I'm enjoying the 'Liam Neeson destroys Europe' series.

What's not to enjoy?
If he is half as good as he was in Krull then its worth a look.
PDH!

Finally saw the ending of The Orient Express.  What a shocker!

When did you start it? 1983?

And what is with you with ADHD and movies?  Is there a particular reason you've never seen a film from start to finish in one sitting?

I watch movies on cable.  I get bored with a movie, or there's a commercial break, I jump around looking for something better.

My grandmother used to go to the movies at random times, watch from whenever she sat down, stay for the next showing, and leave when they got to the part where she came in.  I guess she viewed time like Billy Pilgrim or something.  She was kind of a weird lady.

Used to make me peanut butter and banana sandwiches and Ovaltine though. :wub:

Right, as is more common I flip on the idiot box and there's some movie that's halfway through.

What should I do then, not watch it so I can build up my Languish rep?

Yes.
PDH!

A super hero marathon weekend.

Thor - Started watching it ages ago but couldn't get into the second half. A lot more asgardy and less earth bound than I expected it to be, I expected it to be very grounded on Earth after an initial origin story. It...had its moments but overall it was just too silly.

Captain America- This film has moments of supreme awesomeness. And some typical dull draggy moments. The CG is also rather crap, when they're jumping on the train for instance it just looks so darn fake and cartoony. But overall rather good. Rather nifty was all the little (and not so little) links to other Marvel films.

Turn the tv on earlier.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Tonights episode of Dead Walking was freaking outstanding.

The show is not about zombies. If that is your expectation, then you will be dissapointed - but then, the show would not be nearly as good as it is, either.

Another vampire show? Just what we need. :bleeding:
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The current episode just made this entire half season worth the effort.

The current episode bought a lot of lost ground back for the show as a whole.  They've ensured I'll continue watching so long as they keep delivering the punches (and the beautiful camera-work) like that.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I always look forward to sunday nights these days.

Dexter was awesome. Homeland always is. Good shit.

The Walking Dead:

Agree with throbby those last 5 minutes made up for all the soppy stupid slow paced idiotic shit earlier in the season. That was a trope killing scene.

Though, it would have made a much better full length movie than half a season of TV.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
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."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

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.
