astr0creep Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 DOCTOR WHO! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I mentioned it already but it's so good it's worth another mention. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Dark_Raven Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 Starbuck in the new one is one of my favorite characters... I love girls who could snap me in two <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Boomer is teh sexy, too: smart, strong women. mmmmm. And, Yes, gorramit!, after watching the "extras" on the BSG miniseries (i.e. the making of featurette), my cherished memories of the original series had their rose-tinting cruelly stripped. I watched the series again, then went out and bought the first season. And the writing gets much, much better towards the end of the first season ... so much so that I was pleasantly affirmed and even occassionally surprised with the plot ... and now I might have to go and buy the second series ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Lee Adama aka Jamie Bamber Show me a thing or two fly boy. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Musopticon? Posted October 6, 2006 Posted October 6, 2006 The Three Hundred I really don't understand how there's no thread about this. It's Frank Miller ffs, I'd think there'd at least be a couple of hate topics about or whinings of ahistoricality. For what it's worth, this is gonna be one the " kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds

Pop Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Scorsese pwns <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, but you know they're going to pass him over again this year. This is certainly better than Gangs or the Aviator. I've heard some say it's better than Goodfellas. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
metadigital Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 Martin Scorsese (5 nominations, 0 wins):Nominated: The Aviator (2004), Gangs of New York (2002), GoodFellas (1990), The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), Raging Bull (1980) clickie OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Pidesco Posted October 7, 2006 Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Scorcese wasn't even nominated for Taxi Driver. The Academy is laughable. I think Rocky won that year (1976/7?).

Diogo Ribeiro Posted October 8, 2006 Posted October 8, 2006 I'm surprised nobody has mentioned <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That image is awesome. Where's it from? Not that I care, I'm stealing it anyway. Since I'm working afternoons I only catch night shows, and Portugania is pretty crappy when it comes to show schedules. Basically the only shows I watch now are: House, M.D. - the medical gibberish the characters exchange between each other is wasted on the likes of me, so I'm glad they sometimes explain in layman's terms what actually is happening ("quick, give him 20ccs of plestopornamignhuloiopeanduemoxiecyclotroniciacide - or he'll tell amish jokes for the rest of the episode!"); but I can't help loving Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leaonard so that basically is why I watch it. The Shield - been following this one almost religiously. great drama series and pretty much one of the best cop shows ever, even those I haven't seen. Michael Chiklis rocks long and hard. Here in Portugistan, I think it's around the ending of the 2nd season. 24 - Jack Bauer, man. Jack Bauer. I'm also trying to get glimpses of Help Me and Carnivale.

Musopticon? Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Yeah, I was thinking the same. Explain. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Archmonarch Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Carnivale. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely awesome. My only complaint is that it was canceled before anything is really explained. Still, 2 great seasons! And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had
Musopticon? Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Shiri Oh my god, Korean action splatter, probably the most unintentionaly hilarious film ever. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

Still, 2 great seasons! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sing it loud, sistah!!! Actually if you do some digging on the internet you can pretty much fill in the blanks up to the point where the series regrettably ends. I wish I had the link handy, but I found a site where they pretty much sum up the whole avatar/Omega business in ways people can actually understand. It's still one of the most original shows ever made, IMO. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Oerwinde Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 Taxi Driver wasn't very good, thats why. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm sorry, what?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was boring, the characters were unlikable, and there was no plot. Not a good movie. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
metadigital Posted October 9, 2006 Posted October 9, 2006 So stories that deal with unattractive concepts and unlikeable anti-heroes aren't fit for films? What a grey life you must lead. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
jodo kast 5 Posted October 10, 2006 Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) What I DO hate is Battlestar Galactica. It's nothing like the originals, too much drama, and they replaced some of the named male characters with females.... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would female leads bother you? It is now standard procedure for women to be deployed in the frontline, so it makes sense that our fiction mirrors societal realities. Also, good, strong female leads are much more interesting to watch than lots of men running around pretending to be space-heroes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's not the females and them fighting in the war against the Cylons that bother me, it's just that they changed the character's genders and literally a ripped it off of the old BSG. They couldve put forward alittle effort and easily made new names for the female characters. That and I just don't like the storyline, it was more fit for the old one than the current BSG. They couldve atleast made a new storyline(As I remember, the BSG crew actually did find Earth, but decided against populating it for fear that the Cylons would follow their trail and literally decimate Earth, since our technology is far more primitive than theirs and even one Battlestar couldn't defend against an entire fleet of Cylon Base Ships, which the Cylons would most likely send to Earth for a full scale invasion, though I think in one episode of the old version, they were pretty much destroyed in a big battle.) or new enemies(A mutinous crew and fake human androids Cylons? Come on...). Edited October 10, 2006 by jodo kast 5
