TV/Movies Megathread

Just watched the Community Civil War episode. 

Brilliant (doubly so, because apparently the format was chosen to save budget - re-using props from the previous week, using stills etc.) and getting Keith David for narration was the cherry on top.

Though now I will have Ashokan Farewell stuck in my head again for days by association.

Can't think of a worse trailer I've seen recently than this:

Yet - I am intrigued by Christopher Walken's Irish accent and, bafflingly given that he's from County Down, by Jamie Dornan's Irish accent

Which guy is the audience supposed to root for?

First episode of new seris of His Dark Materials

Finally it's really good

[Eddie Teach]

Paranormal. Egyptian series. Man of science goes up against demons, mummies and ghosts. I liked it.

In a display of weakness I went and picked up the yank remake of Utopia, again. 

It's a straighter, aesthetically darker, and less humorous version of the British original, so in short it's the same show, except without those things that made the original show so great. It's quirky enough as to be quite watchable (I mean, the "comic book holds the keys to the apocalypse" hook is just too fun), but I'm urged to just rewatch the original.

What's fantastically creepy is how timely it feels, since they played up the plague aspect of the original.

Watched "Accident" a 1960s movie from the Josep Losey - Dirk Bogarde duet, with a script by Harold Pinter. I have said this and I'll say it again: for some weird cultural reason brits always make the best - and most twisted - infidelity movies. 

The scene were Bogarde (who's a married uni professor) returns home to catch one of his colleagues having sex with the pupil Bogarde desires, and then he proceeds to calmly make himself an omelette is how I expect any Brit would behave in front of such a situation

Bordello of Blood. Again. Still good.

Watched the interview with Gillian Anderson and Olivia Colman on Colbert. Having watched Peep Show this year it's a really weird disconnect to see Colman in a clip as Her Majesty.

British omelette seems like a twist to bring horror movie tropes.

Did anyone remember that Elvira was on the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, and apparently Luigi became a mummy?

[Josquius]

I have zero memory of this show at all. I only remember a mario cartoon.

It was shown as part of the show.
