First, Dr. Who spoilery of the visual kind, this picture from "The Christmas Invasion" is definitely worth a look. Is the Doctor wearing jammies or is it just my fevered imagination? In any case....very interesting. Looks like Ten's going to be a bit action hero-y. Cool.

I'm so glad I recorded TDS yesterday as Jon Stewart's smackdown of Bill O'Reilly was so worth it. I may re-watch it a few dozen times. And I've come to the conclusion that the Colbert Report should just release a dvd of all of the "The Word" segments because they are, without doubt, amongst the funniest things ever aired on t.v. I always have to watch them a couple of times to get all the jokes, although last night's "War Against Humbuggery" was pretty damned hilarious.

Pye was in a fiesty mood last night, the culmination of which involved Kage trying to peacefully use the litterbox and him stalking her. As soon as she'd gotten inside and couldn't easily turn around he ran over and smacked her on the ass, then took off before she could retaliate. He then zoomed into the living room and crouched down around the corner waiting for her to come through so he could pounce. Alas she decided to actually use the litterbox instead and Pye got bored of waiting for her and gave up. He may not be able to out fight her fairly, but he's mastered the sneak attack, I respect that.

Sounds like we're doing Narnia on Sunday and I'm trying to think when I'll have time to see Memoirs of a Geisha (Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang? Hell yeah), but I suspect that may have to wait until after Xmas at this rate. Although, hmm, maybe Xmas eve...

Edit: Just found the video clip of Jon on Media Matters so if you missed it you can catch it now. My favorite bit:

STEWART: If Bill O'Reilly needs to have an enemy, needs to feel persecuted, you know what? Here's my Kwanzaa gift to him. Are you ready? All right. I'm your enemy. Make me your enemy. I, Jon Stewart, hate Christmas, Christians, Jews, morality, and I will not rest until every year families gather to spend December 25th together at Osama's homo-abortion-pot-and-commie-jizzporium.

Hmm, when are you leaving? I might be able to go see it the afternoon of the 18th...

[tersa.livejournal.com]

The 21st. I could possibly do it early on the 18th, but I have branwynseye's Solstice Party that evening that I have to attend so I can deliver onto her her 2004/2005 holiday/wedding gift. :)

Define early for me, I ask because I'm getting up at like 4:30 to get Aelf to the airport and then crawling back into bed for a while. If we're talking noon-ish that might just be do-able.

Noon'ish is probably the late end of what I can do. Not sure if you saw Branwyn's invite to this, but her party starts at 4pm.

Also, I just found a couple of other movies out or coming out that I'm interested in seeing that I think you might be as well:

Syriana

Brokeback Mountain

You know Syriana is tempting because of Sid and the fact that it's supposed to be an intriguing mystery very much along the lines of "Traffic", so it's a maybe. And gay cowboys in love I might wait to watch on video, it doesn't seem like something I need to see on the big screen.

Dude, I SO want to see gay cowboys on the big screen. Because Jake is pretty and Heath is pretty and pretty men kissing... large. Mmmmm. :)

[tersa.livejournal.com]

Heath is so, so pretty. (I still want "Roar" to come out on DVD, dammit. Here endeth my continuing rant about that.)

Apparently, you and I need to go see it. :)

[tersa.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, Sid.

Although, reading the review, I think you may just as likely want to throw things at the screen if you watch it. :)
