TV/Movies Megathread

Batman rises was to me the weakest of the lot. Bogged down by implausible plot points and really nonsensical villain plots. Plus despite lasting 3 hours, some of the character stuff is really way too rushed (Wayne's romantic angle with Cotillard's character is particularly ridiculous), since there are like 1000000000000 secondary characters and we are supposed to care about all of them in some way.

It seemed like they took the No Man's Land plot and made it stupider than it was in the comics, along with Bane and Ra's al Ghul being completely screwed up as believable menacing villains.

Wow. Dark Knight Rises was a fine movie. Not OMG ÜBER GREAT but a decent flick. You guys are either insane comic book nerds or just grumpy old men picking at small holes in an otherwise fine production.

Or the movie may generally suck and you are dead wrong.  When in doubt go with option c.

Negatron, Batman.

[Eddie Teach]

The movie was pretty cool. No Dark Knight, but still worth watching.

I'm gonna wait until Monday to see Lincoln.  Less idiots at the 10:30am showing.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes- Pretty great. Some niggles bothered me though. The apes all seem immune to broken glass for instance. And the 'regular' apes just seem too smart...

Been catching up on the last few episodes of Treme.

Very low-key show but it packs a lot.

Sweet Jeebus.  I was going to post something profound, but I fucking forgot it.  Also, Going Postal is the greatest Discworld adaptation.

True.  I hope Making Money is at least as good. Hogfather was great too.
