TV/Movies Megathread

White House Down. That movie ended when they tried to pull McPoyle off as a hacker mastermind.

Walking Dead Mofos!

[Tonitrus]

Not too impressed with the season opener.  They better brew up something more interesting than [spoiler]zombies falling from the sky and the prison colony zombifying from the inside[/spoiler], or it's going to be a long season.

Well shit, for some reason I thought it was on next weekend. 

Looks like a late night then.

I was wondering why you were so quiet

[Habbaku]

I was actually pleasantly-surprised with this week's episode.  It wasn't overly-flashy or impressive or anything, but at least it was interesting.

Yeah seemed decent start to season, no idea what Zoomietrus is bellyaching about.

Escape From Tomorrow (2013).  Randy Moore shot a whole movie (well, most of a whole movie) at Disneyworld and Disneyland without permission.  It's a drama/comedy/psychological thriller/weird art movie about the breakdown of the family and how guys really want to fuck teenagers.  It's not very good, especially as it goes bugnuts and falls apart in the third act, but it was sort of interesting to watch.

C+

Man, this newest John Carpenter movie is disappointing

Disney lost the ensuing lawsuit? Or as is it legal as long as they don't notice? 

[Ideologue]

Iirc they declined to attempt to prevent the film's release.  Smart move on their part, if so.

It's really not anti-Disney in any direct way, hardly even in an indirect way; Escape just uses Disneyworld as sort of a general setting and as a symbol of phoniness and (maybe?) optimistic youth.

There's about five minutes that deal with some kind of Disney/Siemens conspiracy, but the idea literally enters the film and drops out entirely within that time frame; the time is mainly used to make semen jokes; and that scene and its disconnected weirdness is one of the reasons the movie slightly sucks.

They didn't really set up anything to hang an entire season on.

Pretty much.  Doesn't mean it won't go somewhere, but it is starting off drifting.

The main concepts in the plot were pretty much rehashes...

[spoiler]1. Let's go on a run!  See how careful we are!  Oops, new black guy makes a mess by looking at relapsing into alcohol, zombies fall from the roof.

2. Rick continues to agonize over the soul of humanity.

3. Things can never be truly safe, as zombie-ism spawns from within with no obvious cause (other than chaos factor)[/spoiler]

I am just saying it hasn't set up anything new, other than the same-old zombie drama...and it needs to do better than that to sustain a series. 

And on a tangent, as I just saw it on TV...the dad's Jabba costume on this recent Verizon commercial is awesome.

lol, that is hilarious.  I could see the Anger family doing that.  The twins would be storm troopers; one pair in Hoth winter gear, the other pair in jungle scout armor.

Same here. Good start to the season.
