dc20willsave Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't mind True Blood. The vampires are much more traditional than Twilight and no one is an out and out Veggie Vampire. That said, it's also incredibly campy sometimes. Personally, it's like comparing Apples and a rotting pile of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I haven't watched an episode of True Blood for one reason or other. That being said, any show that has gratuitous nude scenes of Anna Paquin makes me thankful of its existence, regardless of its quality or lack thereof.

Stavros Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It has gratuitous nude scenes of more than her. And yet somehow I stopped watching. It's odd, I seem to have an issue with porn in drama, when done cheaply it's my least favourite thing in Game of Thrones too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 If you want a decent vampire TV drama, watch Vampire Diaries. The first couple episodes are pretty Twilighty, but after that it's surprisingly hardcore. (not literally hardcore... you know what I mean) I agree about Game of Thrones, too. I kind of always think gratuitous nudity in drama should have purpose. In GoT it often feels like the only purpose is to fill HBO's nudity quota for the episode.

Stavros Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 They literally brought Roz in to fill that quota. She never appears in the book and then all of a sudden we're following sexual exploits across the 7 kingdoms like a lord of the rings/Emmanuel crossover.

Stavros Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Twilight:Breaking Dawn pt1 was worth it for the Rifftrax that goes with it. It the most godawful slow movie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koete Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just finished watching the episodes I missed from Season 2. Definitely one of the best comedies currently on television, maybe one of the best shows period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothian Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Jesus tapdancing Christ, some 13 year old is totally going to use that for her baby. A co-worker of mine gave birth in October to a daughter named Shaquoya. I thought this had no basis, other than the fact my co-worker herself has a stupid name (Chericce) and is generally rather thick - she has her own name tatooed on her foot. I was then informed the name came from 'Friends' as a potential name for Ross & Rachel's daughter. So the name did have a basis, but it's still awful and I feel sorry for the inconvenience that the sprog has to endure. Still, a portmanteau name from a sub-par teen literary series is just as bad. Parents, you DO have every right to name your own child. But please, think of said child aged 6, having to wonder why their peers at infant school laugh at their name. If you still disagree, google "adolf hitler campbell" or indeed, his sisters JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I can't stand these people that have to name their kid something unique. I have to read these names every day, and it's somehow my fault when I misprounce it. Once a kid got mad at me for getting it wrong and I told them they should be mad at their parents for naming them something nobody can say out loud in English.

Stavros Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Haywire's got one of the oddest divides between critics and audiances I've seen. I thought it was great as did 80% of critics, but the audiance reviews were only about 40% positive (all stats from Rotten Tomatoes). In addition all the feedback I've got from people on boards has been negative. I haven't been at odds with so many people since I came out as a fan of The Cable Guy. Also, despite watching the trailer about 10 times I failed to realise the awesomeness of the cast- Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbinder, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, Noomi Rapace (the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). Love to see a horror franchise getting a real reboot with a top notch cast. Plus it returns the whole thing to a certain standard allowing me to mentally ditch the AVP films as high budget fanfic and not part of the ongoing canon. If I worked at that studio I'd never EVER allow the Alien films to be put in a boxed set with the AVP films. I'd be unhappy letting Resurrection in as it is.

Then Winona Ryder was cast. In my last student house, my housemate had a boxset of all Alien & Predator released up until that point (this was before Predators came out). I'll save my thoughts on the two AvP movies until Dread Reel-lief gets round to them, but Resurrection aside, I really liked all the original films. Yes, including Alien 3 and Predator 2. The Alien series was helped that they all had Director's cut/workprint versions included, so it helped me gain more of an appreciation for Alien 3.
