TV/Movies Megathread

The violent proletarian revolution that's supposed to be occurring is less important than the fact it's snowing, and that's a kind of failure.

Aside from the career criminals and the gangs the revolution didn't seem to have any widespread support.

Correct and this makes sense since Bane is just using populist rhetoric as a fig leaf to distract Gotham and the outside world from his master plan to destroy Gotham.

The only revolution happening in Gotham was that of the criminal elite taking the place of the previous elite. There was nothing popular or proletarian about it.

So,  Breaking Bad ends the series on a cliff hanger and its not going to start again until next summer. GAHHHHHHHHH.
Wonder how they'll squirm out of that one. Quite sloppy from Walter.

Watched "How To Train Your Dragon" last night.

It was fucking awesome, one of the best animated films of the last decade.

They should make a sequel where the Vikings use their dragons to conquer England.

If Vikings gained access to trained Dragons, what do you think they'd do with them?

[Josquius]

Conquer Frankia, Rome, Byzantium and other places that were out of their league.

No shit they did pretty well in england without dragons.

If Vikings gained access to trained Dragons, what do you think they'd do with them?

1.  There's no reason to believe that there is an England in their world.
2.  They aren't really very Vikingly, except in cosmetic terms.

but even more importantly, it's a fucking kids movie.  For the main character to go around burning monks and raping nuns would make a very poor children's movie.  The first two parts of your post were reasonable, but the third was abysmally stupid.

Why so serious?

[Darth Wagtaros]

The Varangian Guard would have been that much more badass.

[Neil]

Why so serious?

Because I am serious.

Ive been watching a Japanese TV series called Japanese that the Japanese dont know.
It is actually good. Unlike most trash the Japanese make.
Its about a school for foreigners learning Japanese in Japan. It is amusing, though kinda weird that they always make such elementary mistakes yet speak Japanese fluently otherwise.... Kinda backwards.

This is how the whole series should have ended, would have been awesome.

Probably use them as models for boat figureheads.
