^^^^ All three of those are fucking great.

Not mentioned yet and in a similar vein is Who the *$&% Is Jackson Pollock?

On the art theme, best doc I've seen recently is Tim's Vermeer.

I think varys plotted that whole shit. His mo is unclear atm but i feel like him and lil finger are gonna end up being the main two chess players moving all the pieces Not at all. He was heading back until he heard the horns, signaling something had happened, which explained why Tyrion took so long...

PopeyeJones

Yeah, have one but don't use it. VLC would change that though.

Yep.

This was oddly worth the read:

Not gonna compare this show to BB, but is it better than True Detective? PEACE Easily. I think it's just simply because it's incredibly hard to knock it out of the park for 10 hours when your story is really only based on two characters, whereas with Fargo they're populating an entire world with ch...

PopeyeJones

Nah, she's not dead. First cheap move this show has made, which in itself is impressive.

Heretical question: at what point do we need to have the conversation about if the show is better than the flick?

PopeyeJones

^^ Yeah it does. Really unfortunate, and waste of a good cast if it ends up being as awful as that trailer.

PopeyeJones

^^^^ Good call.

The Shield is boring as fuck. I do remember the prostitute being sorta hot in that Hepatitis B kinda way.

PopeyeJones

^ Lock for the Dirt Dirt poll. My opinion on The Wire is ban-worthy? Nice. 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 d...

How are sales, Tui? About what you were expecting? Better? Worse? way better than we ever expected. didn't really get to enjoy how fast pre-sales moved because i just got worried about shipping and taxes. didn't pay for any PR, or even try to pander to blogs or sites for posts. released it complete...

I was actually in the small minority that enjoyed GLM more than SAN and while this one may not be as "fun", I think it may be your best one yet. Excellent work. It's already starting to grow on me. :pause: Don't even think that was a minority opinion. It was just emp sucking up a shitload of air. S...

Emily Nussbaum is the only TV critic that I consistently expect to be good. Sepinwall is fucking great as a recap guy, but not really as a critic. As a film critic Wesley Morris is good more often than not.

PopeyeJones

alpha wrote:But isn't sepinwall a troll tho? Either way psyched

Nah, Sep's not even remotely a troll. And even if he were, Emily Nussbaum (without question the best tv critic in the game right now, IMO) says the same thing.

For apps, I have a shitload I use occasionally and three I use all the fucking time: Doggcatcher Feedly Pocket (white on black ftw, just pull shit off longform.org, long reads.com, and thebrowser.com) For browsing I also prefer dolphin because of the swipe left for bookmarks and swipe right for nigh...

Unfortunately I don't really enjoy the product all that much, but hey, maybe some do.

If anybody liked it he wouldn't have spent the last 15 years spamming messageboards. Really.

^^^^

PopeyeJones

^^^ sure is. Best actor on the show. Dude was even great in the overall shitty and short lived Law & Order: LA. The craziest part to me is how quickly they burn through plot on this show. It makes sense for a network show that's under threat of cancelation, but not for a Netflix original. I guess Ho...

PopeyeJones

Six episodes in on S02. This is a really good shitty show. Like Dexter in its heyday.

This. He has a show on Fox next season (he's the main character and IIRC works for a gameshow host, played by Martin Short and his roommates are nasim pedrad and some other folks) that I'm really looking forward to.

PopeyeJones

Heard about dumb starbucks, but didn't even cross my mind it would be him.

Show is fucking hilarious. Too good.

PopeyeJones

Haven't seen Pirate Radio, but DEVIL is the only one of these other movies that I thought was even above average. Not saying he was personally bad in 'em, but his track record of movies as a leading man kinda fucking sucks, despite him mostly doing good work in them. After the eulogizing hoo-ha I th...

Sapp was the more well-rounded player, and the more consistently dominate player.

The crazy part is that John Randle was likely better than both of them, but nobody gives a shit because he was wasting away in MN for his whole career.

PopeyeJones

yeah, you can tell they are trying to tone down Samberg's obnoxiousness though, and its a better show for it. Absolutely. Everything Mike Schur has been involved with is kinda atypical for standard network comedy in that the leads (Michael Scott, Leslie Knope, Jake Peralta) aren't just the straight...

PopeyeJones

And now we know why Pete Rock talked over all the tracks. Sheesh. Caring about what one random group of clowns that in no way makes any attempt to reflect what posters on this site enjoy is really silly. I liked dude wining because if there's any value out of any of this, putting some sort of valid...

PopeyeJones

The Wrong Mans is fucking great, Broadchurch really good too.

Larry2times wrote:Kid Stays In The Picture doc is a classic too, its basically the audiobook with pictures

True. IIRC Patton has an old bit about how fucking awesome the actual audio book for it is, and how it's really the only way to consume it.

PopeyeJones

Are you looking for serious "film history" stuff or entertaining "film industry" stuff?

If the latter, The Kid Stays in the Picture >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

PopeyeJones

p&g being a 90s movie at heart. I don't completely agree with it (see below) but there is def something to it. there IS something in the movie reminiscent of the quirky 90s indy crime thrillers, spliced with Bay's relatively 'smaller' but already garish style pre-BB2 p&g feels more cynical and jade...

PopeyeJones

I liked it a lot. A little slow but in that good kinda way that doesn't get boring. It feels like a movie. I'm curious what the long term plan for this show is. Has there been anything saying it's a one and done season or could the stretch it out to a full on series? Good shit. I haven't heard much...
