TV/Movies Megathread

The Aston Martin indicates the existence of some kind of stable time loop.

The Aston Martin indicates branding for English-made automobiles in an English-based movie franchise.
Remember when they used BMW?  Didn't go over too well in a nation that still remembers the Blitz.

Stable time loop. 

Exploding pen?

Newest trailer for Man of Steel.

I certainly hope it's better than that atrocious one a couple years ago.


The Lone Ranger trailers look awesome, and Johnny Depp looks like a badass Tonto;  I hope Disney doesn't fuck it all up.

A Royal Affair.

Danish period piece.  Rigorous in its morals and politics.  Doesn't give in to the easy impulse of a romantic story of heaving bodices, or of an enlightened liberal hero.  Both of those versions aren't sustained in the film which is more complex and difficult.  Brilliant.  Well-shot.  Mads Mikkelsen and Alicia Vikander are particularly strong.

They will, they will rename it something bad, like "The Indian and that Masked Guy" to ensure a box-office flop

First Pacific Rim trailer out. I have to admit, I am going a bit Timmy over this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vKz7WnU83E. Though the GLaDOS voice is a bit odd.

Speaking of Tarantino.

Reservoir Dogs is 20 years old.

I feel old.

Pfft.  I remember watching Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory in the theater.  Now that's a big steaming scoop of some old right there.  AND BY GOLLY WE LIKED IT

My Dad's favorite movie.

Hate to see the Air Boss on that carrier.  WTF IS THAT DOING ON MY DECK

Oh man, I was just reading how Dwight Yoakam was originally slated to play Butch Cavendish, but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts and was replaced by William Fichtner.
That would've been awesome.

Outrageous, Jonathon Kent would never say that!

Queen of Versailles- Interesting and very well timed documentary. Starts being about a rich couple boasting of their life style and generally being very tacky as they built a recreation of the palace of versailles in the US....then the financial crisis pops up and  timeshare company they got their millions from goes to pot. In many ways they try to continue their wealthy life style but the cracks can be seen.

I once sang karaoke with the guy who plays king in that movie, excellent performer even back then. He doesn't hold his liquor very well though, but a fun guy.

Anybody watching The Hobbit this weekend? I'm getting tickets today for Saturday night.
