"It belongs in a museum" is gold, though.  I dunno if that even counts as cheesy.

When it's repeated as frequently as it was in as short a time span, it does.

Caught a snip of Entourage last night.  Easy to see why it went no where.

I actually don't mind the non-grounded stunts or cheesy dialogue. I actually didn't mind the refrigerator, for instance. It just felt tired, and phoned in, uninspired. Ford sleepwalking through the role was the symptom of the whole malaise.

Since we are bringing up The Force Awakens, even with all the recycled bits there was more spark in the new characters than anything in the Crystal Skull.

Ford aside (and maybe John Boyega aside), I can't get on board with that.

It was alright, more like a three or four episode arc of the show than a movie though. Definitely not worth paying 8 bucks to see.

Now, Hyde might have been interesting...

Remember my friend that did that film about corpse raping? The film has been leaked on the net ahead of its DVD release and it has been downloaded 2 million times in Phillipines  :lol:
Thanks.  I'll add this to the place I don't want to go.   :yuk:

The Man in the high castle, season 1.  Pretty good.  It took until the very last of the first season for me to decide if I would watch season 2, but now, I'm hooked :)


One question:
[spoiler]Is Hitler the Man in the High Castle?  He lives in a castle, very high, he has lots of movies, he seems to know a lot of things about individuals, like Heydrich betraying him, Rudolph losing his faith in the Reich...  Could it be that he himself makes the movie to keep his people busy chasing after a resistance that his more preoccupied about passing around movies than destabilizing the Reich's infrastructre or eliminating key personnel and exposing traitors in his own ranks along the way?  He is supposedly a sick old man, yet the only time we see him in person, he doesn't so at all.  Lots of mysteries there and some inter dimensional travels too.[/spoiler]

[Spoiler]My gut says no but then they have really just used book as a source of inspiration so I suppose anything is possible. [/spoiler]

[spoiler]With the ending, I wasn't sure if Hitler was supposed to be TMITHC, or the Trade Minister dude was.  After all, apparently he can meditate his way into inter-dimensional travel.  :P[/spoiler]

Fast and the Furious 9 and 10 (8 was already in the works) announced.  :bleeding:

the series is good, but the characters from the resistance are so stupid it breaks my fun.  Of course, they ain't real, hardened resistance fighters, but still, sometimes...

The Nazi family is fun to watch, the dilemna they will face, but without that inter dimensional mystery hinted by the newsreel, I would have lost any interest to the show by now.

Anyone else watching Billions on Showtime?

Eh.
There's a lot to like but IMO they leaned too far on the pulp side
