Hmm, let’s see…

**Casanova  
Jarhead  
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe  
Walkabout  
Memoirs of a Geisha**

Pretty normal batch for me–although recently it’s been heavy on the horror end of the spectrum, so I guess I’m getting fluffier in response.

( **Walkabout** is on there for the SO, who has this unholy lust for Jenny Agutter–the movie is pretty okay but he’s in the mood for a droolfest, bless his pointy little head!)

I have Babylon 5 :season 1; disc 1 and Endgame heading here this week. The next three are :

You may want to watch the pilot episode _The Gathering_ first. There are a few plot points that become important later in the series.

Brokeback Mountain

Da Ali G show s1d2  
Night Watch

Actually **Jayjay** and I did that a couple of weeks ago. He has seen the show before, and I never have. We have some friends that are more than willing to fill me in on what I may have missed. 🙂

As **Jayjay** may have already mentioned, the show doesn’t really pick up 'till season 2, but you have to watch season 1 for background. So unless you really hate it, you should give it a chance even though you may be wondering what all the fuss was about. (I certainly was.)

The West Wing: Season 5: Disc 5   
Carnivale: Season 2: Disc 4  
Carnivale: Season 2: Disc 5  
The West Wing: Season 5: Disc 6  
Carnivale: Season 2: Disc 6

Two awesome shows. I love Carnivale, but I think I’d watch it anyway for the opportunity to just stare at Nick Stahl for a while. Boy, is he pretty in that show.

Hmm…and I wonder why I can’t get a date. 😃

Currently at home, I have:  
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip - NBC Pilot  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 6  
Kingdom Hospital: Disc 2

The next 5 _discs_ on the list are:  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 7  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 8  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 9  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 10  
Farscape: Season 1: Disc 11  
(After that is the rest of Kingdon Hospital–I only even started getting those because after Disc 3 of Farscape, it suddenly skipped the rest until I deleted them and re-added.)

The next 5 actual _movies_ in the queue are:  
Patriot Games (This is, I believe, the only Harrison Ford movie I have yet to watch.)  
The Wedding Date (roommate’s choice)  
The Emperor’s New Groove  
Raising Arizona  
Oliver Twist

This will not, of course, be the order I end up getting them in. Once Farscape and Kingdom Hospital are done, there’s be some comedies and Stargate SG-1 Season 3 bumped to the top of the list.
