Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Greenberg was bad as well. The main character was just too loathsome. No redeeming qualities whatsoever and he wasn't entertaining.

 

[duba169]

Yeah but I know people who act like him so I found it funny.

 

[mronegative]

Awake is killing Wilmer Valderrama away from me really being interested in what they're doing with it.

I thought those couple episodes of Lone Star (same creator) had a lot of promise.

And yeah...I liked a couple points Greenberg made, but there wasn't enough of an in for people who weren't like him. Too much time with only unlikeable characters...Young Adult's problem too.

Home with the sniffles. Prob gonna catch this portlandia marathon in between the Knicks game. That show grew on me I didn't like it t first. The finale looks good

Hoooooooooooooooly !!+%.

Just watched Hobo.

Damn.

That was a fun-+#! ride.

During the film I started to question, "Wait, they're letting a dude run around with a shotgun in a hospital?"

Then I realized, "Right! I'm watching Hobo with a Shotgun."

Loved it from opening to closing credits. It was amazing. The visuals and the score was the best part, gotta love a throwback to the grindhouse style of filmmaking.

Planet Terror, Machete, Hobo, and Death Proof. Loved all four.

I realize that the BOOKS part of the thread title is the one most neglected but I started this thread in general. 
I think there are books on movies and tv!!

Probably going to watch The Descendants tonight in a theater that still has it.

Hoping it's better than Hugo, or I may never rely on y'all again for movie suggestions.

Ok, that's a lie.

I feel like we're pretty in tune with our preferences, and I think you'll love it.

Bryan Cranston says season five of Breaking Bad will kick off in July. That's earlier than was generally expected, isn't it?

 

[duba169]

the decedents was great

and im not a big clooney fan

cant get over watcing malcom after breaking bad. that show is so underrated and so is he as an acroe

 

[mronegative]

That's in-line with where they started last year. I'm hyped.

and Ska..........Descendants is gonna kick you in the gut.

 

[CP1708]

Anyone watching this Palin movie right now? It's fantastic. And Julianne Moore is related to Palin in real life, has to be.

agreed, easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen

 

[venom lyrix]

watched Take Shelter today, some really compelling scenes. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are so great in their craft. The movie it self drags at times, but the visual effects added with Shannon's dramatic performance makes it a movie people should check out.

I think Season 4 premiered in June last year so not really that early.

I'm about 3 episodes into Homeland; great show.

Pleasantly surprised to see Anna from V topless in one of the early scenes in the Pilot.

Looking forward to the rest of the season.

 

[mronegative]

Homeland

man, waiting every week for it

that show doesn't disappoint.

oh and...sad to say but Bad Teacher > Young Adult.

 

[venom lyrix]

just finished The Rum Diary...pretty awesome. Didn't expect it to be as funny as it was. And Giovanni Ribisi was tremendous, may be his best performance of his career, one of the under rated actors today.

Depp needs to do more serious roles like this, stop with the make up and stupid shenanigans

 

[darthska]

The Descendants was phenomenal.

So bold, the reality of the storyline, the comic relief... and Clooney killed it.

Thanks, guys. And you were right, MrO, that was definitely a tough watch.

 

[japanair21]

Screw you for not liking Hugo.

Next time go take your kids to see it in theaters.

I know that anyone that saw it in theaters will agree with me it was one of the best theatrical experiences they've had in ages. AGES.

Those surprise movies are the best

I watched Beginners tonight.

The Descendants Beginners was phenomenal.

So bold, the reality of the storyline, the comic relief... and Clooney Plummer killed it.

McGregor did as well. A little too self-defeatist for me to love the character writing as a whole, but still solid. Melanie Laurent...

Overall, the movie did a great job. I have no idea how a movie about a lonely guy who hates himself is so interesting, but it is.
8/10. Wish I could go back and edit my movie votes.

 

[big j 33]

Beginners was one of my favorites from last year. Just a well made movie.

Epic.

Rick pullled the okey-doke on Shane.

Carl's involvement was nicely done as well.

 

[mronegative]

Missed The Announcement for Walking Dead.

only regret is not waiting until last week to watch this season.

Amazing. Check out Recount too. Same writer and director and also about a Pres. election.
