It's Sunday, I'm at home, so I must have been watching downloaded telly again.

Well, I haven't watched all of it; the first burn of SG-1 went wrong, and the episode stopped with 10 minutes to go. I've done a new burn but haven't had time to watch the last bit yet. I have watched Battlestar Galactica episode 4. Oh, crumbs. Colonel Tigh. What do you think you are doing?

It occurs to me that maybe I watched these in exactly the wrong order. I should have started with the lowest quality programming first, and worked my way up. Never mind; it's still all better than whatever terrestrial telly is putting out on a Sunday.

Having acquired a double DVD set of The Road to Perdition and Miller's Crossing for about £8 give or take a penny, we watched the former during the late afternoon. I rather enjoyed it, I must say. Tom Hanks in a much darker role than usual os quite welcome. Sometime later in the week I guess we'll try Miller's Crossing. These are both films I never made it to see in the cinema for some reason or reasons long lost in the mists of time and futility.

Beyond that, it's been a typically lazy Sunday. I think I'm over the test win now, so I think I'll nip and watch the last ten minutes or so of SG-1 before Top Gear comes on.

Miller's Crossing was great, imo. First time I remember seeing John Turturro, and Gabs Byrne is always eye-candyish to watch. Might not be your cup of eye candy though. ;-)

Ooooooo good films. Perdition was rather good, although Uncle Tom was still a bit too goody goody. Millers, I haven't seen it in quite a long while, but from what I remember, it was very, very good.

Incidentally, whereabouts did you pick up the double set?

Miller's Crossing is one of my favourite films, absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Albert Finney, in particular, is brilliant.

Miller's Crossing is one of my favorite Coen Brothers films. I love the Jon Polito character, I forget his name. Finally, a gangster portrayed as a psychopath!
