Walking Dead....myeh, its OK but....its just lacking some spark.

I don't think so. Very tense and gripping right now.

Once Upon A Time, the new show on ABC.  I am... willing to give it another week?  Certainly not top notch, and definitely seemingly aimed for children or females, it was still vaguely watchable.  That and Ginnifer Goodwin is rather attractive. :wub:

She looks a lot better with hair covering up those ears.

I'm unsure how they are going to be able to do a 5th season of Sons of Anarchy, no one is going to be left alive.

The most recent episode of Boardwalk Empire is a classic. Best episode of the series. Anyone watching it?

I am. It was a pretty good one but any episode where the disenfranchised Proby isn't in is by default a good one.

Saw The Man From Earth last night on Netflix Instant Watch. A small, quirkly movie about a man who believes he's a 14,000 year old caveman. Written by the guy who wrote Mirror, Mirror from Star Trek TOS and the episode of the Twilight Zone with the kid who could imagine things into existence. Pretty good flick.

It was alright despite what it was, could really have done with a budget though to actually show some stuff.

So I have a film anticipation question for you all:

Are you super excited for David Fincher's remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo?

Some of the Oscar watchers seem to think it will be the greatest thing since cut bread, I'm dubious.  I figured Languish might be a good bell weather for this question.  :)

The original was merely meh and American remakes of foreign films normally suck.

Apparently they did some filming in Uppsala though so I am curious.

The book was terrible so I'm not sure what the movie could advance with such material.

I thought the original was pretty good. I'll watch the American one too, probably be slicker and faster paced. Will it be better? Probably not.

The original was really quite good.  I think it improved on the novel.

The remake looks promising, although I think I prefer Noomi Rapace as Salander to Rooney Mara.

Noomi Rapace was able to depict Lizbeth Salander's spirit and attitude very well. It's just that in the books Salander has the body of a 12 year old girl. Her boob-job is part of her emotional recovery after her rape, symbolizing her maturity and emancipation. I think Rooney Mara has the body as depicted in the book. If she can act the part as well as Rapace we will see.

I love the books, the only thing about them that annoys me is that all the bad guys have to be Nazis as well.

I look forward to the movies.

First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
