TV kingdom

This weekend I spent it enclosed in my beloved new apartment.  Just watching the telly and trying to recover from some mysterious headache.  I'd never had cable before, this is wonderful!  Last night's two highlights:  "House of Flying Daggers" and "Pterodactyl".

I wasn't much interested in watching Pterodactyl, as it didn't look very promising.  I only watched it in wait of the other one.  As expected, Pterodactyl didn't fail to underwhelm.  I hadn't seen a movie with such unimaginative dialogue lines for quite some time.  Then came House of Flying Daggers.  Unfortunately this was dubbed into the local language, and didn't even come with English subtitles.  But even then, this film was so visually glorious, that I watched it almost until falling asleep (it was very late into the night) even though I couldn't understand the dialogues.  Ah, I hope someday I get the chance to enjoy it with the storyline.

By the way, I'm starting to miss my Australian TV.  In my previous apartment, I could watch an Australian satellite channel called "ABC Asia Pacific".  Wow, those guys really have quality programs!  And as a plus, I even learnt to distinguish Australian from British accent!
