Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “the Sherlock Holmes, Daniel Craig James Bond, and Out of the Past are all worth grabbing.” Alex says, “If you don’t already own Azumanga Daioh, it’s definitely worth picking up. Otherwise, the Zeta Gundam films are some excellent films.”

  1. I never saw Ted, and we don’t get cable in the cave I live in so I didn’t know the story any further than the “Adult Talking Teddy Bear” of it. I couldn’t figure out why they included Flash Gordon with it, it just seemed like such a random addition, like adding Dune to a Hangover bundle.

    (I read the description, for anyone else that’s curious, it seems that Ted and whatever the male lead’s name was were big fans of Flash Gordon and reference it a bunch in the movie.)

  2. If you haven’t watched it, Lexx is well worth it. It was an extremely unique SciFi show, and very adult-oriented. At least until season 4, when (ugh) SyFy got a hold of it…
