And that is with them shooting a new 40 min ending to the film :lol:
Well, they brough in Lindelof, so it's not like another outcome was possible.
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I met a young black woman from Minnesota who sound just like the people in Fargo.

She told me I had the strongest accent she'd ever heard! :D

WWZ was pleasingly bleak, though they fucked up the ending.

And that is with them shooting a new 40 min ending to the film :lol:

That is with Damon Lindelof being responsible.  Has he written a good ending to date?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

World War Z, good movie, liked it a lot. But even knowing they would screw up the book, I am pissed at how it ended, that was not even close. We may see a WWZ II.

How did they explain the obvious breaking of various laws of physics and human kinesiology with the whole Zombie Wave Thingy in the trailers?

Dude, they're zombies.  They already violate the laws of physics.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Skyfall <_<, what a pile of shit. When are they changing up the franchise? None of Craig's Bonds has been any good and Eva Green the only memorable Bond girl. And what was up with the new Q? Aren't they 20 years late with that joke? Generally the whole thing was riddled with boring cliches about old > new, in the end I rooted for Bardem to shoot M. Speaking of Bardem, he is a fucking chameleon, wow.

:rolleyes:

Zombies or no zombies, the human body can only do so much in this universe.  Trailers looked like pooh.

There was a surprisingly positive review for World War Z in the New Yorker, praising it as the best action flick in years.

The season finale of Veep was excellent, very good second season. Have they signed on for a 3rd?
