Why hasn't this happened yet, Criterion?

I always liked Gattaca. I know it gets a lot of crap from people, but I enjoyed it.

Also for anyone that hasn't seen Dark City yet, if you do watch it, mute your tv for the first three or four minutes.

>>31771
Or watch the Director's Cut.

>>31772
Yeah, this. The version I just watched is the Director's cut.

>>31771
What happened at the beginning of the theatrical version?

>I always liked Gattaca. I know it gets a lot of crap from people, but I enjoyed it.
I felt the same way about Equilibrium.

Whoops, missed this SYM thread

>>31773
The theatrical cut has an opening narration that spoils the ever-loving fuck out of the movie, which was apparently included at the last-minute at the studio's behest. In fact, I'm pretty sure the speech is lifted from a late point in the film. (I just watched the intro on Youtube and all I can say is "Why would you do that?!?!?!")

My experience with Dark City was similar to yours. The first time I watched it was during a movie marathon in high school. I was so tired and barely cognizant of what was happening onscreen by that point that a lot of it didn't register, but the film still made an impression, so when I watched it years later, the story was unfamiliar, but certain details and the feel and atmosphere had remained with me.

Anyway, to reiterate: if you watch Dark City, either go with the director's cut, or mute the sound until Kiefer Sutherland looks at his watch!

Saw The Woman In Black a couple days ago. Not bad, bit too many jump scares though. My friend fucking hated it and refused to stop complaining about it.

God this movie is even WORSE the second time around. Fortunately Kevin, Mike, and Bill can make anything watchable.

Dave Grohl is fucking awesome. This was his speech from the Grammys last night, when the Foo Fighters won for best Rock Performance. In my opinion, they were the only ROCK BAND nominated for a ROCK award. I'm sorry, Mumford & Sons and Coldplay are NOT rock. Anyways, I think he makes the best point here about music.

"To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of music is what's important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do... It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head]."

Oh, and, Grohl was cut off with LMFAO in the midst of giving this speech. Bullshit.

God fucking DAMN it, Warwick Davies, don't link me to interviews where Ricky Gervais goes "It's funny when I'm offensive, because I'm so smart and popular!" in your tweets.

Seriously, Gervais has written some of the finest comedies in modern television, but he is pretty much turning into a parody of himself.

Saw it, loved it. I feel like this is a better adaptation of Akira than the inevitable American remake would ever be. And then I horrified myself when I realized just how goddamn much I related to Andrew, at least in the first half.

>>31903
Brother?

>>31903
I liked it, but I also probably would have liked it if the whole movie was just the three of them being jackasses with their power. Also god damn it movie I thought we were past killing the black guy.

>>31903
>>31904
So glad I wasn't the only one who thought of this when I saw that poster. I liked Push, thought it was an interesting take on powers and categories of powers. Haven't seen Chronicle yet, but I probably will soon.

that feel when your favorite character is coming back after his 'death' to your favorite trashy supernatural cw show and now you must catch up to be ready hahaha oh my god the silliest things make me happy

>>31806
beautiful

>>31903
I saw this twice. I went last week with my cousin and enjoyed it, then I went again with a friend and noticed a few things. During most of the movie we are watching what was filmed by Andrew's cam, then by the tower we watch through the cames Andrew pics up from the tourists, but when they are both at the plaza with the indian statue and Matt flies away, what came got a close up of his face? And all the things that happened just before? Andrew's first cam was crappy so the video quality was crappy, if these were a bunch of phones, I think they also should have been of a slightly lesser quality than his regular cam.

I also saw the Grey last week, which was weird. It felt like 2 movies smashed together. I mean I enjoyed it, but the scenes with his wife felt very different from the scenes with the guys getting taken out 1 by 1 by the wolves.

I'm enjoying Misfits. The odd tits are nice, but the stories are interesting and some of the powers are kind of off-the-wall, like the black chick's "turn men into rapists" power. The black chick is also super hot, hopefully she'll do full frontal at some point.

