In preparation for seeing Sleep No More again, F and I watched Macbeth. The Patrick Stewart version, because Patrick Stewart is awesome. He's a little old for the character but did a terrific job with it; Lady M was creeptastic, as were the sets. It's incredibly bloody and really good. It's also a good SNM prep because it's set in roughly the 1940s.

We also watched Hitchcock's Rebecca, because SNM includes a few of the Rebecca characters (haven't yet figured out why). I thought it was great, although the ending fell a little flat (but I can't imagine what else they could have done with that book's ending).

Watched another few episodes of the Doctor (I loved Genny) and another episode or two of ST:TNG. Ferengi are HILARIOUS early on.

We've been lent the box set of My So-Called Life, which I've never really seen, and told emphatically that I must watch it. Although apparently it is available on Netflix streaming, so we can give the DVDs back.

I still want to get back to The Wire but with everything else, not sure when that will happen.

The Abed birthday episode of Community was pretty great, although I've never seen the movie it was based on.

My So-Called Life is an excellent show, my rewatch though made it seem less awesome since more current shows have adopted some of the things they did way-back-when.

Jamie and I are currently rewatching My So-Called Life. We have two episodes left, and I'm pretty sad about that. So I guess that says something.

That does say something. Have you watched Better Off Ted yet? I think you'd really like it.
