i kinda don't feel like going back to Fringe...i dunno, its a commitment. i'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. and the alternating oh no the world is gonna end/ho hum xfiles unrelated/unconnected episode thing kinda bugs me. i mean you would think the end of the world would be the only thing they were working on.

scott have they gone to amber fringeworld yet? because that whole setup is pretty choice.

j., Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:16 (ten years ago) link

no, not yet. can't remember where we are. somewhere in season two i think.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:17 (ten years ago) link

okay i checked we are on s2 e12.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:19 (ten years ago) link

i think s03 might be the best

j., Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:25 (ten years ago) link

at least stick around for a few more episodes. You get the Peter Weller one and this:

oh and i watched the expendables 2 the other night. i enjoyed the action sequences. not so enjoyable when there is any kind of lull or any scene where people aren't killing people. but luckily there are few of those kind of scenes.

already anticipating the next one. mickey rourke! jackie chan! wesley snipes! mel gibson!

"On May 22, Stallone confirmed he needed a "Young Sigourney Weaver" and after passing on Milla Jovovich, started eying other MMA talent."

i mean duh beckinsale.

will probably go back to fringe. got hung up on orange and new girl and some movies. and now i kinda wanna watch Psych...

it was nice of The Glades to tell me in one pilot episode that i didn't need to continue. i'm in and out.

and i want to watch Battlestar again. maria hasn't seen it all the way through. she would kinda/sorta watch it a little when i was watching it but i got obsessed and she got lost and found other things to do when i was watching. i think it would be fun to watch with her. i just hope my heart can take watching it again. that show kills me.

scott seward, Sunday, 21 July 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link

scott definitely, DEFINITELY hang around with Fringe at least til the Peter Weller ep. It's the best of the series imo

Or just watch that one, It stands alone. Plus, Peter Weller.

mh, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:06 (ten years ago) link

Peter Weller guest stars in a Psych episode too.

tokyo rosemary, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:27 (ten years ago) link

Thinking about cancelling this and just going with discs and amazon prime. Any reason not to?

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:31 (ten years ago) link

The exclusive shows may have a season 2, but you could resubcribe later

mh, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:32 (ten years ago) link

i am fond of peter weller. who isn't?

scott seward, Monday, 22 July 2013 03:56 (ten years ago) link

he can turn the world on with his smile.

what if you get like a super strong urge to watch lesbian dramas but suspect that this urge might not last until the usps shows up with your disc?

j., Monday, 22 July 2013 05:32 (ten years ago) link

lol

no non-comment hits for ctrl+f "oz" = no need to read that article

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 July 2013 17:13 (ten years ago) link

lol and then of course i scroll through and see it's about actual women's prison experience so nevermind

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Monday, 22 July 2013 17:13 (ten years ago) link

If you need like a fifth opinion repeating the same thing, yes Scott, you should definitely watch the Peter Weller episode. (You can skip the 1930's one tho')

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 22 July 2013 18:59 (ten years ago) link

Is that when they went back to kill hitler?

President Keyes, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:09 (ten years ago) link

oh no do they all act like they are from the 30's? *groan* the only episode of army wives i didn't watch on netflix was one where everyone goes back in time to world war II. *groan*

Psych is funny cuz its corny and goofy and it reminds me of stuff i liked when i was a kid. its a nostalgia show in some ways. so perfectly at home with itself within its fake t.v. universe, so rigidly formulaic. i dig that. i was a big fan of tenspeed and brownshoe and simon & simon and corny stuff like that when i was a kid.

and that lead guy is a perfect mix of ben stiller + tom cruise + steve carell.

scott seward, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:11 (ten years ago) link

I don't think there was a 1930s episode for reals

President Keyes, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:20 (ten years ago) link

There was a 1980s one where you saw Walter in his full brain days

President Keyes, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:22 (ten years ago) link

Wasn't there one where Walter eats a pot brownie and dreams that his life is a musical or something?

mh, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:23 (ten years ago) link

Yes that one. I guess it was like noir-ish or something

Chuck_Tatum, Monday, 22 July 2013 19:41 (ten years ago) link

all the greenaway tulse luper stuff? any good?

johnny crunch, Monday, 22 July 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link

i watched 'startlet' - recommended

johnny crunch, Monday, 22 July 2013 20:33 (ten years ago) link

we watched TWINS last night. pretty bad movie. but i love danny devito.

― i guess i'd just rather listen to canned heat? (ian)

kelly preston in twins is next level, there are some PG limit-pushing moments w/her.

christmas candy bar (al leong), Monday, 22 July 2013 20:41 (ten years ago) link

all the greenaway tulse luper stuff? any good?

Did he ever finish that? I saw the first 4 (?) hours in Toronto about ten years ago. If you like him at least some of the time, it's worth a look.

peter greenaway! there's someone you don't hear about much anymore.

scott seward, Monday, 22 July 2013 20:50 (ten years ago) link

Will be viewing that asap.

Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 17:50 (ten years ago) link

it's pretty terrible but it's super entertaining and weirdly sweet for a movie about cocaine ninjas vs a tae kwon do rock band

latebloomer, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 17:54 (ten years ago) link

this thread is pretty much half miami connection talk.

scott seward, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 20:06 (ten years ago) link

yeah i didn't want to be a thread cop but there's a bunch of chatter itt! legit entertaining bad movie.

goole, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 20:07 (ten years ago) link

Better question is, how many have ordered the tank top?

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 20:10 (ten years ago) link

If you haven't watched Terriers, it is available on Instant, terrific, and discussed / raved-about on this thread: DONAL LOGUE POLL

ንፁህ አበበ (nabisco), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:21 (ten years ago) link

I have watched the entire series twice!

mh, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:27 (ten years ago) link

Awesome -- I meant the collective "you," obviously

Scott upthread reminds me that I do also love Psych, for light-TV watching -- and it's such a meta goofy in-joke show that it gets much better as it goes along, and starts doing things like episode-long Twin Peaks parodies (with Twin Peaks actors and Julee Cruise singing the theme song). Also all its in-joke conventions, like the made-up names for Dule Hill's character, get increasingly funny.

ንፁህ አበበ (nabisco), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:38 (ten years ago) link

nabisco! is that you for real? i was just thinking about you yesterday. hope you are well.

scott seward, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:43 (ten years ago) link

Yes, hi, I'm doing great!

ንፁህ አበበ (nabisco), Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:48 (ten years ago) link

I would never assume that nabisco was addressing me personally!

mh, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 21:49 (ten years ago) link

Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 23 July 2013 23:11 (ten years ago) link

i should try terriers sooner or later

sassy, fun, and RELATABLE (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 03:15 (ten years ago) link

I tried. Made it through two episodes.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 July 2013 03:16 (ten years ago) link

double secret cancel it

j., Wednesday, 24 July 2013 03:17 (ten years ago) link
