TV/Movies Megathread

I hope so.  You don't deserve him.

And people give me shit about my Costner Crush. 

I think it's just because Hawke and Ide share the same ability to grow facial hair: like a 15 year old Latino busboy.

I don't get the picture of Schwimmer?

Pining over lost lesbian love.  If only he'd been stronger, faster, or had night vision.

Yeah you really are a shitty movie reviewer. It is possible that you just might have tainted Ethan.

Ide is brilliant!

Case: rested.

The man thinks Days of Thunder was a great movie. He's clearly fallible

Ouch.

He got over the lesbian pretty fast.

[Ideologue]

Iirc between the breakdown of the relationship and him moving on definitively (i.e., dating Rachel) was like three years.  Most famously there was that time that they had a threesome during which he ate a sandwich.

And in a way he never really got over it, because he had to see her all the time and it was always extremely depressing, and Carol damaged him so much that he continually sabotaged his relationships with Julie, Rachel, Bonnie, Rachel, Emily, Rachel, Elizabeth, Mona, and Rachel (one assumes).  Ross Geller is all fucked up.

[Neil]

Yeah, I see your point.  But he stopped pining over her after the first episode, even if her effects linger on.  Instead he spent the rest of the series pining over his first love, to one degree or another.

I guess I coulda gone with Ben Affleck.

Anyway, I finally caught with the Breaking Bad.  Except maybe the last one aired (I'm watching via Amazon).  [spoiler]Jesse's gonna fuck that Boomer up...  Er, don't tell me if Walt's already killed him. [/spoiler]

[Savonarola]

Distant Drums

This film is set during the Seminole Wars in Florida, but otherwise is entirely a paint-by-numbers Western.  Gary Cooper is the rough frontiersman with a dead wife, Richard Webb is the civilized soldier from out east, Mari Aldon is the damsel in distress with a mysterious past, and Richard Barrat is General Zachary Taylor who leads the cavalry (which is played by the infantry in this film.)

The real star of the film is the Everglades and the Castillo St. Marco.  Many films set in Florida are shot elsewhere; this one was shot on location and it pays off in the lush scenery.  The Seminoles in the film are even actual Seminoles.

(The television show "I Dream of Jeanie" is supposed to be set in Cocoa Beach, just up the road from where I live now.  It's amusing to watch it today and see the mountains in what is supposed to be coastal Florida.)

[spoiler]That would be disappointing. The Law or Cancer beating Walt would be reasonable outcomes. Being taken out by a pissant like Jesse would be a let-down. It does happen(see Jesse James) but it's not what I like in a story.[/spoiler]

[Tonitrus]

After finishing the latest Breaking bad...

[spoiler]Going to be hard to see how Hank and Gomez are going to pull out of that Butch/Sandance...but if you're going to kill a couple major characters, you need to do that before the episode ends, not right at the start of a new one.  Doesn't anyone learn from Iron Eagle II?[/spoiler]

...fired up Total Recall from the dvr...not looking like I'll finish it.

I think that's the first movie to use the Wilhelm scream.

That is correct.
