TV/Movies Megathread

[Razgovory]

Iron Man Trois.

Not sure what I think of it.

That's why Ide is here.

[Queequeg]

That's why I brought up the Holmes comparison.  Holmes had that many bodies lying about IIRC in various forms. 

[Josephus]

Her.

A bit underwhelmed...maybe all the hype?

Thought it was OK. Well done, but just average story.

Also. Seriously. Would anyone market that program as an operating system? It's like marketing a tank as an All Terrain Vehicle.

[CountDeMoney]

It's a horror tv show.  The psychology is actually pretty interesting, but yeah there's like a H.H. Holmes every week or so.

The psychology is "pretty interesting"?  [spoiler]Lecter's mindfuckery of Graham is an absolute fucking masterpiece.[/spoiler]

My concern was "Why would I buy an operating system that can just leave, or, worse, get angry at me?"  But I'm assuming the risk is assumed by the purchaser and it's all in the shrinkwrap agreement that Theo casually discards because reading contracts is boring.

Finally got to see Inside Llewyn Davis (2013).

Short version: it was good!

Slightly less-short version:

This is the anti-Frances Ha: the story of a loser who loses, and everyone, including him, knows it.  Inside Llewyn Davis is a beautifully-acted, sharply-written, tragicomic study in wasting your life on a dream and why it is so tempting—and so terrible.

Long version, but shorter than I bet you'd expect (1543 words):

Ein volk!

B+

Question for garbon or any other urbanian: I described those apartment hallways as "impossible," but is that true?  Are they really that fucking narrow?  It's like a Goddamned German Expressionist film in there.

[spoiler]I meant more for the horror-of-the-week episodes.  I thought Tobias was an extremely effective villain, and even some of the lesser monster of the week characters had their moments.  Hannibal's supremely fucked up psychic driving "I'm going to make a buddy out of a freak with an empathy disorder and crippling encephalitis" is, as you said, fucking brilliant.  That last conversation, "If you cultivated them as the inspirations they are", is just about as creepy as anything in TV history.

Are you watching True Detective, CDM?  It's pretty great so far.  Alexandra Daddario

[katmai]

Keep your grubby mormon hands off the future ex mrs. Katmai you jerk.

[Queequeg]

Her body is unbelievable.  Like, literally.  I had trouble believing what I was seeing last night. 

[Malthus]

Her body is unbelievable.  Like, literally.  I had trouble believing what I was seeing last night.

Last time I had that reaction, I was watching this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0022913/

I suspect that is not what you meant, though. 

[The Brain]

Just like katmai's body. No wonder they get married.

Yeah, that show is very well done.  And yes, her breasts are pretty close to perfect.

The local video store I joined last week is closing now. 

But they're having a liquidation sale, $3.00 a movie or 4 for $10.00.  I bought eight movies, all Criterion Collection:

Cul-De-Sac
Cries and Whispers
RoboCop
Winter Light
2 or 3 Things I Know About Her
Blow Out
Umberto D.
Tokyo Story

[garbon]

When my cousin's local video store was closing, he and my sister went halves on buying me all the seasons of six feet under. Was a wonderful gift during my depression.
