I just downloaded Sparklehorse and DangerMouse's "Dark Night of the Soul."
Sufjan Stevens' new album, the Age of Adz, and Candy Claws "Hidden Lands."
All quite good.

The last good/funny movie I downloaded is Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Oh, and I'm obsessed with BBC miniseries, so I can never go long without getting my Pride and Prejudice fix.

TV shows aren't really my cup of tea, but I did get briefly addicted to True Blood and Mad Men when I first got here.

Around this time of year the Britain Music Awards, Country Music Awards, American Music Awards are decided and Grammy nominations are announced. Gives me quite a few ideas of what I've missed.

I just downloaded The Voyage of the Dawn Treader of the Chronicles of Narnia. By far the best of the three so far. If you're resistant of a bit of schmaltz along the way, I recommend it.

Ack! I killed the thread! Let's give it another try with a somewhat comprehensive type list. Mostly old stuff, but a couple of new things in there.
UK costume drama miniseries.
Daniel Deronda (2002). A lush adaptation of George Eliot's sympathetic tale of Jewish Britain.
Vanity Fair (1998). Jarring soundtrack, but a fascinating tale of a woman who won't compromise an exciting, full and rich life merely for the sake of propriety.
Pride and Prejudice (1995). When I saw Kiera Knightly's version I winced, but I wished that the mother had replaced the insipid characterization in Jennifer Ehle's version. Jennifer Ehle is Elizabeth Bennet.
Jane Eyre (2006). At last plain Jane is sexy. Still plain, but love is in the air, and the madwoman in the attic is convincing. So is Sinjin (sp) Rivers.
Longitude (2000). Curious why ships can find their way across the ocean? It shouldn't be curious that a clockmaker is the protagonist. Michael Gambon stars, which is reason enough.
Wives and Daughters (1999). OMG, the protagonist is so cute!
Downton Abbey (2010) Edwardian Upstairs/Downstairs.
(In the past couple of decades BBC's production values have leaped forward. They have luscious scores, proper sound design, and much better cinematography. It's why Top Gear US is entertaining, but Top Gear UK is brilliant.)
UK Series.
Misfits. If our friends in high school got super powers.
Zen (new). Italian detective in sharp dress and with an English accent solves crimes within a context of corruption.
Wallander. Moody Swedish crime fiction. Brutal, heartfelt and stark.
US series.
Mad Men, the Sopranos, the Wire, of course. Boardwalk Empire. Lately as filler I began watching House, and it's entertaining enough.
Stargate Universe. Something dark from the stargate family of series. Who woulda thunk it?
Caprica. Unfortunately short lived, but an interesting contemplation on artificial intelligence coupled with ubiquitous personal data floating around. And the first ever Cylon? Hot. (Prequel to Battlestar Galactica, which is a must-see.)
Shameless (new). William H. Macy as Bukowski family man. Looks good.
The Good Wife. Solid TV drama with a very pretty middle aged lead. Shoot, if only I had gone to law school . . .
Inappropriate comedy.
The Trailer Park Boys (Canada) If you have ever, even once, cracked a beer for breakfast, you are capable of enjoying yourself for hours watching these guys. I can relate, and that's friggin' scary!
Seven Periods with Mr. Gormsby (New Zealand) Required viewing for all teachers. Good luck finding it though.
Happy downloading, but this time, if the thread is dead, I can imagine you're too busy watching for Dave's.

As other posters've mentioned "Boardwalk Empire" was well worth the download and weekend's entertainment.

I've always liked a series that makes you think, "hm! Is this true?" and end up wiki'ing every person, character and actor, involved to see how factual it actually it is. THAT'S the kind'a series I enjoy watching.

Rogue (2007) - Movie about a giant crocodile. It was excellent, convincing crocodile too.

Enter the Void from Gaspar "Irreversible" Noe.

Stone with De Niro and Edward Norton.

Burke and Hare with Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis (and one of the best orgasm scenes in the universe).

All 2010.
