TV/Movies Megathread

Polly Walker's part was particularly wasted.

"Oh, look, isn't she Atia from Rome? I love that actress."
*Dies gruesomely*
"Oh well..."

It's not even a spoiler, she's handled in such a throwaway manner.

Doesn't it star Sam Worthington and Gemma Arterton?

And Pete Postlethwaite, about two days before he died of cancer?

And Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes, and Luke Evans, and Mads Mikkelsen, and Nicholas Hoult, and Polly Walker (Atia in HBO's Rome), and Elizabeth McGovern (the Countess of Grantham in Downton Abbey) and a bunch of Game of Thrones veterans (Alexander Siddig, Liam Cunningham, Rory McCann).

Well, fair enough.  And I do love Alexander Siddig.  DS9 and Syriana?  That's an accomplished resume already.

But, man, Polly Walker is on my List of celebs to have rough sex with after her part in "Rome".

The Winter Soldier exposes the truth of the Illumanati and the New World Order to the masses! Wake up sheeple!

The Wachowskis have been consistently putting out ambitious yet silly content since The Matrix.

Cloud Atlas was pretty good.  It's one of those movies the movie critics are unable to understand because they can't get past the first layer, like Sucker Punch.

Saw a movie on Netflix called Parallels which was actually OK....about shifting from one alternate universe to another, a la Sliders.

The ending was kind of a non-ending so I looked it up and saw it was a rejected TV pilot.  Waste of 90 minutes.

I had the same experience.  No idea what the fuck was going on there at the end.  No idea it was a rejected TV pilot.  Now its suckitude makes sense.

Terminator Genysis has become a smash hit in China and it looks increasingly likely that we will be punished with a sequel. It's now the 2nd highest grossing Terminator movie after T-2 (unadjusted).

[Josquius]

Mad Max (new)- well that was one if the stupidest things I've ever seen. But a lot of fun.
I can't help but think however that the ending may be grim- so they just turned the water on like that... Won't it run dry and kill the citadel totally?
Also, max didn't get his car back afterall, mad max is all about the car 
I also ponder how long he was prisoner at the start

Yeah, I saw that.  They're nearly as an important a market as America these days, and as undiscriminating as we sometimes appear to be, their ability to distinguish good from bad must be virtually nonexistent.

And to add on, the Chinese government is apparently accused of rigging box office figures in favor of a patriotic film.

Reviewed Grand Prix (1966).  10/10.  Frankenheimer.

Also managed to check out Black Sunday and Seven Days in May.  8 and 7 of 10, respectively.

Personally I'd rate 'Seven Days in May' higher than a seven.

Although it's more the movie theaters cheating in order to take advantage of the bonuses the Chinese government set for the patriotic film.

Went to a friend's daughter birthday party. It was a mistake, it was all full of kids and parents.

Anyway. Hotel Transylvania - dull and predictable. Kids loved it.
