There's one thing that put me off Voyager. They never tell you if it's "7/9" or "7^9".

There's one thing that put me off Voyager. The writing.

I've never watched Star Trek.

I watched the first two episodes of The Tick last night. The live action one, not the cartoon. It's pretty funny and clever. Too bad it was only around for 9 episodes. The Fox network is a bunch of damn philistines.

Watched Primal Fear, Edward Norton's first film. What a fantastic film, well acted, well scripted and a great story. With a twist that is second to The Usual Suspects in how mind blowing it was.

Speaking of Edward Norton, I saw Moonrise Kingdom. Great movie. See it instead of either Spider-man or Batman.

I'd happily see most things instead of Spiderjerk.

Never understood why Edward Norton didn't become a mega-star after a string of fantastic films. I heard it was because he was a massive dick, but I've also heard that of Daniel Day Lewis and he is a major A lister

Ozombie.

It fucking sucked.

Thats is all.

So it didn't include... you know... ?

I watched Wrong Turn, the first one. Eh, it was alright. Very, very cliché, but not that bad. I like movies with deformed hillbillies.

I watched The Skin I Live In, a spanish film wherein Antonio Banderas has sex with a sexy frankenstein. It was very intense and really interesting to watch (especially the parts with boobies) but it didn't really have a meaning to it. There was a theme, whatever it was, but it was so utterly convoluted and bizarre it was only worth watching to watch, and not to think about.

Is Edward Norton not considered an A lister? I'm pretty sure he is.

He's an A-lister. I think by "mega-star" he means "celebrity". Norton is a big star, he just doesn't appear in twenty movies a year like Johnny Depp.

Yeah that is kinda what I mean. I always thought as an A-lister people almost go to see your films because you are in them, like Leo Dicaprio or Tom Cruise, and the massive directors want you in their films like Spielberg or Marty Scorsese.

Ed Norton has done neither. Probably out of choice (although I hear he has been kinda blacklisted by Hollywood because he is a bit too controlling and arrogant when he acts)

Even if Norton's an asshole, I appreciate him not being one of those actors/directors who makes a movie out of necessity, knowing people will see it simply because it has his name on it.

My own personal belief is that a really good movie humbles an actor, as opposed to putting them on a pedestal. When it gets to the point where it's like "This guy is in it, so it doesn't matter if it's good or not", that's when you need to tune out.

Been watching Kids in the Hall and Mad Men. Kids in the Hall is always hilarious. Thirty Helens agree.

Mad Men is getting really,really good though. I'm nearing the end of the third season and shit is really starting to build up. I expect a climactic conclusion to this season.

I agree. Johnny Depp seems to be slowly becoming one of those types of actors. Why else would he keep doing Jack Sparrow?

As opposed to Brad Pitt, who seems be doing whatever the fuck he wants, which surprisingly is star is some pretty indie films. I bet he didn't get paid much for Tree Of Life or The Assassination Of Jesse James For The Coward Robert Ford. But then, I would say that as I am a massive Brad Pitt fan :tard:

Pitt has always made pretty good film choices.

Yeah he has. Even the shittier movies he's in are at worst mediocre.

Well, Jack Sparrow specifically is due partly to contract. When you sign with Disney, they own your soul for no less than a decade. The rest is due to a combination of Depp's marketability and for his own lack of quality control. Every movie to him is a good movie, and he's worked with almost every major director in Hollywood, so when he gets that phone call it's always an immediate "yes". Basically, he's a high class whore.

Be that as it may, he is still one fucking cool guy.

Adventure Time. I actually like this show.

I completed watching the Blade trilogy today. This was the first time I saw the movies.

I thought the first one was very enjoyable, campy at parts and bad acting but still I enjoyed watching it. The second one was better on the visual side but it introduced way too many annoying characters, besides that, Nomak (the main villain) was cool. The third movie was a stinking pile of shit, that Hannibal King character was so fucking bad. I cringed every time he said something (usually a cheesy joke). Then again, it was 2004.

So yeah, uhh, Wesley Snipes is alright, the first movie was enjoyable.

I liked this song in the first movie.

I watched Real Steel yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. Hugh Jackman's acting was really solid, the special effects were perfect, yes the kid was fucking annoying but I guess so will all 11 year olds in 2014 and it had some very dark undertones about humanity becoming more bloodthirsty and brutal.

I'm nearly at end of the eight season of the Simpsons. I can't believe how both funny and well-written it is for just a sitcom. Really, it's been unbelievably great to watch it. It's sad to hear it's not gonna be better from now on. I hope you're not that right

Season 8 is pretty much the end of classic Simpsons. I wouldn't bother with Season 9. Apart from a few great episodes (Homer vs The City of New York is fucking hilarious), it's pretty mediocre. In fact, most of the ones worth watching (including the one I mentioned) were holdovers from season 8.

Season 4 is still my favourite. Seasons 4-7 are all perfect, though.

I think I'll take my chances with S9 anyway, there's never enough dreams to be crushed by brutal reality

I'm watching Season 3 of Breaking Bad. Most asinine season yet.

It's commonly regarded as the worst. Pretty boring for the most part, though I find on future viewings it gets more bearable. It still has some great moments.

The Cartels assassins are pretty ridiculous though, even for Breaking Bad standards.

I call them "The Murder Twins".

Huh? The third season is considered the worst? I liked that and the fourth one most. Hmmph.
