TV/Movies Megathread

American Horror Story always begins well and loses it's way after 5-6 episodes.

But you talk up one Michael Bay movie or TRON sequel...

Pain&Gain?

Seriously, what did you think of it?

Only not the best movie of 2013 because Gravity made everything else pale in comparison.

Snowpiercer was fun enough, but the critical spooging over it was weird.

[Brazen]

I saw a bus with a poster that read: "Don't wait for Sherlock: findmoriarty.tv" I assumed it was a teaser for the special that's filming in the new year, but that URL doesn't exist (yet?), which made me wonder if the bus was being used for filming some advanced footage.

Birdman (2014).  Birdman is very close to the best movie of the year, and it is almost without a doubt the hardest.

I'm unexpectedly virtuous

A+

(1038 words.  That's atypically non-indulgent. )

[Ed Anger]

Rex Reed didn't like it. Yes, I read Rex Reed reviews. Bite me.

Only not the best movie of 2013 because Gravity made everything else pale in comparison.

I haven't sen Gravity yet, and half of 2013 looks like a blackhole to me.  Heck, I saw a movie in theater in july, can't remember what it was.
Pain & Gain was good, but very, hey, extremely weird knowing most of it happenned for real.  That's the kind of wacky stuff I expect an hollywood writer to come up with, but knowing they took it from the trial notes...

Gravity was a fun time to kill 90 minutes, but nothing to write home from space about.

Want a nifty space movie?  Love.

One of the unemployment benefits not funded by the government is the ability to catch Friends reruns on TBS during the afternoon.

One of the greatest TV mysteries will always be the concept of Ross and Rachel.  David Schwimmer?  With Jennifer Aniston?  No.  Just no.  We just don't live in that kind of a universe where that sort of thing would ever happen, which is why television will always remain implausible.

Attractive broke-ass girls know the jude is a good provider.

[CountDeMoney]

But they're boring, and they always go back to the high end moneymaker, older professional or unemployed drummer, depending on their relationship with their father.

[Eddie Teach]

You're saying paleontologists don't get chicks IRL?

[CountDeMoney]

No, I'm saying paleotologists that look like David Schwimmer don't get chicks like Jennifer Aniston in IRL.

[Malthus]

You're saying paleontologists don't get chicks IRL?

Well, at least he's saying older professionals do. Which would be awesome, if they were not married. 

[The Brain]

Fucked up that David Schwimmer was written out of BoB.

[CountDeMoney]

You're saying paleontologists don't get chicks IRL?

Well, at least he's saying older professionals do. Which would be awesome, if they were not married. 

Marc Maron once said that he attracts younger women because he seems to fulfill certain Daddy Issue vacuums, and once they start saying stuff like, "You know, I'm really beginning to communicate better with my father," then he knows the relationship is ending and his work is done.

His show in IFC, btw, is hilarious if you're a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" type of fan.
