Somewhere between 0 and 10 with 0 being Superman the Musical as performed by Adam Sandler and 10 being A Man for All Seasons remake with added ninjas, zombies and gratuitous nudity by a young Kate Beckinsale.

I'm watching some Farscape. It's srs muppets in space (still).

Always found it surprisingly engaging.

@manker: I watched The Duelists last night. I can't fault anything in the movie, or story itself, and I enjoyed it. However, I wasn't left loving it. I'd rate it a 7.5 for all its merits, but its pointlessness throughout is its weakness. For all that (watching, and the life of the protagonist), there should have been more of a lesson.

I thought the pointlessness was the point, and therein lies the lesson.

I'm happy I explained that well enough. Typing it was a bit awkward.

I just felt that was a bit flat compared to all the rest of the work that went into the film. Scenes, costumes, lighting, camera work, sets- all amazing. For pointlessness?!!!

If there was a good reason for Feraud's decades long feud with D'Hubert they would have called the movie Medieval Star Wars.

Or Napoleonic.

New season starts Sunday.Sort of lost interest in it as none of the characters are especially endearing and the show itself just seems to be spinning it's wheels by it's Summer and there's not a lot else on worth watching.

Continuum isn't terrible if a little too much cops and robbers and a little too little Sci-fi stuff.
