Movies (& TV) - discussion, and what did you watch today?

[joel]

listened to the whole Star Trek commentary. It's not that good. They have too many people in the commentary, and they end up talking over each other sometimes. There's some good information here and there, but they usually get it out way after it's been shown in the movie.

[EK20]

Watched The Crazies and now some Top Gear.

[joel]

started watching The Onion Movie... which was pretty good (if you like The Onion) up until I fell asleep. I haven't had a chance to finish it since.

My roomate brought this home last week, and i watched half of it baked out of my gourd and it was STILL terrible. Whoevers genious idea it was to let Stalone direct a movie should be banished from hollywood.
Not to mention it gives the band The Expendables a bad name.x10^9

[joel]

haha.. I actually quite enjoyed The Expendables. But I completely went into watching it expecting it to be a poor movie.. and was only looking for some decent action and a little fun with having all of those guys on the screen at once. I got a little more than I expected, so I was happy.

[EK20]

Exit To Eden. Pretty good.

[joel]

watched the Social Network today. It's not bad as a movie. It took me a moment to realize they were jumping back and forth in the story line, and I found myself distracted sometimes by how silly some of the lines and situations were, but I still got into it enough to not be annoyed by it

[joel]

finished season 3 of BSG.. one more to go

I'd almost forgotten the show is only 4 seasons. It lasted 7 freakin' years!

[EK20]

Bordello Of Blood. Not bad, though I think I liked Demon Night better.

[joel]

AMC debuts "The Walking Dead" tonight.. it's been getting a lot of attention running up to the airing, so we'll see how it goes

[EK20]

Night Of The Demons (1988)

[EK20]

Hocus Pocus.

[joel]

what.. not watching The Walking Dead? It's pretty good...

[EK20]

It'll be on Comcast On Demand I can watch it tomorrow with less to no commercials.

Started Halloween on Blu Ray.

never heard of a DVR?

[EK20]

Is that anything like a DVD?

Nah, never really worried about a DVR. I'll go another route (that shall remain nameless) if I can't find something on On Demand.

[joel]

it was good.. I enjoyed it

[joel]

just watched Babylon AD "Uncut". Supposedly the original cut of this movie was over 3 hours.. and this "uncut" version is 1:40, so obviously it's missing a lot, including an ending that makes sense. But I enjoyed watching the world presented in the movie. It's just too bad they didn't have a chance to get into things a little more. This movie would have been much better served if it was a little over 2 hours or so.

[unimogken]

I'm waaay behind on movies.
I watched The "Taking of Pelham 123" today and it was pretty entertaining.
With the usual predictable scenes like in all movies.

Wreck Chasers? wtf?

I'm starting the 4th (last) season of BSG now... been a great show so far. I think this is where I left off when I was following the show 'live'

[rover31]

I'm starting to get excited for top gear USA after seeing some commercials on T.V.

yeah
just remember that even the current Top Gear UK series completely sucked in its first season. If they can do better in the first US season than they did with AU, then I'll be happy.
