Good say Machu.

They tried so hard, you could tell.

Miserable fail.

Can't believe I never saw the second Star Trek movie. By that I mean the second one since the reboot. The most recent one. Star Trek: Into Darkness (???)

This is the problem with not having video stores. Stuff slides by that never would have slid by if I had that New Releases section to stand in front of on a regular basis.

Speaking of which, I saw a big huge video store close to where I drop my brother off in Hamilton. It was open at like 9 o'clock Christmas night.

I wouldn't know where to find a video store in these parts. It's been a few years anyway.

Anyway, gonna check out that Star Trek. :muddy:

Video stores were something to do at some points in life.

I miss those fossils.

Mohammed dont give a fuck

 

[Mudcat]

Mohammed is so completely good-natured ---> he wants everyone to be happy.

Well he isn't crazy about useless lummox-guy at work - I'm pretty sure Mohammed and I will be exchanging a high 5 if he ever gets let go - but everyone else.

 

[Cougar Bait]

The new Star Treks were both good IMO

Not a huge fan of action movies but they were both entertaining

Possibly JJ Abrams' least terrible offerings.

[Tron]

Possibly JJ Abrams' least terrible offerings.

He will knock it out of the park with the new Star Wars.


Grand slam.

Whoever provides a good Birdman torrent gets a special, special prize.

I'm talking life changing shit.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah I have looked for that but seems like all I get is links to something by Little Wayne.

Lil Wayne???

Whatever.

 

[bacon]

Birdman was a big rapper or something. It's fucking our shit up, is what it's doing.

 

[Blitty]

Lil' Wayne Gretzky?

Micheal Keaton's a rapper now?

I found the HBO Mini-series Olive Kitteridge (2014) pretty good. I actually watched the whole damn thing in one 4 hour sitting. Not saying anyone else will find it that irresistible and electrifying, but I guess it caught me in the right mood. It's a very literary sort of feel, adapted from a novel I would strongly suspect.

. . . yes in fact it is based on a Pulitzer Prize winning collection of short stories by someone named Elizabeth Strout.

I noticed it had a few Golden Globe nominations. Solid 7 out of 10 for me.

 

[reno cool]

is it about old people and dogs?

 

[Mr KLC]

New Year's morning. Everybody still asleep. So what am I watching? "The Love Boat" on TVGN. That's the danger of combing boredom and oldness together.

 

[Mudcat]

is it about old people and dogs?

It's about familial dysfunction and going through life with a bad attitude and whatnot.

I just watched a YouTube thing about actors from the 80's and how you won't recognize them today. Here's what I learned:

Sometimes people look different when they're 62 than they did when they were 29.
