    Burn TVNZ to the ground.

    It's public property after all and we can do what we like with it.

    There was some charter telly on last night.

    It was outstanding.

    "Gods and Generals".

    It was part 1 of a Trilogy on the American Civil War and "Gods and Generals" was shot from General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's perspective.

    It was scheduled so as to finish at 4am, Sunday morning (inclusive of DST change). Good thing I was working last night thanks to DST, and the NZ Govts limited understanding of technology combined with its desire to do anything for a vote.

    It was beautifully scripted and a joy to watch. Robert Duvall plays Robert E. Lee and manages to make himself look like him. Stephen Lang plays Stonewall Jackson and by golly that's a good beard.

    Glorious, involving television exploring history without Saving Private Ryan's hyperbole.

    I'm sick of Government Depts treating me and my fellow Kiwis like uncouth reality show addicts, with the IQ of a pinch of Gran's Remedy.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Have fun with your reality shows you microcephalic consumer.

    There was talk of cancelling daytime soaps on tv one. They should go even further and cancel any reality type show during the day, only doucmentaries and educational programming.

    That'd get a lot of fat lazy dole bludging sloths off the couch and might even make dbp professionals reach for the durex before the next round.

    I just built a MythTV box for about $400. That includes the fancy graphics card so I can decode 1080i.

    Anyway, it's nice not having to worry about the TV schedule. Watch things when you want to watch them.

    I watched G&G last night. It was a fantastic film.

    Apparently the original director's cut was almost seven hours long. So they had to edit is pretty severely for the cinematic release.
    The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.
