TV/Movies Megathread

[Admiral Yi]

What were your expectations?

I was expecting something on the order of Basterds.  Not a great flick, but with entertaining moments.

[celedhring]

I didn't care much for Django either. It has some strong moments, but it's unjustifiably long and self-indulgent - like all Tarantino fare as of late.

[Josephus]

Watched Purge...well most of it. Spent most of the first hour trying to figure out where I knew the wife from. Then I had my Eureka, Cersei moment.

[Ed Anger]

Becket. Peter O' Toole.

[Queequeg]

"As of late" including Pulp Fiction?

[CountDeMoney]

OK, who's more fuckable:  Jolie in Maleficent?  Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman?  I say Theron, hands down.

[Razgovory]

I don't think "as of late" includes films made 20 years ago near the beginning of his career.

[Liep]

It's always Theron in that match up. Maybe Jolie edges it in Monsters.

[Josquius]

Laberynth- I'd forgot how good it was. I haven't seen it since I was a kid. And can remember little about it from back then, I'm not sure whether I liked it or not back then, I guess not.

[Ideologue]

OK, who's more fuckable:  Jolie in Maleficent?  Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman?  I say Theron, hands down.

Charlize Theron bathes in a white liquid in And The Hunstman.  Advantage: Theron.  Plus, Theron is simply more attractive than Jolie, and always has been.  Her movie was better too.

That said, the cheekbone prosthetics Jolie's wearing (Christ, I hope wearing) in Maleficent do her a lot of favors, namely minimizing her enormous lips and mouth, so she is pretty much as hot as possible.  Also, I wanna grab me some horns and see how well they're attached.

...YOU ASKED.

[celedhring]

Caught Shallow Hal on the telly. Bland and unfunny.

[viper37]

Theron, no doubt about it.

[Viking]

Jolie is plastic and insane

So, Theron.

[Sheilbh]

Also started watching The Americans.

There are just not enough programs with Cap Weinberger nowadays

It's great.  Did you watch the second season of Hannibal yet?

Got a few episodes in. I'll return to it.

In a non-spoilery way, does Al Haig appear in the Americans?

[celedhring]

I'm aware that the guy that created the Americans is former CIA, but do we know if some of the storylines are based upon actual KGB activity?

For example, I was quite taken by the episode where [spoiler]their KGB handler kidnaps them pretending to be CIA in order to make sure they wouldn't confess if discovered[/spoiler]
