TV/Movies Megathread

[Duque de Bragança]

For decades, do not recall Vader ever saying "Noooo!" when he was tossing the Emperor over the railing in ROTJ. 

it's hard to recall something that wasn't there

the special effects are nice, but the edits, it's something I would have put in the extras.

The new special effects don't fit in, it's like some plastic touch in a vintage car.
Practical special effects age better; the added CGI is already dated.

I really enjoyed this season of Last Kingdom 

Indeed.

[MadImmortalMan]

Me and Seedy will pray for you.

I'll agree that the intros and breaks aren't very good, but they've always sucked.  All of the mads are dull/annoying rather than funny, and Day and Oswalt live down to that expectation.  The good bits are in the movies.

Some of the movies they've picked were so bad they weren't even good to make fun of. The one where Mark Hamill showed up in the middle was that way. I think some of them were pretty good though.

Watched Ben Affleck's second autistic superhero movie of 2016. It's a bit better than the first, but still pretty ridiculous.

[CountDeMoney]

There was a second one?

[Ed Anger]

London has Fallen. Lots of manly killing of Brits and towelheads. I liked it.

They see me trollin'.

Watched Ghostwriter the other night.  Ewan McGregor ghostwrites the memoirs of a thinly disguised Tony Blair.  There is something about the Iraq War that makes script writers go out of their fucking head.  In this story he's a CIA agent, recruited and run by a professor who consulted for Haliburton.

[Eddie Teach]

There was a second one?

Daredevil, but that wasn't 2016.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is great. Fantastic character development, best of any Marvel film.

[Admiral Yi]

Most of Sully.  Well made, not terribly dramatic or tense.  That big public hearing in a hangar seems like a weird way to conduct an investigation.

[celedhring]

There was a second one?

The Accountant.

[Josephus]

Hearing good things on Brit cop show Line of Duty. Anyone watch it?

[Josquius]

Captain Phillips - not what I expected. The Somalis didn't have subs. Amusing nonetheless.

Also the tv series from last year about Queen Victoria.... It's surprisingly good.

First 2 eps of American Gods.... Wtf.
