TV/Movies Megathread

TWD, what a weird episode.

[spoiler]Yeah. The villains aren't really all that villainy (except the apparently good doctor). Which is a nice change.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]
They are running an indentured servant dystopia where the good doctor arranges for another doctor to be killed so he cant be replaced.  [/spoiler]

[spoiler]As I said, except for the doctor.
The whole setup they've got there.... it really isn't outright evil. They're not cannibals, they're not murdering soldiers to try and keep power and performing odd experiments on walkers.
They're the most ambiguous major villains we've had. As you say more of a dystopia than bad, bad, bad.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I'm not sure it's all that ambiguous...sure it just seems like a modern form of feudalism (doctor is like the clergy, and the cops are the lords/knights, and then the workers are the serfs)...but since they've moved rather quickly into "serfs are also sex/rape slaves to the knights".  Pretty much the worst form of feudalism you can image.  Prima nocta all over the place. [/spoiler]

Disney really has to stop making cartoon chicks I would want to bang.  It's creepy.

Anyone watching Homeland? thought the last episode was pretty intense.

Syfy has ordered a television miniseries adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's novel 3001: The Final Odyssey. The 2001: A Space Odyssey sequel will be adapted by screenwriter Stuart Beattie of Pirates of the Caribbean and Collateral fame. Beattie will also serve as executive producer alongside Ridley Scott and David W. Zucker (Numbers, The Good Wife).

I expect terrible CGI special effects and poor-acting hotties in tight-fitting outfits.

You only want to bang her because she's a cartoon, if she were real those eyes would be freakish.

Dude, you do notice that she looks like a manga/anime character? I'm worried you're getting soft in your anime hate.

Don't worry he is self-flagellating as we speak.

[Syt]

As long as he's not self-fellating.

That was a strange book....I mean, OK, 2001 was strange, but my recollection of 3001 was pretty "Meh"--more of expository writing by Clarke using the Poole character as a narrative device to describe Clarke's vision of life in 3001.
