Kaylee ,'Out Of Gas'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
When I want football or hockey (read: urgency and adrenaline), I watch "Kidnapped" or "Damages".
This one works double because I find both football AND Damages to be far to convoluted to watch!
Cricket - neverending games with esoteric rules and tea breaks, largely ignored by Americans? Sounds like classic Who to me.
(I'm loving this. I am sorry to all of you who hate all sports, though.)
Football is about urgency? I thought it was about the importance of taking frequent breaks.
"All fall down, all get up."
Cricket - neverending games with esoteric rules and tea breaks, largely ignored by Americans? Sounds like classic Who to me.
The Fifth Doctor's costume was a cricket uniform, after all.
I love how in the HHGthG books, cricket was why all alien races avoided contact with humans (the game is considered deeply offensive).
That kind of crossed my mind. Has he ever had a companion from southeast Asia?
What's the South-East Asia connection? If you're on the cricket analogy, that's big in South Asia, not SE. The Eighth Doctor had a companion in the novels, Anji Kapoor, of Indian descent. She was from London though.

Plus, a classic Who adventure stretched over days.
The Fifth Doctor's costume was a cricket uniform, after all.
And in Black Orchid, he actually played cricket. He was the cricketiest of the Doctors.

And Douglas Adams wrote that story up as a Doctor Who adventure (it didn't get produced, obviously).
My goodness, The Losers was full of so much tasty and delicious men. What I found the most hot? The running and jumping. I don't know how much was stunt doubles and wire-work (one scene was obvious), but watching someone move like that and make it look effortless and weightless (in a non-fake way) is just jaw-dropping get-me-a-mop-and-a-bucket. HAWT!
JDM should always wear unbuttoned white dress shirts. IJS.
I wonder if the actor playing Cougar was hired for his physical skills and not so much the acting, because he got sidelined the worst.
I haven't read the comic, so it may be that his character is the silent type.
