Facebook and Annoying Advertising

I've never been a massive Facebook fan but I did use it a convenient way of keeping track of a few friends and what they were up to, well over the last few days I've noticed that the advertising on Facebook has gotten even more obtursive and annoying which means I'll be using it far less than I did.

I'm sure this won't bother most people but if they keep up with the annoying advertising I hope at least a few people stop using Facebook as a result.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

It's been a very lazy not to mention wet and cold day today so I also watched Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker on Blu-ray, I bought this because it's a two disc set that also includes the uncut version, I was disappointed to see the uncut version is on DVD only but the Blu-ray disc looked much better than I expected it to and it's still a great story, I'd love to see a live action version of Batman Beyond one day.

Demons

I couple of weeks ago I managed to pick up Demons on Blu-ray for $5.00, I'd heard the show wasn't very good but I enjoy Philip Glenister's work enough that I wanted to check it out.

Well the show wasn't as bad as I feared it would be ( I wouldn't go so far as to say it was good either ) Philip Glenister's attempt at an American accent was interesting, this is a show that in my had some unrealised potential and now I can say I've seen it, as TV shows go I've seen much worse.

Iron Sky

My Iron Sky Blu-ray arrived today, I'd been looking forward to seeing this movie for a while, I like to support cool sounding independent productions and this movie had a great idea behind it, what an absolute shame that the movie was a mess and nowhere as clever or as funny as it's producers seem to think it is.

Survivors ( remake )

Recently Amazon UK had the boxset containing both series of the Survivors remake going fairly cheap so I thought I'd grab it and over that last three days I've re watched both series of the show.

Overall I did enjoy the watching Survivors again but despite it's obviously higher budget and production value it still seemed to be a somewhat pale imitation of the original series and speaking of the original series it was a little disturbing to see how many story lines and guest characters were taken directly from the original series and the creators of the original series didn't seem to be getting the credit they deserved , in fact the making of documentary doesn't even acknowledge that there was a previous version of the series.

This remake is more of an action adventure show compared to the original series so the characters come across a little flat or superficial but it's still an enjoyable series in it's own right but if you want real drama and character depth I'd recommend watching the original series instead.
