Bad Santa.  Fucked up, but still funny. 

PDH!

Looks cool, and I can actually hear what they are saying now.  Sounds like they fixed the problem with all the whispering in the first movie.

So I just came back from seeing Napoleon. I'm glad I went. Yeah, it's not a perfect movie, and I can do without Josephine all together, but otherwise it's OK. A good 3 out of 5. The battle scenes are good, especially Austerlitz and Waterloo where [sp] Napoleon loses [/sp] . The movie felt rushed, they tried to get a lot in, and in so doing, didn't really explain too much. I can see a casual viewer being lost from the get go.
But it was fine.

I found the idea of Napoleon riding into battle swinging his sword kind of hilarious.

But yeah a decent movie. I hoped it would be great and get people excited and interested in Napoleon, but I don't think that movie is going to do that.

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

The scenario looks a bit ridiculous (Texas and California alliance? :D). But it's Alex Garland, I've got season tickets for anything he does and I'm sure everything will make sense somehow (or that it won't matter that it doesn't).

Josquius

I guess Texas-California helps show "The government turned baaaad" to both sides rather than just being a offend half the country piece?
At least that's what I'm guessing is the plot?

That was my first reaction too.

Then I figured, if they made it a South-Carolina-Texas alliance, it might hit too close to home for comfort and some people would scream bloody murder about giving wrong ideas to the wrong people.

I can't say I was impressed by Ex Machina, way too predictable, and I didn't like Annihilation.
Dredd was awesome though.

I think it's more of a marketing alliance. If you have Californian and Texan stereotypes in the film, you have a decent chance of appealing to most demographics in the US domestic market.

Syt

Cheers, Season 3, the first 3 episodes. AKA the ones where Frasier joins the cast.

He's so young. :weep: I mentioned before that I didn't watch Cheers much previously, and I know that his character on that show and on Frasier has some differences (with retcons/discrepancies that they handwaved away in Frasier). But I love that his eloquence is firmly established right from the start. :lol:

Also, Christopher Lloyd is on the double episode that ends Season 2.

So, this is him in 1984:



And a year later in 1985:



I never realized he was made to look older(?) in Back to the Future? :unsure:  :hmm:  :lol:
