Constant leg and knee shots aside, Jim Caviezel and Michael Emerson are entertaining together enough for me to watch the show. I missed the first few episodes so I don't know about the story at large, but I've enjoyed the show pretty well so far.

TACTICAL SANDALS posted:Have you ever seen To Live and Die in LA? Directed by William Friedken, and stars William Petersen from Manhunter. He's a badass Secret Service agent who DOESN'T PLAY BY THE RULES in hunt of murderous counterfeiter Willem Defoe. Also, the entire score was provided courtesy of Wang loving Chung. I love this movie so much. Wrong side of the highway car chase is the best chase and that goddamned soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM_FGAL0-Mg

Cyrano4747 posted:You're watching a TV show about prohibition era gangsters. I honestly enjoy when the cast of a show about criminals are horrible people. It's refreshing to see people being horrible criminal bastards because they want money, power, and etc, not because they've got some justification, you've just got pretty horrible people doing pretty horrible things to each other.

priznat posted:Me neither, but at least with the revelation at the end it served a purpose. I was pretty irritated that it all more or less happened off screen the whole him dying part, not getting shot, he had to get shot off camera. It works, but I suppose that kinda thing just bothers me some. The ending of it all was pretty goddamned  as gently caress though.

Android Bicyclist posted:The new Ricky Gervais Show episode was awesome. It had a pretty slow buildup involving Karl's movie idea but in the end I was in stitches. I'm running out of room on my DVR now. It's also nice to have less and less material from the Guide To's, admittedly I didn't watch all of season one and two but it seemed like a lot was reused. And I could listen to Ricky laugh all the time.

Ziggy was too busy being on Person of Interest. also when the gently caress does frank sobotka get on the Office? does the new season manage to have funny bits in the beginning? The one off intro bits with Jim/Dwight were some of the best.

infrared35 posted:The Living Daylights, for all the reasons iyaayas mentioned. Although I'd like to add that they weren't merely parachuting onto Gibraltar. They were parachuting onto Gibraltar for a Simunition slap-fight with the SAS. My favorite bond movie is Diamonds Are Forever but this might be because i had it on VHS and have watched it a million loving times. It and Goldeneye. Someone already went over the strongpoints of it except for it being in Vegas, and the best scene in a car chase ever. You know which one im talking about.

Bill and Eric buddy cop antics are pretty good. I'm also digging the gently caress out of Russel Edgington being back. Far more entertaining than the witch poo poo.

then it's probably gonna stay unresolved for a while. it's reminding me of that movie where a bunch of soldier dudes in iraq/afghanistan shoot up some old ruins and release a djinn and it murders them all. edit; hahaha, trueblood is already on the wikipedia page for Ifrit

NerdyMcNerdNerd posted:This is one of the reasons I stopped taking the show seriously long ago. Michael is portrayed as a huge badass, and his name is very well known in the intelligence community. He's supposed to be a high level operative. And he never kills anyone? Ever? Not even blatant sociopaths that cause him continual problems and are a danger to everything around them? Because KILLING PEOPLE IS BAD. Duh. The show was pretty good from the get go, if somewhat formulaic but the plot has gone down hill since the second season. I mean, Jere Burns has been a constant bad guy for the past two seasons and he really hasn't helped any. There's a couple of good episodes in most seasons but on the whole the show has been kinda lame.

Internet Wizard posted:There's an episode where he's trapped in a mangrove swamp and he hunts and kills an entire arms dealer's gang, so he does kill people every so often. No he doesn't. He just wounds and injures them. They all climb into a truck later. Michael has killed a handful of people in the show, and outside of the pilot it's been generally very dramatic. He never outright kills a dude on screen until like season three, and that's a dude who sent some bad dudes after Fiona. He does, however, get people set up to be killed by dudes constantly. But they're all jerks so Michael is really just saving himself the cost of a bullet. My phone has a variety of tones for omar whistle to archer clips to Deus Ex: The Recut. Oh and dinosaur sounds. Jurassic Park. It's not as obnoxious as you might think since I leave my phone on silent all the time. Fake Edit: he does kill some dudes during that CIA mission at the start of season five, now that I think about it. But they're goons whose entire onscreen time is spent getting shot.

22 Eargesplitten posted:I'm not a film geek. But as I understand it, it's got to do with the compression required to get the movie onto a DVD. Films on the big screen have a huge resolution, otherwise they'd look like utter poo poo for the people in the first few rows. VHSes and DVDs couldn't handle that much information, only with blu-rays are we getting the data capacity and transfer speed required for that kind of quality. Pretty much this. Actual film has a huge amount of detail to it, 'resolution' doesn't quite fit. When they tried to make that happen for DVD's and VHS and stuff, it lost quality due to compression and poo poo. Now that there's so much space on a Blu-ray disc and it has such high throughput, they can have stupid high resolutions that kind of actually compare to the original film. Now they just digitize the original film again and are able to preserve so much more of the actual quality. They can do crazy things to old film now, even upgrading what it would normally look like from a projector. NatGeo had some marathon about "Secret" places or something like that and I watched a bit where they up-converted/analyzed films of the Kennedy assassination, trying to look for Oswald in windows and stuff. The differences were pretty goddamned awesome.

Season four was really... uninteresting? Sort of. At first anyway. It took me a bit to get into the Wire, I burned through season 2 and 3 and season four I kinda slowed down some. But when it clicked, it clicked really well and i really wholly appreciated it on my second watch through. FYI the like, fifth episode of S2 is called "All Prologue" for a reason. Season 2 also had Omar in court which was goddamned amazing. Season five is something else. The newspaper thing feels like the least balanced part of the whole series and was very eh. McNulty being goddamned McNulty was rad as gently caress though.
