TV/Movies Megathread

Tom Hardy is just a badass, end of story.

Tom Hardy + Gary Oldman + 1950's Soviet Union = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uia6y9SRsj4

I liked his nakedness in that one short film "Sergeant Slaughter, My Big Brother "

[Eddie Teach]

Best movies I've seen TH in

Inception.

He was the best thing in Locke. He was also the only thing in Locke.

I was bored and somebody recommended the 100. I had tried watching the pilot before and failed, but have now reached a few episodes and it's still shit.

Is it going to improve radically or should I find something else to waste time on?

Same.  The actors were supposed to be stuck in a post-apocalyptic mess, but they all looked like they belonged on teh set of 90210.  The one who had spent months ina  storage bin had makeup and her hair styled. Kinda made the whole suspension of disbelief a bit hard.

Did the rest of you folks not watch Cloud Atlas all the way through to the end, or something?

I did, but I am about your take on it...
It seemed to trace a bleak portrayal of the future, namely that our problems of class struggle are a constant, only the definition of class will change?

[spoiler]At the very, very end, it's revealed that the framing sequence--Zachry at the fire--takes place not on the doomed Earth but on an offworld colony, meaning that the space people Meronym came to Big Isle to call in the first place really did eventually show up and rescue the inhabitants of the Earth.[/spoiler]  I don't know if the book ends that way or not, but I'd say the film definitely has [spoiler]an overall happy ending.[/spoiler]

honestly, I can not recall that at all.  I'll have to rewatch the movie, if I ever get rid of my headaches.

Maybe you should see a doctor?

13 Monkeys. So what's official Lanuguish thought? I tried making it through ep.4 and just got bored with it.

Is it going to improve radically or should I find something else to waste time on?

Yes, but if you don't like it after a few episodes you will never like it.

[viper37]

Maybe you should see a doctor?

Waiting list.

The bear couple on Cucumber's the most accurate thing in the show so far

Edit: Also some of the best monologues ever, especially from the sister.

[celedhring]

Kingsman. Had lots of fun. It plays pretty much like The Avengers series but crazier and gorier. Samuel L. Jackson stands out as the Bond villain, and there's a bunch of truly laugh-out-loud moments, particularly in the deliciously over the top third act.

There's some commentary on the British class system that I admit I can't fully grasp, the film is essentially about a charver that becomes an upper class git.

Also, of additional value to right-wing languishites:

[spoiler]Obama gets its head blown up.[/spoiler]

Wow, SVU had quite a ridiculous take on gamergate.

That said, having Ice T's character reveal that he is a gamer and explains gamer lingo throughout the episode: priceless.

[mongers]

Still enjoying 'Wolf Hall', despite having to turn brightness up to 11. And next week the King and entourage are actually staying at aforesaid place.

Wow, SVU had quite a ridiculous take on gamergate.

Ridiculous how?

It is wonderful.

Despite it's typical mainstream BBC anti-Catholic bias

[Ideologue]

Wow, SVU had quite a ridiculous take on gamergate.

Ridiculous how?

Stabler took a computer into an interrogation room and beat it till he was satisfied it had suffered.

(I haven't watched SVU in like ten years.)
