Evil is taking advantage of people’s weaknesses.

Like this and this. It’s like they KNOW they can force people to buy two new copies of a movie that many of them already own, and they’re milking it for all it’s worth.

Of course, people like me subsidize entertainment for pirates, so I hope you people appreciate it!

I had just gotten done telling a friend of mine on Sunday that the “Daily Beauty” and “Quote of the Day” entries were keeping me a lot more consistent with my posting. They not only provide a guarantee that I have at least two posts every day, since I had a nice backlog ready and was doing pretty well with keeping it there, they also drove me to post daily, because I didn’t want those two things to be the only new things found here each day.

On Monday, I got sick, and didn’t feel like doing much of anything Tuesday or Wednesday, except for lying around watching television. By the time I was feeling better, I was very involved in the first season of Battlestar: Galactica, which arrived via Netflix earlier this week.

Now, in addition to having burned through my entire stockpile (which wasn’t as good as I thought, apparently) of Quotes and Beauties, I find myself without anything to write about for the evening (and with nothing written the past couple of evenings), except for the fact that the first season finale was a horrible way to end a season. Not that the episode was bad, mind you… it’s just completely evil to make people want the next episode that badly if you’re not prepared to give it up for a while.

I know I’m behind on this. Most fans who were with this show from the beginning (beginning of the remake, anyway) are hungrily awaiting… what, the third season now? At least I’ve only got five days before Season Two is out on DVD. I don’t see how you other people could take it.

Things like this are part of the reason I hate my DVD obsession. I just bought Sin City on DVD, and now they’re already making plans to make me buy it again at twice the price.

If I had more self control, I’d simply not buy it (90% of the time, I don’t watch the special features anyway), but unfortunately, I don’t.

I picked up the complete series of Wonderfalls on Saturday, and quickly finished it off this weekend.

Wonderfalls stars Caroline Dhavernas as Jaye Tyler, a young woman who is plagued by inanimate objects that tell her what to do. Hearing the shows premise, I was intrigued, but not entirely sold. I mean, only four episodes of the show ever aired on television. There had to be a reason it was cancelled, right?

Still, the show has a connection to Firefly (another show unjustly cancelled by Fox) and Angel in its executive producer, Tim Minear, and the box set had nine unaired episodes on it (The words “Unaired Episodes” are a very big draw for me on DVD box sets), so I figured I’d give it a shot.

I’m very glad I did. The show is wonderfully quirky, and the thirteen episodes tell a pretty solid story, even if there are a few loose ends that I wish had been covered. All in all, this box set is worth every penny (but, to be fair, I would have said that if only for the four episodes that Jewel Staite is in…).

I’m sorry that the show didn’t get better ratings when it was on the air, but I’d rather have these thirteen episodes with a complete story than have had it run a little longer and be less self-contained.
