TV/Movies Megathread

I liked Thin Red Line.

2 hour Mad Men on tonight. The killing next Sunday. Game of Thrones soon. Sunday's are getting busy.

Minority Report: not bad

Minority Report: not bad

Not bad?  It was awesomeness.  An excellent chaser, and a great example of the question of law enforcement or scientific ethics in film.

I liked it too, although the ending was a little weak.  A nice, dark, dystopian finish would have fit the movie as a whole much better.

Deviated a little from the original short story. Again, I would recommend it.

Then that would've eliminated the triumph of the human spirit and due process over the non-ethical application of blind science.  It was no Gattaca and certainly no Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, but it was a decent treatment on the concept of science applied for society's benefit simply for the sake of science, particularly from a legal/law enforcement/civil liberties perspective.

Could've been much better in this regard, but it is a decent conversation-starter on the topic.

Well, I suppose if you want the human spirit to triumph...

I liked Thin Red Line.

Then you are either gay or a flipican.

Watching Homeland on Channel 4 week by week.  Gets better and better.  I like not watching massive binges which is how I normally go for TV shows (sat through 4 hours of Breaking Bad at the weekend  ).

Watched the Mad Men season opener last night. 

Did the red headed hottie really put on 300 pounds or is she swaddled in pillows?

[Josephus]

I'm thinking it's pillows.

Europeans.

[Razgovory]

My guess was hostile aliens or evil robots, but that works as well.
