Geri writes: You might be interested to know that Sean Bean’s British TV show ‘Sharpe’s Challenge’ is being show in BBCAmerica under the title ‘Sharpes Eagle.’ From BBCAmerica: Every Saturday night this summer, BBC AMERICA takes viewers on a sweeping two-hour journey to a new land, a new battle, and a new set of potential love interests with the epic romantic war saga Sharpe. Created by novelist Bernard Cornwell and starring Sean Bean (North Country, The Lord of the Rings), Sharpe chronicles the victories and loves of the legendary fictional Napoleonic war hero, Richard Sharpe.

Movie Chat returns this weekend with a double-bill of “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.” Join us Sunday on our IRC server at 2 pm EST when we pop our copies of ESB into the DVD player. After the usual confusion, at around 2 pm EST we’ll all press play on our individual players and proceed to cheer and jeer (or discuss and argue, if you like!) the finer points of the film. We plan to take a break midway through the film, to allow for stretching of fingers and backs. Barliman will be on hand to serve drinks and snacks (and to enforce the house rules). “Return of the Jedi” will follow at 5:30 p.m. [More]
