I created this thread just to say, Youth in Revolt was awesome and totally worth the $6.50 I payed to see it.

[St0ph]

I watched Black Dynamite which was awesome in a stupid way. It was the good kind of self-aware stupid.

I've also got a bunch of Coen Brothers movies I haven't seen queued up and have been making my way through those. Blood Simple, Miller's Crossing, Barton Fink and Fargo for starters.

Does this topic cover TV also? I recently plowed through Sons of Anarchy and I'm excited that Big Love season 4 started this week.

Finally saw season three of The IT Crowd. Terrific. If you've never seen it, all the seasons are on Netflix instant watch.

I tried getting into Dexter as everyone told me it's great. I watched the first season, I don't really care for it that much. But I'll check out The IT Crowd at mik's recommendation.

Love that show. That and Hamtaro are all I've watched recently.

[StinkingBishop]

The only thing I have watched recently is Craig Ferguson which I tape nightly on my DVR. I really enjoy his show.

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?




I recently saw the movie Daybreakers. Much more enjoyable then I expected but isn't much more then an above average vampire movie with political undertones.

I just watched "The Road", it annoyed me

Spoiler

guy says he was preparing his son for when he was gone, but all he did was train him to be a whiney little pussy who gave his food away and trust the first person he met by asking them a few obscure questions "are you a good guy? do you carry the fire?" "yeah sure kid, just get in the pot!", I may be ignoring some of the moral messages there but it was still annoying

The last movie I watched was Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters. It had some fun scenes, but sometimes it felt like the monsters were under-utilized. The special effects were quite good for the genre, though. It was just hyped up to me a little more than it had the power to live up to.

Also some of the advertised monsters were only in like one shot in the entire movie. I question that.

Before that I watched one of my favorite movies for the hundredth time, The Lion in Winter. Peter O' Toole is such a badass. Just is.

Oh and back in December I watched the entirety of The Human Condition, which I think is a really really amazing movie. Trying to describe the movie is hard, because I feel like anything but the bare minimum spoils where the story ends up going. Basically it's about a Japanese humanist/pacifist in World War II Manchuria. It really stuck in my mind.

Finished watching the final season of The Shield a few days ago. As much as I love the show, it took me a few years to watch all the seasons. Maybe it was so intense I had to take long breaks between seasons. I will say it took me just until now to get over the final episode. I'm not sure if a show has ever made me feel like that before.

I hate that nobody seems to watch this show.

In the past month, or so, I watched all 5 seasons of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia. "Kitten Mittens" is one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. I watched that clip over and over again until I couldn't see.

Youth in Revolt was a funny yet tragic movie. Both of the main characters are so messed up it was hard to leave that theatre without thinking about how much it would suck to be them. These are not characters that will end up in any situation better then trailer parks.

It reminded me of Observe & Report and Funny People. Funny movies with realistic and fucked up characters.

Portia Doubleday is really cute, and all of Francois Dillinger's lines were great.

I've spent the last few months watching every season of How I Met Your Mother that is available on DVD. I have a strict rule that I avoid CBS like the plague(except for football of course) but that show has given me hope for the sitcom. It's my favorite show now. I also watched all of the Lost episodes and I don't know why I didn't like that show the first time I tried to watch it but I'm very much into it now. Finally I'm getting my wife into Mad Men so I'm rewatching all of those. I didn't think she would like it but I have been pleasantly proven wrong.

That's some heavy hitters right? I need to get on that Dexter train though. Oh yeah, I've been watching Man Vs. Food like crazy lately.

[ex0du5]

The Shield Complete Series. Just finished Season 4.

Yes she is.


I always find it funny when actors in their 20's play teens.

I really hope Michael Cera stops getting typecasted like that. Same goes for Ellen Page.

Man, Ellen Page is really cute too. Did anyone see Whip It just because she was in it? I did. It was worth it.

Oh yeah, I did see Whip it actually, just because I will basically watch anything with certain people in it and Ellen page is one of those people. Thought the film seemed like it was trying too hard to be quirky of hipster-y though......if you get what I mean......still good though.

Have you learned nothing from Mad Men? you make her watch it, my, what would the neighbours think


Just looked up Man vs Food, I love things like that, I used to love watching "Bizarre foods with Andrew zimmern", still haven't seen season 4 of it actually. Will definately have to check out Man vs Food though, wtf is it with you Americans and Big foods though, fatties!

[tonks00]

I basically have a set of things I watch, which consist of HIMYM, Big Bang Theory, Law and order, and occasionally the simpsons. If I get really bored I watch episodes of STNG ot STV (sometimes DS9).

