Dread Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 She's attractive, yes, but I'm sorry, I absolutely hate her character. I'm still gonna say for all of you who didn't like the first two eps to give it until episode 6 to make your final judgements. And so far, Joan's the office whore. Not a lot of depth there. And excuse me, but any show you need to watch the whole first half of the season to get into is a failure in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Stav: Just a bit, but even without her playing the character they're good stories, period. Des: Completely fair. It grabbed me at about the third episode, but my family started watching with me at about the fifth episode, and at the beginning of the sixth, they said they'd like to watch the rest of it with me when it got here. So, that's why I say give it to the sixth episode at the latest. And she does get more development beyond office whore, promise you that. My reasons for disliking Betty are more based on what we get with her in later seasons; she's okay in the first season and a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Also, I love Community. Really fun little comedy. Me too. I started watching it because I'm a fan of Joel McHale and ended up loving the whole set up. The end bits with Troy and Abed are always hilarious and "Modern Warfare" is one of the greatest half-hours of television ever. I can't wait for the second season, especially after the end of the season finale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 An Education- Good so far, although I'm slightly distracted by the fact that Carey Mulligan's mum was the prostitute in American Psycho. edit: Excellent film carried by Cary Mulligan with the assistance of a superb cast. Well worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Currently watching The Last Son of Krypton, Part 1. Damn. Every time I watch it, I can't help but realize how incredibly well-done it is. The El family drama, the Braniac betrayal, the minor references for future continuity, everything.

Garfield Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 It's just like they said. Part I plays out like an action hero serial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah, except the characters act like real people instead of overblown caricatures. It's great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 I decided to give up on Mad Men. I wanted to like it, I should have liked it, but I just couldn't stick with it. I'm half way through season 2 and it kinda lost me. If it was all about Don I would probably watch, but most of the other characters really don't interest me. Most people I know who love it are female, which is interesting, given how women are treated in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Enitrely fair. It's not everyone's cup of tea. Speaking from the feminine point of view, Peggy's development into playing on the same field as the guys, and Joan's general awesomeness are the main reasons I watch it. And to quote my Mom, "Yeah, the guys are all assholes, but it's so fun to watch!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Still digging Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated. I don't think the writer's are even trying to give Fred as heterosexual. This week, he started talking to a guy about ascots with the scene ending with the two of them discussing sizes and exchanging each others. This is all after Daphne practically screams, "Fuck me."

Haha, I agree. I'm loving this new incarnation. (You may have mentioned it before but) In the first episode Freddy steals a body. That's hilarious.

Stavros Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sherlock was fun. A lot of that is to do with Martin Freeman's watchability, but it actually has me interested beyond that. Mark Gatiss isn't that good as a straight actor, maybe it was the remnant of his League of Gentlemen career affecting how I saw him. Then again, he's barely in it. It'll be interesting to see how they develop this universe, they seem relatively intent on playing this straight outside of the behaviour of a few characters.

I haven't seen the third episode yet, but I thought the second was worse than the first. It's still a...mystery...to me why people are digging this show.

Molly Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Rosencrantz and Guilderstern are Dead: I could rave about this fucking movie for the rest of my life. Tim Roth and Gary Oldman are fantastic, Richard Dreyfuss is only a step behind, and you would never know that Stoppard wasn't a film guy from his direction. Flawless.
