update

News started popping up about the Metal Hurlant TV show. It's a bit odd, considering that the news are about how it's not going to be finished until 2012, but hey, it's good to at least hear something... Apparently it's already been pre-sold to 20 territories including Poland, so I know I will get my hands on the episode with David Belle at some point :-)

In other news, Hawaii 5-O has finally started being aired in the UK. I like it so far, although I have to say I would have loved the bickering far more if it was the least bit believable. It's just actors saying lines they're not particularly invested in, though. Too bad, I used to think Alex O'Loughlin was a better actor than that (I don't know Scott Caan).

I've even joined a Hawaii 5-O fic community - it's insane, there are, like, 10 stories a day posted! I hardly know what to do with myself ;-)

Admittedly, my prefered pairing is Steve McGarrett/Chin Ho Kelly, and there are maybe five stories about them, so I haven't managed to break my habit of going for the most obscure fandoms/pairings. Still, I don't hate Danny yet, so reading Steve/Danny is acceptable.

I also finally bought Prince of Persia bluray only to discover that all the press articles about the various versions and their respective special features were complete lies - not only does my double play pack have all the bonuses that were supposedly only available on the triple pack, but the additional DVD has the short version of the making of which includes the entire two minutes devoted to David's contribution to the film. So I guess the triple pack is £7 extra just for the digital copy? Bizarre.

Almost as bizarre as Paul being released on a Monday. What's up with that? It's not like it's a rom-com that could use Valentine's Day release date for publicity...

H50 \o/ welcome to the family. care for a newsletter? hawaii5_o_news

I don't know how far along you are with the show but it saddens me that you don't believe them yet. I usually cannot contain my happiness about every single one of their characters to the level where it won't fit into words anymore. so here's to hoping that they'll grow on you, eventually :)


hmm I don't remember if Charlie has Prince of Persia and I certainly never checked which bonuses are available around here... maybe I'll remember to look that up next time I'm at her place. but that is kinda weird. what's on the third disc then??

There were only two episodes of H5O so far. I sure hope Alex and Scott get better further on, because I'm sure I'd love the bickering if I were able to believe them.

The triple play of PoP is bluray, DVD, and digital copy. So since all the special features are included on the double play, then the difference in prices is just for the digital copy. And who actually uses that?
