TV/Movies Megathread

[Ed Anger]

I know this is heresy, but I was thoroughly unimpressed by Mad Men. Or any of those AMC shows.

It's the lamest heresy since the Union Church. Quite a few people are thoroughly unimpressed by Mad Men.

That said, Christina Hendricks is babelicious in that series. I wish Paul Kinsey would come back and fuck up her marriage with that newt. The whole unfinished business between him and Joan made the first season interesting.

So what goodness is starting next week? Off my head there's Dexter, Boardwalk Empire, Walking Dead and...I'm sure one more.
I've heard good things of some thingy about a dude who returns from Iraq as some sort of sleeper agent too.

Mad Men is awesome.
Though yes, Hendricks...ahh....I feel like I shouldn't be attracted her yet....I so am.

[Grey Fox]

Boardwalk started last Sunday. One more week for Walking Dead IIRC.

Homeland, is the sleeper agent drama, it scheduled after Dexter on Sunday starting Oct 9.

What did GoT blow its budget on?

The gate through the Wall of ice, seeing the horses going through that, the skirmish with the Others, and the chase through the highlands for the deserter, all in the first episode.  More action than in the rest of the series

[Darth Wagtaros]

Just what is Mad Men about?

You are tearing me apart, Wag.

Oh hi Drakken.

Lets hope the second has more stuff happening.
I felt so cheated with the complete skipping of the battles at the end

I saw "Drive" last night.  I really enjoyed it, art house violent flick.

Why shouldn't you? She certainly makes something in the more primitive part of our brains to click.

Oh hi Drakken.

I did not hit her, it's not true! It's bullshit! I did not hit her! I did *not*. Oh hi Wag.

Yeah, I saw that a couple weeks ago.  I quite liked it.

[Malthus]

I saw The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec the other day - very silly but fun. Sort of like Tintin, if Tintin was a hott straight Parisian woman circa 1910 rather than a gay Belgian boy circa 1935. 

The actress they had playing Adèle was tres yummy.

Finished Star Wars Episodes 1 to 6 on Blu-Ray.
Good news first:  Aside from the No - Nnoooooo from Vader in Ep.6, Lucas hasn't massacred these movies than they were.
Bad news: Jar Jar Binks is not dead.  There's still a fucking blue midget elephant singing/dancing/whatever.  People on Coruscant are still seen toppling the Palpatine statue and celebrating in joy wich kinda contradicts the extended universe, and logic, as the Empire is still sorta alive on Coruscant with a massive troop presence in the capital and certainly officers not ready to let go of their power.  Oh, yes, one of the most powerful crime lord in the galaxy still lets Han Solo walks on his tail without consequences.

On the plus sides, all the special effects were re-done and they look great, the colors are brighter than ever, the space battles are incredible and the soundtrack is 6.1 DTS on all movies.

Fuck the extended universe.

Fuck the extended universe.

Most of the books are very good.
And don't tell me you never enjoyed a Star Wars game?
