TV/Movies Megathread

[Martinus]

Well, it seems like Veep and Game of Thrones are both premiering this week, so I may be fine one way or another.

Deadpool- Very 4th wall breaky. Its alright. Though seems a bit...I don't know. Low budget. Silly. The only two x-men thing was mad. Funny moments aplenty.

So, my fun with Archer is coming to an end and the next season of Bo Jack Horseman is also few months away. Assume I have been living under a rock. What shows should I watch next (Netflix original or not)?

Perhaps Sherlock with Cumberbatch and Bilbo?

Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt.  Season 2 just dropped last week.

It may not be gritty/sarcastic enough for you, but it has a ton of gay content, so you might like it.  Plus it's very good.

I felt like Season 2 was a bit harder for me to slog through.

Deadpool- Very 4th wall breaky. Its alright. Though seems a bit...I don't know. Low budget. Silly. The only two x-men thing was man. Funny moments aplenty.

It is low budget (for superhero movie standards, that is).

Game of Thrones this weekend, and 12 Monkeys season started this week.

Game of Thrones this weekend, and 12 Monkeys season started this week.

Did 12 Monkeys pick back up?
I thought the first few episodes were good then it sort of trailed off.

It's taking a new turn, more turmoil and people trying to control the machine in future. The two brothers are back working together. Seems ok, so far liking what's going on in the first episode.

Rocky was just on.  I'm going to say best on-screen kiss ever.

[celedhring]

Macbeth with Fassbender and Cotillard. It was... okay I guess? Best thing was Fassbender's performance; he's really great in it. The film in itself is good, but not really memorable for a story that has already been put on screen many times by some legendary filmmakers.

April 29.

[The Brain]

I'm obsessed with the really dark chick in orange outfit in Herod's song in Jesus Christ Superstar.

[CountDeMoney]

The black chick in the blonde wig, far left?  How progressive of you, B.

[The Brain]

Thanks!

They Had to See Paris (1929)

Will Rodgers plays an Oklahoma mechanic who strikes it rich when they find oil (black gold, Texas tea) on his land.  His wife wants to improve the prospect of their children and broaden their family's horizons so they go to Paris.  Hilarity ensues as Will runs up against Europe's upper crust, but all is resolved due to homespun wit and good old fashioned American common sense.

The director, Frank Borzage, does a decent job given the primitive nature of sound.  In some extremely unusual direction for the day the camera actually moves and there are some shots done outside a Hollywood studio.  Even so, the film lives or dies depending on whether Will is on screen (or at least the topic of discussion.)  Rodgers had made a number of mediocre silent films; sound made him a star in Hollywood (he was already a star on vaudeville, in radio and as a newspaper columnist at this point.)
