Arbor Gold Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I thought there was a thread but I can't find it so I'm posting here to remind everyone that season 2 of Rectify starts tonight on Sundance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithanos Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hmm Rectify. Will look for that thanks. Watched 22 Jump Street to kill some time and found it not a complete waste - disengage and enjoy.Then I watched What We Do In The Shadows. Was easy to like, being a kiwi, but then who wouldn't like a mockumentary about vampires flatting in Wellington? Look out for the werewolves, they're hilarious. "mind the language. remember? We're werewolves not swearwolves" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howdyphillip Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Watched 22 Jump Street to kill some time and found it not a complete waste - disengage and enjoy. I found it to be complete garbage all except the scene in the office between Ice Cube, Channing Tatum, and Jonah Hill. I laughed at that. It really surprised me because I found the original movie surprisingly fresh, well written and funny. It was as if the writers took out everything that was good about the first movie and replaced it with homosexual relationship jokes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Antony Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Caught up on Hannibal. Liked it a lot. One of my favorite shows on TV now for sure. Only a few others I prefer. Next up is Vikings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Watched Wet Hot American Summer again recently. One of my all time faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddler Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Currently watching Buffy on netflix. Since previously I have seen the first 2 seasons and the last 2 seasons, I'm looking forward to the middle bits, lol. Also sitting here right this moment watching I love the 2000s (love list/countdown shows, DVR them all the time lol ) and wondering, shouldn't they have waited a little longer? That and how did they not even touch on September 11th at all, I mean it wasn't a good moment, but it was still huge that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derfel Cadarn Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Watching season 2 of House of Cards. Which inspired me to dig out my DVD of the UK original. Now watching for the first time, its season 2, To Play the King. Francis (Prime minister): Achieved my ambition,. *sighs* bored now...Elizabeth (his wife): You need a challenge.Francis: Yes! I'll troll someone. But who?Elizabeth: The king...Francis: Yes, the king! I'll make him my bitch for the hell of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Mac Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Watched a film called Jamesy Boy. Not bad, decent acting. It had Mary Louise Parker, Ving Rames, James Woods, mixed with some relative unknowns. Had some Wire actors too, which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen of Whores Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Watched Lone Survivor last night. Better than I expected, honestly. The sound effects were among the best I've ever heard, and the movie is apparently very loyal to the true story. I'm not much of a biography or true-story book reader, but after seeing this I really wanna go out and buy it. A very intense and powerful movie, although it does sometimes get a bit too Hollywood, especially at the end (which the ending was apparently completely different from the real life situation).

Theda Baratheon Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Re-watching Johnny Guitar, gods - this film is fantastic. The script is electric. "I'm going to kill you" claims the hyper-shrill sexually repressed arch nemesis of Joan Crawford's commanding and respected Vienna. "I know" answers Vienna matter of factly; "if I don't kill you first" the stakes are so high in this film, the emotions so grand, characters so melodramatic, the set so minimal that it's an almost perfect piece of Theatre, it's an opera with no singing.

Greywolf2375 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 He Got Game. I realized I had heard so much, seen so much...but never actually had seen the movie. I liked it...it was hoky in some places, stiff in others but I thought Allen did a great job not being an actor. His stiffness to me lent credit to him playing a teenager in a tough situation. Liked it a lot, now I need to see Basketball Diaries again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I watched Snowpiercer the other night and really enjoyed it. Chris Evans did some of the best acting I've seen from him and Tilda Swinton's character was awesome. It was an intriguing story, taking place entirely on the train, with some well shot action sequences. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I marathoned Carnivale over the last 2 weeks. Hell of a show and definitely the darkest I've ever seen. I watched season 1 a few years back and quit after, among other reasons, being creeped out with a particularly dark episode involving a mining camp. I'm glad I stuck through this time around because the story was quite fascinating and got more interesting in the second season. The rich complexity and planning of the mythology is evident from the first episode to the last. I certainly would be interested in seeing where they took the story and the characters in a third season and beyond (since the original plan was for 6 seasons). That said, the cootch-show stuff gave me the willies in most of their scenes. I don't think I could have filmed, acted or been involved in the production of any of it. And they constantly continued to find ways to make it more depraved. Creepy all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With Penny Dreadful ending next week, we've started watching Tyrant.... the pilot was pretty good..... just waiting on the Walking Dead.... we're near the end of binging Rome... not sure what we'll binge next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I finally got around to watching Masters of Sex, and it was fantastic. The first five episodes seemed to pack as much story as entire seasons of most shows. Can't wait for season 2. I saw that What About Bob? was available on netflix, and I had forgotten how funny that movie is. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tears of Lys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With Penny Dreadful ending next week, we've started watching Tyrant.... the pilot was pretty good..... just waiting on the Walking Dead.... we're near the end of binging Rome... not sure what we'll binge next I saw the pilot of "Tyrant" too. While the premise is intriguing, the characters are written a bit ham-fistedly. I know they're trying to squeeze a lot into one episode to capture people's interest, but I feel it could have been done more subtly. I didn't see the revelation at the end coming at all - silly me. Another show I'm obsessed with is "Naked and Afraid." While "Survivor" is still a show I enjoy, N&A is Survivor on steroids. They're currently running a "behind the scenes" on N&A and it was excellent. Apparently, they have TONS of folks just waiting to strip down and be tortured by the elements, insects, and starvation.

Ramsay B. Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I watched the movie The Rover the other day. It's in select theatres around the states and stars Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson. I was excited for this because David Michod wrote and directed this and he made Animal Kingdom which is a classic in my eyes. It was pretty good but very bleak so that might turn many off. Pearce was great per usual but Pattinson was the pleasant surprise. I was kind of turned off when I heard he was in it but he really did a great job playing a difficult character. It was a decent, slow-burn type post-apocalyptic thriller with some moments of brutal violence and a slight twist ending. I recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Targdust Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 You can ask that about any reality shows not named Cops.This one seems especially insulting to the intelligence of viewers.The beauty being no Amish can be like "hey that's BS and insulting to us!" Because then you can reply "you are Amish! Why are you watching TV!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
