Are you calling Apocalypse Now mediocre?

Well, I'm about to call Doctor Who outrageously mediocre.

Doctor Who is outrageously mediocre.

Wow, have you just called Doctor Who outrageously medicore?

I think he just called Doctor Who outrageously mediocre.

Because it is.
I can see the appeal of Doctor Who, it deals with some great concepts, but I think the execution is terrible.

Strange, I could swear the question you were caught out on was about Apocalypse Now.

I didn't like Apocalypse Now either.

That's the one where Tom Hanks plays a tall man with downs syndrome right? That's a cinema classic right there. How dare you, sir.

I preferred it's sequel Apocalypse Later.

Technically, Apocalypse Later is a prequel...

Ah, yes you're right. I get it confused with Apocalypse Yesterday all the time.

Movie 4, Apocalypse Overslept, is a real hidden gem. Y'all should check it out.

So which Bill Murray film should I watch next? I'm starting to like the guy.

Depends what kind of tone you're looking for. If you want zany, dark Murray, then Scrooged is a classic. Groundhog Day is pretty bizarre too. The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is great.

Yeah, I recommend Groundhog Day. That film is so good :)

i feel like i'm in Groundhog Day just watching it. i never did like it.

That's a Wes Anderson movie, is it not? I've been watching his films a lot lately, so I think I'll go with this one next. Though I heard some bad things about it. Like that it sucks.

I suppose I'll give it a shot though.

A large majority of people think Wes Anderson's films suck. They're called "morons", and often travel in groups.

More people than usual seem to think that one sucks.

I can't comment having never seen one of his films.

I think it's just because more people saw it. It got a lot more publicity than Anderson's earlier affairs, and was consequently more polarizing.

I remember not knowing what I was watching. I was just suddenly shown it on the way to school on a tiny portable screen (it was recorded on a cassette) and I didn't know if it was a film or TV series or what. At first I thought it was a documentary.

I really enjoyed The Life Aquatic. There are some really great moments in that film. Is it a masterpiece the way that Rushmore, and Royal Tenenbaums are? Probably not. But it's still a really great film.

Also, Moonrise Kingdom was fucking great, and I loved it.

I loved the hell out of Moonrise Kingdom. Easily one of his best.

I saw Otis, a movie about a fat guy who is obsessed with his brother's life and his wife who he could never get so he kidnaps blonde teens who remind him of her to act his dreams with but they all seem to die in one way or another. It was pretty stupid really, it sounded pretty gruesome but it turned out to be a dark humour movie that just really wasn't funny (with the exception of a torture scene near the end).

I watched Knocked Up the other day. I liked it quite a bit, thought all the characters were pretty funny and it didn't wear out its welcome.

Saw Looper recently. Thought it was fucking brilliant, best film I've seen in quite a while.

I've heard really good things about that, and I loved Brick, so maybe I'll see it this weekend.

Yeah, I've heard a lot of hubbub about Looper, though I'm not sure if I want to see that or Dredd.

Dredd. Looper looks okay, but I'm getting this vibe of "Brotherhood of assassins with weird meta tool" that makes it look like Wanted.

Cartoon Network suddenly became available through my Satellite provider, so I've been watching a nonstop stream of Adventure Time, Regular Show and Adult Swim. The bumps on AS seem to reference this becoming a permanent thing in Canada; that is making fun of viewers for watching cartoons instead of aspiring to be Prime Minister. I couldn't be happier. I can watch King of The Hill again, finally.

So I've been watching Sealab 2021. I didn't find it as funny as Space Ghost and Harvey Birdman when I first came across AS, but that changed. It's really weird and has that feeling of early Williams Street shows. It makes me wonder if they could be convinced to do another one with those shitty old Hanna Barberra licenses.

Yeah, people are shitting their drawers big time over Looper. I can't see myself going to the theaters to see it though. I predict it becoming one of those meme-fuel movies for a while, like Inception. That being said, I'm probably going to have to try extra hard not to read the fucking spoilers that are bound to show up in my newsfeed.

Speaking of Cartoon Network, Mac, got 20 minutes to kill?

I saw Looper last week. I'd rate it as good but not great. It's definitely worth seeing, but don't go in with high expectations. And you won't miss anything by waiting until it's on DVD.

Also, Joseph Gordon-Levitt's nose was really distracting. Also the fact that Bruce Willis is in it, making me constantly compare it to 12 Monkeys.

Bruce Willis is the only reason why I want to see that film.

If you said that in my presence I would slap you.

They're making a fifth Die Hard movie. I'm sure Crashpunk will attend the advanced screening because Bruce Willis is in it.

Bruce Willis is the reason I initially didn't want to see the movie.

Oh hell no. I might be a Willis fan but I'm sick of them making Die Hard films. I only really liked the first one anyway.

I didn't like Willis anyway, but after doing those adverts recently, I my respect for him fell into the negatives.

But but the third one

I've never seen any of them.

Die Hard 1 is excellent.
