TV/Movies Megathread

I'd put it, without any deep thought on the question, around the 10-1 against mark.

That gives me a little hope at least.

Mad Max is picking up steam in the Oscar race; it has won a few awards and made a lot of "best of 2015" shortlists from professional and reviewer associations. I think it has a very good chance to get a Best Picture nod (now that they can nominate up to 10 flicks for it).

'Reasonable Doubt ' - that's one pedestrian film and Samual L.Jackson perfectly matched his acting to the pace of the movie.

BBC America is showing "The Patriot"....are Brits really that self-loathing?

It's a money making venture.  They're trying to attract American viewers.

What does the flying represent in Birdman?

That's my Oscar pick for best movie and best actor.  Love the long steadicam shots too.  Cool, but not overly arty.

Just saw it again and it was better than the first viewing.

[The Brain]

Didn't care much for Birdman.

Birdman was already in this year's oscars. It got 4 (Best Picture, Director, Original Screenplay and Cinematography.

Not criticising you opinion, but for some reason I ended up really disliking this film, I started out wanting to like it for the reasons you mentioned. 

Yeah as the Larch said, it's already had it's pop at the big time.

Caught Superman Returns on the telly. I think the opening credits are the most exciting thing in that film.

[Eddie Teach]

Ant Man. Cheesy but very enjoyable.

As I said, it improved with viewing for me, so maybe a second viewing might be worth your while.

Watched a lousy film on Netflix, Harbinger down.  It was funded by kickstarter and made by people who completely misunderstood why The Thing was a good movie.  While I do admire their dedication to making a movie with animatronic puppets, their writing leaves a lot to be desired.

Sisters - fairly good though a few bits drag

Watching "What If."  Amusing little romcom starring Harry Potter.  Eye candy is solid, even if the leading lady is more goofy cute than classic beauty.
