TV/Movies Megathread

I guess that's the difference.  There's some elements of The Walking Dead I like but, as you'd guess from the fact that I'm ready to give it up, I'd pretty dramatically change it if I was a writer or something.

You didn't like Metropolitan?  Wasn't it kind of, um, about you?  Ivy League New York native 20somethings?

Yeah, just like Sheilbh's life in the dynastic family castle.

(That was largely sarcastic.)

Garbo, you're probably looking for an adventure-horror series, but I really want Deadwood with zombies, only replace post-ACW PTSD with post-zombie apocalypse PTSD.

ya, but your show would be canceled after the third episode.

episode two would veer off into some awkward 30 minute monologue by rick about how zombies are comparable to the Russian empire.

Walking dead- the story was pretty messed up bit... I don't know. The way it unfolded just did nothing. It was too blunt and unreal

I was going to disagree with this, but then remembered that all the shows I was stealing ideas from for my hypothetical Walking Dead didn't live past Season 3.

You have to turn Walking Dead into a cop show.

American Shameless- OK. Why do I recognise Carl's girlfriend?

[Ideologue]

I dunno.  I like Whit Stillman movies okay.

Really?   I've only seen "Metropolitan," but I didn't find it all that charming.  And charming seemed to be what it was striving for.

I like Barcelona and Last Days of Disco.  I presume I dislike Damsels in Distress--Greta Gerwig and all.

I'm curious as to whether Habbaku thinks I rated Fox too high or too low.

West Side Story (1961).  It's hard to say if I like the songs for themselves--for I don't think a one of them could exist independently of the film as something one would especially want to listen to--or if I like them because their cultural omnipresence triggered long-dormant memories--most notably in regards to a bunch of MST3K reference jokes I suddenly got.  But this musical is pretty fun, musically; and I love the dance choreography despite and perhaps because of its intrinsic laughability; and I love the way Wise films this movie; and I love Romeo and Juliet; and the pace Wise gives the material--well, it's simply stunning how quickly its two and a half hours pass.

A high B+ but if my girlfriend asks, it's a low A

I thought it was a pretty effective commentary of what happens to people affected with mental illness when they don't get their pills anymore in the post apocalypse world.
