What I'm Watching

I recently saw The Trip at the movies, and enjoyed the banter of the two leads, and the fact it didn't have much of a plot. It is the Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon show, and I like them both, so it worked for me. Imagine a road trip with Russell Crowe, as himself, and Daniel Craig, trying to out-do each other? Hmmm ... Talk about a clash of egos. But would they be half as entertaining?

Watched another episode in the third season of Mad Men. Will Pete's wife find out about the baby he had with Peggy? What will happen with Joan and that loser doctor she married? Will Don have an affair with his daughter's teacher? Compulsory viewing for me. Can't wait to find out what happens next, though I admit I'm way behind the rest of the world in finding the answers.

Watched the entire first season of Downton Abbey. I'm not sure I buy the storyline of lady Mary and the Turkish dignitary, and her sister calling her a slut over the whole affair. It's a good show, though, and I'll keep watching next season, when the war arrives and changes everything. I absolutely loved Gosford Park, and watch it every once in while on DVD. The same writer is doing Downton Abbey.
