Movies and TV

[MrX]

I still read from Orbison In Clingfilm on a regular basis. We're doing well on identical purchases, Matty.

I also recommend this book.

I have this one. Probably my favorite tool.

It's got a lightning bolt on it.

I believe nothing else needs to be said.

I am not a fan of TV show theme songs - I believe we have discussed this. Even the good ones - like The Sopranos - I get so I am skipping over pretty fast.

Like fuck that shit. Flash the show's title and get on with it. It was the one thing LOST did right. Breaking Bad was okay. 10 seconds-ish. Then they showed the titles while the show was going on. Good.

I am getting back into Deadwood ---> loving it profoundly but DAYUM that is too frikkin much theme song. It's not a terrible song but cut it back by about 10 minutes.

Orange is the New Black ---> man that is a bad theme song. I don't want to hear 1 note of that theme song.

Agreed about OITNB. The few times I forgot to FF was torture. A little bit surprised you like that show, Muddy. I wouldn't watch if my gf didn't like it.

 

[Matty]

yeah, fok that lesbian "indie" pop-rock

Never heard the theme song to OITNB so no opinion on it.

Helpful, huh?

I enjoy it quite a bit. It is an easier watch than the other shows I have been attempting lately where watching them feels almost like labor. Ray Donovan, Halt and Catch Fire, Masters of Sex.

They're all so heavily wrought. So written.

OITNB ain't no all-timer but it's a'ight.

 

[bacon]

Ray Donovan is still solid.

But it could easily be solider

Just sayin

I was happy to see the old rat off herself last night in The Leftovers, very happy. Shit is on now both in the woods and in town with the church crap. WAR.

+1

Blitty you misogynist fok.

 

[Blitty]

It's decently awful. I guess I was focusing on the theme song too much.

You guys should give Tyrant and You're The Worst a shot.

 

[bacon]

That That 70's Show chick looked much more rammable when she was that 70's Show chick.

 

[Mudcat]

I don't think The Knick has any theme song, now I think about it. I think they just flash The Knick for a couple seconds and get on with it.

It's good. A bit on the heavy side but good.

 

[bacon]

Might try Lilyhammer. We have Sylvio from the Sopranos as the lead in the Norway as a mobster who doesn't know his way arund the country. Looks tryable.

 

[Mudcat]

What is wrong with this Downton Abbey promo pic?

 

[Matty]

Lilyhammer is terrible.

 

[Blitty]

The Knick will be the best show of Late 2014. Calling it now.

 

[Matty]

Where do you find all these series? Never heard of any of them.

 

[Mudcat]

The Knick is good but just a tad overly serious. Heavy. Shows need to keep in mind the virtue of an occasional light touch. Remember to have some fun along the way.

But it's good.
