Amanda Seyfried has signed on as the female lead in 'Ted 2'. http://imdb.to/1pl0o92

I'm not sure I think Ted 2 is a good idea. I liked the first one a lot, but it seems to me to be a concept that will get worn out pretty quickly. I could see this going the way of the Hangover sequels. Hopefully, Seth McFarlane will prove me wrong.

Seth is on his way to being the king of not sure this is a good idea.

I'll say outright this sounds like a bad idea. Didn't know this was going down but w/e. Hopefully Wahlberg doesn't come back for this. I'm guessing Amanda is Ted's love interest.

Watched A Clockwork Orange the other day because I know it's somewhat of a classic. Can't say I liked it too much. The constant background music was kinda annoying to me. But I will say that it had a decent story line though.

I think Disconnect is the next movie on my list to watch

For people who like documentaries I would recommend u watch Exit Through the Gift Shop. It stuck with me for some reason.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Forgot to add this one... The first time I saw this I was like what the heck did I just watched but I liked it. Very genre bending.






Edit - Also speaking of Mark Dacascos, he narrated this History Channel doc on Samuai's that was decent. He was a little mellow dramatic but for those that don't know too much about Samurais & the Bushido code, it's a nice introduction. I really liked the part talking about sword makers at the 42 min mark.

 

[knowledgebones72]

Bruh.

Y'all need to go see that Lenny Cooke documentary right now.

RIGHT NOW.

You're welcome.

Watch The Epic Knife Fight Scene That Kicks Off Hannibal Season 2

Just when I thought I was done with this show

Bryan Cranston To Play Serial Killer In Errol Morris’ Holland, Michigan



Well, he’s done with Walter White and he’s not Lex Luthor, but Bryan Cranston isn’t totally done with playing villains on screen just yet. The Wrap reports the Breaking Bad alum has been cast opposite Naomi Watts and Edgar Ramirez in Errol Morris’ dark comedy Holland, Michigan.

Described as a “darkly humorous suburban thriller,” Holland, Michigan will see Watts as a teacher who begins to suspect that her mild-mannered husband (Cranston) may secretly be a serial killer, even as she begins an affair with a man (Ramierz) with his own violent past.

Documentary filmmaker Morris is making his feature directorial debut on this, which sounds sorta Fargo-esque, and it certainly seems like Cranston should nail it, having spent 5 seasons living a criminal double life on Breaking Bad. Though I’m sensing this character may be creepier rather than badass.

Seth Rogen And Even Goldberg To Bring The Video Game Console Wars Of the 90s To The Big Screen


1170481 - The End Of The World

Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg seem to be making a transition from comedies to full-on geekdom (remember, they’re also doing the Preacher series) as Book Trade reports the two are looking to write and direct an adaptation of non-fiction book Console Wars, about the 1990s competition between start-up game console company Sega and industry giant Nintendo.

Rogen and Goldberg will be adapting the screenplay from CONSOLE WARS: Sega, Nintendo and the Battle that Defined a Generation, the Blake Harris book that will be published this August. Scott Rudin will produce the film.

The book’s publisher, Toby Mundy, says:

Blake Harris’s amazing book has all the narrative drama of the work of Michael Lewis and Ben Mezrich. It should appeal to gamers and non-gamers alike.

Mezrich, of course, wrote The Accidental Billionaires about the founders of Facebook, which ultimately became David Fincher’s (and Rudin’s) The Social Network, while Lewis wrote Moneyball, also produced by Rudin. Sensing a theme here.

Look forward to both.

Is Almost Famous good?

 

[big j 33]

It's excellent.

It's one of my favorites and I was planning on watching it again after PSH's death.

 

[rck3sactown]

'12 Years a Slave' starts... now.

Be back later with my impressions.

Starting it up right now

I'm nervous

[rck3sactown]

12 Years a Slave lived up to the hype for sure.

Michael Fassbender and Chiwetel Ejiofor put on amazing performances

 

[mronegative]

It's excellent.

It's one of my favorites and I was planning on watching it again after PSH's death.

I never watched it, because Kate Hudson, but yeah...I kept hearing people bring it up cuz of PSH.

Is it just his part that's good, or the whole thing?

...

and 12 Years was pretty amazing. I gotta watch again, because so much of it was not what I expected the film to be at. all.

 

[big j 33]

The whole thing is good.. I'm not a Kate Hudson fan by any means, but she's great in it.

It's just a cool movie.

 

[awwsome]

About a quarter through Disconnect. My god this movie is amazing.

Just finished. Wow .. Just wonderful acting throughout. Nice to see Skarsgard in this film, really liked what he did in Generation Kill.

I didn't even hear about this movie til someone posted it's title a couple days ago.

Makes me wonder what films I've missed out on

Just peeped because of all of y'all talking about it and was thoroughly impressed.

Jason Bateman was really great, Paula Patton too. Really loved the Slo-mo/moment of realization scene at the end but many great shots throughout.

Even Marc Jacobs was good

Surprised the movie didn't get better reviews, it was a bit predictable in some aspects but not enough to take away from the overall film

 

[lawdog1]

The whole thing is good.. I'm not a Kate Hudson fan by any means, but she's great in it.

It's just a cool movie.

Agree. My personal favorite Cameron Crowe movie. Everyone is good in it. Even the kid who plays the lead, who isn't a great actor, fits his part well. Frances McDormand and Jason Lee stand out for me too , along with PSH.

*Edit - another thing that adds to my enjoyment level with Almost Famous is that a lot of it is based on Crowe's real experiences as a rock journalist, following bands around. Like, some of the stuff that happens in the film are recreations or at least approximations of stuff that went on with Led Zepplin, etc. Since I'm a fan of some of those bands, its cool to see.

 

[mastamind033]

Almost Famous is one of my top 5 favorite films of all time. Every time I catch it on television, I always tune in no matter what part is on. It's easily Kate Hudson's best part to date, it's actually disappointing to see how good she is in this and just not do anything else worth seeing for the rest of her career. I'd add Crudup as a standout in this film too along with PSH and McDormand. Anybody who is a fan of 70's rock should love this film and the part playing the Elton John song is a scene that's always just stuck with me.

 

[venom lyrix]

WATCH: First Full Trailer for Godzilla, starring Bryan Cranston and Aaron Taylor-Johnson. It's the best trailer in a long time - http://wp.me/p2CCWq-3u0

 

[CP1708]

I've never seen Almost Famous. Never interested me to sit down and check it out.

 

[lawdog1]

Yep. I can't hear Tiny Dancer without immediately thinking of that scene in the movie.
