I watched Scot Pilgrim vs. The World. I liked it. It was fun.

Ridg3 11-15-2010 06:09 AM

I liked it as well but I had to turn off my brain to watch it, I kept on trying to make sense of it.

Mac Sirloin 11-15-2010 10:08 PM

City of the Living Dead, at a big weekend-anniversary showing. It was shit.

tantopat 11-16-2010 02:08 AM

I watched 9 last night. It's one of my all-time favourite films, so it was great to see it again. I know it didn't get good reviews, but everything about it is just perfect for me, especially the dark story (with no comic relief or overused CG film humour!), and the rather brilliant character designs. Besides, films with bad reviews are the ones that I always seem to like best... :P

MeechMunchie 11-16-2010 12:26 PM

You and me against the world, Tanto.

Coming to you LIVE from my front room:

I'm watching I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!. Shan Ryder is awesome. He spends most of the show asleep and is currently eating testicles and worms without a complaint. He's even cracking jokes.

tantopat 11-16-2010 02:54 PM

I'm still not sure what I think of Shaun Ryder being there, tbh. ;^^ While it's good that he's doing well on that show, being there meant that he wasn't at the Gorillaz concert on Friday. Dare just wasn't the same without him performing live! (Although they did have the video with his giant cyborg-head on the screen above the stage, which was better than nothing.)

Wings of Fire 11-18-2010 10:55 AM

Been watching the new My Little Pony cartoon.

Shit is so good. I not trolling.

Strike Witch 11-18-2010 11:18 AM

Seriously. I thought it would be shockingly bad when we gave it a whirl out of fun, but apparently it's from the same person who did Powerpuff girls. It was surprisingly great.

OANST 11-18-2010 11:19 AM

Craig McCracken?

Strike Witch 11-18-2010 11:23 AM

Nah, Lauren Faust apparently. She's his wife.

OANST 11-18-2010 11:38 AM

Ah.

Dynamithix 11-18-2010 11:39 AM

Powerpuff Girls is some serious shit.

I watch it if it's on in the morning. Fuck yeah.

Strike Witch 11-18-2010 11:44 AM

Also there's a ridiculous amount of lesbian horse undertones in this show.

Emesdee 11-18-2010 12:09 PM

Smug little pony.

Just watched The Horrors of Spider Island, and would complain about the waste of a perfectly good title, but the movie itself uses It’s Hot in Paradise, which is far more appropriate. I guess I would have liked this movie more as a kid. Tons of cheesecake, with a slab of beef, but very little in regards to spiders, outside of one cuddly looking prop, and a wolfman being passed off as a spiderman.

Powerpuff Girls is pretty much the best animated show ever.

Followed close enough by Courage the Cowardly Dog.

I like Dexter's Lab better than the Powerpuff Girls. also Samurai Jack. Tartakovsky is a genius.
except, I think Mojo Jojo is one of the greatest and most fun super villain of all time.
A completely different, but also really good animated show was Aeon Flux.

Wings of Fire 11-18-2010 02:29 PM

Dexter's Lab was a lot of fun, yeah.

It's just so hard to rank revival Cartoon Network originals, they were mostly all gold.

Whut?? How can you put Powerpuff Girl anywhere near Courage The Cowardly dog!!?? >: ( That show was awesome, and one of the few that I actually liked.
PPG was meh-meh. *sticks out tongue*

Powerpuff Girls was art you whore and you can shut your whore damned whore mouth.

whoreswhoreswhores

OANST 11-18-2010 02:37 PM

Powerpuff Girls was pretty fucking great.

Wings of Fire 11-18-2010 02:38 PM

They never released region 2 dvd sets you know.

I am heartbroken.

OANST 11-18-2010 02:38 PM

Ha. We has 'em.

OH GOD, I FORGOT ABOUT SAMURAI JACK. :(

I loved that show!

Nate 11-19-2010 03:58 AM

I just saw RED. Absolutely brilliant and over-the-top hilarious. Would recommend to anyone who isn't a pussy.

You're not a pussy, are you?

