TV/Movies Megathread

You talking shit about my weave?

[Kleves]

Saw The Desolation of Smaug. Approaching Star Wars prequel-level meaningless CGI wackiness.

[jimmy olsen]

So, is the Arkenstone a Silmaril or what?

^^^ I thought the CGI was much less intrusive than in the first Hobbit.

[Syt]

I'm now four episodes into Season 3 of Breaking Bad. Still very good.

What I noticed is that all major female characters, not only the wife, are self centered cunts. The wife, her sister, and Jesse's girlfriend in season 2. Gretchen escapes that a bit, but she hasn't been in the plot much.

[Eddie Teach]

The single mom Jesse will start dating soon isn't that bad.

Those eyelashes real?

Trying to watch Frances Ha without tearing my eyes out.  Failing.

Hey, dude, you wanna hear something cool?  For once, we agree.  This movie had to have been made by a 50 year old--the idea that there's a debit card which doesn't have credit card functionality and can't be used a restaurant, something not likely to be seen this side of the year 2000, is the tell.  But even if that weren't there, it'd be evident in every frame and every line.  This movie is like The Eternal Jew for Millennials.

[Queequeg]

It's really, really terrible.  I don't even know if it was supposed to be funny. 

Also, "The Eternal Jew for Millenials" is fantastic.

It'll be the title of my full write-up, which I think this bothersome film deserves.

But, yeah, this thing's getting a Criterion release.  It's popular and well-received.  We'd better watch out, or we're gonna find ourselves on the way to Madagascar real soon.

You have time to watch that but not whatever movie CDM is chiding you about not having seen this week? Tsk tsk. 

[Ideologue]

I forget what he was chiding me about.  Was it a John Frankenheimer flick that wasn't on Instant Watch?

Black Sunday is on Instant Watch though.

Thing is I gotta watch RIPD, which is one of my discs out.  BLARGH.  Three shitty movies in one day, hooray!  (I also watched The Host today.  That movie is... less per se bad than it is intensely problematic.  I give it an R+ for being Rapetastic!)

I just read an article a week or two ago on how a shocking number of small buissnesses still opperate on a cash only basis.

During which you could've knocked out Reds instead.  :ebertfrowny:

Sure, if you count "meth franchise" as a small business.

Small businesses don't want to be bothered with paying merchant fees per transaction or the obnoxious cost for the rental of credit card equipment.  They're small businesses, you know.
