Movies & TV we like...

I like TV and I like movies and i'm sure as hell that you lot do too. I like The Wire, The Sopranos, Entourage and Dexter especially but there are plenty more. Recommend me some good new American (or British) TV for me to watch - preferably with links to watch 'em. Also, recommendations of new/old films that you like will be helpful. Other than that, talk about whatever films/TV you want, 'cause I'm bored as hell.

just finished watching season 3 of dexter last night. nice ending to it, but i was expecting a bigger finale.

PLEASSEEEEE dont tell me what happens.

Oh snap, was that the finale? Shit... I suppose it has to be, can't think of any loose ends, but damn i want more dexter.

Only things i really watch are that, Prison Break, House and Heroes, and i'm totally going to stop watching heroes soon because it is steadily getting suckier. Oh yeah and i will probably go back to lost when it comes back, it started to get good again before the end of the season.

seriously this week i've gotten stuck on Estate of Panic and Cha$e on SciFi because I love reality tv shows that turn people into greedy, backstabbing, conniving rats...

Estate....survive a "haunted" house sorta
Cha$e....survive in a live action videogame for an hour

I'm ADDICTED!!!!!

everybody needs to watch LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

yeah the past two seasons were 13 episodes each, this ended at 12. tied everything together nicely yes but i wanted one more big twist.

Got super high and watch BBC's Planet Earth on my mate's HUGE tv with mint surround and all that... FUCKING BOH! Such a mind blowing series.

yeah planet earth was definitely a super dope series.

i <3 my planet earth dvd set

blue planet is dope too

Ditched my tv, but can get on the d/l for most shows. Watched shitloads of films in the last week

The Bank Job - pretty good thriller set in 70's London, apparently fact based

Begotten - experimental cinema loosely based around creation myths. No dialogue, looks like it's shot on silent age cameras. For all it's limitations, is one of the most compelling film experiences I've ever had. Or pretentious wank depending on your point of view.

The Happening - really don't know what the point of this was, with its pomposity it would have done way better as a black comedy rather than the over-earnest filler that it is.

Boy A and The Life Before Her Eyes - both based on real life events (James Bulger murder and high school shootings), interesting for actually building the personalities behind the monsters and their victims. Also both really sad, so you may want to see this after....

Hot Rod - one of the funniest films I've seen in a long time. Ian McShane as the competetive dad is just too funny (might be remembering him from Lovejoy years back though).

Oh and if you get the chance, watch Stewart Lee - 41st best standup. Don't know if it might be too british reference wise but is implausibly funny

I've been on an Anthony Asquith kick lately. Pygmalion, The Browning Version(by far my favorite), The Importance of Being Earnest, and I found a pretty crappy rip of The Winslow Boy(this film is wonderful).

Also been on a Slavko Vorkapich kick, too...

just watched the pilot of Freaks and Geeks (made by the Judd Apatow dude who did Superbad and that) and it's goood. It's set in a high school in the 80's so i thought it might appeal to you older guys... (and girls )

all my favs are between seasons.

cant wait for Lost to come back on

for the most part tho I still only watch ID tv

I thought of you today cuz I recently went back to ID after a lil break...Deranged on Richard Ramirez....mmmmmm

Oh yeah, been watching the hell out of metalocalypse on adult swim's website too (bellybelle's pic reminded me), weird because i really don't like most metal, and it's not really my sense of humor, but for some reason i love that show.

Aah shit i love superjail. Surreal but brutal as hell. The violence in that and metalocalypse is crazy, although i keep finding myself almost talking like Swisgar and Toki if i watch too much.

"It appears the yard wolves has growed up, are we finally finished withs the colds dead winters?"

Of course the classics... South Park, Family Guy, Futurama (possibly the best show ever), Simpsons... even a bit of King of the Hill

And pretty much anything on Adult Swim. Seriously. About the only time Ill turn it off is when Assy McGee comes on. I didnt like Tim and Eric at first, but now that Ive figured them out, its hilarious. Steve Brule FTW. Oh and the History show they got going is fucking awesome!!!! Look it up on the site if you havent seen it, so dope.

Ive really been getting back into Discovery/History/Science/NatGeo/TLC etc... (they're all basicall the same channel now anyway) documentary style shows since I got cable back. Mega Disasters and The Universe are dope... Love the Dirty Jobs type shows too.

Oh and How Its Made is the sickest shit. I could watch a How Its Made channel all fucking day long. How you make a golf ball, jet engine and cheese puffs all in the same episode? Fuck yeah. All fucking day.

Looking for my sweet new avitar I found this... dope.
