I see the bright lights tonight

[lnr]

Lately I've been watching the first season of Buffy, borrowed from Rachel. 6 episodes in now. Xander as an evil hyena was quite cute really. Also this week watched TDAT on Thursday, which did indeed have extended scenes of both peril and persil. Very very silly really, but some spectacular effects. Can't quite get over the fact that Sam is played by Greg from CSI. Oddly enough saw last night's CSI today, but it was CSI Miami instead, so didn't have Greg in. I gather they're swapping slots though, for some unspecified reason. And last mentioned but neither least nor in fact last chronologically we went to see Shrek 2 this afternoon and shrieked with laughter loud enough to ignore most of the small child noises from the rest of the cinema. It was really really fun, with some wonderful images and a zillion daft references. And more unusual covers than you can shake a stick at. Very tempted to get the soundtrack at some point. As for whether it's suitable for tinies, not sure. There were some fairly small kids around who seemed to be enjoying it. I dunno how much they'd be able to follow the story.

Er, Sam the climatologist's son in TDAT played by the same person as Greg the lab monkey in CSI? I don't think so. We have the Shrek 2 sondtrack on the house jukebox. It's quite odd in places.

You're right, it's not, they're just cvery similar in lots of ways. My mistake.

Both have big goofy grins ;P

[lnr]

That might be it. Lot of it going around.

[sphyg.livejournal.com]

Is there some gossip I've missed? ;P

[lnr]

Maybe a little bit.

To add to the confusion, I believe that a CSI:New York is on its way.

yus, we saw a CSI recently where they were setting the scene with them going to NY and meeting the CSIs there.

I'm waiting for CSI:Penzance myself :)

going to NY

I really liked the visuals of NY in that - CSI has always been good at cities and this was no exception.

It's a shame their computers are so annoying.

Re: going to NY

[ewx.livejournal.com]

Yes. I've got used to that from almost all other portrayal of computers in fiction, though...

It's a shame they don't try for realism. I keep thinking "If I were there, the beeps would drive me mad".

*blink* *blink* you mean computers aren't really like that...

*sniffle* I might cry...

The "arty" lighting effects were rather more obvious in the Miami/NY crossover than usual -- they're rather on the borderline between cool and tacky. (What I'm talking about here is how Miami locations are shot in a orange light/with light orange filter, and the NY ones were similarly coloured blue/grey, or just decoloured. Then you get the weird effect when Horatio walks into the NY crime scene, and he is given Miami colouring....)

It was rather good wasn't it.

I thought I recognised the lead CSI from New York from somewhere but couldn't work out where. I might ahve been wrong anyway mind :-)
