TV/Movies Megathread

From what I've heard about that movie, I'm afraid the USS Ranger is just going to have to sail on without me.

Watched Deepwater Horizon.

Poor bastards, stuck on 80s movie teenybopper ass, when Heather Locklear was on TV every week.

That sure sounds nice, but that meant sometimes enduring William Shatner's ridiculous turn as cop.

You are 0-fer-2 in just the last page of this thread, young man.

To be honest,I mostly watched this show for the so-bad-it's-good factor. 
Besides, Heather Locklear only arrived in a later season.

Thanks.

Thanks. 

Admiral Yi rooted for Union Carbide and the Exxon Valdez.  Big fan of the underdog.

There's a new series next Monday on CTV in Canada, NBC or ABC in the US.  I think...
Still Star Crossed.
It's a sequel to Romeo & Juliet.  It looks nice from the preview, so I'll at least watch the first episode to see if it's something else than some teenage show about a love triangle.

So....Twin Peaks.

I'm hoping for a bit more from the original cast. So far we got a few cameo teasers, but not sure if they're going to play a major part or not

Springtime in a Small Town (2002)

Chinese film and a remake of the 1948 Chinese film "Spring in a Small Town."  This is set in the immediate post war period, a couple has an unhappy marriage; then the husband's childhood friend comes to visit who, as it turns out, was the wife's boyfriend before the war.  Hilarity ensues.

This has a really slow pace, which takes some getting used to.  Everything is shot at a distance, usually through windows or doors, as if we're voyeurs spying on this family drama.

Didn't Romeo and Juliet both kill themselves in the play of the same name? Hard to see how their story can have a "sequel".

From the wiki page:

Following the tragic deaths of Romeo and Juliet, Rosaline Capulet is betrothed against her will to Benvolio Montague by Prince Escalus, who hopes to end the bitter feud between their families. The two set out to find a way to prevent the arranged marriage and, at the same time, prevent the destruction of their families.

I've heard of worse premises to go on...

I don't know... I'm not very familiar with english litterature

That never stopped Hollywood before.

But I did say a sequel to Romeo&Juliet, not their story

I don't know, maybe its because America's president communicates mostly by Twitter, but when I read the premise I imagined Helmholtz Watson trying to write like Shakespeare in the Brave New World.
