What Some People Will Download…
When I was visiting Guildwood a while back, I took a look at Reid’s list of movies and TV shows that he’s downloaded.
Here’s just a sample.
Now, I would never stoop to such a thing, and I have been rewarded.
Last night, I was transported by the new film “Doctor Who and the Christmas Invasion.” Now I know that all my immoral, unethical friends have already seen it but this was the first time for me.
It was a blast that rocked. I’d been waiting for it for a while and had my snacks and juice boxes all ready.
Yee haaaa!
It ran a little bit shy of its 90 minute time slot, and as a reward, I got to see the Christmas edition of Nick Park and Aardman Studios’ ‘Creature Comforts‘.
Now if you haven’t heard of or seen them, well let me just tell you that they took ‘man on the street’ type interviews and animated them in Aardman’s classic Claymation-type stop-motion style of those shows about the guy and that dog, only with animals as the speakers…
I say I was rewarded because my immoral and unethical friends who watched ‘The Christmas Invasion’ via download back at Hallowe’en probably didn’t watch it last night because of it was commercial television and so missed this little stocking stuffer.
It’s against my nature but I want so hard to feel smug. Really smug. The smuggiest. Smug-arama comin’ atcha down the train tracks! In-your-face smug-and-a-half.
But I won’t, because instead, I feel humble and blessed.
Na-na-na-Na-na-na!

Ah yes, Creature Comforts went by on BitTorrent a while back. There were several “episodes” with themes like “The Circus”, “The Zoo”, etc. Which one did they show? Each one was around 20 minutes long I think.
I don’t agree about the episode. I found it to be weak, writing-wise, with the music being way too heavy while we wait for the Doctor. Ah well.

Aw, yer nuts! About Doctor Who specifically. Weak writing? Every word was carefully though out, every reaction, every rereaction. I couldn’t have been happier if I’d seen it unethically a month ago.
Now about Creature Comforts, I’ve seen a few, because sometimes Coronation Street runs short on CBC on Sunday mornings when it’s four episodes in a row from the previous weeknights minus one. They just keep me laughing.
Which one did I see? Duh, ‘the Christmas edition’…
Can’t wait to see the W&G movie. Have you guys?
