And the males.....

(From Cast Away. He doesn't say much but we felt his loss like anything when he was lost at sea. Sometimes it's just the simple things...)

(From the fantastic series and film, Wallace and Gromit. He's smart, sensible and saves his silly owners butt more then most. Gotta be the best dog ever.)

(From the Sci-fi series, Stargate SG-1. How can you resist our favourite space monkey? He's hot, incredibly smart and always stands up for the little guy... or alien....)

(From the trilogy, Back to the Future. He's cute, fiery and just an all round decent guy. One that you can take home to mum (...especially mine since she loves Michael J Fox!).)

(From Burton's classic, Edward Scissorhands. He's innocent, kind and most of all, quirky. Awww!)

(From the film, Crocodile Dundee. I swear, us Aussies are all this bush savvy. Okay, maybe not but hopefully we're down to earth, charming and witty like he is!)

(From Galaxy Quest. He's under appreciated, stressed out and has a fantastic dry sense of humour about it all. Love him!)

(From the world's best TV show (Yes the worlds best) The Simpsons. Oh come on, do I really need to explain myself here why this man is the funniest, lovable, relatable character ever?)


(From Men in Black. The brightest rookie with attitude to beat. Thank God he's here to protect the planet.)

(Hee hee hee...I bent my wookie....)


(From the UK series, Coupling. Just the stuff that comes out of his mouth will have you in bewildered amazement. He is funny, supportive and fabulously tragic.)


(From the underrated film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. He's protective, well meaning and hopelessly flawed. Damn, he cracks me up every time I watch it.)


(From the film adaptation, Les Miserables. He's obsessive, determined and cold. He'll stop at nothing to see that justice is served....)


(From the best of the trilogy, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. Nothing strikes fear, like cloaks on horse back. Gives me the shivers now. Favourite scary dudes.)


(Fortunately we have this guy to save us! Yay! He's loyal, gentle, strong and brave. And really good looking with the whole mysertious thing happening there....swooon!)


(From Napoleon Dynamite. Despite his geekiness, lack of a serious job and eh, personality this guy pulls a decent chick and turns out to be a cute little guy anyway. Gotta give him points for that....!)

(From the classic, Psycho. So nice and awkward at first. Talk about learning not to judge a book by it's cover. Our sweet, innocent little murderer....eek eek eek!)


(From the movie, Remains of the Day. He's loyal, dedicated and incredibly polite. His decorum provided for the best story of unrequited love... *sigh*)


(From the tv show, Rugrats. He's a natural leader displaying kindness and the innocent charm only a babe could do. Have an incredible imagination too.)


(From the sadly canceled classic, Firefly. He's devoted, protective and gentile. Plus he's a handsome doctor. What more do you want?)


(From the best movie of all times, The Shawshank Redemption. I doubt the prisons are full of good, peaceful convicts like him but we always have hope.)


(From the Aussie classic, Shine. He's an inspiration. The reason I now love classical music.)


(Is there seriously a serial killer as intriguing or as scary as this guy?)


(Couldn't really not include a character from Star Wars, now couldn't I. Funny, tough and an awesome pilot. Also he's not related to the princess so that's a plus right there!)


(From Zoolander. Talks absolute crap in the funniest way. Plus he can pull his jocks right out of his pants with one move. Classic.)


(From the self titled movie. Proves the original is often the best. The guy has a chocolate factory for crying out loud. It says it all.)

(From the mini series, The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant. She may have been the focus but he was the real reason for watching. His hopelessly one sided love and overall good intentions as a soldier turned into an obsessive hunt for revenge. Amazing to watch. )

And that's the men! Love to hear who you like.

Big and Small Screen People That I Adore (Females)

(From the self titled movie. I adore her honesty, sense of humour and fun loving ways. I think there's a little of her in all us girls)

(From the hit television series, House MD. She's sassy, smart and wars daily with everyone's favourite doctor. One of the best woman in television.)

(From the movie, Garden State. She's cute, down to earth and quirky. I love quirky people. Absolutely love 'em.)

(From the classic film, It's A Wonderful Life. She's determined, gentle and kind. If she was in my reality, she'd be my best mate for sure.)

