TV and movies lately

"I'm sorry. I ate all your bees."

[livejournal.com profile] myrialux and I have been watching Black Books lately. I'd seen a couple of episodes a few years back and Netflix keeps recommending it to me, so I threw it on my queue. I sold [livejournal.com profile] myrialux on it by saying "There's this misanthropic bookstore owner--" and he cut me off, saying "You had me at 'misanthropic.'"

It's a Britcom, and there's a lot of stupid sitcom humor in it, but it tends to veer into surrealism at the slightest provocation*, and it's provided the above quote, which [livejournal.com profile] myrialux and I have taken to quoting to each other at unexpected moments. (It has almost, but not entirely, replaced the previous quote "...too many bees" from the You Suck at Craigslist blog. There's just something about bees.)

We also rocketed through the first season of MI-5 on Netflix streaming video.

And last night we went out with friends to see Despicable Me, which we both thoroughly enjoyed. :)



* I don't really want to explain what leads Manny, the bookstore's clerk, to end up concealed inside a piano playing the strings with spoons.

Shows in which the plot of an episode revolves around a female character masturbating to the shipping forcast are inherently win.
