TV/Movies Megathread

(And something that bothers me very mildly about the whole show: while I appreciate Breaking Bad's extravagant boosting of the STEM, or useful, fields, it takes a virtually magical approach to drug manufacture.  Is making methamphetamine really so artful and random that lab techs simply cannot follow a set of directions and produce identical results every time?  I mean, Gayle was like a real chemist with actual pharmaceutical experience: he really can't refine the process to get the 99% purity rates and that blue color?  It's not like he's synthesizing a different molecule each time.  And yes, I realize that without Heisenberg's specialness, there's no show--Gus kills him the first time he negatively impacts shareholder value--but, seriously, what is with that?)

It's the biggest weakness of the show, but one that doesn't impact the rest of it too adversely.  Accept that WW has a special, only reproducible by other talented folks (Gayle) talent and it works.

I was watching a porno and a great line came up: "Maybe I could beat her over the head with some uranium." It's good to live the dream.

[Admiral Yi]

Rewatched about half of Michael Clayton last night.  Man that movie is tight as a drum.

[The Brain]

Continuing with the geezer show. Schwimmer, yeeees!

[Habbaku]

Otto Sander, lead actor in Wender's Wings of Desire and Faraway, So Close has died.

Just watched Das Boot again last night, actually.  Couldn't help but laugh when he delivers the line in English at the party.

Yeah, I think that's my favorite Clooney flick.  Just a fantastically made movie.

In what context did that come up?

[Ideologue]

Watching Toy Story 2.

Woody once risked his life for me.

Now that's a pretty rose-colored view of the events in the first film...

Toy Story 2?  That's the best you can do on a Friday night?

At least I've got "Fools Rush In" on, and thinking how there'd be no movie if I had knocked up Salma Hayek.

Ide wins this round.

Not for nothing, but Jessie's really thin.

Anyway, I'm going out in about thirty.

The barflys really don't start getting ripe until 1am.

I guess during that time frame, sailors would be the Germans most likely to speak English.

In what context did that come up?

It's in Grudgefuck 7. Guy's gf is yakking annoyingly about stuff and the guy imagines different ways to shut her up (his thoughts are illustrated by him doing them and she doesn't notice them, in classic comedy style). The line is spoken by his inner voice. After a while he surprisingly thinks of putting his cock in her mouth and lo and behold it does work.

Pale Rider is on.  What a poopy Eastwood western.