(From Forrest Gump. She's lost, desperate but eventually she finds her way home. I identify with her so much when I'm feeling hurt or blue.)

(From the movie, A League of Their Own. She's confident, strong and talented. She's got this real inner determination that I just love.)

(From the comedy film, Legally Blonde. She's intelligent, knowledgable and breaks stereotype. Plus she's just so funny to watch. I'd have her as my lawyer any day.)

(From the underrated TV show, Extras. She's spacey, silly and so lovable. I loved every scene with her in it just to see what she'd say. Great great character.)


(From the Pixar classic, Monsters Inc. The cutest little animated character. Awwww!)


(From my fav, Silence of the Lambs. Oh wow, where do I begin with how gutsy and smart this woman is? If you haven't watched the film, WATCH THE FILM (and no, I wasn't shouting, the caps locks key got eh, stuck or something.)

(From the 50's classic, Sunset Blvd. She's vain, conceited and obsessed with herself until the point of insanity. Yet we can not turn away....)


(From the biopic, Walk the Line. Great voice with a fiery spirit. If I was ever famous, I'd want to be like her.)

Next up... the men's turn

Watching the Box

Emma, eh, inspired me for this blog (Okay I stole the idea). These are the programs I've watched either on DVD or Television this year and what I've thought...

• Newest Edition: Firefly. Oh wow. My work mate made me watch this and unlike, say most things he likes watching, I loved it! Not only could I now follow a conversation with him, I found a great character based western sci-fi. Heaps of fun. Made me laugh and was very entertaining. It's on the "DVD's To Buy" List.




• Bye, bye Sara. Bye, bye Prison Break. Seriously, what were the writer's thinking? Hey, I confess, like a lot of girls watching the show, I was checking out the serious eye candy on a regular basis *blush* but you can't kill of the flamin' female lead, especially when she's practically the only one in the show!? I hadn't actually watched much of Season 3 (Loved Season 2, thought it ended on a bit of a downer ending with them back in prison- *rolls eyes*) but when that happened, the show jumped the shark and that was curtains for me.




• Channel Ten this year has been surprisingly kind, letting the viewers watch Season 4 of House at the same time as the US so there was literally only a few weeks in between the two seasons here in Australia. It was awesome. Plus Season 3 came out on DVD so I could relive my favourite section of the show: the Wilson/House/Cuddy love-triangle ("Seriously?") at the end of the season. As long as there's witty banter between these three on the show, I don't care about the Ducklings/ Cottages/ Whatever you call House's lackies. Though if I could just have one more request writers... Bring Back Chase! Hell, I could talk about this show all day so I'll stop right here.




• I bought the Coupling (UK version) Seasons 1-3. I remember watching some episodes with my brother on telly and recently found it again on YouTube. Love "Remember This" and the whole story of Patrick and Sally. And hey, who doesn't like Jeff and his nudity buffer.




• I also watched Desperate Housewives and can't really remember too much about it since it was on at the start of the year. I think it's been affected by the Writers Strike too. It was okay this season. I do remember the whole Bree/ Orson storyline (Possibly my fav pairing in the series too) got pretty OTT. I used to like Susan (love her daughter) but now she's too much of a stereotype ditz. Let's see if it avoids the shark next season.




• Everyone has their vices for trying to numb pain. This year, I re-watched Stargate SG-1 (Seasons 1-8.) and remembered what a great show it used to be before Vala came on the show. And Jack got promoted. And Janet died. And General Hammond got promoted. And the new characters came on board. And the show focused way too much on Sam's love life. And they stopped using the flamin' Stargate. And they all died back in Eygpt 5000 years ago. Season 7 finale (The Lost City two-parter) is possibly the best and last good episode on the show. Oh yeah, and did I say that Vala coming on the show was a bad thing? I can't mention that enough.




• And of course, who could forget.... The Simpsons! This year we got the movie and another DVD set. A good year! I didn't watch enough of the new episodes on television to comment on the latest season but it still makes me laugh and smile. Oh gosh, and who could forget Spider Pig. :D

That's my television addiction for the year.
