TV/Movies Megathread

[The Larch]

Steve Carell as John Du Pont

Wait they made a movie about the rich guy who shot that wrestler? Huh. Well I guess that story was weird enough.

He was really good in it, too. So was Channing Tatum, surprisingly.

[Valmy]

Ah a Box office bust, no wonder I had not heard of it before. But considering how creepy and disturbing that story was I can understand why people did not rush to see it.

[Martinus]

Watched Golden Globes. Loved Ricky Gervais as always. 

By the way, can this guy from Arrested Development/Transparent stop acting like he is some sort of Doctors Without Borders slash Messiah every time he receives an award? He is acting in a comedy series made by an online store. Jesus, get some perspective.

Loving this ad campaign for Deadpool:

[Josquius]

Deadpool has had a lot of interesting pre release  marketing.
I'm skeptical about how the film will be. I think we've reached the point of super hero overload.

[celedhring]

It's pretty primed for a film like Deadpool, though. The comic is pretty much a sendup of the whole genre.

[Darth Wagtaros]

I don't wanna hear anything bad about The Pool!

[Eddie Teach]

Far From the Madding Crowd- another film in which Carey Mulligan makes bad choices about men.  Decent film for those of us whom Hardy doesn't bore to tears.

Cloverfield sequel trailer.

I rooted for the monster in the first. No sign of it in the trailer, though.

[katmai]

It's not a sequel.

[celedhring]

Yeah, they say it's sorta "in the same universe" or whatever. It will have an IMAX release anyway, and I don't think a movie taking place entirely in a basement would be getting an IMAX release. There's obviously more than what the trailer is letting out.

[The Brain]

Nights in Rodanthe is on TV.

James Franco... the doctor??!?

[celedhring]

The Martian - well done, although a bit flat in my opinion. But this genre doesn't really do it for me. I found the NASA shenanigans far more interesting than the actual survival stuff.

Also Damon's character is annoyingly smart. Did Ide write about this film?

Finally a movie where the highly trained people sent on important space missions act like highly trained people sent on important space missions.
