TV/Movies Megathread

[The Brain]

Paradise Lost 2. The stepdad does come across as a bit... differently innocent.

[Tonitrus]

[spoiler]How where the turning against him?  They were just telling him to stop beating the shit out of the guy.  [/spoiler]

[spoiler]it wasn't a one sided fight and in his mind at the time, he was trying to protect the settlement, and his prior conversations with the mayor were more to the effect that he'd had to leave rather than enforce justice[/spoiler]

I may revise my opinion...(warning, spoiler from comics ahead) [spoiler]it seems that the end of the episode is one of those things just about straight from the comics...with Michonne slugging him more to stop him from digging himself in a deeper hole than anything.  Just part of the events leading to the Ricktatorship.[/spoiler]

I'm probably the only person on this forum who never watched X-Files.

I never watched it either. It looked lame.

You need to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Maybe if Scully's eyes covered half her face and Mulder was a giant robot with a sword, maybe then he'd have liked it better. 

[Syt]

I still need to watch the last 6 and a half seasons of X-Files.

I still need to watch the last 6 and a half seasons of X-Files.

Why?

[Syt]

Because I haven't done so yet and still want to.

[Martinus]

(Re) watching tv shows after so many years (especially if you originally watched them as a kid) can be painful.

[Syt]

Well, since I watched the first two and a half seasons a few months ago and still enjoyed much of it I'm not overly worried about that in this case.

Incidentally the first script I ever wrote was an X-Files fan script when I was 16 

Mulder & Scully trapped in an elevator porno?

I honestly can't remember much about it. I also tried to write it in English as a way to learn the language.

Alphaville at the movie theater (the forty-minute drive one) tonight...

Whoa, fantastic even by 60s-Godard standards.  Cries out for immediate rewatching, with closer attention to the notions of language and time the film puts across. 

And what a joy to see something for the first time on the big screen, especially going into it with relatively few preconceptions as I did.  (Though I'm still jealous of my date, who saw Contempt for the first time in a theater.)

[celedhring]

I'm the opposite of you; my first watching of "Alphaville" was a shitty VHS tape, in French with no subtitles, back in the 90s. I missed most of the stuff in the film, yet it still awed me. Fantastic movie.

Bah! Nothing like watching a movie on a 13 inch laptop with earbuds.

Man, I hate those ear buds! They barely fit and it seems like they want to fall out all the time. I have other ear pieces with an attachment that wraps around your ear so they stay secure. A bit expensive though.
