TV/Movies Megathread

[Admiral Yi]

Matt Damon looks like a fat boy in the Elysium trailers.  Figure that's the weight he put on to play Liberace's bum boy?

Watched a Brit flick about Emily Watson trying to reunite children deported to Australia with their parents.

10 years ago Emily Watson still looked pretty damn good.  The years have not been kind.  She's a large woman now.

Breaking Bad. 

Ye gods, was that ever good. It's great when TV makes your heart come up into your throat like that.

I think that's when you should seek medical treatment, pronto...or stat!

More muscular than anything - which also doesnt fit well with the dystopia he is supposed to be living in.

The longest day

uh-oh.  Somebody forgot to turn the color switch "on".  Well, so be it, I shall force myself to watch it in its entirety.

It ain't so bad.  It suffers from some of the usual 60s clichés, John Wayne looks like his usual cowboy self, except in a WWII US Army uniform, but otherwise, I find it enjoyable, so far.  Even though it gets annoying, I kinda like the fact that the germans speak german, the French speak french, the Scots&Irish walk with a bagpipes announcing to every german 3 miles around exactly where they are, etc, etc.  There seems to be a certain attention to detail absent from modern movies.  Suffice to say that after seeing the Last Legion, any movie looks sensational.

Helps to have so many scenes ripped straight from Cornelius Ryan's book.  But yeah, war movies back then always seemed to be "bigger" than modern films.

Breaking Bad was fucking awesome

Invasion of the Neptune Men is the biggest film of all time.

I would guess: Python.

Do you know of a similar movie, but in color?  I seem to remember a slightly different movie about D-Day, but it was in color.  Similar treatment, people from both sides, albeit I think the Germans were speaking english.  Or maybe it was all dubbed in french. I can't figure out the title though.

Nah, not off the top of my head.  May not have been American.
