TV/Movies Megathread

Rick's half assedness is starting to piss me off.

What half-assedness are you referring to?  Granted, I would've dropped esse the 2nd time he pulled that peashooter on somebody, but he had no compunction dropping that machete, or leaving baseball bat to his fate.  The other two convicts were harmless:  although I might have kicked them out to exile.

Also, was that the one handed brother in the preview?

Yeah.  That's gonna be bad news right there.

I don't think I need to see The Killing to form a strong opinion about Kubrick's body of work nor to state as fact that a lot of people have seen his movies from Spartacus going forward.

No, but you at least need to see shit after Spartacus if you're going to talk smack about Kubrick.

In any case, I tire of your movie reviews, as they are bereft of a proper scholarly approach.  For somebody that went to law school, you sure as shit tossed out the concept of interpretation based on precedent.

They were harmless until he killed two guys they were living with for 10 months. you don't create a potential threat and then just leave them alone.

Ah, then on that point, I agree.  Come correct, or don't come at all.  Should've run the tables on all of them.  Except the little one, he was harmless.

he creeped me out. Seemed easy going, but survived with the crazy esse, so he has something going on.

[Josephus]

It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

IMO, this is war. I would have killed them all ASAP. You now get rid of a potential threat and you have all the food you can eat.

Naw, the only one you don't off is the guy who said he won't beg for his life - he got the pragmatism of the situation.  Sure, later he might try something, but he was the smartest and quickest to realize the rules changed...

Little mustache guy with the pharmaceutical problem would sell anyone out at a moment's notice.

[Josquius]

Yeah, the white guy seemed nice but creepy, and he was in jail, smells vaguely paedoish...but then the others didn't shank him. General rapist maybe? Something dodgy anyway.

The part I didn't get was the woman practicing surgery on the zombie bit- why did the guy with her distract the other zombies and lead them away whilst she opened the fence to get the corpse? There were just 5 of them, every dead zee helps...

[Josephus]

White guy said it was pharmaceuticals that got him jailed.

My mother is in town at the moment to visit her grandkids, so my wife and I took the opportunity to see an actual movie in an actual movie theatre.

Search reveals no mention of Seven Psycopaths on Languish.  Odd, as I'd think it would be right up the Languish alley.  The whole "movie about making a movie called Seven Psycopaths" was a bit pretentious, but surprisingly they really managed to mostly pull it off.  Highly recommended.  Written and directed by the guy who did In Bruges, and it certainly contains the same mix of quirky humour, witty dialogue, and heavy violence.

Seriously, see this movie.  Maybe the best I've seen in several years.

LOL, speaking of editing:  2011. 

Depends on what you mean.  The editing in the sense of narrative cohesion and aesthetic value is great.  If you mean pacing, that's arguable and I can cede that.  I didn't like 2001 when I was a kid, and there are adult humans whose opinion I respect who don't like the movie as a whole--although they still tend to think the last hour is good.  I think that's acceptable, but it's a shame that folks can't enjoy the silence.

I'm reasonably sure he was referring to your typo.

He was also a hardened black convict on his knees with a white cop pointing a gun in his face.  Pragmatist or not, you just don't walk that one back.

If he were a true snitch, he'd have been killed outright by Esse long ago.

But in any case, yeah, once you whack one, gotta whack them all.  Could only be trouble down the road.

Shhhh, he's in Esoteric Mode.

And people in jail never lie
