to be an alien in a person-suit. Gwen, on the other hand, snogged the possessed-by-sex-fiend-alien chick (called Cerys, iirc, who lived with her dad and turned menfolk to dust on the point of orgasm) in Episode 2 of Season 1. Said chick was eventually rescued by Our Heroes, and her alien possessor killed.

edited to spoilerfont, just to be sure that nobody is inadvertently spoiled for series 1
