Hugos
I got the ballot form for this year's Hugo awards in the post today.
Looks like I'll have to read 5 books in the next couple of months.
But I can at least almost form an opinion on Dramatic Presentations.
The films I had seen were Dead Man's Chest, and V for Vendetta. Neither of them really deserve the award. So I have another 3 films to watch.
Had a quick look at what was avaialable on Virgin's Video on Demand. The Prestige wasn't available, A Scanner Darkly was too expensive at £3.50. Children of Men was a whopping 1p, so I decided I could afford that one.
Interesting film. Not quite sure I quite get how and why mass infertility caused the social structure to end up the way it has, but the film's really not about that. So that get's my top vote so far. I'll have to see the other two before making up my mind.
Short form, we have a choice of Doctor Who, Doctor Who, Doctor Who, Galactica or Stargate.
The thing that strikes me about all of these, apart from Girl in the Fireplace, is that they really require knowledge of the entire series.
The other thing that strikes me is that any show where the hero bursts through a mirror on a horse is just so cool that the other contestants don't stand a chance.
