And that's a good thing. Season 2 of The Hour just premiered on BBC America, so here's why you should set your DVR and catch up with the previous six episodes ASAP.

They have great minimalist things-collapsing title sequences.

They star stylish, handsome, successful guys who smoke with confidence...

...and less handsome (but still handsome) lower-ranking guys with dickish ambition...

...and strong, tormented career women succeeding in male-dominated fields...

For nearly a year, Jo Ann Santangelo documented the stories of people living in Austin, TX in effort to reduce the stigma associated with the virus.

Chris

In June of 2008, Chris tested negative for HIV, on July 23, 2008, he tested positive. Chris was 21 years old. He got tested because he wasn't feeling good several days after having sexual intercourse with a new partner. When he tested positive for HIV Chris told the clinic the name of the person he had sex with, the clinic contacted and tested him for HIV, he tested positive. He didn't know.

Dave

Dave tested positive for HIV on September 13, 1986. He was an undergraduate at Texas A&M University in College Station, TX. Dave got tested after a fellow student he met at a local gay bar showed up at his room and told him he was HIV positive. It was Dave's first sexual encounter.

Dave has been living with HIV for over 25 years.

Philip

Phillip had just separated from his wife when she was murdered in their home on January 13, 1988. About a month later he learned he tested positive for HIV. "This was 1988 all I could see was two orphan kids...I realized I could not get sick, I was all the only support they had. So, I said I would make it til they turned 18, and I did and that was a long time ago."

Philip has been living with HIV for 24 years.

Clara

Clara tested positive for HIV in 1998. She was told this by her sister, after she woke up from a coma in a nursing home. Clara had been beaten, raped and found naked in a dumpster. The man who raped her was HIV positive.

Did you know the movie was based on poem? Burton wrote it back in 1982 while working for Disney.

Source: youtube.com  /  via: boingboing.net

Between the poem's inception in 1982 and its film release in 1993, Jack Skellington and his world went through different iterations. For years Disney wanted to turn Burton's idea into a short film or TV Christmas special but feared it was too scary for kids. By the time it made to the big screen under the Touchstone Films banner, plot elements had been added or changed. Like a game of "Spot The Differences", these are the ones I found:

• Jack becomes the King of Halloween Town
• Zero's nose changed from a glowing Jack'o'Lantern to Rudolph Red
• More holiday doors were added to the forest
• Sally subplot added, and with it, a love story to soften Jack's personality
• Jack goes from being jealous and anger at Santa to a more naive wonder
• Lock, Shock and Barrel kidnap Santa offscreen
• Santa Claus name changed to Sandy Claws
• Jack believes he is giving Santa a well deserved vacation instead of stealing his job
• Gumby and Pokey evil toys removed, presumably for copyright reasons
• Oogie Boogie subplot added, giving Jack a villain to fight
• When shot down by the military, Jack lands in the arms of a stone angel
• Jack is reinvigorated in his role as the King of Halloween and gets the girl, as opposed to continuing in his depression.

Did you notice any more differences? Leave them in the comments!

The night begins in 3…2…1…

So it all starts when Lindsay goes to see Justin Bieber and The Wanted in concert.

She has a crush on Max George of The Wanted and she's all:

Concert's over, let's party!

So while at the hotel bar, she spots her boy band babe.

It's been 19 years since Derice, Sanka, Yul and Junior's memorable ride in Calgary. Check out what the cast is up to now.

Derice Bannock - Leon

He may have been faster than his father, but Derice never made it to Olympics as a sprinter. Instead he convinced a retired "sled God" to teach a few Jamaicans a new sport. Leon went on to star in Cliffhanger with Sylvester Stallone and Above the Rim with Tupac Shakur and earned an Emmy Nomination for his portrait of Little Richard. After he mastered turn-12 in Calgary the heartthrob became one of those guys who actually dates models. If you look carefully you can spot him on Real Housewives of Atlanta as the baby daddy of Cynthia Bailey's daughter.

BONUS: Born Leon Robinson. He dropped the "Robinson" for a more unique and mysterious stage name, or he had secret ambitions of becoming a Brazilian soccer star.

Sanka Coffie - Doug E. Doug

Sanka was the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica, but he put his ego aside for the for the sake of the team. The film's comic relief, and soul, appeared to be the break-out comedic star from Cool Runnings, starring in Operation Dumbo Drop alongside Danny Glover and Ray Liotta and then joining the cast of The Cosby Show. However he was quickly reduced to small roles in unknown films and cameos on Law & Order. He was most recently seen as a pastor slash drug dealer on two episdoes of Justified.

Yul Brenner - Malik Yoba

Once he let go of his anger towards Junior for ending his Olympic track dreams the big baldy went on to carve himself a successful, but rather unnoticed, career in film and TV including both of Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? films. However his most memorable post-Rasta Rocket role is as Ice, the bounty hunter slash caterer from Arrested Development.

Junior Bevil - Rawle D. Lewis

After turning down that lucrative brokerage job at Webster, Webster & Cohen in Miami to make history with his Jamaican brethren in Calgary, Rawle D. Lewis fell off the acting map returning only for a brief appearance in K-PAX. Most recently he was seen taking a picture with YouTube's Sexy Sax Man. Still a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody.
