I disagree. I thought it was pretty bad. Not my sort of comdey i guess

And speaking of Futurama, has anyone been watching the new Futurama series on Sky1?

Saw The Adjustment Bureau. Thought it was a really good film right up to the last scene, which didn't match the rest of the film in tone, rhythm or spirit. Sure enough, a quick google shows me that it's not the original ending and it was reshot four months afterwards. That said, the original ending sounds even worse; they were brought through the Bureau to meet the Chairman, who was an African American woman and very clearly god. She told them pretty much the same thing as Harry did in the final version.

Here's how I would have written it; I would have kept it similar. The Chairman changes her mind. They've sacrificed everything. Blah blah blah. They'll be allowed to go free, but only under several conditions - they must use their bond to force each other to acheive their potential. David must become president and Elise must become a world famous dancer (and first lady). That way we still have the happy ending, but no saccharine "Your fate is in your hands" bullshit.

I didn't really like the ending of it either, but it passed time well on a fucking horrid plane trip.

I did find the movie funny, however, because it seems like it was written by a male attempting to write a love story.

Been watching The Wire for the past few months as its being re-run on FX and I missed it the first time it was shown over here.

Its fantastic, the characters are likable and it gives and really interesting characterisation of the 'good guys' anf the 'bad guys'. The Police Chiefs come across as power addicted beaucrats who only care about percentages than actually helping people. Whilst you see the sort of unending cycle and futility of the drug dealer's lives. The story also twists like a motherfucker, with some truly left field moments that just make you sit there and go :O

I watched Kickass the other day. Loved the shit out of it, had so much action, drama and emotion throughout. Of all the recent films that followed the "awkward nerd" trend, this was definitely my favourite.

I saw a movie called Idiocracy. If I remember correctly, it was by the same guy that made Beavis and Butthead. (Mike Judge?)

It was pretty hilarious at some points. The plot was pretty dumb though, but the humor was so derp-a-herp that it was mostly enjoyable.

I've been watching Dragon Ball lately.

The last 4-5 minutes is probably the funniest I've seen in a long time :D

Anyone who cares about Dragonball has already seen it a million times.
Anyone who doesn't care about it doesn't want to start now.

I saw Cowboys and Aliens.

It was quite nice, kind of jumped the shark and got rather silly near the end, and had a few plot oddities. But it was a pretty fun film altogether.

So it isn't as stereotypically bad as the title sounds?

No, not at all. It's basically Daniel Craig as a quiet badarse, Harrison Ford in one of his best roles, and a decent supporting cast in a really fun film. Just don't think too hard about the alien parts.

That's a tall claim.

I disagree with Strike Witch. It was an okay film, but not really good. Daniel Craig and Olivia Wilde did their thing quite well, but Harrison Ford was phoning it in.

It was too long and it never felt like it really lived up to its concept. It's like they were trying to take it seriously, when what they should have done was made a really badass B-movie. There were no moments of epic awesomeness and I never felt all that excited by any of it.

Actually, I thought Harrison Ford was amazing while Daniel and Olivia were a mite worse.

Though that just might be Ford's great presence jutting out, I dunno.

Either way I thought it was great fun.

just watched the latest episode of Shooting Stars on BBC iPlayer. the final challenge had me in stitches. fucking surreal.

I didn't even know that came back again. I remember when a scart lead was one of the shitty prizes at the end. The whole thing was funny, but that was the one thing that got a thoroughly hearty laugh from me.

personally i reckon this new series hasn't been quite as good as previous series. to me, it feels like there's something missing. Vic and Bob are still batshit insane, don't get me wrong, but i find i'm just chuckling, whereas before with previous series i'd end up in hysterics at some point. then again maybe i'm talking shit, i dunno.

that said, you've still got to take a look at the latest episode on iPlayer.

First new doctor who episode.

I was caught off-guard in the first half, and it all seems to be going rather well.

I've been getting into the TV series Breaking Bad, and holy shit is it good. I'm about half way through the second season right now and I'm so drawn in. All the actors are believable and excellent, and while the scenarios sometimes teeter on unreasonable, I still love it. If you like any sort of good drama, you need to see this show.

I just saw district 9, that was pretty good

I watched through Power Rangers in Space on Youtube because I found all of my old Power Rangers toys. It was alarming how much of it I remembered. Firm memories of being terrified by The Barillion Sting are still lodged firmly in my mind. I was also scared of Ecliptor in The Impenetrable Web. It was a really well made series. I've had a few conversations with my mum about how well the story is written for a kid's show.

