Are you calling Apocalypse Now mediocre?

Mac Sirloin · #**1322** 09-30-2012, 06:30 AM

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

Doctor Who is outrageously mediocre.

Varrok · #**1323** 09-30-2012, 06:49 AM

Wow, have you just called Doctor Who outrageously medicore?

Nepsotic · #**1324** 09-30-2012, 07:11 AM

I think he just called Doctor Who outrageously mediocre.

Sekto Springs · #**1325** 09-30-2012, 09:02 AM

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

Wings of Fire · #**1326** 09-30-2012, 09:03 AM

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

Sekto Springs · #**1327** 09-30-2012, 09:06 AM

I didn't like Apocalypse Now either.

Mac Sirloin · #**1328** 09-30-2012, 10:13 AM

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.

Sekto Springs · #**1329** 09-30-2012, 10:22 AM

I preferred it's sequel Apocalypse Later.

Varrok · #**1330** 09-30-2012, 10:25 AM

Technically, Apocalypse Later is a prequel...

Sekto Springs · #**1331** 09-30-2012, 10:30 AM

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

Mac Sirloin · #**1332** 09-30-2012, 10:48 AM

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

Mr. Bungle · #**1333** 09-30-2012, 03:00 PM

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

Sekto Springs · #**1334** 09-30-2012, 03:02 PM

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.

Crashpunk · #**1335** 09-30-2012, 03:04 PM

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

MA · #**1336** 09-30-2012, 04:07 PM

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

Mr. Bungle · #**1337** 09-30-2012, 04:10 PM

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is great.

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.

Sekto Springs · #**1338** 09-30-2012, 07:13 PM

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

Wings of Fire · #**1339** 09-30-2012, 07:18 PM

More people than usual seem to think that one sucks.

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

Sekto Springs · #**1340** 09-30-2012, 09:21 PM

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.

Bullet Magnet · #**1341** 10-01-2012, 03:43 AM

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.

OANST · #**1342** 10-01-2012, 08:17 AM

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.

Sekto Springs · #**1343** 10-01-2012, 10:02 AM

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

Dynamithix · #**1344** 10-02-2012, 12:17 PM

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).

Mr. Bungle · #**1345** 10-02-2012, 05:17 PM

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.

enchilado · #**1346** 10-03-2012, 02:14 PM

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

OANST · #**1347** 10-03-2012, 02:26 PM

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

Mr. Bungle · #**1348** 10-03-2012, 03:14 PM

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

Mac Sirloin · #**1349** 10-03-2012, 03:36 PM

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.

Sekto Springs · #**1350** 10-03-2012, 05:10 PM

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?
