I really like the added scenes, they all add something to the underlying topics and sense of place/disonant societies. 

but they kill the pacing bigtime IMHO. 

Just watched this after not seeing it for years, and it's still one of my favorite horror movies. I've yet to see a monster as scary/gross/awesome as the thing. 

Be sure to check out the original 50s one too - The Thing from Another World. It can't top Carpenter's remake but still remains a memorable piece of classic sci-fi. 

So which scenes are added? I've seen the movie twice, both of which I believe was Redux, and it's still one of my all-time favorites. Interested in finding out what I'd think of the original cut. 

is the french planatation scene. Another playboy bunny scene compared to the original plus various other bits and pieces. 

Cute girl with ninja skills gets civilization shock and kills bad guys. Kinda cool, in a Leon sort of way. Lots of running to Chemical Brothers music and awkward German spoken by Americans. 

Rio (2011)
Animation movie for kids, lots of singing, all clichees served, predictable like it should be. I did not enjoy it much. 

so second season of BSG (halfway though, they've just met Pegasus) is still pretty kick ass, what were the complaints? 

I think the second half of S2 gets a bit slow, focusing on internal problems in the fleet. I think it's the episodes between "Resurrection Ship" and "Lay Down Your Burdens". Then it gets fantastic again for the first part of S3... but I think that some of the later episodes of S3 are a bit meh again. But all in all, this is nitpicking, because even when it's meh, BSG is still pretty damn fine due to the great cast, music and visual quality.

Also, do not forget to watch the Webisodes which were released between seasons and make absolutely sure to watch the movie "Razor" between S3 and S4 - it's fucking great, esp. if you like the Pegasus angle. After finishing the series, you could watch another TV movie called "The Plan", but it's really bad... really really bad. 

yeah have Razor and the Plan, didnt know about webepisodes. 

They're not really necessary to understand the plot development, but do show some insight into the background. Some of them have also been incorporated into Razor IIRC. 

Paul
My expectations were too high. This was not an Edgar Wright movie. I did not really like the trailer and the movie itself was quite like it. Not bad at all, but nowhere near what Pegg & Frost are known for.


Rango
Extremely weird and a lot of fun. Great music and characters. Thoroughly enjoyed it! 

I didnt like it either. Mainly because I didnt like Paul, I found his character to be an unconvincing annoying sarcastic american-sounding alien. Which didnt make sense to me. 

Castle got better a few episodes in Season 2 but now I am on that double(?) episode with the FBI guys with that FUCKING RIDICULOUS CSI CRAP. Fuck this. 

not sure I'm 100% sold on everything, but at least 80% of it is phenomenal and a masterpiece of visual storytelling.

If you have any interest in seeing it, make sure its on as big a screen as possible.

Very strong, very disturbing, excellent photography, a bit slow paced / painful to watch in the second half (I think on purpose), nice music if you can stand 80ies synths.

definitely recommended if you like disturbing movies. 

it's not really a horror or splatter movie, more like a psychological drama that doesn't shy away from strong images. 

Can't begin to describe how much the 13 months of wait have paid off... 

spoil it! Just saying. 

My dad has cable, I do not, and he messaged me saying "OMG" after the Breaking Bad premiere.

I ignored him.

P.S. I misspelled Breaking Bad, and got Breadking Band. I don't know how that happened.

Yup, it was worth the wait. 

I would say that I loved about 3/4 of this season and that is more than I can say for a show like Fringe, which I enjoy but find too frustrating for its many missed opportunities.

Great setup for S3, but wont watch that straight away. Mad Men S4, Lost S6 and John Adams are next in the queue.
