21 Jump Street was... pretty fun, actually.
You're just seeing that?
21 Jump Street is really a pleasant surprise.
Wasn't really planning on seeing it at all. I mean, highschool comedy with Jonah Hill and that stripped dude who was only in shitty Nicholas Sparks movies wasn't a particularly attractive pitch. Pleasant surprise indeed.
Upon seeing it a second and third time, there are a lot of really good jabs at movies in general that I missed.
So, Homeland's second season finished yesterday. Despite having waned in quality about halfway through this season, I feel the finale was strong, and I'm willing to be optimistic for the third one... Hope they don't extend it anymore than that, though, it really doesn't have enough juice to stretch it so long.
So I watched the Pretty Little Liars second season finale again. Finales on this show never feel like finales which I like, since it would be annoying if the seasons tried to pretend A was gone and have her (them) come back over and over.
I wish Mona was less crazy and more IQ, Spencer could use a foil.
While the show has no official main character, Spencer is very close. She is the one who gets stuck with the dead (and almost dead) person at the end of both seasons so far.
The A-Team plot is... Iunno, while it makes sense, I'd already accepted that A was a demi-god and I was good with that (suspension of belief and all) and now half the characters are out to get the four protagonists. Why? How are there this many people with a grudge against you? Why does Spencer just get back together with a guy who somehow got into contact with a lady who was threatened by A without question? When did the A-Team steal the Vivian Darkbloom coat (Or is Aria part of the A-Team too?).
Also, smart move kissing your boyfriend who could get arrested for Statutory Rape in the middle of a huge crowd of his former students (not forgetting you were one too) Aria. It's like these people are just asking for it sometimes.
And Maya's dead, this is me caring. so. much.
As for the current season, let it be the last or we'll be following them to college and I was annoyed enough by the "Spencer gets hooked on speed" plot in the books.
Did they ever figure out if he was turned or not? I could never watch past that sex scene in episode 1. How do you even turn this into a multiple season show though?
So I’m not sure if Drive Angry is a great stupid movie or just a stupid stupid movie.
It has a scene where Nic Cage is fucking a hooker when a bunch of thugs walk in and he gets into a gun fight with them all the while still fucking the hooker.
To call this movie over-the-top would be to say Michael Bay is fond of explosions.
No, but we do. Hence why the show continues.
Wasn't sure where to post this, but here sounded as appropriate as anywhere... maybe. (found this on Roger Ebert's blog, but I don't know how many people here would have seen it thee)
Well, you're doing yourself a disservice, because the first season is really good. If you're set in not watching it, though, spoilers ahead:
Surprisingly early into the second season.
It can be done (it is being done, with moderate success), though it would've worked perfectly as a one season show.
I've never seen Fringe, but I get a kick out of this.
I'd like to get into it (I think all of it is still available on demand) but I'm not optimistic about going into a multiple season show and getting invested only for the first.
Well, for what it's worth, when I say the second half of the second season is not as good... it's still better than most other stuff out there.
Two of them being Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace?
I enjoyed it too, liked the whole "what's Bond's place in a world like ours" angle. Many people say it's too much like Nolan's Batman, and while I agree that Bond Manor was a bit too much, some of the complaints are kind of silly: It's not that Silva is too much like the Joker, it's that the Joker borrows a lot from classic Bond villains.
Casino Royale, Die Another Day, The World Is Not Enough. I haven't even seem any of the ones that are actually supposed to be classics.
Watching Supernatural. Paris Hilton just showed up playing an insane pagan god. And somehow it works. Wat.
So, Moonrise Kingdom (yes, I know, slowpoke.bmp) is a beautiful movie. Now, deciding which version of Legend I should watch (or if I should just watch both).
Basically, I loved it.
I don't know how they managed to make a nearly-three-hour movie based on half of a 300-page book into a really good movie, but they did.
Django is starting in a few minutes. Thoughts in a few hours.
“You gonna take care of me, Sgt. Carver? You’ve got my back, huh?”
It's OK, I didn't need my heart anyway.
When I first read the title, I thought it had something to do with the band.
Episode 21 of Revenge: Okay, can't be much worse than last week and it seems to be drawing to a close. I honestly have no idea how they could expand this show beyond one sea-
>Introduce secret group that is probably going to give us the stupidest plots in ever, basically telling the viewers "Second season confirmed!"
Well, there we go...
Continuing on, everybody continues to be as dumb as possible. Emily/Amanda focuses on killing the white haired man who killed her father without bothering to do all the stuff she's done to infiltrate the Graysons lives (Which has been oh, iunno, an entire season's worth of things) and Nolan attempts to bail her out by being an idiot, so of course he's ambushed later and almost killed.
