Consume ALL the media! (Or, why days need more hours)

We finished with season 4 of Breaking Bad. Season 2 was a bit slow compared to the rock solid setup of season 1 and I wasn't too fond of the pink teddy thing, but seasons 3 and 4 hit the spot. I think I'll stop for now until Season 5 is complete so I can just watch it all at once instead of ending mid-way through. We also caught up with the episodes of Korra available on the Nick site Kerreth linked to us.

We recently got Blockbuster online rentals so we can get stuff that isn't readily available on Netflix (mostly Warner Brothers, Disney and Dreamworks flicks). It's not a bad deal considering we can rent games with the same service with no time restriction and get any movie from a local store with no time limit when we trade in discs from our queue that were mailed; I really don't see why anyone would bother renting under the normal conditions of a Blockbuster store anymore, but I'm glad that the stores are still around.

Anyways! Added the following movies to the queue:
Tower Heist
Toy Story
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl
Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit
I, Robot
Puss in Boots
Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
Toy Story 2
Gattaca
The Pirates! Band of Misfits
National Treasure
Chicken Run
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Toy Story 3
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
Big Trouble in Little China
National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets
How to Train Your Dragon
Ghost Ship
Next
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
The Transporter
The Hunger Games
The Cabin in the Woods
The Shining

Well, I can cross Angel Beats off my Netflix list. I tried to give it a fair chance, but after five episodes, this is all I can see:

How Angel Beats was described to me: "Kids in Purgatory fight God as revenge for their unfair lives."
What actually happens in Angel Beats: Pink-haired girl pulls some schoolyard bullshit on supernatural quiet girl, while throwing J-rock concerts to steal food tickets in a horribly obvious fashion which no one notices.

Oh hey, is that the UK or US Being Human on your list?

If US, how is it?

UK. It's... okay. I watched maybe three episodes.

I just finished watching the entire second season of The Walking Dead, in one sitting. Here's a tip, don't do what I did, it tends to make you a bit paranoid.
