Movies and TV

[betplom]

I'm going to the show today. It's time for me to watch Django Unchained.

Hopfeully the theatre won't be crowded.

 

[Mudcat]

I imagine the crowds will have died down quite a bit, especially if you are going during the day on a Wednesday.

I'll be catching that one soon. I've got Silver Linings Playbook ready to go for today.

 

[betplom]

My plan is to go to the 3pm showing today. I agree that the crowds will have dwindled to nothing.

I can't enjoy a movie when the theatre is packed as there is always some distraction like people coughing or talking during the film.

Empty theatres are a big turn on for me.

[betplom]

yes

 

[Mudcat]

Gotta say though, I often hear people complain about noise and distractions at crowded movie showings. I have virtually never experienced that. No one ever talks. Can't remember a cell phone ever going off.

Popcorn I could do without. I have always found that to be a very stupid connection - movies and crunchy popcorn in crinkly bags. But unless someone is being a real pig about it, I can generally tune that out.

muddy/matty/reyrey, should I give Game Of Thrones a try on Netflix? We're winding down on The Wire soon.

I rifled through a massive tub of popcorn while thoroughly enjoying Django.

I find it hard to get into Game of Thrones. The GF loves it and she's read all the books.

The midget is really good and the blonde chick is naked all the time. Lots of softcore porn.

For people like me who are easily confused/distracted, it's hard to follow. The Wire made it really simple to follow tons of characters. Watching Game of Thrones feels like your first attempt at playing Legend of Zelda. Where the fuck am I? Why am I dressed like that? A wooden sword? Are you fucking kidding me?

 

[Blitty]

Daft, I highly recommend Boardwalk Empire.

 

[Blitty]

Shameless is decent.

 

[Tron]

I think I'll go with Boardwalk Empire. Blitty and I have the same taste in shows. Thanks, boys.

I've been meaning to start BE for months. Just haven't gotten around to it. Have heard nothing but good things about that show.

As distracted as I normally am while watching tv, I love Game of Thrones. I think that, if it doesn't catch your attention within the first few episodes, there's no point trying to watch (or like) it.

The Ice Harvest is an all time favorite of mine. Everyone drunk in a miserable ice covered town being asses and trying to rip each other off. Cusack does well a high percentage of the time for me and Billy Bob, well I just like the way he talks.

A large part of me wanted Cusack to get killed at the end just for the sense of completion. 9.5 Camilondonbroilsandwiches

We agree to disagree Reno.

I only watched for a little while, couldnt get into it. I was hoping for more modern times. I couldnt get into Deadwood either.
