TV/Movies Megathread

[Grey Fox]

Agree about Boardwalk. It's become a bit of a struggle to sit through.

They need to drop the stories not directly involving Nuchy. Jimmy's mom, Capone, Luciano. Rosetti vs Thompson is what we want to see.

[Josephus]

Although the Jimmy's mom stories tend to have nudity.

[Ed Anger]

I think I'll watch The final countdown before the results.

[CountDeMoney]

I'm in my third year of my Terps dynasty in NCAA 2013.  I live for recruiting.

I think I'll watch The final countdown before the results.

Watched it a couple of weeks ago, CAG FTW.

Synecdoche, New York. Fascinating, bizarre, amusing, incoherent, at times beautiful. I do think it would've probably been better if Kaufman had handed it off to another director, or at least had a good editor/producer/co-director hash things out with him; it's no Eternal Sunshine. But definitely worth a watch if you've enjoyed his films in the past.

Thor.  I enjoyed it a lot.  Possibly the most fun comic book film I've seen since Iron Man.  That one sort-of rode Robert Downey Jr's charisma.  This film is just very, very Kenneth Branagh in the best possible sense - hammy, Shakespearean and just self-aware enough to make it okay.

Tom Hiddlestone is superb.  I'll be looking for him again.  On this (and his Hollow Crown performances) he's a pretty special actor.

The only slight annoyance for me was that Chris Hemsworth maybe learned too much from Kenneth Branagh.  His accent was like Branagh's, so was his style.  And at moments he almost looked like the leading man Branagh never, ever was.

Overall though, superb.  Again the key is don't let comic book fans adapt comic books.

Edit:  Next film: Once Upon A Time In Anatolia or Kung Fu Panda 2.

[Habbaku]

This film is just very, very Kenneth Branagh

I will see it based on this statement alone.

[Phillip V]

Sustainability wasn't the issue...they could have aborted, but she was all "kill me and cut out the baby at the same time!"

And I think the Ricktatorship is about to go full-crazy-Hitler-like.

I don't think there's going to be a Ricktatorship for much longer. I wonder how they're going to feed that baby.

Maggie and Beth will be impregnated to produce breast milk.

[Phillip V]

re: the Governor, Andrea and Bad Ass Sister storyline--Andrea's being a starstruck tard.  I hope Michonne gets her fucking sword back, and soon.  If were her, I'd didi mau most riki tik the fuck outta there, with or without Andrea.

Andrea is always such an idiot, isn't she?

Andrea has man issues. She supported and fucked Shane in a car.

Being seduced by the badboy Governor should be no surprise.

You hadn't seen Thor before now?

Nope.  I've skipped a lot of comic films because some I have seen have generally been crap.  I hadn't heard any raving about Thor that drew me to watch it, so I skipped it.  I kinda wish I had done that with Captain America.

[katmai]

Iron Man
Thor
Iron Man II
Captain America
Ed Norton Hulk
would be my rankings of the individual hero films.

[Habbaku]

Haven't seen either of the Hulk films or Thor, but would agree with that assessment.

Except Hamlet, Dead Again, Henry V, Frankenstein and so forth.  No, I guess I take your meaning. 

I do need to watch Thor.

Overall though, superb.  Again the key is don't let comic book fans adapt comic books.

Except Zack Snyder.  He's 2 for 2, and it'll be a hat trick come next May.
