Dread Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Just finished the first season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. What a well written show. Once you get over the terrible designs on the characters, the animation is quite nice, too. It's rare to see a show get Hulk right, but he's pitch perfect, here. I'm a fan of most of the designs, myself. Some, like the pitch perfect comic look of Kang, look silly. Probably my favorite superhero cartoon of all time next to Batman Brave and the Bold.

Molly Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I like what they did with Giant Man/Ant Man, but I think both Iron Man and Thor look a bit rough. Great show, though. Once you get used to the designs, they work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 I watched the first five episodes and thought they were fun. I need to finish it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Black Snake Moan- It's been on my rental list as a low priority for ages and finally got thrown up. Big fan of Ricci wearing little to nothing, but there is actually more to this film that makes it sorta work. You really do want the characters win a little, although I had the feeling all the way through that it'd go real dark at the end. It's odd how what starts out as an exploitation movie turns into a reasonably effective drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 As emotional as it is, there's a portion of Toy Story 3 that's needlessly dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ha! The scene where they all join hands and prepare to die a fiery death at the junkyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 Not pulling any punches in a kid's movie is kind of Pixar's thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 See now, that was absolutely the best part of the movie. Without that, I'd have thought "Eh. Pretty good." After that, it became "holy god, this movie is amazing." Knowing a ton of families with very young kids who saw the movie, none of them had any complaints about that scene.

dc20willsave Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 This week's My Little Pony Friendship is Magic was just made of awesome. It had John de Lancie voicing a reality warping trickster. This show is just made of pure concentrated awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted September 17, 2011 Report Share Posted September 17, 2011 I watch the Rifftrax of Batman Forever AND Batman and Robin today. Excuse me, I need to go scrub my soul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Okay, seriously, Q showing up on MLP and being the trickster/Loki archetype is awesome. And the epic fantasyness of the whole thing is also awesome. Also, watched Tucker and Dale vs. Evil tonight. Great canadian horror/comedy of errors that's gonna have you rolling at several points. Plus, just a great hick in the woods genre parody. And Alan Tudyk. Find this if you can, and quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 The Madness of King George - FINALLY I've discovered where you godforsaken colonists picked up the "what what" insult for me and my countrymen! Away from that, there's some great performances here from the late Sir Nigel Hawthorne, Dame Helen Mirren, Ian Holm, Rupert Everett and Rupert Graves, who's nowadays best known as Lestrade in Sherlock. I also like that you don't end the film sympathising with the king - the one main difference in story between this film and The King's Speech, which isn't an ultimately dissimilar film.

dc20willsave Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 And the second part of the My Little Pony season premiere was just awesome. It had this scene at the end, a near perfect homage to the ending of Star Wars: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Watching Buffy, just got to the episode about psychic tropes and school shooting that happened literally a week after Columbine. Holy god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Roller Blade - Watching this movie, I couldn't help but think that it's like what a Troma Film would be like with a little less production value and a little bit more schlock. It features roller-blading future nuns who heal with switch blades fighting a gimp who wields the world's worst Muppet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The life of David Gale: I've wanted to see this for years. So, finally watching it was a really big let down. It goes along at a very slow pace, and doesn't try to hold your interest after the first half hour, sort of acting like "Well....you watch Kevin Spacey have sex with that hot girl.....now endure 90 minutes of nothing happening" I won't be watching it again. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

KnightWing Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just started watching Supernatural. I started it once a couple years back but got busy and had to stop after the first couple episodes. I just now marathoned the first season over last week and am already into the second. Holy crap, this show is awesome. How was I not watching this before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Im Juli (In July) - A German Romantic Comedy. Cute, funny, and pretty good. Honestly, it's just so good from a stylistic point of view. Much of the film relies on coincidence but it's a comedy so it's allowable.
