first person shooter

Watched Doom last night, inbetween Flash Forward and Edwardian Country House (which always gets me flabbergasted on just how deluded the upstairs lot are). Quite a good action film, but the sheer amount of backstory, setup and interesting and complex characters (I admittedly did go 'spotting the English actors... ooo, Ben Daniels?') made you feel that it really could've been longer. And sorry, gamers, but the Doom POV sequence made me giggle. Would've been better if that'd been an occasional shot interspersed throughout the film, not one chunk near the end.

I feel I'm sufficiently prepped for nano since this arrived in the post this morning.

Somewhere on the intarwebz, there is a radio clip where Antonia, the kitchen maid, utterly lays into the father, who had been spouting fatuous stuff about how it all worked and how he felt like he was head of a big family.
