Ide might have more success watching movies made in Brazil or Indonesia.

The Thick Of It, a fantastic British satire about politics, is back and it is spectacular. Also check out the related film, In The Loop.

Also Veep.

Despite being in opposition, Malcolm still has all the best lines:

"What the fuck is this? Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Cunt?"

"We're out in the middle of the ocean with our own Ellen MacArthur crying and sobbing. Enough. Over the side she goes. She's going to sleep with the fishes – or at least witter at them until they lose the fucking will to live."

"You are not a grandee, you're a fucking blandee. No one knew what the fuck you stood for. Political fucking mist. No substance, no weight. You've got all the charm of a rotting teddy bear by a graveside. By the way, women fucking hate you. I can show you the polling. They think you come across like a jittery mother at a wedding. The best thing you ever did in your flatlining non-leadership was call for an inquiry because that will fuck the government and it will fuck you. So now, please, fuck off back to your home, you headless frump, and prepare for your column in Grazia."

"These phones are amazing, aren't they? I've got an application that can throw grenades into people's dreams."

Guess Rick doesn't like peaches.

that makes more sense

Also, of they're all infected anyway what's with all the amputations? Gonna get doubly infected?  Or just I guess if something dead takes a bite out of you normal infection is a worry too.

Yeah, really good.

I figured it was just a chance to stave off the infection bite.  You know the infection works slowly, maybe but chopping off the leg it'd work similar to stemming poison.  We'll see.

new Walking dead- yey. Though what the hell is that black lady's sword made of?  Its unfeasibly sharp and durable.

Reposted from BGG, because it's bugging me now too:

You know those vending machines back in the day that would dispense a paper cup out of a chute into a little transparent enclosure, and shoot hot or cold beverages into it?

There was a TV show with an intro sequence which ended with a closeup shot of one of these vending machined malfunctioning. Maybe with the liquid shooting out and then a cup dropping down later.

The reason I think it was an intro is because I think I saw it repeatedly as a kid.

What was the TV show?

I'm going crazy trying to remember.

I like The Thick Of It way more than Veep, but I feel like a snotty anglophile when I say that. 

In The Loop might be my favorite movie of the last ten years, by the way. "Difficult difficult lemon difficult."

Looked to me like a badass samurai sword.  Sure as hell beats a fireplace poker, like my man Dawg is using.

Have to admit, I was impressed with the MagLite-turned-into-a-suppressor.

Meh, when they were cleaning the prison yard, I saw a head come off with a machete.  But then, maybe zombie ness makes the body structure a little weaker.

So Walking Dead kicked serious ratings ass, becoming the highest rated season premiere this fall, yes better tahn alll the big network shows.

Sunday night's third season premiere of The Walking Dead delivered a huge 10.9 million viewers for its first telecast. But what's really impressive is the show's adults 18-49 demographic rating of a 5.8.

That's stunning.

The closest broadcast has gotten this fall to that number is a Modern Family season premiere that pulled a 5.5 (all these are apples-to-apples next-day ratings, not including DVR). Football has delivered bigger numbers ... but that's sports and we're talking entertainment programming. And AMC accomplished this with an extra disadvantage — not having a major distributor, Dish Network, on board due to its carriage contract dispute (imagine how many more viewers the episode might have had with Dish on board).

[Eddie Teach]

I find it hard to believe nobody's doing better than 11 million viewers. ER used to pull 30, American Idol mid-20s, heck even Lost had around 15.
