TV/Movies Megathread

Also "they are doing"

Tonitrus, katmai, garbon, et al., will be happy to know that I am plowing through last season's Walking Dead at a record pace, in time for next week's season premiere, at which point I will be able to join in your post-episode reindeer games.

And I'll be happy to hear you make-up for some commentary on S4 as you plow through it. 

I see Governors don't change their stripes. 

[Eddie Teach]

Gave that new show Scorpion a chance. Waste of 10 minutes.

Gave that new show Scorpion a chance. Waste of 10 minutes. 

Thanks for the warning.  I was wondering if it was worth checking.

[CountDeMoney]

I see Governors don't change their stripes. 

Holy shit...did they clean house Episode 8, or what?    Hershel.    Little baby Judith   

But two to the kindergarten Annie Oakleys. 

Damned shame about that tank, though.  Something like that is worth its weight in gold in the post-apocalyptic world.

Carl is a little shit, and I know he's the one planting the rats.  Because that's what little sociopaths do, killing little animals.  Next, he'll be setting fires.  For camping.

Scrolling up episode 9.

seedy, just keep watching them, just keep watching



Watched Edge of Tomorrow again, good stuff.

[katmai]

Equalizer-
Denzel is one bad mutha#*%~

[HVC]

Watched the three episodes of Gotham so far. It's not as bad as you'd expect.

Equalizer-

Yeah, there's no hope for me.

Joan, to fully address your terribly wrong points, I'll probably have to do a full-scale review of Tron: Legacy, proving objectively why it is one of the best films ever made.   Well, it beats this:

Wait... are racism, sexism, and slavery bad?

Belle (2014).  Why, yes--they are bad.  A+ one million for Belle.

C

In which I also discuss, in connection with Belle, why Things to Come is one of the best films ever made.

[katmai]

Do you see a rating of said movie?

[Ideologue]

Fair enough.

[Liep]

Watched the three episodes of Gotham so far. It's not as bad as you'd expect.

Agreed, not as bad as you'd expect from the reviews or from the general concept, but it's still bad.

October 8th is the Day of the Spendthrift.  Got:

Citizen Kane
Sleeping Beauty (finally reissued yesterday! and so pretty )
Topkapi
Thief of Bagdad (1924)
and
The Vincent Price Collection, Vol. I, including--
Fall of the House of Usher
Pit and the Pendulum
Haunted Palace
Masque of the Red Death
The Abominable Dr. Phibes
and
Witchfinder General (aka THE CONQUEROR WORM)

I was supposed to be off today but such was not the case.

Anyway, quick question to Joan: is Sleeping Beauty a shitty movie?  Surely it must meet your definition of turgid and/or insipid.  (Of course, this applies equally to Thief of Bagdad.)

[Ideologue]

Holy cow, is Fall of the House of Usher good.

[The Larch]

The Corman-Poe films are great.
