Pretty much this, via Hulu. I love White Collar!
I've really been meaning to get into White Collar too, it seems pretty cool. I just haven't gotten a chance to, and I'm wondering if it's still worth trying.

Also I haven't watched In Plain Site yet. I don't think I want to start either.

Whatever you do, don't watch Covert Affairs. It sucks.

Huh. Did you know that you can only embed three quotes within each other? I didn't.

Anyway.

Funnily enough, I know a few people who say that Covert affairs is surprisingly good. That is, it isn't just the stupid-newbie-gets-thrust-into-the-field type thing. There are elements of that, sure, but, from what I've heard, it pulls it off nicely. So hmm.

Am I the only one who thinks that Rubicon is mildly interesting? It's apparently a month old but I have only just recently heard about it, and are going to start to get into it.

Unless some of you say otherwise or something.

EDIT: Got Alan Wake a couple days ago. Arguably one of the best games I have ever played. The gameplay is nice and smooth, the atmosphere is fantastic, the writing is phenomenal, and the voice acting is some of the best I've ever heard in a game. The concept is very original for a video game, and, even if treated as a movie, there are a couple of twists and turns that you wouldn't expect coming. I've just started Episode Two, and I've been on the edge of my seat the entire time.


I highly HIGHLY recommend this game to ANYONE who likes TPS or horror games.

If you ever get the chance to see it it's quite funny. I suppose it varies depending on the talent of the actors, but the one I saw was very well done.

I don't really like musicals in general so I'm not an ideal audience. Except for Sondheim musicals. Those things are alright.

I think it's kinda sad to write a type of entertainment off like that. If I said that about ... music, or movies, you guys would rightfully call me an idiot.

I dunno what I'm trying to prove with this post, though. I can understand not liking musicals, I guess.

Eh.

He said he liked Sondheim musicals. So he obviously has given the genre a chance, and found that he didn't like the majority of them. I wouldn't call that writing off a type of entertainment.

No, they're both right. I slipped up. What I should say is that I don't like how corny and kitschy a lot of popular musicals are. Opinion: amended.

I find musicals too intrinsically funny for them to be moving or sad. I like comedic musicals, but I can't understand how a tragedy could be made into a musical. I'd love to be proven wrong.
As soon as we wish to be happier, we are no longer happy.
