that and no handicap access.



Sorry, but it was right there  :blush:
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Humbug.  I'm getting screwed out of going to go see Cap again.  Wanted to see the preview last night.

I resolve to see a matinee tomorrow.  Might as well, actually, since I've got to go see Grand Budapest Hotel (hooray!) anyway.

I'm only slightly dark. I could pass :D

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I've watched the first six episodes of "The Following". I was sort of impressed by the first three-four. But then it's been downhill. Fast. James Purfoy is good at being evil, and Bacon actually isn't as bad as I remembered him. But the plot. OMFGJCOAB.

It gets dumber and dumber the longer you watch it.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Norgy

I have no problem believing that. Then again, there's so much dumbfuckery passing itself off as tv these days, that I shouldn't be surprised.
The new "Dracula" series? I hope they all get really bad athlete's foot.

Yeah, that series went to a lot of stupid places, very quickly.

While I'm not a huge fan, Hannibal is far superior at doing pretty much the same thing (criminal mastermind manipulates FBI agent into the verge of madness using other psychopaths). So give it a watch if you liked the concept.

Josephus

I watched Season One of the Following. Then started season two and gave up on it after a couple episodes.

Was Hannibal on last night? Think I missed it.

Ideologue

It was.  Probably the season's weakest episode so far, sure, but that's no insult.

Liep

Eddie Izzard still had one of the best quotes of the series.
"Af alle latterlige Ting forekommer det mig at være det allerlatterligste at have travlt" - Kierkegaard

"JamenajmenømahrmDÆ!DÆ! Æhvnårvaæhvadlelæh! Hvor er det crazy, det her, mand!" - Uffe Elbæk

Ideologue

What in particular?

For a minute, I was really petrified they were going to have Will Graham quote the entire "No!--that is incidental" speech from Silence. :bleeding:  It was still a perhaps-too-obvious callback, but at least it was in his character's voice (it wouldn't even be appropriate coming from Mikkelsen's Hannibal).

Saw Cap and Grand Budapest today.  Guess which one was staggeringly mediocre and flat, and which one was really awesome?

Considering your taste in films, Vegas has the odds called off.
