Looking for a decent series after finishing Show Me a Hero. Marco Polo, yay or nay?

If you really really miss Game of Thrones or suffer from yellow fever, go for it. I didn't find it that interesting.

[Eddie Teach]

I liked it.

Deadfall.  Nicholas Cage screams his head off while Cpl. Hicks bangs his really nice looking squeeze.  I couldn't figure out what this movie was about but the love interest was super hott.

[Razgovory]

Red Dawn (1984, of course). Greatest 2nd Amendment agitprop ever?

I nominate one of the Charles Bronson street vigilante movies.  In war time gun rights are not up for debate.

Interesting question:  If the government gives weapons to partisans, are the weapons the property of the partisans or the government?

Nay.  I think I watched 4 episodes and I don't remember a thing that happens other than some nice TnA.

Death Wish 1 is pretty much a film about a pacifist gun-hater embracing gun culture. Can't get more NRA-ish than that.

The National Board of Review names Mad Max as best film of the year:

That's a big one in the Oscar race.

Also, watched the first two eps of Marco Polo. Wasn't aware there was a wuxia angle, so I'm sold on that alone; seems harmlessly entertaining enough.

[The Brain]

Randomly stumbled onto an episode of Bunheads (never heard of). Great dialogue.

Was rewatching Silence of the Lambs Friday night (still plays) and noticed Roger Cormann has a credit on it.

Jonathan Demme started his career directing explotation films for Corman. He also has a cameo in Godfather 2 - he also helped start Coppola's career.

And yeah, Silence of the Lambs remains an immensely watchable film.

If I ever compile a list of my top 10 movies, this would certainly be on it

I have seen better.  If you don't have anything else to watch, try it.

The overwhelming number of Star Wars themed commercials is dulling my anticipation.
