My thoughts on The Wire (no one will agree) it's really good but it's a rough one to binge-watch because it's a show that moves slowly and strangely. Also, while there are interesting characters, I feel like you don't actually root for them.

We liked McNaulty, sure, but when he fucked up it was like okay about time. :omar: was a dope character but did you want him to win? I didn't. They did all that fucked up shit to Bubbles, I didn't really care. Never took Marlo seriously as a legit street thug gangsta as much as they tried. Not saying the guy was a shitty actor, I just didn't feel it. I think the only actual character I rooted for was Prez. :lol:

^ Lock for the Dirt Dirt poll.

Game of Thrones is the only real answer I have at the time.

How did Gattaca find its way into this thread?

My opinion on The Wire is ban-worthy? Nice.

Gattaca is an underrated flick, too. (now you're really gonna hate me)

shoutout to battlecatmeowstab: my soul is also able to report it has not been permanently psychologically scarred by a viewing of 2 GIRLS, 1 CUP :err:

also have not seen Lost, 24, House of Cards, Veep, Mad Men, and most of the new era of great TV
seen a few Sons of Anarchy, it's great but not as great as The Wire. Just don't have the time for a lot of these shows

I saw one episode of Game of Thrones and there was a murder at a wedding, then a rape, and i was like :shit:

never seen
Titanic (when it came out, I promised myself I'd never watch it EVAR. By now I've seen clips and pieces of it. Will probably watch it soon)
Schindler's List
Brazil
Spirited Away (have to peep it)
Casablanca
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Passion of the Christ
Dr. Strangelove
and a couple random classics I gotta peep if I'm going to be an actor.

I also never saw that Spielberg movie that came out, Super 8. Him and George Lucas kinda jumped the Jaws
never saw a bunch of Tom Hanks movies, like Castaway, The Terminal or even Captain Phillips, but I wanna see Philadelphia someday

always too many visual dreams to watch

No, it was an opinion that will land in the year-end poll for worst Curb poster (you won't win or anything, because see above). I don't want you banned, Smithee. I like you, nh. That opinion you have is a quite a faggot tho.

No, but it was such an odd choice. I don't think anyone's gonna say, "What the fuck? You've never seen Gattaca?!?"

I've never seen the Godfather 2 either. Hell, I don't know if I've even finished the first one. I started breaking bad but after a few eps it just hadn't clicked. Might give it another shot though.

I gotchyou Smithee. Will :ropeswing: and Armond White the thread :

1) Watched a few Sopranos episodes and they were corny and boring as fuck. That shit was the NBC version of Parenthood with mafia cliches. Dumb fuck family dramas and therapist scenes I just don't fuck with. It wasn't quite as boring as fuck as Six Feet Under, but still boring as fuck.

2) Loved the Puzo book but Godfather 1 & 2 are boring as fuck.

3) Casino is boring as fuck.

4) Heat is boring as fuck.

5) I watched two seasons of The Shield and while decent that shit is ridiculously overrated and ultimately so fucking one-dimensional. As far as L.A. cop shows go Southland >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> The Shield.

Gremlins 2 was better than all of these motherfuckers.

As for shit I just haven't seen: Titanic, 24, Friends, Big Bang Theory, other shit.

The funniest part is thinking that having missed Maid in Manhattan is a hole in your pop culture repertoire is fucking crazier than any of this. It's like slowly breaking it to your loved ones that you've never seen The Man With One Red Shoe.

If nothing else, most of those opinions explain why PopeyeJones doesn't mind being seen ridin' around shinin' on a hybrid bicycle that looks like a women's bike.

Heat is shit and Gremlins 2 is peerless, though. Joe Dante >>>>>>>