The reason I keep saying "black chick" is because the only person's name I've learned, despite watching about 12 episodes, is Curtis's (the black dude). Can't remember any of their other names to save my life.

I just wish they'd get a bit more creative, the episodes are all named "Episode X".

Coriolanus - Official UK Trailer

now that, feels like a good movie.

>>31913
You should know Nathan's name because he's the best character.

>>31913
Black chick's name is Rape-chan. Gosh
Nathan, Curtis, and Simon are the only names I can remember right away.

I appreciate what they tried to accomplish in this movie, but the execution was terrible.

>>31918
I think Rape-chan's name started with an "A." Like "Alicia" or "Aisha" or something like that. I don't remember what the Chav girl's name was.

>>31928
I think it's a perfectly fine movie, definitely better than the Hulk movie that came after it, as long as one is willing to accept the lengthy running time and visual flourish Ang Lee brings to it. Yes, it's quite odd in the way it's made, but it does manage to be more than just a brainless "HULK SMASH" overdone CGI filler-flick for the Marvel Movie-verse.

Conan renewed through 2014:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/tbs-renews-conan-through-2014,69756/

His show is mostly background noise to me now, but it's good to see Conan's new show will outlive his short-lived stunt on The Tonight Show. His ratings still aren't great, but TBS constantly playing The Big Bang Theory before Conan seems to have given the show a boost. Although, it makes me think TBS will try to kick it up a notch by playing an episode of Conan on a tiny screen during the TBBT, or plaster Sheldon's face over Conan's.

I didn't mind the most recent Hulk movie, although I've never really felt an urge to watch it again.

>>31945
>outlive his short-lived stunt on The Tonight Show.

It is seriously depressing that Joan Rivers hosted more episodes of the Tonight Show than Conan did.

John Carter is looking like another bomb for Disney if they don't do something fast:

Watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox with my brother tonight and wondered at length how it could possibly have lost the Oscar and then I remembered it was up against... well, Up. But I don't know.

I've never seen Blade Runner. Heresy, I know. I want to correct that, but there's like seven versions of it. Which one of them is the best, definitive version of the film?

>>32188
...why?

>>32204
Go for the 2007 one.

>>32204
Ridley Scott's 'Final Cut' (not to be mistaken for the somewhat incorrectly-named 'Director's Cut') is generally accepted as the definitive version now. Really, all five versions have their merits and different contexts/meanings, but if you're only up for watching one, go for the Final Cut.

>"When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable." - Michael Bay

>>32277
WHY.

>>32277

My only real problem with this is that Michael Bay completely disregards the core of anything he touches. He misses the point, and his company is just sort of like, "hey, Friday the 13th? That's the hockey mask guy? Okay, remake."

Like... I really don't CARE if anyone rewrites their origin, because it was a shameful Frank Miller ripoff to begin with, just a joke, like who cares? There were ducks from outerspace in the cartoons and comics, and let us not forget the Triceradons. Frankly, that isn't the problem. It's that Michael Bay doesn't know his ass from his elbow, and will not pull this off correctly.

>>32282

Forgot to mention that the mutagen being of Utrom origin, they were always extraterrestrial in a way. Not alien from space, but still. I feel like that aspect itself isn't the bad thing about this announcement, and that Michael Bay himself is the part that should be stressed as being absolutely the worst thing to happen to the franchise ever. With the exception of the Image comics, of course. As bad as the Transformers movies were, I'll take them over Image Turtles any day of the week.

>>32277
>These turtles are from an alien race
Completely missing the point of the "mutant" part.

Cool. Marc Maron's WTF TV pilot was picked up by IFC:

http://www.avclub.com/articles/marc-marons-wtf-sitcom-gets-picked-up-by-ifc,71104/

http://www.deadline.com/2012/03/disney-expects-200m-loss-for-john-carter/

>“In light of the theatrical performance of John Carter ($184 million global box office), we expect the film to generate an operating loss of approximately $200 million during our second fiscal quarter ending March 31. As a result, our current expectation is that the Studio segment will have an operating loss of between $80 and $120 million for the second quarter. As we look forward to the second half of the year, we are excited about the upcoming releases of The Avengers and Brave, which we believe have tremendous potential to drive value for the Studio and the rest of the company.”

Disney really needs to stop making these expensive tentpole films. They're just not good at it.

>>32307
Even for Disney that's a huge kick in the nuts.

>>32307
I blame the really shitty marketing teams and Andrew Stanton's misguided belief that John Carter was still seen as an iconic literature character when trying to market the film.

>>32307
Ouch. I heard it wasn't even that bad of a film.

>>32314

It really isn't that bad. It's just 30 years too late.

>>32313
>misguided belief that John Carter was still seen as an iconic literature character

>>32443
Hey, finally a trailer for that!

A bit dissappointed that it's gone the 'quirky character comedy' route, rather than the 'insane fully realized memetic mutation' route (with Conan O'Brien as Emperor Conan I, LORD OF THE FUTURE, actual timetravel, etc.) But this looks enjoyable too.

The fact that the trailer didn't have anything about limits being pushed to was disheartening, though.

So I watched The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and honestly I don't think it was all that grand.
I felt like many little visual bits were "Ask me what it means" moments, or they just didn't mean much at all. I felt the story was all over the place at times, or that some things just didn't make sense.
I will say Heath Ledger (and by proxy, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Ferrell) was great in it.
Christopher Plumber was ok, and Tom Waits was, well, Tom Waits.
Can't say too much for the other characters, except I did not like Anton.

>>32843
This makes me a sad man :(.

I decided to rent the Alien quadrilogy from Netflix. Upon putting in the disc I get to chose between Theatrical Release and Special Edition. Does anybody know what the difference is?

>>32857
Theatrical release is the original shown in theaters. Special edition is basically a directors cut that adds a number of cut scenes that, while not integral to the film, greatly improve the characterization. Careful though, special edition reaches Kurosawa-lengths. Not an easy one to sit down and watch all the way through.

>>32858

Different anon, but watch the theatrical cut and save the director's cut for a second viewing if you really like it?

I generally watch the basic version of something first just to get a feel of it and see if I can take the shorter version before delving into a three-hour version.

Rented Mission: Impossible: Ghost Protocol last night and totally had a blast watching it. I was afraid of being lost on the film, since I've only seen the original Mission Impossible movie, but Ghost Protocol works well independently and clues you in on everything you need to know about Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, and his loyal band of misfits.

While the movie is more driven by its spectacles than it characters, it's forgiven because the spectacles in the film were really cool and makes you feel like you're on a fun roller coaster ride the whole time. The story was also simple, but Brad Bird throws in all these twist and turns to make it feel fresh, instead of mundane, and makes sure every scene is not wasted. There's also some good subversions as well, such as Ethan walking out of the phone booth like it's about to explode, but only fizzles in the end, which is the opposite of what happens when he walks out of the Kremlin.

I'm disappointed Bird won't return for another MI film, but he left his mark on the franchise and will continued to produce wonderful films in the future--animated or live action. Now I'm wondering if I should give the previous two films a try.

My love of both Deadly Premonition and Psych has finally gotten me watching this bad boy on Netflix Instant. Even though I'm spoiled on Bob, it's gripping as hell. Heard S2's crap though.

Anchorman 2 Teaser Trailer 2 […

HE HAS RETURNED

>>33162
Oh.
Uh, cool.

Kevin Smith, the director of such great films like Clerks and... um... Well, anyway, he's getting a show on Hulu:

>Smith will host the new series Spoilers, a half-hour talk show that finds him taking a studio audience along to this summer's biggest films—"on opening day, none of this early bullshit, ain’t doing it like those critics, doing it legit," as Smith puts it in this Wired interview, in keeping with his oft-repeated-since-everyone-hated-Cop Out assertions that critics should have to pay for his movies if they're just going to be jerks who find fault with them.

>"We don’t review movies, we revere movies," Smith elaborates of his "anti-movie review show," a self-described Donahue-style "gabfest" that will find Smith getting the opinions of 50 real movie fans—liberated from under the iron fist of the powerful film critic industry, and the Stalinist dogma of its mightily wielded opinions that have for too long totally directed the course of the American box office—then cramming all of their revere-iews into a 30-minute show that will also find room for still more chatting with celebrity guests, Jason Mewes acting out movie scenes, animated shorts (and jean shorts), and presumably a tangent or 12 from Smith. Finally, a film discussion forum that's unafraid to come right out and call something "awesome."

http://www.avclub.com/articles/kevin-smith-launches-new-talk-show-frees-movies-fr,75510/

Wait. The director of Red State, Cop Out, and Zack and Miri Make a Porno hates film critics? why would that be?

>>33168
In his defense, his movies (even his bad ones) have always been popular among a cult audience with, with mere forays into relevance outside of that specific demographic. In his case, traditional movie reviews really aren't that helpful for anyone--people who enjoyed Mallrats are likely going to enjoy Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and people who hated it probably aren't. Beyond that any additional information a critic could add is more or less superfluous.

>>33168

>dude gets power in Hollywood
>uses it to bring voices of regular moviegoers to public space

>>33171
Regular viewers being known for their love of Red State and Cop Out.

>>33172

>a half-hour talk show that finds him taking a studio audience along to this summer's biggest films

Yeah, you're totally right, all they're gonna talk about are Smith's movies.

>>33173
No, I'm saying you're implication that Smith somehow represents the regular movie-going audience is fucking ridiculous.

>>33174

I gotta agree.

Where's da Jazz, meng?

>>33178
>>33179
1) lol Rodyle opinions and 2) i love soundtrack dissonance. I'm sure the actual movie will have some jazz, but this is Baz Luhrman, the reigning king of combining old with new.

That is awful music, just the ABSOLUTE WORST.

I'm sure it will be great, but my fuck that is incredibly offputting, that fucking screeching bullshit? WHY?

That said OH MY FUCK THOSE VISUALS HNNNNNNNGH

Oh, Daniel Craig is still supposed to be James Bond.

Huh. Go figure.

Oh that makes so much sense. Maybe I should re-read the book. High school English lit made me loathe the novel.

>>33176
I love it already.

>>33198
It was one of the only novels I read for high school English that I actually enjoyed.

I kept thinking of my teacher during the trailer. She once told me about how much she hated one of the film adaptations because it made the whole thing about Gatsby and Daisy and portrayed their relationship as a ~*~rrrrrrrrromance~*~ instead of a train wreck. I wonder if this one will satisfy her? On the other hand Baz likes his sweeping romances, so who can say.

I feel like one of the only people who actually liked the original Great Gatsby movie.

Or whichever one had the guy from Law and Order in it.

Aww hell yeah, there's other people who liked the one with Waterston in it!

In all honesty, I'm worried about this new one, something seems...off.
It seems like something are being too exaggerated, while I also don't have high hopes for it being entirely true to the original.

>>33231

>>33213
I felt the same way. It's not the end-all-be-all I'd hoped it would be, but it's very solid and I have no complaints about it.

>>33233
Sam Waterston is amazing. It's nice, after seeing years and years of Law and Order reruns, seeing him in something else.

I'm hesitant too. Baz Luhrmann never struck me as my cup of tea...I'm not a BIG SWEEPING RRRROMAAAANCE kind of person.

>>33238
Tiki told me to post that he's "joking about his own ignorance" since he's currently banned. :V

>>33242
Oh damn. When did that happen?

>>33243
Just a misunderstanding, s'cleared up.

>>33242
>>33238
Yeah, I was actually impressed by the relevance of the song to the story, so it made me feel as though my initial response was old and ignorant because "I hate young folks musick" I figured I'd joke about it, but sarcastic old man voices don't translate well to text, though I thought "hoopin' and hollerin'" combined with the ignorant old man picture would let on, so I apologize Nurse.

MIB III is pretty neat

It has a new trailer for Batman which shows how terrible it's going to be. All I could think was "oh my god it's going to be the worst"

but MIB III was good.

>>33248
I thought MIB III looked pretty good from the trailers and whatnot. Or at least "better than MIB II" but I don't think that's worth much.

>>33248
How good? "See it in the cinema" good, or "worth a rental" good?

>No new Rifftrax for ages
goood I just want the last two Potter movies

>>33281
>>33256
Different Anon here, but I'd say it's probably more of a rental than a "see it now" flick. Unless you want to go to the theater and see a bunch of special effects and eat popcorn--it's a perfectly good reason to do those two things. But if money's tight or you just don't like going to the theater except for special occasions, it's probably not worth splurging on.

>>33308
I heard that Theron is awesome in this movie, but that it's like all of her scenes are in a completely different movie from what Stewart is in, because Theron's acting is so much better than Stewart's.

Also, here's something that's bugged me ever since I saw the first trailer:
>Movie trying to say that Stewart's character is somehow going to trump Theron's character in looks at some point in time and be the fairest of them all
Yeeeaaaahh...maybe in 40 years or so, if Theron's character stops doing all of her beauty treatments. And even then it's iffy.

For the record, I do think, in the right lighting and costuming/makeup/whatev, K. Stewart has the potential to be pretty. But putting her next to C. Theron? Nope; girl looks mousey-plain and no amount of costuming/makeup/lighting/whatev can change that.

>>33310
Maybe in this case "Fair" just means "Pale."


Because, you know, Kristen Stewart looks like she's hemophilic.

Oh wow...Eric Prydz finally got that album that was in the works for 8 years out.

Pryda - Shadows (Eric Prydz) [OUT NOW]

Finished watching the second season of Sherlock off of PBS' website yesterday and there are no words for how much this series shames the Guy Ritchie films.

I find it interesting that Sherlock and Doctor Who recently ended with the main characters faking their own death and being forced to work back in the shadows. People often draw comparisons between Sherlock and the Doctor, so I'm quite interested in seeing how Steve Moffat handles the similar set-up for these characters next season.

>>33329

>Stephen Moffat handling anything at all with any degree of skill or tact
>ever

Oh you.

>>33336
He's not that bad.

>>33341

>ruining the Weeping Angels
>making River Song unlikeable
>throwing the Doctor's pacifism out the window entirely
>Amy Pond, Amy Pond everywhere, all the time, because thatshisfetish.jpg

I politely disagree

>>33343
>>throwing the Doctor's pacifism out the window entirely

That was just 10.
No other Doctor was really a pacifist, and even with 10, he was STILL a really, really bad pacifist.

I dunno anything about Trashcans and Telephone Booths but you're crazy if you think Moffat Sherlock is bad (except that fuck they got to play Moriarty, he's pretty awful).

And that's coming from someone whose initial reaction to the idea of Modern Day Sherlock was disgust.

>>33343
Yeah. Russel T Davies Rose fetishism was so much better.

>>33350
We do not speak of that.

I wish someone had a fetish for Donna.

>>33351
Donna truly was the best companion for the Doctor. She just wanted to be his friend and their chemistry was better for it. Such a shame she starred in such a mediocre season.

>>33353
and they plot locked her from ever rejoining the cast as a guest.

>>33343
>>making River Song unlikeable

You LIKED River Song?

>>watching TV show or movie
>>I FUCKING KNOW THAT ACTOR. I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE IN THIS!
>>spend rest of episode/movie staring at them whenever they are on screen

So the new Snow White was alright.
A little long and disjointed, but pretty and emotional.
Also, Kristen Stewart's FAAAAAAAAACE.

>>33356
Who doesn't?

Prometheus opens this Friday, yet, I don't really care. The film looks like every generic sci-fi movie that's been released and the ads have done a terrible job at selling the story. All I'm getting so far is that the generic space crew finds something, hears the annoying sound from the trailer, then they run for their lives. I can't seem to muster up any excitement for the movie like everybody else has.

>>33359
Just finished reading Michael Scott's review for the film and from the sound of it, the movie is one big missed opportunity:

http://dorkmanscott.wordpress.com/2012/06/02/movie-review-snow-white-and-the-huntsman/

He also complained about Kristen Stewart being Kristen Stewart:

>I don’t have any kind of principled hatred of Kristen Stewart, but the girl is monotone incarnate. She has absolutely no screen presence, literally just has the same look on her face the whole movie. We can only gauge her emotions by how many saline tears the makeup department squirted into her eyes before each take. She has little enough to work with, it’s true, but I couldn’t help thinking what a more charming actor — Emma Watson, for example — could have done with the role, with just the odd twinkle of the eye or slight twist of the lip.

>>33364
>hears the annoying sound from the trailer
I knew they'd overdo it.

>>33364

Emma Watson is just as bad as Kristen Stewart, she just has more fans.

Also, that's pretty harsh. Kristen Stewart's acting prowess goes way beyond a simple with or without tears version.

For instance, did you know she can portray frustration if she puts her hand on top of her head, or tussles her hair? She has talent!

>>33343
>ruining the Weeping Angels
Ruining the characters HE created. Also, RUINED HOW?!

>making River Song unlikeable
Haha, fuck off

>throwing the Doctor's pacifism out the window entirely
Dude...how long have you been WATCHING Doctor Who? The Doc has never been a PERFECT pacifist. Hell, 7 had some VERY dark and calculating moments. And either 8 or 9 ended the Time War by, essentially, removing the Daleks and Time Lords from existence. And as much as people like to throw out the whole, OH WELL TENNANT WAS A PACIFIST, I'd like to say HORSESHIT. There are PLENTY of example of him just outright ganking an alien or entire race. Look at Runaway Bride. He gives the spider-woman a chance, she doesn't take it, he wrecks her shit

>Amy Pond, Amy Pond everywhere, all the time, because thatshisfetish.jpg
As opposed to ROSE TYLER ALL DAY ERRYDAY? Because THAT wasn't annoying, right? Seriously. At least Amy didn't whine and reduce the doctor to a love-sick schoolboy.

>>33380
This!!!
Amy: You seem to get along well with kids. Have you ever had any?
Rose: OMG YOU WERE A DAD!?!?! BUT....BUT....THAT MEANS YOU LOVED SOMEONE WHO ISN'T ME!!!!!!!!!!!

Rose Tyler is my favorite New Who companion. I genuinely don't see any problems with her or her relationship with the Doctor, only that it ended.

>>33387
She was brilliant with the 9th Doctor. She could be selfish, but she was very human and she was an anchor to the Doctor. I liked her in some episodes with Tennant's Doctor, but the love story between her and the Doctor was pushed way too often by tht point and she started acting less "human" and more like a spoiled brat who wanted her boyfriend all to herself. She went downhill for me, though I don't hate her. I'm just tired of how she was pushed down my gullet at times. Donna will always be my favorite new Who companion, followed by Rory.

>Re-watching T2 for the first time in a long time

Yeesh the acting is horrid..aside from the T-800.

>>33389
>>33387
Rose is my favorite too. Her season with Nine is basically perfect and the only times she really acts like a spoiled brat with Ten is right after he regenerated (you know that hugely surprisingly thing he does when he dies that he never bothered to give her a heads up about) and the Girl in the Mirror, which was written by Moffat fancy that. The "I was a dad once" ; "what?" exchange was kind of expected really because again, he's still dropping new information on her and she's like what? 20-21? yeah it'd shock anyone. I can see why someone might not like her, but her and Donna are tied for my favorite (with Rory close behind)

>>33457
I think what we take for granted with long-running shows like Doctor Who and so on are that with each new character, or with someone joining in for the first time, things we've known for awhile need to be explained yet again, they don't just know stuff we already know right off the bat. So when Rose didn't know things like that, we can't really blame her.

