Saw an ad for the new Magnificent Seven movie. It dawned on me that one is a remake of a remake. Hollywood is outdoing itself. :hmm:

I bitched about that two weeks ago already.  Try to keep up, Franco.

No, it's a book adaptation.

If we go that route, there's like 3629848 Sherlock Holmes films out there.

:yes: The latest Ben-Hur has nothing to do with any earlier movies.

It's not really that. Rather than it's one of the most risk adverse industries out there, so built-in audiences, brand recognition and tried-and-true formulas are the only game in town.

So it looks like they're making a superhero movie about Stan lee. We've hit peak superhero movie, it's all downhill from here

End Of Watch. It was on TV and I happened to start watching, ironically enough. I really liked it. [spoiler]Ending could have been a bit better.[/spoiler]

Watching Friday Night Lights for the first time. In season 1 right now. I want to be like Coach Taylor when I grow up.  :cry:

The TV series wasn't half bad, actually.

I poo-poohed it years ago when it was on television. I'm having a great time with it so far now. Lotta good eye candy on it too  ;)

The one chick is so ridiculously hot, and absolutely not even remotely believable as a high school student.

Yeah there are a couple of them that are ridiculously hot and definitely can't pull off looking like high school students but it doesn't really matter to me. Still a decent show with notable eye candy  :D

The Michael Mann film borrows a lot from the silent movie in regards to changes from the original source material.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

1/3 movie, 1/3 book and 1/3 Michael Mann from what I remember.
