Raithe Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Dark Matter. Starting out to look like a nice little sci-fi. Quirky that it's a tv show adapted from a comic mini-series that was originally written to be a tv show... Six people wake up on a starship with no memories of their past lives, and find the ship stocked with guns. Complications then ensue. 3 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
majestic Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 And people think Golf is boring There are a terrifying amount of golfers who die due to cardiac arrest each year. It's not just boring, it is dangerously boring. No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

It has the same feel and sense of fun. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
BruceVC Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 I see the next season of True Detective has been released ....oh yeah "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Gfted1 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 Dark Matter Not too bad so far although I find the crew personalities to be a little cliché. Forged In Fire Terrible and the "mastersmith's" didn't strike me as all that masterful. Ill give it one more episode to salvage itself. 1 "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Hurlshort Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Incredible Burt Wonderstone - My quest for more Vegas flicks led me here. I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, and for most of the movie that expectation was met. It started off different than expected, two young boys who are bullied form a friendship over magic tricks. That was a good start, but then it spun into stupid humor with Steve Carell being oblivious. That went on for too long and I actually gave up on it, but then the next night I went back after a couple beers and the story changed a bit. Alan Arkin really changed the tone of the film, and it become a more endearing bit about a magician recapturing his enjoyment. The end was actually pretty great, I laughed more at the final scene than anywhere else, and so I felt that the payoff was worth the watch. Also, Jim Carrey really just exists on the sidelines. He is somewhat entertaining, but the payoff for his character is also pretty funny. Really, it was anot a bad watch with a couple of beers in you. edit: dangit, this isn't the movie thread!

Raithe Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 edit: dangit, this isn't the movie thread! Okay, you can admit to it... It was more than a couple of beers and that's why you got the wrong thread... 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Oerwinde Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Killjoys isn't bad. I like Dark Matter better, but the world killjoys puts forward so far is more interesting. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

" another series about a group of people who have no idea who they are and how they got there " The only difference is its set in space, I have never been a big Sci-Fi fan and for me to watch this genre it has to be at least inventive.

Amentep Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Rip Patrick Macnee. Going to try and squeeze in a few avengers eps tonight or tomorrow 1 I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
Nonek Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 It's absolutely depressing how many of the early Avengers episodes are lost, RIP Mr Macnee. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
Amentep Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) Introduction to an Avengers 50th anniversary @ Chichester University from Mr. Macnee in 2011. Ended up watching "The Cybernauts" and "Dead Man's Treasure". Sadly I don't have copies of any of the existing Cathy Gale episodes or the Tara King season.

Raithe Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Watched through the 10 episodes of Dig over the weekend. Slow paced beginning but managed to grab me with a nicely tense atmosphere with that mix of age old biblical conspiracies twisting and turning, started with a murder mystery and an FBI agent stationed in Jerusalem. Apparently part of the initial premise was that it would all be shot in and around Jerusalem, but the Israel-Gaza conflict last year caused the production to shift out to other places after only getting half the episodes done. Makes me wonder how much they had to change things for that. I will say it was interesting to see Jason Isaacs take a lead role as a hero, and not as some villain or supporting jerk character. Included were a good supporting cast, such as Anne Heche, David Costabile, Richard E Grant, and Regina Taylor. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Oerwinde Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 Has anyone watched sense8? The first episode outside the first and last 5 minutes was so... Not good. I love the Wachowskis so I want to give it another try but not if every episode is like the first. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
ShadySands Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Sense8 is all over the place but I still kinda liked it. The body switching parts are generally the best part of the show but that doesn't really start to happen until later on Edit - I'd say your enjoyment depends on your patience with the dense and convoluted plot Edit2 - or if you're bothered by a lot of gay/trans stuff Edited June 29, 2015 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21
ManifestedISO Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 Ninja Warrior, Michelle Warnky, great run. Awesome core strength. The other guy, too, the 56-year old competitor, all the way to the warped wall ... "your AARP card has been revoked!" Can't wait for next week, see some uniforms punish the course. 2 All Stop. On Screen.
Amentep Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 ANW is an awfully fun show to watch. Although I felt bad for some of the contestants who ended up being out due to some unfortunate blunders.

Nonek Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I really can't recommend "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" enough, this is really a quite charming little series in the vein of the BBC of old.

ManifestedISO Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Side-watching James Patterson's 'Zoo' story. Seems there is a straw-colored lens filter much like the green one in The Matrix, only gold. Can't tell if the show is ridiculous or just silly. Fortunately, earlier, they showed the one episode of The Flash I missed. All Stop. On Screen.
