Wow, SVU had quite a ridiculous take on gamergate.

Ridiculous how?

Stabler took a computer into an interrogation room and beat it till he was satisfied it had suffered.

(I haven't watched SVU in like ten years.)

I laughed.

Tom Hardy is just a badass, end of story.
He's wonderful. Love, love Bronson.

I also find his good-lookingness is weird too. It's sort of young Oliver Reed-ish.
Let's bomb Russia!

I liked the SVU episode when Stabler worked over the German kiddie porn guy in Prague while the female Interpol chick watched.

Really?  Reed always possessed a hovering sinisterness about him;  Hardy strikes me more of the Brando mold of tough-guy sexuality.

Oh sure enough.  Spellus is still with us.  If I ever see Review I will keep that in mind.

I thought he was James MacAvoy in the last TNG Star Trek movie.  Which is odd to think about now, but makes sense before he became fucking massive.

And yeah.  Bronson is wonderful.

That scene cracks me up every time I see it.

I had never heard of either McAvoy or Hardy when that movie came out, or for several years after.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

I saw Star Trek Nemesis a few months ago and I didn't realize it was Tom Hardy playing the Picard clone, he's so wiry in that  :lol:

Rather over the top. Had to hit all the standard things of the gamergate issue but then also went into a kidnapping and hostage scenario shoot off with individuals who could not tell reality from the game.

Also, all the bits about Ice-T the gamer. :D

Stabler hasn't been a character in...4 years.

lol, from the local fishwrap:

QuoteWith all that irresistible anticipation, how could a movie about BDSM be so run of the mill? The short answer: fear and money. It's one thing to read about the bondage-enabled sexual awakening of a virgin. It's quite another to see it depicted on screen.

Director Sam Taylor-Johnson had an impossible mission on her hands to meld the tawdry with the conventional. It's like trying to mash up the sensibilities of Lars von Trier with Nancy Meyers to create an end product that will be appealing on a mass scale. In trying to please everyone, though, "Fifty Shades of Grey" has stripped away the fun and settled on palatable. There have been perfume commercials with more depth and story arc.

:lol:
