It's Pratchett's fault for writing so many damn Diskworld books.

I've only actually read 3. Mort was not one of them.

MeechMunchie · #**902** 08-03-2012, 08:28 PM

I think they've all got "Discworld" written somewhere, though.

Hmm, 5:27. Maybe time to call it a nighjtf bhn n .

I exposed myself and my girlfriend to Lars Von Trier's Antichrist this week. I loved it, she hated it. Not "hated" in a "that movie was stupid" kind of way, but hated in a "that movie made me physically ill" kind of way, which is - of course - why I loved it.

I was originally put off seeing it because everyone was telling me how pointlessly gratuitous it was. Upon finally watching it, I didn't feel like the graphic imagery was really out of place. It was effective within the story. Besides, it wasn't the testicles being smashed with a log, or the woman's clitoris being explicitly severed by a pair of rusty scissors that disturbed me, or even Willem Dafoe's skinny, naked ass. It was the fucking talking, self-eviscerating fox that made me lose my shit.

I highly recommend it, but it's not a film for the faint of heart.

That's all I know about it. Apparently a lot of people in cinemas fainted.

Sekto Springs · #**905** 08-04-2012, 05:49 PM

In America maybe. In Europe, people loved it, but that's pretty typical of arthouse films.

I loved it. That scene was a bit intense, especially since it was shot so well and the prosthetic they used was very realistic, so I could understand why it would cause the average movie-goer to faint/vomit.

I’m just going to add my own addition to the pile of “saw the new Batman thing” posts.

Very entertaining, heavy on the action, had some real tense moments where my heart was in my mouth. Good end to the trilogy.

T-nex · #**907** 08-05-2012, 09:43 PM

Shit.. Looks like I'll have to watch Antichrist now. That just sounds awesome.

Mr. Bungle · #**908** 08-05-2012, 10:28 PM

I've been watching a lot of Adventure Time. I always liked it, but never really sank my teeth into it until the other day when my friend and I went on a binge and watched, like 15 episodes. Probably one of the best shows on TV right now. So much creativity, humor, and all around great storytelling.

Dynamithix · #**909** 08-06-2012, 05:01 AM

The new Breaking Bad episode. It was pretty interesting but I wish they'd just kill off Skyler already. She's not bringing anything to the series, she's just a bitch standing in everyone's way. Also, this scene was fucking dumb to be honest, I mean, it just doesn't fit Breaking Bad, I thought it was unintentionally funny.

I also watched the fourth season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia today, goddamn this show is funny. The poop episode was great and the one with Sinbad and Rob Thomas. Great show.

JennyGenesis · #**910** 08-06-2012, 05:26 AM

OMG, THE PREVIEW IMAGE BEFORE YOU CLICK PLAY LITERALLY MADE ME JIZZ!

CARS!

And sexy cars at that, well, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 anyway, Chryslers suck.

Yeah I'm having this conversation by myself aren't I.

OANST · #**911** 08-06-2012, 06:16 AM

I finished watching season 4 of Breaking Bad last night. That was a fantastic season of television. I really had no complaints. If only the other season's plots had been that air tight.

Also, I've been watching The Newsroom. What an awful piece of shit. This show just gets worse, and worse. I was hoping that this could be a good vehicle for Sorkin's self righteousness as he writes truly amazing stuff when standing on the right soap box, but the show has quickly become undeservedly arrogant, and tedious. Last night's episode about the announcing of the death of Bin Laden was possibly the most infuriating hour of television I have ever watched. These smug fucks make me physically sick to watch, and I can't imagine that this show will get a second season.

* Supernatural, last part of season 5.

* Adventures of Merlin, watched on saturday...

Watching Wilfred US again, not seen it in ages, man I love this programme. Also downloading the recent episodes of South Park, can't wait.

Sekto Springs · #**914** 08-06-2012, 10:05 AM

It was made by Lars Von Trier, so it should hit close to home.

I remember you and I actually passed some AntiChrist posters while walking around downtown when I was visiting you in Denmark.

I like Wilfred a lot, but I haven't seen an episode yet that I found funny enough for me to love it. I'll keep trying though.

JennyGenesis · #**915** 08-06-2012, 12:17 PM

Deadheads,

A very tongue in cheek take on the zombie apocalypse genre of movies, it's a little hard to describe, and the plot would just sound ridiculous if I posted it here, but it was a lot of fun, as long as you don't take it seriously you can get a good bit of enjoyment out of it.

Nepsotic · #**916** 08-06-2012, 12:53 PM

The same can't be said for Scary Movie, or Teen Movie, or Disaster Movie, or any of the Movie films, they're all terrible.

JennyGenesis · #**917** 08-06-2012, 12:57 PM

Oddly enough, I am watching Disaster Movie right now, so I will just copy and paste my Facebook status here.

:

Once again I am asking myself, why the fuck am I here watching Disaster Movie? I seriously think that somehow it's awfulness manages to attract me, it's not even a case of "It's so bad it's good" either, it is just plain awful.

Mac Sirloin · #**918** 08-07-2012, 06:48 AM

I've been watching Season 2 of The Walking Dead. I was evasive of this show at first because I really quickly got sick of the Graphic Novel series that just dragged on and on with little happening, until wow zam! last issue has all the plot exposition you could want.. The show, despite being fairly full of nothing in its own right, still spreads everything out pretty evenly so that the nothing is countered by the occasional head-crushing.

It's also substantially altered the source material. This I don't mind, except for the character of Carl. Everything else I chock up to thematic decisions that make sense for television, but Carl is such a tremendous dip in the show that he bears exception. Partially this is the fact that kids are always and forever terrible actors, but in the comic I don't recall him running around in circles about a zombie, creeping around to watch executions and just generally being disobedient. It really messes up the flow of the show when a plot thread hinges on Carl fucking up again in the exact opposite way he was directed.

OANST · #**919** 08-07-2012, 09:26 AM

I find everything that isn't Shane to be unbearable. I can't imagine how much I'll hate the third season.

Dynamithix · #**920** 08-07-2012, 10:12 AM

I won't like the third season at all if it takes place only in that stupid town that they showed in the comic-con trailer.

STM · #**921** 08-07-2012, 10:24 AM

Repo Men. It was an okay film, but I can see why it was a box office flop. I also don't much care for gore porn so I spent about fifteen minutes looking away.

Dynamithix · #**922** 08-07-2012, 10:36 AM

Repo Men was awful.

Gore porn as in tearing someones clitoris off while doing them? Or just porn in a gorey film?

If it's either of those then I wouldn't recommend Evil Aliens.
Actually I'd never recommend Evil Aliens. To anyone.

STM · #**924** 08-07-2012, 11:25 AM

Do you think I'd watch someone tearing a woman's clit off?

No one answer that. Bastards.

Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory

This film never fails to bring a smile to my face and is way better than the Tim Burton version.

OANST · #**926** 08-07-2012, 03:31 PM

Way better is a bit of an understatement. The original is a classic, and the Burton version is a completely forgettable flash of colors.

The Tim Burton version is shit, especially compared to the original. Gene Wilder is the only real Willy Wonka, I think.

Didn't that movie flop because everyone recognized it as a garish, non-musical rip off of Repo! The Genetic Opera?

Or was it just bad enough to flop on it's own?

Agreed. I love the original and something about the modern one just doesn't feel right. maybe it was the fact that Jonny Depp made Willy Wonka too creepy and mad. I prefer the songs in the modern one though. They were oddly catchy.
