Before I forget again, the House finale? Meh. I would have preferred it if they left it before the "surprise" at the end, which I totally called btw. My wife will confirm this. Still, I'm not totally upset with the ending.

The thing I never understood about Quantum of Solace is, why is every single Bolivian in the movie part of the "silly hats only" club?

[Paul Smachetti]

I shouldn't admit it, but Glee was a pretty good hour of television last night. For the first time watching that show it actually felt like high school.

Has any of the cast changed? As a high school teacher I have a hard time buying a bunch of 20 something actors playing high school students.

This is a compilation of some of Kristen Wiig's best sketches. Hilarious.

Didn't see the ending of Modern Family coming.

I'm cracking up just looking at the screen shots of the clips on that page.

I always loved the Judy Grimes skit just kidding no I don't just kidding I've been a fan since the first one just kidding I only started watching later ones just kidding.

I'm so pissed they just came up with the Californians now that she's leaving. It's such a stupid skit but it works. The last couple of weeks in my office and at home "AAAH UHHHWHAT ARE YAOU DOING HUURE??" and "ahmaziang" (I have no idea how to type that) have been said regularly.

Adventure Time marathon. This show is really great, like Pete's been saying. Wish I'd started watching earlier.

That and Regular Show are two of my favorites.

It really is. I think the most remarkable thing about it is how it works on so many different levels. It's weird and surreal and druggy, but can also be very sweet and light and straight forward. Sometimes it's very plot-oriented, sometimes it's about silly random stuff. The relationships between characters feel genuine without being overdone. Sometimes there's "moral to the story" plotlines, but they feel natural and not forced (hello, Community!). It's just so unique, too. The world they inhabit is mysterious and illogical with bits and pieces of a backstory now and then, but it's never really a focus, either, which would spoil that mystery.

I'm hard pressed to think of other shows that are so well balanced and potentially appealing to all sorts of ages and tastes. The Simpsons in its heyday is all I come up with.

Rocko's Modern Life?

Rocko's Modern Life?

Eh. I tried revisiting that a few years ago, and, um... the magic was gone for me.

[Andy from the LE...]

Watching the Hatfields and the McCoy's movie on History channel.

It's like, Biggie vs. Tupac, 19th century Appalchia-style!

[Paul Smachetti]

MIB 3 Best of the 3 IMHO! Josh Brolin is outstanding as 1969 K. Great Mets reference in the movie for all you Mets fans.

[Eric]

Oh, hey, anyone else watching The Legend Of Korra? Just saw the debut episode tonight, thought it was excellent. Definitely excited for the season.

Just watched the first seven episodes this weekend. I'm really enjoying it. Apparently it's only going to be two seasons?

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

Workaholics Season Premiere. Show is so funny.

Unfortunately. But at least it means there's a solid plan in place for the story. Also, I had no idea JK Simmons was Tenzin until I was browsing IMDB 5 episodes in.

He will always be Schillinger to me.

He will always be "IBS guy" from "Ladykillers" to me.

[Kusand]

He'll always be "the voice of Cave Johnson" and to a lesser extent "Juno's Dad" and to a lesser lesser extent "JJJ" to me.

Yeah they said that there will be few filler episodes because of this. But still I wish it was 3 seasons.

Workaholics Season Premiere. Show is so funny.

Seriously.

[Nilan 666]

Caligula. The Cinema Snob has piqued my curiosity to degrees I sometimes wish I lacked.

[Sed]

All caught up on Regular Show and Adventure Time. Still laughing off Super Shark from this past weekend, but eagerly anticipating Jersey Shore Shark Attack!

[Eric]

Oh my god Toy Story 3.

When Andy is playing with the toys at the end with Bonnie. Freaking water works.

[Alitaki]

Rock of Ages is a fun show. My wife got pegged by a guitar pick thrown into the audience. Souvenir!

[Nilan 666]

Driller Killer with commentary by director Abel Ferrara. The dude is fucking hammered.

I've been watching this too. The show is moving a lot faster than the original did. Love the new 1920s setting.

[Kusand]

MIB3 was surprisingly fun. I'm really glad I saw it - definitely a throwback to the fun of the first.

Yeah it was a great movie. I got a little misty at the end myself.
Oh yeah..... and MIB3 was a lot of fun. Really liked Josh Brolin

Prometheus is a great looking, but a total letdown. Fassbender is great though. Thries to do too much while offering you so little back.

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

Inglorious Basterds. So good.

[Beamer]

In the theme of the last two posts, like every dude in America, Fassbender is my total mancrush.

[SorryaboutthatWh...]

The wife had me watch water for elephants last night which is what made me want to watch Basterds again. He is s freakin good in this movie. (waltz) I forgot how much of a movie this is.

Quentin really knows how to make a movie. I can't stand him in front of the camera, but he's great behind it.

Have you caught the teaser trailer for Django Unchained yet? It was supposed to be released today.

A lot of music feels way out of place.

What? It's Johnny cash and then James brown. Cash sets up the tone nicely and than brown reminds you it's a Tarantino flick. Being that the James brown song being played is "the payback" and what the plot seems to be for the movie, I'm not sure I understand your point.

I know we disagree, a lot, and this is a topic that's subjective and based on opinion, but I think you're just wrong on this one.

When I watch the trailer in the movie theatres all I can think of is "Alien" .

You don't see how James Brown in an antebellum movie might be anachronistic?

But it's in line with Tarantino's style. He's stated how blaxploitation films of the 70's are a big influence in his career and this has that feel to it.

This is true. And this all made sense in films that were either direct blaxploitation films (Jackie Brown), films from a similar time (Grindhouse/Kill Bill), or films with a similar theme (Pulp Fiction.)

It feels at odds with the terminology and accents used by the actors, though, particularly DeCaprio. If you want your characters speaking old-timey but use music distinctly reminiscent of a different old-time it falls apart.

It looks like a revenge/buddy flick with the usual Tarantino flair kinda like Kill Bill, only this time set in old west. I don't have a problem with this.

Well, super short shorts and a tank top are in line with Richard Simmons' style, but if he ever does a Deep South western full of accents and old style dialogue I'd hope he'd at least tone down the glitter.

That movie was already made - see the "Western-Style Bar-Bee-Cue" scene in Black Shampoo.

When I was in high school, I think that I blew through the entire Blaxploitation section of my local Blockbuster in the course of a few weekends. Black Shampoo was definitely a highlight.

SEE WHAT I DID THERE?!

Also, if you can ever find The Black Six, that one's probably the best outside of the Rudy Ray Moore catalogue.
