TV/Movies Megathread

War Horse. Good movie but depressing as hell.

That's why I refused to see it in theaters.  I still cry at animal movies.

YEAH FUCK YOU ALL TOO LIKE YOU DONT

Relatively few horses die, if it makes you feel any better. Seems like the horse is cursed though

*edit* as for movies making you cry, old yeller is the only movie to ever make me cry

My problem is I am too emotional.

The play is stunning.  I wept.

Although it's annoying because it's childrens' theatre.  And whenever I go to a play aimed at kids they're fine and I will invariably end up an emotional wreck.  It happened with the adaptation of 'His Dark Materials' too

As a total aside this is the memorial for animals in war:


It's one of my favourite war memorials.

I like the way the brits do the Dickin Medal.

We like animals a lot.  The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children was founded 15 years after, and as a subsidiary of, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Pity it's in an odd place, a traffic island in Park Lane; they should have put it in Hyde Park and pushed aside some of the Diana stuff if necessary.

And don't think I don't appreciate that.

L'Âge des ténèbres (English: Days of Darkness, also known as The Age of Ignorance, accurately translated as The Dark Ages) on the Sundance Channel.  Apparently by the same director who did The Decline of the American Empire and The Barbarian Invasions.  I... actually really enjoyed it.  I had no idea what it was going into it, and still am not sure I know going out of it, but it was a nice little Canuckistani/Quebecois flick.  Mayhap I shall hunt down the other parts of the theoretical trilogy.

The Decline of the American Empire was a good movie for the 80s.  Over-rated, but good nonetheless.
Haven't seen The Barbarian Invasions, too close to truth.

Apparently the first two are much more related to each other in terms of cast and characters.  The 3rd one that I saw has one character from the first two flicks and only a minor part at that or something.  I found it to be pretty spot on for society within a few years, especially when you consider it is already almost 5 years since it was made.

The Barbarian Invasions is good.

I've never seen The Decline of the American Empire.  Was it: predictive?
