TV/Movies Megathread

There's a Sin City sequel on the way. 

Because the first one was so good?

[Liep]

Arrow?
I've not even heard of that one.

Yeah, best let it stay that way.

It's Green Arrow the TV show

I recommend it  most highly.

The CW takes lots of interesting ideas and turns them into shows for teenage girls. It's their stock in trade.

Oh also the new Trip. Brydon and Coogan in Italy. It's still very good.

But it's going to be hard to top the Michael Caine scene in the original.

Thought it was watchable enough, some stories better than others but that's bound to happen with an anthology film. It seems to me it is a bit late for a sequel though, smecks of a lot of people needing badly something resembling a hit (Rodríguez, Willis...)

[Eddie Teach]

Willis? Is it a prequel?

Yes, me and AmScip, the bearded ones, are teenage girls. The CW does have the teeny girl vibe, the producers have talked about all the "parties" they have to have. The CW'ness doesn't interfere much with the Emerald Archer Rises vibe the producers have been going for.

But yes, they don't alienate teenage girls. Bryan Q. Miller (who wrote Stephanie Brown as Batgirl and worked on Smalville (the other CW superhero show)) has a couple of writing credits as well as Geoff Johns. It's a teeny girl-comic book geek crossover.

Watched The Amazing Spider-Man in prep for the sequel.  Pretty darn good.

Alba's also in the cast. It seems Miller wrote a story about what happens to her character after the end of the original story, and I guess Hartigan will show up in flashbacks and stuff.

Did you like Buffy, Smallville and Roswell? I tried to watch all of those but they just didn't engage me enough to endure the sappy bits.

Roswell sucked. Buffy didn't have the sappy bits (for the most part). Smallville managed to transcend the sappy bit from time to time.

[Josquius]

Buffy was good and Roswell was soso.
I loved smallville for a while then lost interest and stopped watching, which is rare

Arrow is better than smallville, more compelling and without letting the "CW tropes" mess up the story.

Just got The Raid DVD from the library. Gonna get watched tonight.