>>33468
Ooh, it even comes in a special nostalgiafag pack!

>Finsihed up "Chuck" on Netflix
I'm trying to pin down when exactly it was this show became awful, and I want to say it was sometime in Season 3. I mean, I still liked the Buy More crew and their weird shenanigans through to the end, but the "serious" parts of the show got TERRIBLE. I hated Chuck, Sarah, Ellie, Devon... most of the cast that wasn't Morgan and the Buy More workers really, I hated them by the end. The creators mention that they explicitly were aiming for 5 seasons so they could do syndication reruns and GOD could you ever tell because this show was stretched out WAY beyond what the basic premise could really manage.

>>33562
I still liked it into the fifth season... but after they made the Intersect a kung fu database, the show lost a lot of it's charm. When it was a weird, organic cross referencing intel database trapped in a dude's head, everything was hunky dory, they had the nice hook of "normal guy gets dragged into espionage" etc.

Then, like you said, around the third season, the show started to suffer. Rather than just having Chuck acclimate himself to being a spy... they change what the intersect was to make it even more of a macguffin. It turned into something that gives you skills, instead of being something that gives you information. And after that, the show was only as good as it's villains. So S3 Shaw, and Volkoff in S4 made the show watchable... but even then, Fulcrum was made into part of the Ring... which was beaten through contrivance. Neither group was ever really explained. The show becomes increasingly about the acquisition/exploitation of the new, less interesting Intersect. The fifth season goes in circles, and ends in the worst possible way.

>As we tweeted about earlier today, Nickelodeon/Nick@Nite will be airing All That and Kenan & Kel next Monday-Thursday at 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET/PT, respectfully.

I guess Nick is hoping their nostalgia flavored shows will help boost Nick and Nite's sagging ratings. I hope this succeeds, so they can re-air Pete and Pete as well.

To be fair he was sane when he was in the army. The only details he warped were the ones relating directly to him finding out who he was and what he done.

I was thinking of buying my dad Game of Thrones on DVD, because it's one of the few things he watches on TV (to the point of being serious business about it). I might buy him the books too, but to be honest, I haven't seen him read anything non-work-related in my entire life, so I don't know if that's a good idea.

He's okay with letting me borrow his DVD's, so I might start watching them once we buy them. I've admittedly never watched anything on HBO (other than Flight of The Conchords), so I'm not sure if watching the show together would be a good idea or not.

It's weird how almost every movie nowadays is based on something, but the majority of the adaptions we get aren't that close to the source material- almost as if they use the original plot as a mold for a completely different story.

Stephen Fry and the Holmes/Moriarty scenes aside, I think I prefer the first movie.

But they make "I, Robot" and Disney's "Hunchback of Notre Dame" look faithful to the source material. Holmes really wasn't a character invented with big Hollywood blockbusters in mind.

To be fair, Hollywood has a history of having a hard time with detective story adaptations in general.

I think the main problem with that is actually making him Sherlock and calling her Watson. Its always much better when they are characters based on the basic archetypes of the Duo.

>Shawn and Gus are Holmes and Watson
Damn my name suits me so incredibly well.

I've yet to see Game of Shadows but I will say that Guy Ritchie Sherlock 1 was barely a mystery so in that sense yeah it's not very good (still a fun movie though). But RDJ and Jude are a FANTASTIC Holmes and Watson.

Yeah, I'll buy that.

The CBS problem is that they are already doing the Female Watson bit. Likely they want to have something to replace their current runner of that due this being its final season.

Because Sherlock Holmes has been interpreted a million times, so another version won't hurt.

They were parts of the cauldron. I didn't get it either until they lit it and then I thought it was a beautiful idea.

The only consistently great part of that show is Cho.

and in the last episode they'll flip his switch and roll him off to storage.

I'm just gonna state it flat out.

If you ever liked any shaky cam movie then you are a cancer and a pox, you are the death of good horror movies incarnate, especially if said shaky movie contained CGI.
