no dont worry about that, just thought I would browse through if you had a list handy. Mine's here if you're interested:
http://nitin.dvdaf.com well this is quite possibly scarier than The Wire but its just as compelling and worthwhile. I am not sure I could have handled more than 7 episodes, 7 alone got me quite angry.
Great, really enjoyable, good balance of being nice and watchable and intriguing too. Some speechs made me smile too. Ending was weak and soppy though and the concept doesn't bear to deeper scrutiny.
Elise was very good and I utterly adored her in the early scenes. finally started this, only through episode one of the mini series and I can already tell this will be great stuff!
but after that it turned into gimmick of the week, seems like. I never finished season 2 maybe sometime I'll go back to it.
caprica seemed to show some promise with the terrorism/mafia/fbi/scifi/forthcoming doom angle, but it was cancelled. too different from BSG I guess. plus some of the female characters were a bit annoying. But it got a lot better towards the end of season two and the first half of season three is awesome awesome stuff. Then it remained awesome until season four, which is meandering a lot.
But all in all I have to agree with DaZ, it's my fave show of all time. It kept me on the edge of my seat like no other show, and it has had moments that literally made me jumpt out of my seat and go "YEAH" as well as moments that made me sad. It makes you care about the characters a lot. Is great, but only because there are so few good Scifi shows really... Still, definitely worth watching.
Tronym, Caprica? Seriously? It was horrible from the first few seconds of the opening, I don't know why I even watched the whole first season... Wasn't surprised in the least that it was canceled. The BSG guys tried starting some other show called Virtuality at one point after BSG finished (the pilot is findable online). Was a bit early to say, but I quite liked it, seemed interesting, I'm sad it never went any further than that. :( was really boring, unfortunately. The basic concept was interesting, but not very well executed. There is going to be a prequel show called "Blood and Chrome" however that is more like BSG and tells the story of the first Cylon war from the perspective of young Adama. Could be cool.
Finally got around to watching this, I can see why people compare it to District 9, but it's a very different movie, I quite enjoyed it.
It's far from perfect, you can feel that it was a pretty small budget, and kind of put together hap-hazardously, but it really clicked with me, the atmosphere was very absorbing. At times it reminded me bits of exploration in Half Life, Stalker, and even Fallout. P.S. : tentacle porn. saw it a few weeks ago, I quite liked it too.
Great mood IMHO. The leads had decent chemistry as well. It felt like a movie about people on their gap year, but with Cthuhlhu hanging out in the background. I really liked it, really natural dialogue, seems like a lot was ad-libbed.
Watched A Fistful of Dollars 2 nights ago. I don't usually like westerns much - the remake of Seven Samurai was enough to put my off, but this was an excellent movie! Although by todays standards it would probably be considered your typical popcorn blockbuster. Surprised it's not in the top 250.
Working my way through Battle of Algiers. Can usually only watch 30mins at a time so it's taking a bunch of sittings. the next 2, For a few Dollars More and The Good, the Bad & The Ugly are even better IMHO.
why 30 min sittings? Oh those are sequels! I just thought they were more westerns with Clinty. I'll have to get those now then.
Why 30min sittings... hmmm I guess it's just not enthralling enough. that movies like 3 and a half hours, but it's awesome the whole way through making it my one and only favorite western.
clint just plays the same character in them and they are all made by Sergio Leone in a similar style.
ok, so the 30 min reference was for Algiers only, not some restriction on how you're watching stuff. Must say if you have to do that to a movie, you're not really going to like it whether you stop halfway or finish. I already have my order placed for the upcoming blu ray of that one, cant wait to get my hands on it.
