Wow. I'm fucking old...

I remember Catdog.

That show was kind of depressing.

I didn't actually like CatDog that much.

Was that the show with the dog with a cat for an ass, or was it vice versa?

Eh, that show grossed me out. It made me feel less hygienic just from watching it.

The dog was brighter, so obviously the cat was at the rear end.

Unless the dog was a smartarse.

If my experience in life has taught me anything, it's not to push big red buttons.

No he wasn't. Dog was a dumbass. You could argue Cat was too, but he wasn't "herp-a-derp" dumb.

I never thought Catdog was particularly clever or funny. I found it intensely confusing and disorienting.

Your loss.

I watched Suicide Circle (or Suicide Club) with my dad tonight. Not the best film to watch with a parent I guess, but I liked it. It was different. Really different. I think it needs to be seen a few times before you fully understand the plot but from what I gathered, Dessert (the girl band) was giving subliminal suicidal thoughts through their lyrics and ads and that's why there were mass suicides happening. I didn't completely get the 'The Bat' girl or the Rolly band though.

It was really bizarre but pretty good too, don't know if I could actually recommend it to everyone but if you enjoy such movies, go for it.

have you seen Ichi the Killer? might interest you

just came back from cinema where I saw Take Shelter

great film with some horrifying scenes.

Does anyone remember a series that was on a few years back. It was a weird-ass dark comedy based in a hospital with intentionally shit visual effects.

The only clue I can give is that tan-skinned guy with the afro and glasses who's in the I.T Crowd and occasionally in Mighty Boosh plays a major role in it.

If anyone knows, let me know. Aching to see that again.

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

That took me two minutes to find out and I didn't even have the advantage of knowing the actor's name or his character's name in the I.T Crowd.

Dummy.

But you knew who he was though, right?

Anyway, thanks a bunch.

I just herped myself, I got the two (actually one) mixed up.

My bad :(

It's okay. Not the worst assumption to make. I think cats are fucking stupid. Dogs are too, but at least they're... you know... fun.

At least you can play around with a dog, throw a ball, teach it how to properly respond to commands.

I've only had one cat. All it did was sleep and beg for food. Then it pissed all over my bed and we got rid of it.

Dumb cat.

At least dogs try to be useful. They stand in front yards and bark at people, then sleep well at night knowing they've defended their home.

Cats are just lazy shits.

Watch out, gize. Wil is an adamant cat lover. He'll give us all infractions.

I'll give you infractions for talking about cats and dogs in a thread that isn't the 'Cats and Dogs' thread.

We better make a goddamned cats and dogs thread then. You know where this is going to go.

I typed in 'I.T Crowd afro' into google. The rest was pretty simple.

Seemed too farfetched to even attempt. Oh well.

Kind of ripping there's only six episodes, though. There's meant to be more, since they were made in the 80s, but they seem to be 'lost'.

Watching The Tick (animated) such a trip down memory lane.

I loved that show.

Watched The Good the Bad and the Ugly yesterday for the first time. Really good movie, lived up to the expectations which were pretty damn high. Can't really complain about anything, other than the fact that it did run a little long. Overall great movie that deserves the praise it gets.


Also watched the first seasons of the british version of The Office. I love the American one (at least the first couple seasons), but this one blows it out of the water in just the first few episodes. The jokes are so subtle but executed so perfectly that I end up laughing at one simple line because it's executed so brilliantly. I can't wait to watch season 2.

Walking Dead started airing in Finland two days ago so I watched the pilot episode. I thought it was pretty good, the ending was pretty intense too. I'll probably start watching the series from now on.

Prepare to be disappointed.

All I've heard is that the second season is really boring and bad. Don't spoil anything about the first season though, I really want to watch it through.

You could probably watch the first episode of the second season, then skip all the way until the episode where they finish the arc they setup(you'll know what it is), and just watch the rest of season 2 after that one. In fact, that is what I'm going to recommend people do if they say they want to start watching it.

I tried watching the first episode of season 2 of Game of Thrones.

