TV/Movies Megathread

Black Sails....yes or no? What say you?

definite YES!

season 1 is slow.  season 2 picks up the pace and by the end of season 3, you will be hooked and shocked!

This.  Season 1 was mediocre at best.  I think I only came back for season 2 because I thought the blonde was hot.  It definitely picked up though.

So it's a good idea to skip s1 entirely? I watched 2 episodes and decided it was shit although I agree with Yi on the T&A.

I might have made it through three before deciding the same....

I like my titties and such as much as the next guy. Well, probably more actually.

But there has to be some there there at some point in a TV show...

Look, Ma! No imagination!

God, let it die already.

What do you think will happen first:  a new total reboot for a "new generation of fans," or a Marvel crossover?

I would have said Marvel crossover, but it looks like the Aliens comics were not done by Marvel (I seem to recall that all Marvel comics supposedly share one (multidimensional?) universe).

Great. So we'll get a Christopher Nolan DC reboot?  Because dark brooding is exactly what the Alien franchise needs.

The old AvP comics were Dark Horse, IIRC. Now, Marvel has all the Star Wars DH comics, but that's probably because of their brand deal.

TBH, I would trust Marvel to at least do something entertaining with the property. As it stands, Alien: Isolation is the best thing to come from the universe since the 3rd movie.

Comic dork.

I saw Sully. Good movie, I liked it.

Also saw Magnificent 7. Pretty good movie, standard western shoot-em-up.

Watched Hail Caesar last night.  All the homages to 40's Hollywood are cute and clever, but it is painfully underplotted.  I was thinking, OK, they've laid out all this background, let's see what interesting happens next.  Then the end credits rolled.

Tilda Swinton badly miscast as twin gossip columnists.

Also watched a good chunk of Sabrina.  I remember Siskel and Ebert discussing this like it was a serious grownup movie, but I thought it was juvenile.  1980s high school movie with adults instead of teens.

Julia Ormond sure is nice looking though.

No, season 1 establishes who are the characters, in all their complexity, and you'll need it to understand/better appreciate the events that unfold in S2 and S3.

The original with Aubre Hepburn and Bogie was better.

Agree on JO though.

So skip completely, got it.

God, that movie was bad.  Who thought that remaking Casablanca with Pamela Anderson was a good idea?

[viper37]

Ghostbusters, the new one. Absolutely boring.  Reminded me of Bridesmaid.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.  Not enough fights, but still a decent movie.
