Fear not, I'm not really asking that question, I'm answering it. I thought it was time for a little intervention, because no offense to Music and Video Games, but that half of the Entertainment World aside, it's been a bit overwhelming as of late as far as TV and Movies have been concerned.

So basically, I'm trying to make sense here of just what the heck is going on right now in the very hectic world of television and film. Let's see if this doesn't cover most of the highlights:

Thanks for that, I hope you didn't have to do all that work yourself blink.gif
Aerdna
Yeah thanks for the update. You sure went through a lot of trouble.

My, you've seen a lot of movies this summer. I haven't been able to get to the theater sad.gif Wow, "A Mighty Heart" was no good huh? I really wanted to see that. It's also good to hear that Big Bang Theory is good, I wanted to check that out.
TelekineticRenegade
Wow this is cool. I might actually watch some TV this year.
YEY DOCTOR WHO!
And yeah, No Reservations was so slow and boring in parts, it was too fluffy, even though there were sad parts. Very cliche dry.gif I didn't even want to see it to begin with...
And is that David Duchovny in the picture with all the apples?