What a stupid, horrible fucking show. God damn it. Why is this popular? This is fucking TERRIBLE. It's GARBAGE. It's gross and a waste of my time. Fuck everything.

*slams door*

I love it.

It's amusing in both a "wow, what interesting fantasy set design" way and a "oh man, who is going to get raped/killed/abused this week?" way.

Then watch Throne of Games, it's much more enjoyable if you have the money.

Maybe I should try reading the books, I don't have anything good to say about the show. It felt like a disjointed mess, genuinely just a product of its own hype. Especially the 20 minute long title sequence Strike Witch posted. Oh, is the world they live ona giant machine? No? It's nothing but the fucking dark ages? Thanks for that 2 Trillion dollar CG animation that explained jack squat.
Especially the part where that Blond-Haired kid didn't get his skull crushed at any point.
I mean, at least those Spartacus shows have a reason for showing rampant buttfucking and fighting. Part of why I don't like it is definitely the sex. There were like three scenes that literally just open with women shrieking orgasms all over the castle/desert/fortress, which didn't tell me any more about the plot than they couldn't deduce hoiw to open a scene without some level of penetration.

Are the books written like this? 'And the magical boy dreamt he was a wolf, and then he woke up, and meanwhile, in another part of the castle, his mother/aunt/whatever was having a nursemaid raped, and the boy then dreamt he was a wolf again.'

I understand that people like it, but this is one of those things where I can say after extensive clinical trial and study that it is objectively fucking terrible. Nothing but hype. Of course, this could just be coming from the fact that I'm watching The Wire, which is perfectly written and perfectly shot and perfectly perfect.

The title sequence is fucking dumb, I'll give you that.

It makes sense for Kings Landing and the areas important to the intrigue plot surrounding that, but certainly not for the wall or the east.

I'm sure if I tried to watch more than just the first, third and last episodes of S1 and one episode of S2 I'd understand more of it, but even the pilot ends with incest buttsex. Fuck off. I mean, fuck off.

Anyway, here's a big post about The Wire.

I'm just finishing the 4th Season, which is a focus on the inner city school system. Micheal Lee, an abused 8th grader has to take care of his brother Bug across the season and handles most finances for his family, as his mother is a dope fiend. His friend Namond, son of notorious Corner Soldier Wee-Bey, is coerced into selling drugs on his own corner by his mother who'd grown accustomed to living off of residuals from the now-defunct Barksdale Organization, a gang that is the focus of the 1st and 3rd seasons. After her meal ticket runs out, she guilts Namond into selling himself instead of working as a 'Runner' under Bodie, another Barksdale soldier.

Despite the dissolution of Barksdale's crew, the West side of Baltimore is still under siege and disappearances are rampant. Marlo Stanfield, a particularly violent and efficient dealer, has been having his soldiers murder opposing dealers, thieves and snitches and sealing them inside abandoned houses using a nailgun. Chris Partlow, Marlo's right-hand man, takes a liking to Micheal Lee and begins training and advising him on how to be a soldier. Namond finds himself unready for working the corners at all, if ever. A program for disruptive/'corner' kids helps him turn over a new leaf and begin to see that entering the drug trade may be an awry decision.


What I really drew from this (and the billion little points and details I missed) was the polarizing way Micheal and Namond are depicted. Namond is boastful and vocal about how totally fucking great and hard he is, but he's lived conveniently and without worry. Micheal is quiet and well-mannered, but holds his family up singlehandedly and avoids any interaction with Dealers or the like at first. By the end of the season, Micheal-Lee is violent and unpredictable and has murdered the aforementioned Bodie. Namond is adopted by Colvin, a former Police Major who wants him to have a better life. Colvin actually goes and speaks to Wee-Bey, whom Colvin sent to a life sentence and recieves his blessing to adopt Namond.

I pirated the first season of Walking Dead, I just can't wait a week between the episodes.

I thought the second episode wasn't as good as the first one but it was good in its own way and the third episode was pretty good too, a bit better than the second one actually. A really interesting series so far in my opinion.
