i mean you can bootleg your own now but it just isn't the same!

[krissy]

this requires a preamble

when i was 13 and very sick i couldn't sleep in the morning of one sunday. i got up at 5, made myself tea, and turned my eye to the sci-fi channel SPACE. it was my fave channel, but i was still scared of a lot of the stuff there. over the last while on SPACE, while watching Sliders ( Sliders extended intro.wmv - YouTube (http://youtu.be/u1G1pts7nMg) ) or whatever, i remember seeing advertisements for a mini series Gormenghast, and i thought it looked cool but kind of scary

of course, what was on TV but the very mini series? i managed to watch half an hour of it, not knowing wtf was going on. but it left an impression on my young mind, it sure did.

anyway, it's gothically wonderful, and i rediscovered it last week as the word flashed thanks to my weird-ass selective memories. i looked it up on youtube and found the entire series uploaded, with a few scenes cut to fit within the 10 minute mark. nothing terribly important is missing, and i watched the entire thing in a day. some of the finest acting i've seen in a long time.

now im sharing it with you

Gormenghast part 1 - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2UTPombvgc)

edit: really i could write a bunch of posts about the stuff playing on SPACE ten years ago

I wanted to respond to this with "You just made my cool list," but you were already on it

[Ouch!]

Threads like these generally serve to remind me how living in Norway and Indonesia throughout the early nineties has left me with absolutely no appreciation for almost all of the things that people my age get nostalgic about.
