TV/Movies Megathread

I personally think Prestige is one of Nolan's weakest - but that still makes it an ok film.

[Martinus]

Well, I like Michael Caine, court drama and Victorian/Edwardian suspense.

Speaking of the latter, Penny Dreadful is now on HBO GO in case anyone missed it. I am rewatching it and still find it fun.

Penny dreadful is on HBOgo overseas?

[The Brain]

Batman Begins is ridiculous.

There hasn't been much news about the new Fantastic Four movie — the only big news we really know is that Johnny Storm will be played by Michael B. Jordan, and thus has been race-swapped, which is fine because Jordan is pretty good at that whole acting thing. Toby Kebbell will be playing Doctor Doom in the upcoming film, but it has been revealed in an interview with the actor that the Fantastic Four's nemesis will be undergoing a much more drastic makeover than the Human Torch.

First off, his name is a little more believable in the real world — he's now Victor Domashev, as opposed to the corny Victor von Doom. Domashev is employed as a "very anti-social" programmer, but on blogging sites, his internet persona is "Doom." So, we can probably assume that somewhere along the way, Domashev is going to transform into his online persona. Considering he's an anti-social programmer, it's probably also safe to assume that he's no longer the leader of fictional country Latveria. We wouldn't be too surprised if the movie named his blog something related to the comic villain's home country.

Indeed, I'm convinced he wears Hanes and eats McDonalds.

Penny dreadful is on HBOgo overseas?

Yeah, right now. I watched it some time ago on... shall we say, a special website, but it just premiered on HBO in Poland.

Ok I enjoyed "Prestige". Perhaps too much explaining at the end but still enjoyable.

[mongers]

Hmm, Prestige must have completely pass me by. Is it worth watching? The trailer looks interesting and I am looking for an entertaining flick to watch today, as we have a public holiday.

The book's worth a read.

Batman Begins is ridiculous.

You're ridiculous.

[The Brain]

Batman Begins is ridiculous.

You're ridiculous.

Nah.

[Eddie Teach]

Batman Begins is ridiculous in the sense that all superhero comic book movies are ridiculous.

Personally, I liked it better than Dark Knight Rises.

[CountDeMoney]

Batman Begins is ridiculous.

You're ridiculous.

The only people who take themselves more seriously than Christopher Nolan are Christopher Nolan haters.

Ubik wouldn't make much of a supervillian.  Hell, Portugal can defeat him.
