GtrPlyr Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Oh man, you are in for a treat if you watch season 2. Just laughably bad. Like an old Sid and Marty Krofft TV show. Just awful but I kept watching anyways. Seconded. Due to the time I've invested watching season 1, I feel some sick loyalty to see how this plays out, despite how exponentially worse it seems to get from episode to episode. An honorable mention goes to the actress playing Big Jim's wife, who has had some of the most laughably horrible moments in the series. Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I think I've watched the Inherent Vice trailer 10 times now. I can't wait for this movie. Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Tatlock Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 First episode of the new series last night. Very stylish. Like a 1920s Sin City, but better all round.Excellent soundtrack for Nick Cave/White Stripes/PJ Harvey fans. Link to post Share on other sites

smells like flowers Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Saw "Tammy" on a plane the other day. Laugh-out-loud funny, which is a wee bit embarrassing when you're surrounded by strangers. Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 We're watching the last episode of season 1 True Detective TONITE! Yip yip!! Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ida. I don't see too many foreign films. I reall enjoued this one. I think I heard of it via a Jason Isbell tweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I saw Ida over the summer in a very large art-house that seats 1,000, but there were only about a dozen of us there. Somehow, that empty cavern added an extra layer to the film's spare, grey, austere vibe. Link to post Share on other sites

NoJ Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Saw "Snowpiercer" and "Gone Girl" over the weekend. Excellent stuff, Ben Affleck was barely a douche and the Gone Girls haircut in the final third of the flick was legendary. Link to post Share on other sites

I liked it ok, but did not live up to the hype, IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites
lost highway Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 My wife and I have finally caught on to Dextet via netflix. It's not in my grade A tv category (the wire, breaking bad, louie, walking dead, orange is the new black) but it is a consistently interesting grade B. We're also planning on going to see Birdman and Interstellar on the big screen. We saw The Skeleton Twins last month and I really liked it; good blend of drama and comedy.

lost highway Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think it's fantastic. It's exhausting, depressing and brutal, but the characters are so vivid after the first couple seasons that you really care what happens to them. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 When I was a young boy, about 6, I had the misfortune to see Night of the Living Dead in its entirety. That event scarred me so thoroughly that I can not handle zombie movies at all so this cultural fascination with zombies the last decade or so has been a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm under the impression that the show has improved since then?I think it gets better after the 1st season. Kinda lags at the farm, but for the most part, pretty good. I think the best way to watch the show is not to think of it as a zombie show, but a show about how different types of people handle the end of the world. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Me and the wife watched "Inside Llewyn Davis" last nite. My review is a firm 'meh". Compared to other Cohen Bros films, I was ready to bail half way thru. The Cohens have been tripping on their shoe laces the last decade or so (True Grit gets a pass).

Lammycat Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 The Night Stalker, starring Billy Madison's dad as Kolchak, was a good one to give you the creeps as a kid. I think it ran for only a season or two but it seemed like it was on forever. Link to post Share on other sites
