I want a Bowie biopic starring Tilda Swinton.

Not pretty enough or skinny enough.

Maybe Keira Knightly.

You know who Tilda Swinton is, right?

You know who Tilda Swinton is, right?

Maybe not.  I'm thinking of the broad from Narnia and Michael Clayton.

She was Gabriel in Constintine.

Anyone seen Arrow? I watched the first couple of episodes and it seemed kind of meh. Does it get better?

I quite enjoy it.  I'd say give it a few more episodes.

I was offended by the blatant advertising to draw in people who like shirtless men.

He keeps getting them back from the zombies he kills, ever notice how he generally uses it when there's only a few zombies and he can get it back, or simply use the arrow as a stick?

Yeah, I've seen him retrieve them a lot, but he has also fired and not retrieved them a lot of times too.
Also wear and tear should be an issue, but in the Walking Deadverse that evidently doesn't exist what with angry black lady's magic sword.

What really bugs me about the Walking Deadverse is that people seem to die and yet are still able to walk around and hear noises and smell other people and groan.

[Josephus]

I'm sure she sharpens it when you're not looking.

In the few seconds where the camera cuts away between her chopping off 5 zombies heads and cutting another in half just after smashing open a chain?

Swords don't instantly go dull after use... You use kitchen knives, right?  How many vegetables have you chopped up without sharpening one?

Cutting a human in two is a bit more difficult. It strikes me as doubtful it could be done so often and so easily with a katana.

I really don't think this show is for you.

[Eddie Teach]

I really don't think this show is for you.

Nah, he enjoys moaning over silly shit.

  I have the same problem with zombies movies.

Caught The Goddess on TCM Silent Movie Sundays.  1934 Silent Chinese flick about a woman who goes into prostitution to make money to keep her son alive and aiming for a better life.  I found it quite a good watch.  Have you seen it yet, Sav?  I'd definitely recommend it.

No, I haven't.  It looks interesting; I'll see if I can download it.   

That was a good movie, thanks for the recommendation, BA.

If anyone's interested you can watch it here:  https://archive.org/details/thegoddess  There's no incidental music that goes with the film on that site, though.

Tilda Swinton's pretty hot.

Was fiscally profligate and indulged modestly in the Criterion sale.   Bargained with myself to eat only PB+J for the next week, got Things to Come, and Grand Prix for $10 to fill out the free shipping minimum, both on blu-ray.  Apparently the Criterion release of Things to Come is substantially better than the Harryhausen set, having been done from a restored 35mm print rather than the 16mm print the other company had access to.  Also has a commentary track that's about the movie, rather than Ray Harryhausen opining on colorization, and a production design featurette.  Ooh.  Also gives me leave to hate on the classism inherent in the Criterion business model, which I think it's reasonable to believe H.G. Wells would hate.

I suppose if you are the fence about that whole homosexual/heterosexual thing.
