TV/Movies Megathread

He's an intelligent, ambitious man who's not negotiating from a position of strength. Of course he's a weasel.

Against parties who obviously always play by the rules, no less.

Yep. I like Silence of Lambs, but absolutely love Manhunter. So the series appeals given that it's about Graham and Lecter.

I refuse to watch that ungodly remake.

Red Dragon? Really? Manhunter was OK, but it's really a product of the 80s. I don't think it held up as well. I like Red Dragon.I didn't mind Hannibal, either, but I agree that by this point, Hannibal was becoming a parody of itself,  and Hannibal Rising was a god awful mess.

'Enemy of the State' worth watching ?



I gave up on 'Diary of a Teenage Drama Queen' in around 3 minutes.

It's a decent thriller;  I recall being entertained.  Low B.

Yeah, it was this or a C+, both you, CdM and 11B4V called it right.

Why are we getting another Riddick film? Ugh.

I liked the first one where they crash on that planet where monsters come out during the eclipse. What was the 2nd about?

[Queequeg]

I haven't seen Mad Men, but I have seen Breaking Bad, so I disagree.

Yeah, I'd probably rate Mad Men down at #3 among AMC dramas. Best eye candy though.

You better fucking mean Rubicon. 

[Syt]

I love Mads Mikkelsen.

My favorite movie with him remains Adam's Apples.

Yep. I like Silence of Lambs, but absolutely love Manhunter. So the series appeals given that it's about Graham and Lecter.

Michael Mann is a personal favorite, but Silence is one of the best movies of the 90s.  William Petersen doesn't have Jodie Foster's chops, and I'd pretty gladly trade High 80s style for Demme's strangely intimate touch. 

[Eddie Teach]

You better fucking mean Rubicon.

1- Breaking Bad
2- Walking Dead
3- Mad Men
4/5- The Killing, Hell on Wheels
Got Bored and quit after a couple episodes- Rubicon
Awful, but would still watch before their reality offerings- The Prisoner

[Queequeg]

There is no way on earth we are watching the same The Walking Dead.  The plot holes alone would place it below Mad Men.

[Admiral Yi]

Awful, but would still watch before their reality offerings- The Prisoner

Duck Dynasty.  One episode.  You'll love it.

Pitch Black. Dumb. VD is a fifty percenter.

It rules.

Manhunter's the original (Brian Cox and William Petersen from To Live and Die in LA). Red Dragon's the remake and I agree.

Fixed your post.
I'll never understand how it took so long for him to break.

[Josquius]

The only real problem with Breaking Bad is that Walt's lost all bid for sympathy. At the beginning, you could root for the guy, even though you could see a lot of his flaws - hubris, etc - but now he's just a piece of shit, and I just keep hoping someone will whack him.

His transition from Walter White to Heisenberg is not supposed to be a necessarily sympathetic transition of character.  Tony Soprano wasn't.  Of course, you didn't have to witness Soprano's transition, as he was already there, already in the Bad Guy Zone.

Naturally, you would have a problem with that.  It's an element of your fahdizness.

My problem with Walter isn't that he's "bad". It's that he's a weasel.

hmm....kind of agree. I loved him when he first did the Heisenberg thing in an early series and took out the small time dealers. Now though....

[Liep]

I love Mads Mikkelsen.

This is true. The one of Anders Thomas Jensen's early 2000-movies that has aged the best.
