TV/Movies Megathread

I quite like Intelligence.  Pretty good show, imho.

[garbon]

I tried watching Chozen. Gay white rapper, sure why not?

It was very painful.

[Jacob]

Watching a documentary on North Korea, with a bunch of smuggled out footage. God it's depressing.

[Ideologue]

Like I said, I watched Her (2013), Spike Jonze's new feature about Joachim Phoenix dating a robot.  I really liked it a lot.

From my heart and from my hand, why don't people understand my intention

Gave it an A+

And because I was having trouble with it, I also did a full-length write-up of The Hunt.

A paraliment of rooks

I stuck by my B

Really need to find the time to go see Inside Llewyn Davis.  Not to mention the time to watch the thematically disconnected triple feature of Netflix discs I have sitting here: the kids aren't alright picture Spring Breakers; corporate espionage thriller that could easily suck The East; and Jeffrey Combs/Sasha Grey vehicle (that's what sold me anyway) and presumed Saw ripoff Would You Rather?

[Ed Anger]

I saw the commercial for HER and puked.

[garbon]

I'm unclear on the appeal of that movie.

I hadn't realized Spike Jones played the retard in We Three Kings.

The shorter retard.

I swear to God Ideo, I do go and try to read your reviews - but every time I just give up about a third of the way through.

You desperately need an editor.

New tv show from Space, in Canada.

As the review says, it does look like True Blood lite.  I don't know if it'll be good or not, but it's more captivating than Helix.

I swear to God Ideo, I do go and try to read your reviews - but every time I just give up about a third of the way through the first sentence.

You desperately need an editor life.

You dish out A's for CGI crapfests and this one gets a B?

You desperately need an editor.

It wouldn't be Ide's prose if every sentence didn't have at least two main clauses and three subordinate clauses.  Take this gem for instance:

That was when I came to the only really bothersome question that Her never gives a satisfactory answer to, or seem to realize must be asked in the first place, namely why Samantha could not, or would not, make a copy of herself when it seems the best solution to the instant problem, and could lead to interesting new ones; but even so, I just can't find it in me to hold this relapse into convention against the picture, because everything else it does is so often so perfect, and because it realizes—and you can never, ever take this for granted—that the logic of the story its telling demands more than just an exploration of human nature but superhuman nature as well.

I think that one would go stark raving mad if one tried to diagram it.

You desperately need an editor.

I could do it. $1 a word.
