Movies and TV

I skipped those I didn't remember watching in full, like JFK.

Truth be told I've probably watched close to 70.

34, many I've seen bits and pieces. Its like a walk down memory lane. Uma on the cover of Pulp Fiction almost make me a cry. Cant help but feel too much of my life is based on stupid pop culture reference bullshit.

In other news, I'm pretty excited about Inside Llewyn Davis.

New Coen Brothers and Scorsese by the end of the year. That's a good thing.

I have seen 56 of those movies. 2 or 3 of them were only in the last year or so.

Not signing with Verizon but their summary of Ed Norton's career in this commercial is absolutely brilliant.

Season 2 of House of Cards is scheduled for release Feb. 14, 2014. Sounds like Netflix is doing their usual thing, releasing the whole season at once.

The teaser does not give much away.

Fokkin hell. I was all settled in to watch 12 Years a Slave which I had downloaded - and the beginning was missing. Important shit had obviously already happened. I ain't gonna watch like that.

I looked for another copy but a bunch of them had comments like, "The start is missing from this one too."

And then a few of them had no comments at all but by then my confidence was completely shaken.

Can't even trust illegally pirated video. What kind of a world?

So I guess The Hobbit trilogy is not doing as well as they hoped. It does not seem to be even a shadow of Lord of the Rings.

Not that I gave much of a shit about Lord of the Rings, but I was very aware of it. There was the year the third one won all the Oscars (except for acting), but more than that there was just a general constant awareness throughout the trilogy. There was discussion of box office and goofy fanboiz making fanboi noises.

I haven't researched any figures or whatever, but I am definitely not getting the same vibe with The Hobbit, nowhere near.

If there is shit-giving going on, they are keeping very low key about it.

I don't think I'll ever watch the Hobbit movies. I forced myself through LOTR and only really enjoyed the last one.

 

[Mudcat]

Just took a quick look. The first Hobbit grossed a bit worse than the LOTR flicks but not crazy worse. Like 300 mil vs 350 mil.

Due to the bigger budget, it was quite a bit less profitable - but still profitable.

It (The Hobbit) has an 8.0 rating at imdb. That's high. Who knew?

The second installment hasn't been released yet and is rated 9.1 right now.
