The thread title is "I Have Just Seen..." not "Recently Watched Movies or TV Shows", or some derivitave of that.

Yet if you look at the first post...

Movie reviews fall under "whatever", right?

My gut instinct would be 'No' but Nate's been doing this for like a decade so wait to see what he says.

Mr. Bungle · #**1114** 04-23-2013, 04:04 AM

I hope I don't get negrepped for semanticism.

I also hope semanticism is proper english.

Anywho, I recently watched a documentary of a tattoo-covered ex-neo-Nazi turning his life around and getting all the tats removed. What a brutal proccess.

I don't really know what I'm being asked to adjudicate here. Did Steamer_KING delete his post?

Not the one they're referring to. It's still there.

***Nate*** · #**1117** 04-23-2013, 06:11 AM

Oh. I had assumed you posted that as something you had seen recently.

Still not entirely sure what I'm meant to adjudicate.

Steamer_KING · #**1118** 04-23-2013, 06:15 AM

Me neither, as a matter of fact...

Nepsotic · #**1119** 04-23-2013, 07:01 AM

Whether or not he is allowed to post that review. I'm pretty sure it's okay, if he posted it in Bits and Pieces there would be no dicussion, so I think it fits here.

Mr. Bungle · #**1120** 04-23-2013, 07:16 AM

Let's just all agree that I'm right.

for once

My problem is that an internet video review of a game is right on the border of Bits and Pieces material. If they are considered material for this thread then blah blah blah slippery slope argument lets plays and fail of the week compilations.

Nepsotic · #**1122** 04-23-2013, 10:56 AM

It's more than just a review, it's more of a documentary. A 10 hour documentary.

As long as he saw it recently, I'm fine with it. I'd have preferred it if he gave some of his own commentary, though.

Well, there's nothing much I could add. It's a review of a game. I can add that I like the way they interpret things and the way they review the whole saga. Better now?

Mac Sirloin · #**1125** 04-23-2013, 10:48 PM

Yeah, none of this fucking matters. I think that's what Nate is going for, not to stick meat in his mouth.

On that note, I've been watching Arrested Development. LOVE IT. BEST SHOW EVER. Season 3 isn't quite as great as Seasons 1 and 2 but it's such a snappy show I just want to unwatch it all and experience it for the first time.

I've also been watching Archer. It's...okay. I'm not a fan of the limited animation style that it adopted from the creator's previous show, Frisky Dingo. They're both very funny but sometimes the omnipresent Sex and Alcohol jokes just don't do anything for me.

Mr. Bungle · #**1126** 04-24-2013, 01:43 AM

Archer is just too much spies and alcohol for me to handle. Okay show, nothing special. I don't get it's so acclaimed. My friend makes me watch it every time we hang out and it's always either good or just average. But never great. Yet he thinks it's the best show ever.

Phylum · #**1127** 04-24-2013, 02:57 AM

It really has some great moments. The first few episodes I saw were good, but it hasn't quite captured that same feeling ever since. I don't know if I desensitized to the SPIES AND ALCOHOL or if those episodes were just funnier.

I think the first one I saw was part way through season 2, about catching some guy in a swamp. Someone who's seen more of the show than me can probably say if that's a good episode or not.

And Sealab 2021 before that.

Sekto Springs · #**1129** 04-24-2013, 01:24 PM

Well, Sealab was made recycling actual bits of the original show. Sealab is fucking sublime though.

Varrok · #**1130** 04-24-2013, 01:32 PM

I've just seen Johnny Got His Gun (1971). It's the most depressing, hope-crushing and faith-breaking movie I've ever seen. I suggest watching it with a little to no knowledge of what it's about.

Wings of Fire · #**1131** 04-24-2013, 01:36 PM

Too bad the vast majority of us have seen the One music video.

Varrok · #**1132** 04-24-2013, 01:40 PM

Damn you, Metallica! If it wasn't for you.... I'd probably have never heard about the movie. Nevermind, you're still cool.

Mr. Bungle · #**1133** 04-24-2013, 01:46 PM

I watched the video for One a few weeks ago, first time in a while. It hit me harder than I expected it to. Can't imagine how the movie would effect me. That subject matter just chills me to the bone.

Steamer_KING · #**1134** 04-29-2013, 02:58 PM

This is an analysis by a film analyst/producer/director/writer. It's a very unbiased analysis, but I think it's on point. The real subject here is the movie, but the videogame discussion is the core point of the analysis. Really good.

Mac Sirloin · #**1135** 04-29-2013, 03:17 PM

I just watched Black Death. It was much better than I assumed but it was dark as fuck and left me feeling very cold. Everything about it was solid, a lot of surprisingly clever cinematography and great acting. I got into a weird fit of instantly regarding historical fiction films as crap after seeing Clash of the Titans, but this broke all those presumptions down. The woman who plays a spooky witch on Game of Thrones also appeared as such in this, seeing her playing off of Sean Beans resolute Christian soldier was actually very cool seeing as their characters never crossed paths in GoT.

Now I'm watching Centurion. Lots of hairless barbarians in the opening. I don't think hairless barbarians is historically accurate enough for me to sit through this entire movie.

Dynamithix · #**1136** 05-01-2013, 12:05 PM

I saw Rob Zombie's new movie, The Lords of Salem. I'm not completely sure what I just watched but it had shit acting and faceless priests fondling their dicks. It was bad.

Sekto Springs · #**1137** 05-01-2013, 12:53 PM

Rob Zombie makes very personal movies, so they're always hit and miss. What little I read about it sounded pretty convoluted, which is certainly unexpected considering his movies are usually brutishly simple.

Mr. Bungle · #**1138** 05-01-2013, 05:13 PM

I saw Oblivion. It was kinda poop.

Bullet Magnet · #**1139** 05-02-2013, 01:44 PM

The pigeons and I saw Iron Man 3. I enjoyed the Croydon joke. I gave it the Least Likely Geographical Reference in an Iron Man Film Award.

Mr. Bungle · #**1140** 05-02-2013, 01:52 PM

Was the movie good? I might be seeing it this weekend. I've heard mixed things.
