Ooh - I really want to see Across the Universe - wanted to catch it when it was on at the cinema but missed it. Nice to see it reccd.
Interesting comment re fat on DW! LOL! I really enjoyed the first ep though - I think Donna is going to be great and thank god she's not going to be in love with him - I'm so sick of that. CT is extremely talented so I have high hopes for her.
As for Exit Wounds - yeah, the actor playing Grey didn't sell the part at all. Burn Gorman and Naoko Mori acted everyone else off the screen in this one. And much as I love JB, I've come to the conclusion that he doesn't FEEL anything he acts - which is fine when he's doing over the top gay/sexy stuff but he can't do any other emotions to save his life and his angst is truly awful! I was really aware that he's just not IN the moment at all when he acts - compare him to someone like David Hewlett in SGA and there's a massive difference to how much they inhabit their character. JB always looks like he's acting to me whereas DH looks like Rodney.
