TV/Movies Megathread

[Razgovory]

I'm enjoying History's The Men Who Built America.

Henry Frick.

Yeah, I saw some of that.  There must have been some big mix up, cause it's about actual history as oppose to people looking for Bigfoot.

Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire a.k.a

The Tall Blond Man with a Black Shoe
or
Follow that guy with one black shoe

Hilarious French spy comedy of the burlesque kind from the '70s. One of my childhood faves, seen on the big screen at last
Rival secret factions of French secret services use a hapless violonist as a pawn in their cloak and dagger activities.

The  famous Pan Flute theme by Cosma and Zamfir from the movie

Sounds good, I shall have to catch it.

I'm getting the feeling History might be shifting their programming again.

Tom Hanks is in the American remake, The Man With One Red Shoe, back when he did comedy in his post-Bosom Buddies era.  It's not bad.  Some big names in it.
Jim Belushi is actually pretty fucking funny in it, as his paranoid buddy who keeps tripping over the bodies.

When one of your employees viciously tries to assassinate you in your own office maybe you're not the best example to follow.

Yeah.  History Channel is nearly as bad as The Learning Channel when it comes to quality programming.  But they do occasionally score a hit.

Now, this Chevalier tempête is too old for my generations (French '60s show) and did not have re-run in the '80s like Le Grand Blond which is probably why I never heard of it. Would it be more popular in the UK than in France?

As for the US remake of a French movie (True Lies notwithstanding), even if it's better than say a prequel such as Episode I, I'll pass...

Didn't say it was.  So save your condescending Eurosnottiness, you unwashed mucus fuck.

Did not say it was "Not bad" or  "it's not even better than a prequel such as Episode I" ? 
If so , don't be so bad on Hollywood and/or  yourself, self-hatred is so European lefty

If you fucking showed up more often, you would know that my distaste of Hollywood remakes of European films is exceeded only by my distaste of Europeans. 

Now go find some Jew kids to throw rocks at or something.

Really ?

I shall have to try and see that.

Hear you go, as it appeared on UK tv:

At least it was something historical and in those pre-PC kids TV days, had lots of fighting and military stuff.

How to Steal a Million- Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole steal her father's sculpture to keep him from being exposed as a forger. It was entertaining.

Haywire- Female superspy kicks butt and takes down the guys who tried to burn her. Also entertaining. Dunno if this was mentioned before, but Antonio Banderas + beard = Saddam Hussein.
