TV/Movies Megathread

Tree of Life was painful to sit through.  I pretended to like it OK for sociability reasons, but I really thought it was dreck.

I did that for The Fountain.  I lasted ten minutes of listening to a girl describe its Buddhist themes before I cracked and just started swearing about it 

I was also enraged because as far as I can see the film's not that Buddhist

Thin Red Line was marketed as "SPR in the Pacific with all star cast" over here. Hence, when I went to see it at the theater I felt disappointed. A few years later it was on tv and I watched it again and really liked it this time. Since then it's become one of my favority movies as well.

I remember going to see The Fountain, thinking from the trailers that it might be a kinda cool, lost-in-times sort of thing.  It was more like watching a bad acid trip.

I had to google to find out what spr means. That fucking movie doesn't deserve a TLA.

That movie was fucked up. I just watched it to perv Rachel Weisz.

Ugh.  I never finished that one.  Can't remember what happened.  Got bored, or hungry or the house caught on fire or something.  I think it was just boring.

Great soundtrack though.

[The Brain]

Thin Red Line is so incredibly boring that no person can ever have finished it. Growling cartoonish officer leads a collection of soldier-philosophers who manage to cobble together the profound message "war is hell".

[Admiral Yi]

Agreed.  OMG, I never realized soldiers get scared in combat!  I need two hours of that for the message to sink in.

Just saw Sucker Punch.  Was OK I guess.  The way Seedy was rubbing his pecker raw I thought the girls would be a little hotter.

[Eddie Teach]

Main girl was super hot.

Ponytails and Vulcan miniguns do it for me.  That's my thing.

The much anticipated 'Battlestar Galactica' spin off 'Blood & Chrome' will not be coming to Syfy as a TV show – but hope for the series is not lost yet.

After receiving over 100,000 views in 24 hours, a leaked trailer for Syfy's new space drama Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome has eager BSG fans chomping at the bit for the series to air. Unfortunately, after much deliberation, Syfy has decided not to air the Battlestar Galactica prequel as a regular series – but there is still hope for a TV movie and a digital series.

Syfy is just allergic to money aren't they.

I think they're just allergic to anything SciFi-related.

It is a beautiful movie and one of my all-time faves as well.  The historitards despise it, though.  But they're the same idiots that think Apocalypse Now is about the Vietnam War, too.

It came out right after Saving Private Ryan, so it was unfairly compared to that. SPR was a good movie in its own right, but it was nice having a movie like The Thin Red Line where its themes weren't spoon-fed to the audience.

WUT I HALF TO THINK AT THE MOVIES WTF IF THIS CRAP

Yeah, my buddy in the Army is such a Historitard about the South Pacific, he tosses Thin Red Line in with fucking Windtalkers and Pearl Harbor.  Can't win that debate with him at all.

Worst adaptation of a James Jones novel.  Ever.

Yeah.  It's got moments where it's very pretty too.