[StinkingBishop]

I watched the first episode of the new Kids in the Hall special tonight. I was really good if your into them and I can not wait for more. If your like my wife then it was the most horrible waste of TV you have ever scene.

Explain please! New Kids in the Hall? Original cast?

[StinkingBishop]

It is the original cast. They wrote this mini series which I think it called "Death comes to town" which is based on all new characters. It started this week on the CBC, so i would assume it should be available on torrents for the non-Canadians in the group.

CBC's site is having issues at the moment, but this should be the link to it when it does work.

If you like them I would say you would enjoy this.

I've been watching a lot more late night talk shows since the whole Leno/Conan thing started. Things have really heated up this week; especially with Jimmy Kimmel.

On Tuesday he dedicated his whole hour to mocking Jay Leno and his show. Complete with bad jokes, bad accident, and bad headlines. He then appeared as the guest during The Jay Leno's show last night doing the whole 10 on 10 (10 questions right before 10 PM). Almost all of his answers were really scathing and hurtful comments aimed at Jay and NBC. He even joked about how bad his show is doing.

You can see the video here if anyone is interested. It's filled with all the different hosts and their take on the NBC situation. I suggest at the very least watching Jimmy Kimmel answering Jays questions (second video).

[St0ph]

Thanks for the link I haven't been watching lately and it was cool to catch it all in one place BUT WHY DID I WATCH THAT GEORGE LOPEZ VIDEO?!

You can't unsee that shit.

[Kholdstare]

The Book of Eli was a fun watch. Post-apocalyptic movie with a hint of Steampunk.


And some crazy scenes near the end which I will not spoil.

[I AM JOHN!]

I watched Black Dynamite which was awesome in a stupid way. It was the good kind of self-aware stupid.

Man, I've wanted to see that movie for months!

I still have CB4 and Sunshine from Netflix. Maybe I should watch those.

[Enchy]

I have been watching every Triumph the Insult Comic Dog video ever.

Saw Up in the Air last night. It was excellent.

We breezed through season one of Mad Men. She is officially hooked. She also has no respect for any of the women on the show.

Man, Adam Richman(the Man vs. Food guy)makes pigging out disgusting and that's saying a lot. I like to eat more than I should just like the next guy but there are many times where I say to myself, "I want nothing to do with that."

I've been watching a lot more late night talk shows since the whole Leno/Conan thing started.

If you follow me on Twitter you know that this has been a big issue for me. Sorry if I've been going on about it too much, but I do not hate another human being more than Jay Leno. Letterman has been eviscerating him a lot too. He obviously hasn't forgotten that Leno screwed him too. There is a clip of him impersonating Leno asking his wife Mavis to bring him oil filters. I couldn't stop laughing.

Recently finished up Gavin & Stacey. It's a UK show, kinda The Office UK meets Coupling. Very funny stuff and the missus likes it too. Basic plotline - it's about two people who "met" via work, talking over the phone (not in person). So they meet in person finally after six months of chattin' and it's off to the races. She's from Wales, he's from Essex (London--close enough), which is a bit of a cultural gap... and their friends and family are just... They're making a US version at some point with different actors, but I'm not sure they'll be able to do it and keep the same tone.



Just got into Outnumbered, another UK show that's also kinda similar in style to The Office. It's Modern Family, except with just one family (like Phil & Claire) instead of three. The kid actors are hilarious.



Also watching The IT Crowd. Only through Series 1 at the moment but I'll get to the rest via Netflix.

As far as US shows... Tough Love (VH1 dating schlock, but it's entertaining), Modern Family, 30 Rock, The Office, Parks & Recreation, and LOST. Waiting patiently for more Gordon Ramsay to show up and for The Apprentice UK to start in the spring (shit, just read it won't be starting until the summer...damnit!).

Hey CJ, have you ever tried watching Better Off Ted? Looking at your list of shows I think that might be something you would like.

[Wenny]

Nice videos CJ, thanks for the recommends!

I have not seen Better Off Ted yet, but I want to. Is it on Netflix? I don't think it is... maybe I'll watch on Hulu or ABC.com sometime...

[probune]

What I've seen of Better Off Ted was really entertaining.

[JDUB X]

Probune and I have been watching shit explode real nice in episodes of Future Weapons lately.

[PlayerOneStewy]

Modern Family just keeps getting better and better.

Has anyone watched Jersey Shore? While it doesn't represent Jersey, it does represent the people that go down to Seaside very well.

I hate reality TV, but I just couldn't look away from this train wreck.
