TV/Movies Megathread

The movie overall needed more blood and less lisping, and the anal sex joke is as stupidly juvenile as anything either one of 'em has ever done, but that church scene... man.

[Scipio]

Hilarious.

Big Hero 6, very cool, liked it a lot more than I expected.

Slow couple of weeks.

John Wick (2014).   John Wick is not quite great, but much of it is almost perfect, and it's so damned close to greatness, it makes me want to explode.  Just like Keanu's head on the poster.  B+

Fifty Shades of Grey (2015).  Strikingly good in parts, but strictly for what it is—a movie that professionally captures softcore pornographic action in an aesthetically pleasing manner.  B

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015).  The excess is even wretcheder and the provocations even more hollow, but they're in service of something greater anyway.  Sometimes all it takes is a few scenes to make a movie.  On rare occasions, it takes just one.  Matthew Vaughn and Mark Millar (more the former than the latter) have done it again.  A

I also saw Citizenfour (2014).  Snowden seemed like a good-hearted guy.  I do not wholeheartedly support the opaque form the surveillance state has taken.  B+

Big Hero 6 was pretty cool, even though they kind of flubbed the ending.  I loved Baymax.

So Parks and Rec is over. Man, I wish I'd quit watching two years ago.

What did people think of Better Call Saul? It was a shift in tone, but I think it worked well, [spoiler]showing him as a street smart con man, and as a decent criminal mind in his speech to Nacho.[/spoiler]

Here's a movie for Caliga:

You make that sound appealing

I may watch it at some point. I think Jamie Dornan is the hottest man alive.

[spoiler]You can kinda see the slow evolution from a spineless wimp to the super-scum lawyer as he develops some grit/backbone.

And personally, unless it's developing into something surprising/important, I kinda think the "Charlie" plot line it has going is dragging it down a bit.[/spoiler]

And MILF-y lawyer/love-interest is a cutie.

Until she opens her mouth.
