Relevant to our previous discussion. Sort of.

Dynamithix 10-19-2011 10:06 AM

Oh man, that was awesome.

Dynamithix 10-19-2011 09:13 PM

The new South Park episode was stupid. The earlier one was really good, but this one was so unfunny and dull.

Mr. Bungle 10-20-2011 04:57 AM

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.

Dynamithix 10-20-2011 05:26 AM

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.

MeechMunchie 10-20-2011 08:40 AM

It was a phenomenon in the UK, but I never watched it.

Crashpunk 10-20-2011 03:11 PM

Watching old Episodes of Futurama never gets old..

Yes it does.

MeechMunchie 10-20-2011 11:15 PM

No it doesn't.

"I already did!"

Ridg3 10-20-2011 11:16 PM

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.

Dynamithix 10-21-2011 03:47 AM

Yay. Someone besides me who actually liked Attack the Block.

It's considered one of the greatest television series ever made, if not the most well written. It's definitely worth getting into, but watch the seasons in order. There are 5. It is important that you don't lose a step.

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

Bullet Magnet 10-21-2011 04:03 PM

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.

StrangerEastwood 10-21-2011 04:12 PM

I've been watching Archer. Good God, Jon Benjamin is fucking hilarious. It makes me miss Frisky Dingo.-_-

Bullet Magnet 10-21-2011 04:25 PM

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.

Mac Sirloin 10-21-2011 04:51 PM

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.


StrangerEastwood 10-21-2011 05:27 PM

Ive been watching both. They are awesome. Bob's makes me nostalgic for Home Movies...Loren Bachard is hilarious

Dynamithix 10-22-2011 09:24 AM

I saw Green Lantern earlier. It was alright.

scrabface 10-22-2011 01:02 PM

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

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 :/

Crashpunk 10-22-2011 01:29 PM

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.

Mudokon_Master 10-22-2011 01:51 PM

I think anything with 'Mr Bean' in it makes it funny purely because of his facial expressions.

StrangerEastwood 10-22-2011 02:10 PM

Rowen Atkinsen...I miss his old mr.bean skits and the black adder. his films tend to be rubbish.

JennyGenesis 10-22-2011 02:25 PM

I enjoyed the 2 Mr Bean films.

STM 10-22-2011 02:51 PM

OMG, I've just found out 'Space Odyssey', I've only ever heard of it before never seen it...this looks so good.

StrangerEastwood 10-22-2011 03:17 PM

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

STM 10-22-2011 03:22 PM

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 Kubrick, I miss you.

A Clockwork Orange ;)

StrangerEastwood 10-22-2011 03:37 PM

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.

JennyGenesis 10-22-2011 03:44 PM

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.

Alex ruined "Singin' in the rain" forever. lol

Ridg3 and I were talking about this earlier actually.

The picture was the single most greatest thing about this film.

Ridg3 10-23-2011 06:39 AM

It made the film. Without that picture it would have been a sub-par film.

OddjobAbe 10-23-2011 10:08 AM

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.

Sekto Springs 10-23-2011 10:11 AM

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.

StrangerEastwood 10-23-2011 10:19 AM

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.

That's exactly the thing. I got tired of the whole slapstick approach to cartoons, and I thought that the humour in what I watched yesterday was a lot more subtle and actually much funnier than things I've seen in cartoons in the past.
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).

StrangerEastwood 10-23-2011 10:26 AM

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

Sekto Springs 10-23-2011 10:28 AM

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.
