TV/Movies Megathread

[The Larch]

I recently got into Parks & Recreation. Once you're done with the draggy first season you start finding gold nuggets everywhere.

Ron Swanson is an American treasure.

[Sheilbh]

It's a great show and I definitely agree that Ron Swanson is a hero for us all.

[Josephus]

I hope it's the last year of Revenge.  I want to see how it ends, but I can't stand it anymore.

ratings are pretty poor. May not even make it to the end

[Eddie Teach]

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978).  Delightful as always.  Way better than, say, The French Connection, or The Conversation.

Those movies could have definitely used some extra-terrestrials.

[Savonarola]

Third or fourth best movie made before I was born.

What are the first two or three movies made before you were born?

[Savonarola]

Caught The Goddess on TCM Silent Movie Sundays.  1934 Silent Chinese flick about a woman who goes into prostitution to make money to keep her son alive and aiming for a better life.  I found it quite a good watch.  Have you seen it yet, Sav?  I'd definitely recommend it.

No, I haven't.  It looks interesting; I'll see if I can download it.

Mrs MIM just watched Nosferatu. I can't comment on the experience, as I was in the other room watching something else, but she seemed intrigued by the 1920s silent movie experience. This would be a thing I would subject a date to if my circumstances were different.

What's the point of a spoiler if you don't indicate what the spoiler is for?

They deserve it. It fell apart early in Season 2 and I gave it up midway through when it was clear there was no hope of recovery.

Flash Gordon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, third place with The Invisible Man had been a two-way contest with The General, but it's now a three-way with Rope.

[Ed Anger]

Wait...Flash Gordon.

[The Brain]

Young people suck.

[Ideologue]

It's pure cinema.

[Ed Anger]

After the princess gets whipped, I wipe my wang off and pull up my pants.

[The Brain]

It's pure cinema.

Oh the problem isn't the movie. It's you. You're young.
