Movies and TV

love it

Interstellar was great. I'm giving it a solid "great".

Many flaws, but I think they're all forgivable, given the kind of movie it was. I was a bit distracted by the fact that the whole premise of the movie is probably its biggest plot hole, but whatever. I forgive you, Interstellar. You were pretty awesome.

That'll satisfy my epic-sci-fi needs for awhile, easily filling the gaping hole left by Gravity.

Third guy takes a healthy lead after day 1 of the Jeopardy TOC final. It was fairly close going into final but he was the only one that knew the answer to the final - I sure as hell didn't - and that was LARGE.

Not Julia Collins or Arthur Chu. Third fucking guy.

Wasn't counting on that.

Taking my boys to see Big Hero 6 tomorrow. Did well on Rotten Tomatoes.

Big comfy seats.

Know what I think I'm going to do dammit?

Dammit I think I'm going to download all 7 seasons of Homicide: Life on the Streets and make that my next big rewatch.

I saw the file there. It is basically like 70% of my monthly GB's. Just BOOM - 70%. Maybe I'll check where I stand first just in case. But dammit I think if I don't download anything else this month - and why would I need to with all those episodes to watch? - I can still have normal day-to-day usage and come in on target.

Dammit I might just have to do that.

Been meaning to watch Homicide for the longest time. I have the entire series e-stashed e-somewhere.

 

[bacon]

Looking quite forward to this

 

[Mudcat]

I considered Homicide the best show of all time until HBO and Showtime came along. That changed the playing field.

Question is how does it stand up now. I am optimistic.

122 episodes.

Currently watching the movie Man on the Moon. At about the halfway point I am very hard-pressed to understand why Andy Kaufman was a thing.

 

[reno cool]

I read a book about him. never saw this movie. Guy was a revolutionary comedic figure
I'm pretty impressed by him.
the Elvis bit, the wrestling stunts. He's whole concept of fooling the viewer and perhaps the participants, pretty original.
Even though he supposedly hated sitcoms his character on Taxi was remember Vic Ferrari?
all his work seemed pretty sharp. :

I rate Man on the Moon 4 out of 10. Not a terribly put-together movie but it's hard to imagine a less compelling subject.

And what's the deal with Milos Forman having to use bad actresses in his movies? Elizabeth Berridge was legendarily bad in Amadeus. Courtney Love shows up in not 1 but 2 Forman movies.

Seems like he's doing it on purpose.

Cami liked Into the Storm more than Bacon

worth a watch if anything for the effects, imo. 6.4 baconchunks

Let's Be Cops (2014)

Utterly unoriginal, formulaic Hollywood crapola, somewhat redeemed by a handful of funny lines.

One HUGH scrotum makes an extended appearance.

Wait for it to show up on TV and then put it in the background while you power-post at Gamelive.com.

4.2 Matty Rains

 

[bacon]

N/A is Bacon's rating of Let's be Cops because he has fallen asleep to it at least twice within the first 20 minutes of attempted viewing

 

[Matty]

I stopped it several times to take a break from the mediocrity. Took the better part of the evening to get through it.

Still, some fonny bits.

That's some next-level shit, bacon.

 

[bacon]

alright good use of a quality phrase, right thurr
