Relevant to our previous discussion. Sort of. |
Oh man, that was awesome.
|
The new South Park episode was stupid. The earlier one was really good, but this one was so unfunny and dull.
|
I started watching Arrested Development a few nights ago. Holy fuck, this is one of the most clever, well-written and downright hilarious shows I've ever watched. I'm two thirds of my way through season 1. I can't understand how it only lasted for three.
|
Have any of you guys watched a show called The Wire? I've heard that it's an amazing show, but I wanna know if it really is worth watching.
|
It was a phenomenon in the UK, but I never watched it.
|
Watching old Episodes of Futurama never gets old..

|
No it doesn't.
"And Fry, you've got that brain thing!" "I already did!" |
I watched Attack the Block and Second Glance. And I'm not sure which one I enjoyed more. Attack the Block was really good and made chavs out to be... awesome, whereas, Second Glance was clearly meant to have some message about god but it got lost in the part whenever Dan Burgess gets his prayer answered. Turns out, if you're not a believer you can pull multiple women, live filthily, be popular and lose friends to suicide. The show was worth a good laugh though.
|
Yay. Someone besides me who actually liked Attack the Block.

NEW SERIES OF THE WALKING DEAD! Had me on the edge of my seat the whole way through!! Who the fuck shot him though? O_O

I had hoped for reat things with Terra Nova, but right no I just wish they'd pick a geological epoch and continent ad stick with it. Brachiosaurus in the Cretaceous, really? Allosaurus? Long-tailed pterosaurs? GRASS? Come on people! Spielberg, Get your head out of Jurassic Park's ass!
So far only one species has been spot on the right time frame, and that's Carnotaurus, which would put them in South America. I don't know, some people think of the age of dinosaurs was temporally and geographically amorphous, and even the clever ones who get their dates right still think it's acceptable to put the Mongolian Velociraptor under the feet of the American Tyrannosaurus. And all plants from all of Earth's history are apparently acceptable everywhere. Apart of that it's okay, if derivative. And I do enjoy the anachronisms in a way, it's just not the kind of enjoyment I was hoping for. |
I've been watching Archer. Good God, Jon Benjamin is fucking hilarious. It makes me miss Frisky Dingo.-_-
|
I love Archer. Which reminds me: does anyone else watch Bob's Burgers? It's one of the few shows making me laugh right now.
|
I love Bob's Burger's. I wish they aired it in Canada, I've had to Stream it
ACROSS SPACE AND TIME but otherwise I love everything about it. I think I like it a bit more than Archer, Jon Benjamin really shines in improv. Has anyone been watching China, Illinois? It's that amazing new series by Brad Neely: Brad Neely taught me that I know a lot more about US History than I thought. |
Ive been watching both. They are awesome. Bob's makes me nostalgic for Home Movies...Loren Bachard is hilarious
|
I saw Green Lantern earlier. It was alright.
|
there were some laughable scenes in Green Lantern. I don't know where all this hate for the movie comes from, but the films nothing special either
The Walking Dead is superb anyone seen Ichi the Killer? great funny movie, I was pretty impressed by the performances http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...XwDPiup0cxeaZ2 |
Johnny English Reborn.
There seem to be a lot of negative reviews of it but I really enjoyed it, but it is not as good as the first one. Apart from the heavy Toshiba advertisement :/ |
I haven't seen it but god It looks awful. Movie Trailers are meant to make the film look really good but it didn't work for Johnny English in my opinion.
|
I think anything with 'Mr Bean' in it makes it funny purely because of his facial expressions.
|
Rowen Atkinsen...I miss his old mr.bean skits and the black adder. his films tend to be rubbish.
|
|
OMG, I've just found out 'Space Odyssey', I've only ever heard of it before never seen it...this looks so good.
|
as in 2001 a space odyssey? That film is utter brilliance. Oh Kubrick, I miss you. And mr bean is mr bean. so he's always hilarious. Just not necessarily in good films, lol
|
Yeh 2001, looks like something I have watch when I get back from holiday, speaking of which...off topic but, I won't be here till next Friday everybody. Enjoy your five days of solace.

OH MY GOD I love that movie. Never before has milk been so awesome. lol Also, that film is the king of out of nowhere ass beatings. And death by penis pottery.
|
I remember that Gorgeous Land Rover Series IIa on the part where Alex's friends (or were) stick his head in the pig trough.
I find it interesting how it has a Q plate but damn it looks gorgeous. http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/2109/i005649.jpg |
Alex ruined "Singin' in the rain" forever. lol

The picture was the single most greatest thing about this film. |
It made the film. Without that picture it would have been a sub-par film.
|
I watched King of the Hill yesterday. It's a programme I always ignored, partly due to lack of exposure, and partly because I saw an advert for it years ago and thought it looked a piece of shit, but I thought it was funny. It was much less over-the-top than cartoons like The Simpsons, which I thought was a real strength.
|
King of the Hill's strength lies in just how cleverly subdued it's humor is. Unlike most animated sitcoms, the characters feel like they could actually exist, which is what makes it all the more hilarious when they do something outrageous.
|
Mike Judge is a genious. Case in point, Office Space. And, for that matter, Idiocracy...which scares me cuz North America is well on its way to that future.
|
:
I also think that the visuals are very good. I saw Beavis and Butthead a while ago, and didn't like it that much, but I thought that its aesthetic was much more interesting to watch than what I've seen previous to watching it (with the exception of Ren and Stimpy). |
Thats why I like Adam Reed's work, though his are less believable. It's more the subtle dialogue and clever plots that characterise Archer and Frisky Dingo. Sealab was just nuts. lol
|
I love the jiggly, amateurish-looking animation in B&B. In general, I love cartoons that go the extra mile to look imperfect. I love the sketchy-lined look of the classic Disney films, or the jiggly look of Dr. Katz and Ed, Edd n' Eddy.
But yeah, I love of King of the Hill's humor. I also liked The Goode Family, which was basically King of the Hill's antithesis. It's less subdued though, and didn't have nearly as much character appeal as KoTH. |
