TV/Movies Megathread

[Tonitrus]

The rumor mill is running hard that someone from the prison group is gonna die in the next episode.

[Ed Anger]

And a 6 inch subway sub over there is nearly 5 pounds. So calm down there Norma Rae.

The last time I went (3 hours ago). It was £3 and that included a drink and a packet of crisps. OTOH that meatball sandwich is fucking messy and I think it's ruined a perfectly good shirt.

I got ripped off.

You gotta tell them to go light on the sauce.

Probably one of the in-mates.  I think Carol's likely, too.  I just hope they reveal who it is that's skulking around outside the prison.

Noticed that last week too, huh.  At first I thought it might've been Merle, but that one-handed asshole showed up with the Guv.

I gotta say I appreciate their Britishisms.  "Basket" for "cart."  "Dispatched" for shipped.  "Royal Mail" for "UPS."  Delightfully quaint.

I don't think Royal Mail = UPS

I do wonder how it actually gets to my house.  Obviously Royal Mail makes no deliveries to Columbia SC.  I assume it goes to a local parcel service, perhaps the USPS, who get paid by the RM and then finish the job?  Guess I'll find out next Monday when my monsters come.

Actually, makes me feel bad in a green sort of way.  Considering this is entirely subterfuge brought on by an easily-circumventible price difference that Amazon must know about and not care about, I wish they'd save the carbon footprint and just ship a copy already in the U.S. rather than a copy that was shipped from either printers and packagers in the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere or similar enterprises in America (maybe Universal still makes this shit here) to the U.K., and is now being shipped back across either by boat or, more terribly from a greenhouse gas perspective, a jet.

Or eat it nude.

Read the book. I believe a lot of people will.


Return to Oz. Creepy as fuck.

On that Zombie show, what is the deal with the aquariums?

He's a cable news addict.

It's always an aircraft, I've shipped thousands of parcels across the atlantic and they invariably take no more than 5-7 working days; save of course the DVD I sent to you and UPS returned it as it didn't have a surname on it.

Watched the Top Gear special on 50 years of Bond cars, I was good and had a nice appropriate top gear 'build' in it.

Is that what happened to that?

Fwiw, I found my copy at my dad's house, lost in it in the move, then tamasified it when I found it on Youtube a month or so ago.  Still, I want you to know I appreciated it.

I wonder how Madonna and Prince get mail.

Just got, only a few minutes ago, all the Tim Burton stuff (twelve in all), Blade Runner, Four Rooms (in anticipation of the Tarantino set, sadly no BD release of this underrated gem of an anthology), and the newer Cinematic Titanic piece, Rattlers.  Mel Brooks set tomorrow or thenabouts, Monsters on Monday.  Squee.  Also, while enthusiastic and without regrets, I recognize that I'm getting pretty spendthrifty.  So I'm toning it down on the purchases.

Except for the Tarantino set.

And the Buster Keaton set that comes out in December.  But that's for my pop.  I'm getting it instead of the Akira Kurosawa birthday centennial thing because it turns out my dad already has 21 out of the 25 movies in that collection but only six Buster Keaton films, and of course not in HD.

And Strangers on a Train, also for my dad, because even though he has about 30 Hitchcock movies, somehow he's missing that too.  WTF.

Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire a.k.a

The Tall Blond Man with a Black Shoe
or
Follow that guy with one black shoe

Hilarious French spy comedy of the burlesque kind from the '70s. One of my childhood faves, seen on the big screen at last
Rival secret factions of French secret services use a hapless violonist as a pawn in their cloak and dagger activities.
