TV/Movies Megathread

I liked The Gods Must Be Crazy.

Best South African movie ever. Course, I've only seen about 3.

Watched About Time with my oldest boy this time.  It really is a great father son movie.

I just love that movie.

Does District 9 count?

I saw one a decade ago; not a great cinematic work - just your regular courtroom drama - but it raised a lot of interesting topics: A Reasonable Man.

I liked The Gods Must Be Crazy.

Best South African movie ever. Course, I've only seen about 3.

I think there weren't many more except "Kaffir be crazy", "Soweto? So, veto", "Point Blanc Range", "The Color Purple Just Won't Do" etc. etc.

Does District 9 count?

I counted it. That one and one about a cop who decides to rob banks and ends up getting gunned down in Florida.

I am not sure who I'd like the most to show up naked at my door. Vee or Fiona from "Shameless".

Does District 9 count?

No.  Barf.

I totally failed to realise man in the high castle was happening.
It's good. Silly and unrealistic alternate history of course, but fun.

Locke. Hilarious. Guy tries to manage the biggest pour of concrete in Europe while his life is collapsing around him (such a subtle metaphor). Tom Hardy manages to sell the material, but I really don't get the reviews the film's got. I kid you not, 50% of the film's dialogue is about concrete, and not in an ironic Tarantino way.

Really enjoying this season's "Looking". Read an interesting analysis of this show recently, where the author argued that the series shows that even with full acceptance, gays will not have exactly the same lifestyle as heteros. There is some truth to that.

I think you just like his hypochondria.

But yes, I'm liking it so far...though I wasn't hoping to see more of Augustin's slow motion suicide.

Also, I miss SF.

Oh, I see.  So the premise is that gays will keep being gay.  Gotcha.

It's a shame the gay community decided to toss out its concern for the AIDS epidemic, and went back to fucking each other like it's 1978.

Watched Glory. At least the Denzel going psycho on James Island bit.

I'd guess a lot more gay men use condoms these days.

I'd guess a lot more gay men use condoms these days.

Maybe, maybe not.  Seems the conventional thinking of gay monogamy at the height of the AIDS crisis in popular culture has fallen by the wayside, though.

Then 1978? Definitely so.

As to monogamy, man that sounds boring.
