I've recently acquired this set (first season--don't know if there'll be another) on a friend's recommendation. I liked the book quite a bit (I'm a big Le Carré fan) and I look forward to having time to go through it (been a crazy busy semester so far). Anyone watched this? Thoughts? (try to avoid spoilers)

Finished the series. Outstanding. Hiddleston would make an excellent Bond after Craig, if he so desires.Comment

In another post about Lord Of The Rings I mentioned how the images in the film matched the mental pictures I had formed many years earlier while reading the trilogy, and The Hobbit for the first time. This added greatly to my enjoyment of the movie as it gave me a feeling of immersion in this story... -
Sorry if this gets David or anyone else going. I just think it's a worthwhile discussion!
As posted in the upcoming releases thread, Starship Troopers is about to be released in Superbit edition. I love this movie and will most likely buy this one too. The problem is, this is the third... -

Yesterday I took our daughter Chelsea to Movie Gallery to rent her a PSII game for these few days she is out of school. When I walked in I noticed they had several racks of previously viewed DVD's for sale. The display read "BUY 2 GET 1 FREE" and most were marked at $9.99 each. The manager... -
