[Albertosaurus Rex]

I think the Disney versions of fairy tales are often unfairly maligned. If you compare the original fairytale of Snow White to the Disney movie, you will see that it's actually very close, and some original content is a little creepy to begin with, like the prince impregnating Snow White while she's in a coma??? Many adaptations differ wildly from the original book anyway, it's just that Disney's marketing and merchandising machine is so powerful that it tends to push all awareness of the original story away. As Robin Hobb pointed out on her old site, Bambi was a novel first.

Back to series. Yes, it's a delight sharing things that I love with my father and brother. I hope to one day introduce him to the Battlestar Galactica remake. I think he'll love it, but he's a little too young for it now. Only a few more years, though.

Still watching Fringe. My reaction is mostly to same as the one I had to Alias: it's competently made, but it just doesn't excite me all that much. Ironically, they're both by J. J. Abrams. And in both cases, my dad likes it much more than I do, so I keep watching anyway. I've just ordered the first season boxset of Farscape from Amazon; there doesn't seem to be a Dutch release, not one that's still available anyway. I've been wanting to watch this series for ages now. I can't wait for my DVDs to arrive...
