TV/Movies Megathread

Watched Search Party.  The two principles from Silicon Valley team up with the very drunk chick from Superbad and some nobody to have adventures in Mexico and elsewhere.  Many hijinks ensue.  Trying to be a Hangover ripoff.  It doesn't suck, but the only things good about it are the work love interest's red skirt and the hott junkie from Breaking Bad in her underwear.

Season of the Witch is on TV. It's kind of like The Seventh Seal...

[Josquius]

This "Travellers" series is really rather good

The two principles from Silicon Valley

[Admiral Yi]

Crazy cat lady is spelling Nazi.  Stop the presses!

[CountDeMoney]

You know better.

[garbon]

Yeah, there are no principles in Silicon Valley.

Rewatched most of Inception last night.  Not as mind blowing as I remember.  And tough as hell to make out what Ken Wasabe is saying.

The OA. Strange but I liked it.

I liked it but [spoiler]I kinda feel like I could have had the initial episodes move faster...and with significant more character development. Most of the 5's backstories just felt like they were added because you had to have something about those individuals. Also, I'm not sure I understand why Rachel was even a character.[/spoiler]

I tried watching OA but couldn't get past the first episode. Maybe I'll try again later.

For the past few weeks, I've seen posters on tram stops for this movie:



I find it funny how you can guess a script off a poster.

Daughter has boyfriend, daddy hates him. This leads to hijinks and comedic situations based on their dislike for each other, their disparate personalities, and one or two character quirks that irritate the other. There will be an escalation towards an incident which leads to a climax where father and boyfriend come to like each other. The End.

[celedhring]

Father is revealed to secretly run a drug cartel and has idiot boyfriend mowed down by Mexican hitmen. The End.

For the past few weeks, I've seen posters on tram stops for this movie:

The reviews have been bad for this one.  Plus, for the formula to work, we have to like the boyfriend, and from the trailers, he seems like a jerk that nobody would want their daughter involved with (except for the fact that he's supposed to be really wealthy, which just takes away on of the main clichés that this type of story uses to get us sympathetic to the boyfriend in the first place).

[The Brain]

Of course they had to cast a white guy as the boyfriend. Raciss.

Sidney Poitier is too old for the part.
