poor Wall-E misses the latest episode of Lost!

I see that the CGI wizards at Pixar are developing a flick called "WALL-E", about a cute looking maintenance robot who tries to clean up a polluted future Earth. It looks like it could be wonderful. The robot looks sweet. Let's hope its not to maudlin and schmaltzy though. If its half as good as "Happy Feet", I'll be chuffed.

In the news today was the great BSkyB TV v Virgin Media fist-y-cuffs. Oh dear, I do hope this is sorted soon. At least one of my pals (hello Mandy) has suffered here because of two billionaires having an right ding-dong over cash. So at the moment, as far as I understand it, if you subscribe to Virgin Media cable tv you no longer get Sky One and Two, Sky Sports or Sky News etc…and you wont until they come to some arrangement (i.e. BSkyB TV get the dosh they want from Virgin - which looks unlikely to happen). Bugger. What a way to miss seeing "Lost" or "24"!

At the moment we only have the five basic network channels. I always new it was a good idea to invest the money into our DVD collection instead!! Still, I'm looking into getting Freeview soon, as its included in the awesome Panasonic DVD recorder I want to buy when it comes down a bit in price...its not in the top price range of Blu-Ray or HD-DVD, but those players costs the equivalent of the GDP of an small African nation, so a bit beyond my shopping basket yet!