I was saddened to learn about Power Rangers being made from Super Sentai series, though. What used to be my favourite show wasn't really what used to be my favourite show. It was a group of English scenes filmed to tie together Japanese fight scenes that have been dubbed English.

Because I enjoyed PRiS so much, I thought I'd watch Power Rangers Samurai because is on Monday mornings here at the moment, so I can watch bits of it while getting ready for school. It's ridiculously similar to the old series. The only difference is that when the Megazords turn away from the defeated monsters there is no longer a jump before the explosion.

Samurai is apparently a very poor power rangers version, if you can believe that. Apparently the best is the one just before it, RPM.

I don't watch power rangers nor their original Sentai forms though, I just watch Kamen Rider because the costumes are more cool-looking.

The worst thing about Samurai is the yellow ranger's voice. Other than that, it's bad in a fun to watch way.

I stopped liking Power Rangers when they begun releasing the ridiculous amount of spin offs.

I remember getting the movie for Christmas as a child. The one with Ivan Ooze. Yeah, good times.

I never liked Power Rangers much as a kid. In fact I thought they were rather homosexual. I was more of a Spider-Man/Beast Wars/Pokemon kid. I do have a few memories of the Rangers, but I can't remember any episodes in particular.

They had odd rapid movements when talking while they've gotten their suits on.

I've just seen Battle Royale and...My God. If there ever was a film that will never be remade in the western world it would be that. Children shooting each other, blood flowing everywhere and implied sexualisation. It was great.

Also, everyone can take about 25 bullets to the torso and still take about an extra 3 minutes to die.

Slumm Millionaire (Title will be misspelled) :fuzzle:

I saw Captain America: The Last Avenger last night. I thought it was pretty good, and got me even more excited for the upcoming Avengers film. It's gonna rule.

*Slumdog Millionaire

Yeah, it was on TV yesterday here and I watched it too. I've seen it already, but it's still really good.

I just watched a French film called 'A Town Called Panic'

Oh god. It was glorious.

That's a TV series too, right?

It is? I had no idea.

I take it you're at least aware of it?

Derp.

I saw Jesus Christ: Superstar live at the Startford festival last saturday. It was AWESOME. They had an itty bitty stage to work on but they made the absolute best of it. Pilate and Herod were amazing.

I watched Redline.



It's basically a heavily-stylized wacky races meets death race meets weird abstractish alien design.

It's set out like a pretty typical action film, but the animation was hand-drawn over seven years.

The result is a very very pretty film which is entertaining but not groundbreaking.

If you get a chance to see it it's worth a look.

Oh, I watched Hobo with a Shotgun last night. It was an absolutely hilarious parody and I loved it.

There is something missing, and he's called Georgie Dawes.

I've seen that! I like the way the barbeque was all that was left standing. Also the scene where they recover the TV. Cut away for a second, cut back and Cowboy and Indiene are slacking off watching it.

I saw Troll Hunter the other day. An excellent effort, and another in the growing mass of good entertainment drifting over her from the Nordic reigon. I liked seeing Norway use its own mythology for monsters. I've had enough of all the west European stuff I keep seing recycled.

Plus I lol'd at the throwaway Christian gags, especially "Stay there! I'll distract him!" (People who've seen it will know what I'm talking about. Also the "I'm a Muslim, does that count?" line near the end.

It's not perfect, but well worth seeing. And for once in these shakycam "found footage" movies, the characters actually have credible reasons for wandering around with a video camera.

Also, there's a scene early in the film where the titular Troll Hunter runs out of the woods and wails "TROOOLL!" I predict five days before that becomes a staple reaction vid for forums.

Speaking of which, I saw Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes a while back. Besides the clumsy title, it was a lot better than I was expecting. Caesar was a compelling protaganist, and the film only descended into all-action monkey wars near the end, featuring the ever-implausible Gorilla Attacks Helicopter. But hey, at least it earned it's action finale. The Alzheimer's-Dad character didn't get enough character development and screentime though.

Plus, Caesar's Crowning Moment Of Awesome. Oh my Lord, I was pinned to my seat by an ear-to-ear grin of character empathy when that happened. I am talking, of course, about "noooOOOOOOOOoo" (not to be confused with DV's NOOOOOOOOooooo). Again, that must be YouTube fodder by now. "Caesar's reaction to the announcement of Transformers 7" and the like.

It reminds me of the cravendale milk advertisements, on an insane level.

Strike Witch's link has episodes of it, oh, it's such a delight!
