TV/Movies Megathread

Fast Five was actually pretty decent. Sometimes you just want a movie with lots of fast cars and explosions. /shrug

Decent is a very generous description.

Cant agree more. It's..well...just crap. But it is what the 16-22 or so generation likes. Where I thought Red Dawn was utter crap, guess what, the 16 yo thought it was great.

our parents probably thought the same of the original Red Dawn

I dunno.  I do hope 11B explained to the kid that the 2012 Red Dawn is a work compromised by the ultimate moral cowardice, which is to say any consideration of the People's Republic of China whatsoever that does not involve prioritizing targets, thus making it automatically one of the weakest pieces of art ever produced by humankind.

Irrelevant to her. Really, no shit.

Oh, it's a gal?  Well, it's Chris Hemworth.  Nothing to done, although I'd suggest just watching Thor again.

I would just like to say here that I have finally won the battle and have full cable in my house again.

I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH

Really?  I haven't had in a year and I'm perfectly fine.

Commie

It's been a while since I nationalized a show for the people's use.

I am gonna have some regrets if I don't get to see the new Venture Bros., but that's about it.

Who's Kevin?

Everything that's wrong with modern Germany.

I just saw Olympus Has Fallen. It was fun for awhile (it is a cross between Air Force One and Die Hard - a Die Force One, if you will), but goes seriously off the rails in the second half - particularly with the introduction of the dumbest nuclear fail safe in history. Seriously, a system that just automatically nuked New York at the start of any war would be better than the one in this movie. 2 "oh, come on, they completely stole this entire scene from Die Hard" out of 5.

If only Morgan Freeman were in the line of succession for continuity of government.

I'm pretty sure you 'murricans don't approve of atheists in government.

I'm also a bit baffled how it's always the open atheists who end up playing god in movies.

[CountDeMoney]

Who gives a shit? It's Morgan Fucking Freeman.

Who gives a shit? It's Morgan Fucking Freeman.

I remember how Josiah Bartlett was getting 70%+ in approval ratings despite being a rampaging liberal. You'll vote for anybody who looks good on tv and hasn't said or done anything of consequence.

[CountDeMoney]

Josiah Bartlett was a badass.

He a pretty terrible President in the movie (actually Speaker of the House, though he moves up to acting President for awhile). Spoilers: [spoiler]After North Korean terrorists take over the White House and take the President hostage, Freeman gives in to the terrorist's demands and orders US forces to leave South Korea. I guess we do negotiate with terrorists after all.[/spoiler]

[Eddie Teach]

I thought he was President in a movie about earth getting hit by an asteroid?

[katmai]

He can't be a president in more than one movie? You and your damn quotas.
