Expected cheap rubbish but found it to be thoroughly entertaining. Good pacing, heartwarming story, great humor. I can't stand the zombie hype but this "Comedy, Horror, Romance" was well done. 

And I can't believe there is only one mention of The West Wing here, a thrilling and fun series about the people working in the White House. Highly recommended if you are looking for a new old series to watch. 

The West Wing. Probably the best show I have ever seen aside from BSG. 

"about the people working in the White House" that sounds utterly boring lol 

but I did find later seasons to get repetitive. 

some cool action but dumber and more generic than the last one. 

 

going to see American Mary tomorrow night with my friends. Don`t know anything about it going in, so I hope it fucks me up. 

have you seen a british horror (I think its really sruvival thrller) called Eden Lake? Any good? 

Yeah, it`s good. not perfect, but very good.

Good old fashioned xenophobia! 

 

New Star Trek: err, not bad, not as good as the last one, the Sherlock guy is awesome, but the Spock thing is getting old, and what's with the franchise-friendly refusal to kill characters? Pisses me off.

Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan: Well, it's weird watching something from this long ago, but even if the costume designers were ridiculous (Khan's cleavage) the writers were braver.

Deep Space Nine: Watched only a few episodes so far, but despite the fact that I find all "humanoid" makeup cheesy as hell (I'd almost rather them just take the superman approach of having the aliens look human on the one hand, or the extremely inhuman aliens on the other), the politics and intrigue and etc seems pretty promising.

On an unrelated note, I also saw Angel Heart for the first time. Hard to believe that's Mickey Rourke, though his performance is awesome, plus Robert DeNiro as Satan and the actress who plays Epiphany Proudfoot is ridiculously hot, even if the end is somewhat predictable the imagery and atmosphere is super creepy. Remind me not to sell my soul. 

I meant Babylon Five, not Deep Space Nine - lol - and I even asked him, "I thought Babylon Five was a Star Trek version" and he was like "No, you're thinking of Deep Space Nine." 

I had hoped we were past this crap, but the new Sci-Fi channel show "Defiance" is the same plastic-makeup shit all over again. It's basically a cross of Firefly (cowboy / frontier setting) and Alien Nation (crappy rest).

God damn shame. Also what's with all the post-apocalyptic shows lately? Walking Dead, Revolution, Defiance, Jericho are basically the same show with a different back story. I love post-apocalyptic stories, but unfortunately, Walking Dead is the only decent one among them.

Also, who is watching and drooling over Hannibal? The most surprising thing to me is that Mads Mikkelsen doesn't completely obliterate the rest of the cast - they have a great ensemble of actors in the show. The stories are good, VERY gory and dark, and it has great dialogue. Also it's created by Bryan Fuller, whose previous shows were all fantastic, if short lived. 

great atmosphere.

Sleepy, son Hannibal is recommended? I love Mikkelsen but wasnt sure about this one. 

It is much better than I expected, but then I have only seen Silence of the Lambs some 15 years ago and I have never read the books. But as I said, everything about that show is really well done: characters, dialogue, visuals, acting, ensemble, story arc, and the weekly stories.

The only mildly distracting thing for me is Mads Mikkelsen's accent, which is heavier than I expected. I keep waiting for them to explain it somehow, but they don't. Maybe it's something that I'm supposed to know from the books. I always assumed Hannibal Lecter was American. 

So, he's from Lithuania. Alright then, but still, the Finnish language is, AFAIK, unlike any other language in Europe except for Hungarian, so it's not very believable. 

Wow that was quite an odd movie. Liked it though. 

High Fidelity

Jack Black is an obnoxious cunt. Weird movie with character development that makes no sense (I can see how it is explained in a book), weird random jumping from thought to thought, I still wanted to find out how it ended and the ending was both nice and stupidly random. Can't recommend, no idea why it is so praised. 

Yes he is. 

That cunt0r! 

you seen Kill List?
Watched that and then Rubber.
Really happy with both films, actually, but kind of wish I'd watched them in the opposite order! 

have had Kill List for 6 mths or so, havent got to it yet. 

to go in without any context or hype, if possible
