barely fatal

Mr. & Mrs. Smith, also known as “the DVD you better don’t watch on your Windows PC”, starts out interesting, stylish and clever. Then it gets worse and worse, and eventually it turns into a shoot ‘em up video game – minus the interactivity. It’s a waste.

Fortunately, Season 2 of Battlestar Galactica lives up to its promise: I enjoyed every single show. Of course it ended with a cliff hanger, and of course I have to get the third season in September. The problem is, because it has not yet been aired in Germany you can’t buy it. They’ll show it on pay-TV in November and maybe, maybe then it will be released on DVD. So I’ll have to get the imported UK version. Not so bad, I watch the original language version anyway, but it’s gonna be quite expensive. Bleh!

Actually I wanted to upgrade my PC – well, replace it with a new one – but now I have decided to wait a little while longer. Intel announced the new 45nm Penryn core CPUs and Nvidia’s next generation of GPUs is expected to be released in November. Also in November all the fancy new games will be released: Crysis, Assassin’s Creed, Call Of Duty 4 … and more. It’s too bad that I can’t play Bioshock before, but I can live with that. So November it is.

Next month the new KT Tunstall album comes out. Have you heard of her? Check her out, it’s really worth it.
