And your conclusion about the plot of 12 Monkeys please?
Thirith - I heard about Generation Kill but the subject matter puts me off. I've heard its nowhere near as good as The Wire too.
Yum.
Wasn't she in Home and Away or something?

It made sense actually; Bruce Willis giving the idea to Brad Pitt (who I did not expect to be so awesome) but I kinda saw the creepy dude in the lab being the one behind the whole virus rather than the Army Of The 12 Monkeys - they played up Pitt's character as being insane, so to kill 5bn people wouldnt have been very "realistic".
I liked how it all came together at the end and actually laughed at the "I'm In Insurance" line at the end on the airplane - which got me thinking; did that scientist know about the whole thing and make a killing on insurance claims?
Oh, and Generation Kill
is different from The Wire - but it's very very good television and even has Ziggy in it who proves he can be an annoying twerp in
twotwo tv shows.

Smiley when you post that, friend.
Why? My post was serious. You have poor taste in television.

USA had a House marathon and I caught the last 3 hours of it.
I am now planning to get the show on DVD.
Though the show really does make me miss Shark. CBS not putting Season 2 on DVD is a god damned crime.

I'm really enjoying South Pacific on the BBC at the moment but I'm finding the geography, history and people/culture aspects more enjoyable than the wildlife bits. They are also being sneaky and using the odd clips from Blue Planet and Planet Earth.
There are some spectacular never-seen-before HD wave formation and surfing shots in episode 1 that you will never ever tire of watching.

Because without it you come off like the worst kind of elitist?

Is that the one that's kinda the same as Psych and The Mentalist, or Life?

I wonder how anyone paying attention could come to a different conclusion. The Army of the 12 Monkeys is simply a red herring, at least in terms of "Who killed mankind?" Thematically, it's more than that, but coming away from the film thinking that Brad Pitt's character had anything to do with the virus strikes me as a tremendously sloppy reading of the film.

Tis why I asked. People come up with all sorts for this film. It's not quite as bad as the "Why were they always running for phones in the Matrix?" camp, or the "Bruce Willis committed suicide at the end of The 6th Sense!" camp but nonetheless its... surprising. The film isn't Primer, after all.
