Justified.

Seconded.

And unlike The Brink, you won't be caught up in 3 hours.

Grey Fox

As CC said Kingsman is pretty entertaining. Fucking crazy over the top but fun.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Been burning through Ray Donovan season 1 & 2. Very good so far.

Just binge watched Halt and Catch Fire and unbreakable kimmie Schmidt this last week.

Gravity again.  So great, so awesome.  First time I actually watched the blu-ray--not the IMAX 3D experience, to be sure, but unsurpassably thrilling nonetheless.  The magic ghost part doesn't bother me as much as it used to.

Several episodes of Inside Amy Schumer.  Is ok.

Nymphomaniac Volume 1. For a movie about sex, there sure is a lot of talking.

The Mrs. H segment is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

I actually really enjoyed the director's cut of both volumes, though the first moreso than the second.  Definitely a very art-faggy film, though.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I've channel surfed about four episodes of Justified and it seems like more or less the same thing happens in each episode.
True.  People & settings change, yet, it's always Raylan Givens provoking bad guys into attacking him and then getting rid of them one way or another.

Yet, it is immensely fun and many of the characters have unforgettable lines.
Random dialogue between a woodbe criminal and a store owner:
[spoiler]
- Do you have a ski mask?
- What for?  We're in Kentucky!
- Anything that covers your face?
- You want me to call the police and tell them you're about to commit a crime?
[/spoiler]

And my favorite:
[spoiler]
Marshal: - Are you a Star Wars fan?
Criminal: ...
- I am.  Especially the non retouched episodes. The one scene in particular where Han Solo shoots first.  Do you get my meaning?
- (nods)
[/spoiler]
Quoted from my head, may not be 100% accurate, but you get the feeling.

Imho, it's goddam fun to watch.  Silly, maybe on a scale from 1 to Banshee, about 90%, yet, very funny :)


Oh. and there's that southern accent. It adds a little something to the show :)  Maybe 'cause it aint' my country and my language, it makes it more exotic :)

And hotties trying to bang him.

New season of Gravity Falls.
I tried Halt and Catch Fire. I want most of the characters to get shot.
PDH!

How good is Criterion Kagemusha? Is it a long version?

AFAIK, it's the only way to get the long Japanese cut (3-hour long) in the West on Blu-ray.

Grey Fox

Justified is awesome because Olyphant is basically playing his Deadwood character in a modern setting.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Eddie Teach

Juice. I thought that I'd seen it back in the day, but none of it was familiar so maybe not.

The story wasn't one about how ghetto life systematically crushes dreams and aspirations(what I expected, probably this was the point of Boyz n the Hood IIRC). It was about poor choices and their consequences. Republicans would probably enjoy it.

Kingsman's just great.

I'm looking for some series to watch... Turn: yay or nay?

Brink on HBO. Tim Robbins is amazing.

I just started watching that, seems a good show.

Another show I started watching a few weeks ago is Humans. Good one, I like it. A Brit show.
