TV/Movies Megathread

Aliens is on.  Still an awesome action flick after all these years.

I remember seeing it in the theater the very night it first came out, it was packed;  the audience collectively applauded when Burke bought it.

I can't remember the last time I heard an audience applaud in a movie, I think that might've been it. 
For you young people and your disassociated, texting, overdiagnosed Assburger's culture, that's what people used to do in movie theaters instead of talking on the phone.

Applauding a movie is about as effective as cumming on your hard drive.

I thought it was too small a story for a feature movie,

Have you ever talked to anybody that was around when it happened?  Too small a story?  The networks were dumping regular programming for extended coverage of it. It was national fucking crisis for 3 days. Too small a fucking story?

MTV and 9/11 has broken your brain, kid.

Your generation is broken.  I expect nothing less from your over-saturated, tech-addled brains.

The last time I heard applaiuse...jam packed opening night when I first saw "Independence Day".

And Jeff Goldblum deserved it.

Picked up the "Christopher Nolan Director's Collection" of BDDs today.  $35 for Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, Dark Knight, and Inception.  Really good deal, even if Batman Begins is actually in my house.  But my question is why no Prestige?  Seriously, easily his best film, where the fuck is it?

Probably because The Prestige isn't distributed by Warner Bros, like the others.

[Ideologue]

Ah so.  That's fair, I guess.

That's a movie that shouldn't work but, damn, does it.

[CountDeMoney]

The original version of Insomnia was much better, though.

[Ideologue]

Really?  But it's all ludefisky.

Hey, wait a minute--whatever happened to Norgy?

You're more than welcome to offer your incorrect opinion about what is, then, Edward.

(I will concede Memento was likely the most technically challenging.)

  People clapped at the end of Taken in the theater I went to.  Most of them were my age and not fossils that are so angsty and displeased with themselves that they think the generation after them is the Worst.  Period.  Generation.  Period.  Ever. Period.

The Dark Knight. Or Inception. Heck, even Memento. I can barely remember The Prestige, other than the silly "twist".
