the motion picture/Television entertainment thread

[truthwolf1]

Just got done watching the current episode of JUSTIFIED, I love this show. Anybody else watch it? Also at the end of the episode they had that windows 7 comercial with the French chick. I think I'm in love. I know I'm bad, somebody spank me.

JUSTIFIED, kinda funny but that is the only thing I can recall watching in the past month. 1 TV. With a kid we usually have Scooby or Mickey on until the animal falls asleep.
My wife will extremely hiss and fit anytime I try to watch anything like UFO hunters or Big Foot so I will have to wait until they put Ancient Aliens on their website and watch it on my computer in the man cave.

Should of married a conspiracy theorist!

If you've never watched Arrested, I highly recommend it. start with season 1 and continue watching till the end. It is some funny shit. It will have you

I been enjoying Netflix online. Watched Dexter's first season. For what it's worth, not a bad series. Watched There Will Be Blood last night. Slow moving but well worth every moment. "Here, if you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and I have a straw. There it is, that's a straw, you see? You watching?. And my straw reaches acroooooooss the room, and starts to drink your milkshake... I... drink... your... milkshake"!

Arrested Development is great. If you haven't seen The Wire yet it is the best TV show of all time.

I saw the Watchmen for the second time last night, it was even better the second time.

I love Dexter the show and the books. If you like the show I recommend the books for sure. The books are darker and the story has a little more ummph than the show.

Sitting here watching Mel Gibsons "Patriot" for the umpteenth time.

Just finished the sequence where he takes out the patrol in order to free his son.

Don't piss off a patriot!

[olderthandirt]

And he keeps the dogs!

Great flic!

[olderthandirt]

And it's done.
Damn good flic!

Okay, so for those of you that have the Netflix instant viewing I suggest....

The IT Crowd. 2 guys and a chick running the IT department and hilarity ensues. This is a Brit show so if you don't like this kind of humor it may not be for you but I would still give it a try.

side note~ I have been watching 24 for the first time on Netflix and still dont see what the hype was about. I mean to be fair I am still on the first season but it took everything I had to get through the first four episodes but it got/is getting better.

King of Kong. Great documentary about Steve Wiebe and his run for the Donkey Kong High Score record. This is just awesome if you are like me and played many a game of Donkey Kong.

I do enjoy English comedies like Black Adder, Are You Being Served? and Monty Python, So I will give this a try. Thank you.

Black Adder is just criminally under appreciated on this side of the pond. It's just insanely funny stuff and is clear proof of Rowan Atkinson's genius. Mr. Bean was great but Rowan as the Black Adder must be considered one of the high points of comic acting ever put on film/videotape. His only equal, and only just barely, is the inimitable John Cleese. A close second to these two have to be Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. John Cleese was once asked whether British comedies were so funny because of the writing or the fact that they were British. He replied that the British people were the funniest in the world but were entirely unaware of it which makes everything just that much funnier.

I agree with darwin there. Father Ted is great fun as well!
