TV/Movies Megathread

The secret to happy relationships is finding people who's neuroses are compatible with your own.

[Ideologue]

Yeah, chicks dig guys with body dysmorphic disorders.

So, started to (re)watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm".

Finally a show that captures my attitude towards fellow human beings.

The Mad Max trailer has mesmerized me completely; I must have watched it a dozen times since it came out. It's completely bonkers, the good kind of bonkers. I hope the film is just a 90 minute long chase between people that have had way too much LSD punctuated by Verdi's Requiem. It's a glorious trailer.

Same 

I think George Miller said the film is basically entirely a chase sequence

It's early, but I've been digging Peaky Blinders on Netflix, and I am glad the Brits gave it to us.  I think it's false to call it a Brit Boardwalk Empire, though.   

Not watched Peaky Blinders, but I will. But I find this is a common/annoying habit to brand British TV programs as a 'British x'. We had it with The Hour being described as a 'British Mad Men' which it really, really isn't.

"The Hour" succeeded in being even more boring than current "Mad Men".

[Sheilbh]

I loved The Hour


Though I never did watch the second series.

[Capetan Mihali]

I watched Shallow Grave, Danny Boyle's first (?) major movie, from 1994.  The plot and characterization leave a lot to be desired, but it is rich in style.

People here rate current Mad Men highly. I don't.

[Josephus]

Shallow Graveintroduced the world to Hugh Grant.


I liked that movie a lot.

[Ideologue]

Wasn't that preceded by Lair of the White Worm.

Anyway, I said I'd never seen a Burt Lancaster movie, but I've totes seen Run Silent, Run Deep. Kino Lorber has it on BD and I want it. But I've got to save my money and be an adult and live within my blah blah blah.

[Ideologue]

I also kind of want to blind buy Juggernaut, because I like the title, premise, and cover art.

Black Mirror - Pretty good British sci-fi/horror anthology, think modern Twilight Zone with decent acting.  A couple of the episodes are clunkers, but that's to be expected.  Mostly it sucks that there are only six episodes.  On Netflix.

[Ideologue]

I've heard high buzz about Black Mirror. Wanna see.

[Razgovory]

You know why murder graves are always shallow?  Cause digging those bastards take for fucking ever.  Especially at night and you have to keep a gun on a guy.  You start out thinking, "Yeah, we're going to dig this so deep they'll never find him", and three hours later you going, "Right, let's just dumb some leaves over him and go to the waffle house."

[Eddie Teach]

If the victim is dead, you don't need to worry about keeping a gun on him.
