TV/Movies Megathread

[CountDeMoney]

I said the "best goddamned thing", not the "only goddamned thing."

And since when were you deputized with The Taste Police, bitch?

It read like something BB or Spiess would say. I didn't expect you to be so conventional. 

  I prefer Hulu for my Criterion/foreign fixes. 
Netflix has a decent English TV selection, but Hulu has more overseas variety, with French, Korean and Bollywood selections.

But I do need several Star Trek TOS episodes a week.

Watched Warrior this AM.  A lot more than an MMA fight flick, a suprisingly sensitive drama.  Very well done, in the vein The Wrestler was very well done.
Joel Edgarton, Tom Hardy and Nick Nolte are excellent.

OMFG I've had that movie out from Netflix for one year and three months.  Jesus, I'd forgotten.

Watching the Legion of Super-Heroes cartoon again.  Man, what a great show.

And basically the best reimagining of Brainiac ever.  I really, really wish they'd rebooted the Legion along these lines in the New 52 debacle, but, no, Paul Levitz is still alive, so he gets to do whatever he wants FOREVER no matter how few people give a shit.

(That said, and this is more comics related, the Secret Origins miniseries is actually about 1000 times more readable and interesting than Levitz' actual LoSH comic.)

Amazing how the Netflix police don't seem to care about stuff like that.
You should watch it.

No Cosmic Boy = unwatchable.

I would never say that.

Each and every one of the shows Seedy mentioned are not on Netflix Canada.

Studio fucked it's marketing, should have a bigger film, very good.

At least Nolte got a deserved Oscar nomination.

Had a friend who worked on it in casting.

I'll admit, it was a fucking tearjerker at the end.

Cos is in it.  He's voiced by Wesley Crusher.  I actually sort of liked how he was off doing leader/PR shit for most of the first season, which led to a disconnect with the regulars who were mainly centered around Earth.

And anyway, Cos is only like my sixth or seventh favorite Legionnaire anyway.  Now, what sucks is that there's hardly any Ultra Boy, and no Mon-El whatsoever.  Particularly with the latter, I'd have been interested to see how the writers played him, considering how dark they went with Brainiac 5.  I imagine he probably would've showed up in a prospective season 3.  Shame it got cancelled.  As far as the TV Legion universe goes, Nemesis Kid is forever a good guy, and actually really nice.

Well, I've basically bought it like six times at this point.

You should watch it.

Aronofsky = yes.

Oh man, Clint Eastwood's Firefox is on Encore.  Talk about a Cold War star-spangled jizzfest before its time.

What a great movie, and with all your favorite '80s baddies...Kenneth Colley, Klaus Löwitsch, Eugene Lipinksi, Wolf Kahler, and my all-time personal fave-rave Russkie, Stefan Schnabel.
The only one missing would've been Steven Berkoff, making it a complete flush.

Also, parts of it were filmed in Vienna.
