TV/Movies Megathread

I decided to watch the pilot of Breaking Bad.
I had totally forgot in the later series that Walter worked in the car wash in the TV series, I assumed when he talked about having worked there it was something that had happened before the TV series, perhaps when he was a student.
It also looks really old for some reason, despite just being from the end of the last decade.


I also watched a film called Frank. Some weird take on Frank Sidebottom; why they would make a film about him I've no idea....probably why they so drastically altered everything about it. It was so-so.

Breaking Bad looks old to you? The only thing that makes it feel slightly dated are the non-smartphones they use.



I watched the first two episodes of BoJack Horseman. It's surprisingly much better than I had feared.

The final series certainly didn't when I watched it last year. But re-watching the pilot it does. I'm not sure why.

It starts pretty badly too. It is a really pretty good show.

Enemy Mine. Cheesy but entertaining.

'Captain Philips' with Tom Hanks, worth bothering to watch ?

I don't think you've listened to my advice a single time.

Well, Edge of Tomorrow was excellent. Loved it.

Saw John Wick.  Actually quite enjoyed it.  It was nice that the whole supporting cast wad 'Hey, that guy!'

It truly was.

Easily one of the best sci-fi actioners I have seen in recent years. I was afraid it would just get stuck on the groundhog day tropes but once they get that out of the way and Cruise discovers his "mission" it manages to find its own path in a very satisfying way.

I only disliked [spoiler]the tacked on happy ending[/spoiler] but it wasn't a big deal. They probably could have developed his relationship with Blunt's character a little bit more, but they have some good moments. [spoiler]Loved the farm scene for example.[/spoiler]

[The Brain]

Explain to me, as you would to an idiot, what was so great about EoT.

They probably could have developed his relationship with Blunt's character a little bit more, but they have some good moments.

One tweak I would have made is [spoiler]to set up the farm scene by showing a couple more scenes of Cruise responding to Blunt dying.  IIRC they only did that once, in the 1st or 2nd groundhog day.[/spoiler]

Actually, I like how they did that.[spoiler] The way he gets so worked up by trying to avoid her death makes you suddenly realize he's fallen in love with her.[/spoiler] I just think their arc wasn't fully brought to a closure.

One thing I didn't fully understand though...[spoiler] is that in the following resurrection he tries to do it all on his own, without risking Blunt. But won't she die at the beach then?[/spoiler]
