No, is that one of the new versions on the current season of Weeds? I've only heard the original Malvina Reynolds version because I haven't actually started watching Weeds yet.

It's from the new season, yeah. There were rumors of Jay-Z recording a version of the song, but those were last season.

It's a highly addicting show. Plus, Mary-Louise Parker is adorable.

I have seen exactly one episode to date, and I agree on all counts. I've been wanting to watch more, but I can't because I watched a random season 2 episode and I like to watch shows from the beginning (except Lost, which, for some reason, I've never had any inclination to watch the first season of).

Showtime On Demand. It's where it's at.

Or where it used to be...back when I had cable two days ago...

 

[TheCorpulent1]

That's where I watched the one episode. But its backlog of Weeds episodes only went back to the middle of season 2--specifically, the earliest episode available was the one I watched.

Then I guess the other option is Netflix.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

One of them, yes. But I'm watching anime on Netflix right now. Weeds is on the list somewhere.

 

[PhotoJones]

Ugh...anime.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The majority of it rubs me the wrong way too--mostly because of the repetition of archetypes and the lame-ass 'humor' that's laced throughout even the most serious series--but there's this one series called Read or Die that I saw a bit of on Cartoon Network and found interesting. It's about a chick who can control paper so, of course, she works for some kind of international library/spy agency. It's really weird and I obviously don't know all the ins and outs of it, but I'm looking forward to watching it.

You'll notice I'm talking like I'm not actually watching it right now. That's because I misspoke earlier; I'm actually watching Entourage via Netflix right now. The Read or Die anime is next.

Anime is just not for me. Period. Entourage is, though.

HAve you noticed???? By the Goddess I didn't notice on the first one, even though they were there... but I sure did on the second one!!!! I'm so thrilled!!!! Wait a second, you know not what I'm ranting about... I'm talking about those great, amazingly missed... Footnotes!!!

I actually got to the line before that last line and was like seriously if I read one more line without her telling me what in the **** she's on about I am out of here.

But then you did, so it's cool.

Thats a shadow *****e.

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow *****e!

...don't ask me, it's early here.

Yeah, s'good. The second season is probably my favorite, now that I've seen it in its entirety. I originally picked up watching the show on HBO during the tail end of the second season, right around the Mandy Moore stuff.

I liked Many Moore's role as...herself. She's not bad.

That's how anime gets you, you catch one good episode of a show with a halfway-cool premise and next thing you know you're stuck sitting through an entire series' worth of those obnoxious characters and painfully awkward non-jokes hoping for just one more episode's worth of coolness under all that ****.

That said, I enjoyed Paranoia Agent as one could only enjoy a show about a child who solves the problems of schoolteachers being terrorized by their psychotic-hooker split personalities by assaulting them with a baseball bat.

 

[Super_Hero]

cool, cant wait..............

Yeah, that was my experience with Hellsing. Sounded like an awesome premise, and the first episode or two had a really cool atmosphere and story going... then it derails into a soap opera between "Police Girl" and Alucard, punctuated by the occasional power-up for Alucard meant specifically to one-up the previous power-up--apparently a time-honored tradition that all animes seem to love so very, very much. I got like 1/3rd of the way through it and then said "**** it."