Charlotte, who is overcoming her pill addiction... just... randomly decides to start doing cocaine? Where did she even meet a dealer? I get that she's lonely and sad (thank you nameless idiotic girl in Declan's house and idiotic Declan) but... on what level does this even make sense?
The other Graysons... aside from Daniel's sudden and stupid heel face turn (which really should've been the first sign for me that this show was continuing on) his parents decide to fight in front of Charlotte, because it's totally a good idea to mess her up even more. Mr. Grayson is also suddenly dating that one girl Victoria tried to kill earlier because... I'm not sure what's even going on here anymore.
Emily then kisses Jack, because... well... okay, the writers believe this is a cute couple and it would be on paper but the death of the one dog nobody ever actually cared about until he died isn't a good time for Jack to suddenly develop emotions and Emily to once again try and blow her cover. In fact, I'm betting the entire Daniel thing is just derailing his love interest status so that Jack can step in. Also, inb4 actual Amanda/Emily comes back next season for more drama.
So... tl;dr, I and Revenge will be parting ways at the end of the season.
So The French Connection was quite the badass movie.
Walter really does get the best drugs. Also, he must watch a lot of Monty Python, which really doesn't surprise me since that shit would no doubt blow your mind if you were to watch it while high.
Peter Jackson must've made a deal with a demon sometime in the late '90s. Probably the same one that helped George Lucas make the Star Wars movies, since his contract evidently included that same clause about having to make two trilogies in reverse chronological order at some point.
Unlike Lucas, however, Jackson is savvy enough to get his second trilogy out before his enhanced movie-making charm wore off and he's never able to have another good idea again.
Okay, Gossip Girl finale...
Aside from the fact that Dan has been part of the Upper East Siders since season 2 making Blair's first ever mention of him never fitting in the stupidest thing ever, the true stupidest thing ever was the revalation that Dan is Gossip Girl, brought to us by Serena after a break ten minutes into the episode with no fanfare.
Apparently, Jenny was also in on it, since we haven't seen her in two season's we'd totally believe she was that stupid, right writers? I mean, Jenny was a complete idiot, a serious idiot, but not dumb enough to do this. Infact, she's too dumb to even encourage such an idea.
Also, this season had ten episodes that were all obviously unplanned. I've never seen a less loved TV show, or did the writers love it and just really suck at everything? We're introduced to Dan being Gossip Girl in the series finale! The only clue being something back from season 2 that honestly wasn't a clue till the show decided it would be (In fact, using Serena's logic, everybody would've been Gossip Girl).
I mean, even the we're back in season 1 footage was filmed in the present! This... it's SO DUMB.
Lets not forget Serena herself, who entered the show as somebody who'd left the Upper East Side because it was full of classist idiots, yet returned and in the end she just says "The upper east side is classist idiotic place, and it's even turned this apparent um... 'amazing writer' guy who I've liked for the entire series into a classist idiot! So... I'll stay because... shut up! Look at my pretty wedding dress!"
Speaking of which, every relationship is reset to it's first episode status. Blair and Chuck get together (Don't even get me started on the "Hey, I killed my dad by not helping him and I somehow got of the plane that was supposed to kill me and I have no angst and the police didn't even investigate and it's totes okay and now I'm married to Blair and we have a five year old and none of this will ever be explained since the show is over now" nonsense), Serena and Dan (She's literally dating somebody who was cyberstalking everybody and turning them all into terrible gossip-mongers), William and Lily (William, who lies about sleeping with the girl Lily hated and reveals he was using her to get back with Lily eventually and Lily who instantly rebounds from her dead husband!)... the only new (and kind of acceptable) couple is Jack and Georgina, who are the evil psycho guys (and also surprisingly the only characters I liked in this episode).
And then they imply that the upper east side eventually does this to everyone on it. Lesson Learned: Only rich annoying people and their crazy friends live there, it's a horror that should never be revealed to normal people.
There are seventy other things I could go on about, but all I want to say is goodbye and good riddance you stupid vapid pointless directionless absolutely terrible annoying show.
"Wait, Gossip Girl is real" WHY ARE YOU EVEN IN THIS GIRL FROM HART OF DIXIE?
tl;dr Shows on the CW are worth nothing. NOTHING. (Except Supernatural, but that isn't really CW anyway).
Finally, Taylor Momsen actually shows up, I wonder how much they payed her >_>
Oh, and Declan Eric is back from college. Hey Revenge, did you know the guy who plays a high schooler on your show is a junior in college here?
I have to admit that, after hearing my girl friends constantly rambling about Gossip Girls, I was sort of intrigued by it.
I also kinda enjoyed Desperate Housewifes.
I love Supernatural.
One of my friends was hassling me to watch Supernatural, since she started watching it on Netflix and it's like her new favorite show.
That clip very nearly has me convinced.
