TV/Movies Megathread

[Eddie Teach]

He could have been starring on one of the Law & Order/CSI/NCIS spinoffs now!

Just read that DiCaprio turned down the role of Anakin in ep. 2 and 3

Good calls.

For him, yeah, sure.  But for people who watched episode 2, not so much.  I mean, he couldn't have been as bad in it as Hayden Christiansen, right?

Ant-Man. It's quite fun, but there's a lot of deja vu in it. I think Marvel needs to freshen up their template a bit.

The whole villain subplot was blatantly lifted from Iron Man 1. And the villain was about the only weak thing in Iron Man 1.

Natalie Portman's acting chops couldn't lift the terrible script, so I don't think that Leo's could have helped.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Amelia Earhart is so HOTT.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Amelia Earhart is so HOTT.

I agree. That's the film where I fell in love with Amy Adams.

Moteki- I watch a fair bit of Japanese TV. Helps with the hardest part of language learning (listening). Somehow up until now I've managed to avoid this one despite it being 5 years old.
Damn. It is brilliant.
Not just for a Japanese TV series (usually crappy quality) but as a comedy in its own right. Probably one of my favourite 2 Japanese series of all time.
A perfect storm of past planted seeds coming to fruition means a 29 year old semi-virgin loser suddenly enters his 'Moteki'- a single period of your life where you a very popular with the opposite sex.
Lots of silly flash backs and glances inside his imagination. Romance stuff kept to a minimum in favour of comedy. And the sound track is brilliant. Just watched an episode where the cutest girl sings a Shinsei Kamattechan at karaoke. Yay.

[Liep]

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Obama. He's funny.

This just made me realize that after so many years of drought, we're gonna have four big space opera flicks in the following 15 months (Star Trek 3, Rogue Squadron, Guardians 2, Ep VIII).

The 'Wizard of Oz' is on. 

[CountDeMoney]

The 'Wizard of Oz' is on. 

Been seeing that more often during the Thanksgiving and Xmas/New Years holidays.  When I was a kid, it was more of an Easter season thing.

The local cable monopoly is cutting off AMC networks (so no Walking Dead, Better Call Saul, etc).

Probably time to cut the cord.  That pretty much leaves TCM and some sports as the only thing I have it for.
