Watched the first ep and enjoyed. I'm starting to watch way too many TV shows now.

Started watching Quarantine on Netflix. Shaky-cam style and 18 minutes before the first violence isn't making a good impression on me so far. Pick, pick, pick....

 

havent seen it, but did see the movie original version - [Rec]

was quite awesome

Insomnia. The Norwegian version.

 

Is it normal you Nordics start touching stranger woman as you wish?

That's disgusting Morgoth. Why would anyone, Norwegian or not, do such a thing?

 

 

Everyone knows Nordic women don't shave their armpits, legs, or snatch!

Come to Scandinavia, it's like the new Brazil..

2012. Special Effects was amazing. It looked like they put every disaster movie that's been made in the last 20 years and put it all into one movie. (Dante's Peak, the Tsunami tidal waves from Deep Impact/Armageddon only BIGGER, Day After Tomorrow, etc). It wasn't like previous disaster movies where you sit through 90 minutes of dialogue to see 5 minutes of special effects at the end... This was special effects all the way through! With my chinese girlfriend and her neice, they loved the chinese angle to the movie as well.

Transformer 2. Bought the DVD in the bargain bin. Not that great of a movie.

They don't need to. It grows like spun candy.

Gran Torino.

 

Why is Clint Eastwood so right about everything, like all the time?

Recently we've seen Peter's Friends, the new Star Trek film, and Wonder Woman. One of you glorious bastards suggested Wonder Woman and I have to say it was a nice little diversion, but not really my cuppa tea.

 

The same person suggested Carnivale, which is totally awesome and tubular and the wife and I watched disks 1 and 2 straight and are fervently waiting for the other disks. I'm going to be rightly pissed if the series ends after the first couple of seasons. My damned luck. Great so far, though. There are a couple of scenes that really struck me. The scene where the woman vomits money is disturbing but extremely well done. The first scene of the second episode in the cafe is awesome.

Sorry pal, but the story wrapped up at the end of season two for Carnivale. There's a small write up for what they had planned for season three on Wikipedia, I think.

 

Blame HBO, and maybe the general populace for not being able to grasp a somewhat unique show. But hey, at least Entourage keeps getting renewed!

I'm sick and tired of the shows I enjoy getting the axe. It used to be that I never watched tv because I didn't want to tailor my schedule to show times, but now that I can watch shows from the DVR/DVD, I watch a lot more tv and listen to music a little less.

 

Anyhow, now I'll have to look into Entourage. I just really enjoy the way the story is unfolding in Carnivale right now. A lot of shows try to be dark and gritty with a lot less to show for it, and the violence isn't even very graphic at all. Hell, it's disturbing without really any violence to speak of. It kind of reminds me of Twin Peaks except I can follow what the hell is going on in it. I tip my hat to you, sir. An excellent eye on your part, I say!

The Wrestler (2008) - Brutal and depressing as hell but worth a view for the two lead actors alone.

 

On and Entourage is awesome, hell Ari alone is worth watching the show Jeremy is brilliant!

Once its done make sure to check out the wikipedia articles. Theres a ridiculous amount of depth to the series that we don't even get to see because it got shut down. And apparently it didn't even get shut down because of low ratings, it was the same reason as Rome, each episode cost so much to make that it wasn't feasible to continue to make it.

I felt Rome wrapped up nicely, as did Deadwood. I think it actually would have been bad for them to continue any longer.

That was pure sarcasm about Entourage, BTW.

The Flight of the Phoenix - both original classic version and the more recent remake. The classic is still better, but the remake wasn't too bad, if you can overlook some silliness.

 

My Name Is Bruce - not as funny as I was hoping. The 1st 30 min. were *yawn*, the 2nd 3 min were ok, and the last 30 min. had some pretty good stuff. Lots of "inside" jokes peppered all throughout which made me chuckle. Very low budget and script was terrible, even for a parody/satire. Bruce Campbell is still adorably cranky & silly, tho.

Beowulf

 

Okay movie, but for some odd reason whenever someone said "Beowulf" I kept mentally correcting them with "Boromir".

 

Night at the Museum 2

 

Okay movie, and would have been worth a watch if only because of Amelia Earharts(Amy Adams) buttocks. Seriously guys, those were awesome.

Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) - Not bad portrayal of the attach on Pearl Harbor. Excellent special effects for it's time.

 

 

Interesting bit of trivia

Akira Kurosawa agreed to direct the Japanese part of the film only because he was told that David Lean was to direct the American part. This was a lie, David Lean was never part of the project. When Kurosawa found out about this, he tried to get himself fired from the production - and succeeded.

Ninja Assassin. One badass freaking movie. No acting, very little plot, just fighting. Lots of fighting. Take notes, movie industry. 10/10. Definitely Fenix approved.

Crank 2. Awesome and hilarious, but I can't help but feel bad for watching it, especially enjoying it. Constant action, violence, sex and completely, utterly, tasteless.

Gran Torino (2008) - You don't **** with Clint. And you know this MAN!

Terminator Salvation Directors Cut. Nice to see cut footage restored.

I saw the regular version yesterday, what did I miss?

Eight scenes - some new and some extended worth about 3 extra minutes

3 minutes in total?

 

I thought Directors cuts were pretty cool until they turned into something that studios actively plan for.