Dynamithix 11-19-2010 09:03 AM

I might watch it next weekend. My dad wants to see it.

EDIT: Just finished watching A Nightmare on Elm street remake and it was pretty much what I expected. Predictable deaths and cliché one-liners from Freddy.

Meh, it was a watchable movie. One really annoying thing about the movie was the goddamn song. Here's some better lyrics for it:

One two, Freddy cums on you
Three four, better clean it up, whore
Five six, Freddy sucks his own dick
Seven eight, he also masturbates
Nine ten, he does it all over again

Phylum 11-19-2010 06:30 PM

I've been watching lots of the A-Team latley. I feel sorry for anyone that tries to take it seriously. The villans always capture them and leave them in rooms full of scraps or broken down cars that they turn into automatic weapons and fix respectivley.

It's fucking great.

People take the show seriously? Just about everyone I've seen always enjoyed it for what it was, a live action cartoon where Mr. T and his sidekicks fire off tons of ammo, never killing anyone, and doing completely ridiculous stuff with random junk. Shame they never crossed over with MacGyver.

that's pretty much what the original Freddy films are all about. if you don't like the cliché one-liners or even the song, which is like Freddy's signature, you won't like the films. its one of those movies where you need to just enjoy it for what it is.

personally, i quite like the Freddy Krueger films.

lismati 11-20-2010 04:23 AM

Yesterday I watched "The Social Network", great movie, that moment when in court somebody asked Zuckerberg "Do you even listen to me?", and he said "No, Good drawing?" was pretty epic.

OANST 11-20-2010 06:26 AM

I'll probably see that when it comes On Demand. I love Aaron Sorkin.

scrabface 11-20-2010 07:41 AM

I have just seen X-men Origins: Wolverine
and I was surprised how bad and uninteresting this movie and the whole plot was. I mean I really didn't expect much, I even expected a bad movie, but not such fucking whore bad movie. baaaah I am so angry I watched that shit!

OANST 11-20-2010 07:45 AM

The Wolverine will be much better. It's a reboot that's being directed by Darren Aronofsky. There's almost no possible way that it won't be worth watching.

Daxter King 11-20-2010 07:48 AM

Saw Due Date the other week, thought it was really funny.

Mac Sirloin 11-20-2010 07:53 AM

I started watching the second season of The Wire because I'm really slow at dramas. On the other hand, we have all five seasons.

I really dig the Tom Waits (Well, original) version of Way Down in The Hole. Suits the filthy docks very well. The taunting that Sobotka (Dock worker) gives to Valchek (Goddamn police Lieutenant or captain or something) in that lobby or whatever it was was pretty damn cool. This show is so damn good.

I also spoiled a bunch of assumedly really cool stuff that takes place in the last few episodes of season 1 for myself because I forgot I hadn't finished it.

And yes, OANST, I can't wait to get to Season 4.

Bullet Magnet 11-20-2010 07:54 AM

I really couldn't get over the floating mountains. Or the facts that the Na'vi clearly didn't evolve from the world's animal stock.

And the way Greggs and McNulty shoot down the Bug Panther Dog was really cool too hey wait a second


On the subject of Avatar, has anyone watched it on DVD or Blu ray or whatever yet? How is it?

Strike Witch 11-20-2010 08:00 AM

I have it on DVD. watched it on a HDMI-equipped TV with an Xbox. Shit's fine, just as clear as the film. If anything, a smaller screen makes it slightly sharper. When I watched Avatar in the cinema in 3D, I felt exhausted after it because they packed so much detail into every scene that even in the mellow moments so much was going on. With the DVD, there's much less screen to cover so It's easier to just go with the flow.

Season 4 of The Wire is the best television I have ever seen, and I don't expect to ever see anything better. It's too good.

scrabface 11-20-2010 08:05 AM

Darren Aronofsky huh? that sounds promising

One thing I never understood about Avatar was why those things had to be so ugly? the props are wrong in so many ways and those horse faces? wth? I still think they tried to avoid the Uncanny Valley.
