Such a fan. If Tommy Wiseau has the Citizen Kane under his belt, DeCoteau's filmography has the length and consistency of Hitchcock.

i watched the documentary abt troll 2, it was kind of interesting tho all the hyper fans were a bit hard to take after while, the part where the guy who played the storekeeper said that the panel where everyone was cheering for him was the best moment of his life was kinda sad and touching and made me think thoughts

watched Antiviral, Cronenberg kid has potential, the plot diverges a bit though

I watched Shakma, a movie where a baboon used for lab experiments goes nuts and kills a bunch of live action role-players. That sentence is better than the movie.
It's a toss up over who gives the better performance as an evolved primate between the baboon and Christopher Atkins. I'm pretty sure it's the baboon.

There are SO MANY straight to DVD "dark" "thriller" type things on here and I figure at least ONE of them has to be good. Right?

Just found out that the baboon in the Shakma movie isn't a Chacma but is a smaller Hamadryas baboon. They even cheaped out on the primate!

My Amityville Horror is weird - the dude seems like he has an incredible amount of rage barely kept under control, and for all the intense hatred expressed towards george lutz, iirc he never really expounded on why he felt that way?? i mean, i was only giving the movie about 2/3 of my attention so maybe i missed it, but all he really said was that george was a military guy with no parenting skills.
and the scene when lorraine warren pulls out the so-called true cross relic... hmmm.

Showtime needs to license some of their old content to Netflix/etc. so I can relive Odyssey Five and Jeremiah.

The Showtime/HBO/etc pay channels are really horrible at even making their content available on paid services like iTunes. You have to wait until the season is over and it's on disc to buy it online. Probably due to contract terms with cable providers.
screw you showtime, I will download your content

yea that is interesting; kevin spacey, speaking in his role as exec prod of house of cards, recently said that the reason GoT is the most pirated show in history is b/c ppl can't get it fast enough & that seems right. netflix really has a leg up by being able 2 dump a whole season to stream @ once in that respect

i recommend the same director's movie Bigfoot Island. If you like trance films. The first 20 mostly wordless minutes is a shirtless guy walking in the woods.

I started it but couldn't take the coldness/anxiety.
So I went for Terriers based on someone's rec and it's really charming! Also I love the theme song, I should find out who/what it is. At some point tho you can see how it's all going to go wrong, and instead of thinking, "Oooh, how are they going to sink or almost sink this ship and overcome it, blah blah human nature blah" I'm like, "WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE MADE BETTER CHOICES IN EPISODE 3, NOW THIS HAPPENS."

As much as I wish Terriers had been renewed I do like where it ended.

We made it through three seasons of Damages. First season was pretty ace, second one was kind of meh, third one was decent. Started 4 and sort of felt burnt out on the show's schtick, but overall I recommend the show. Close is incredible in it.

Suspension of disbelief as mentioned upthread is def a necessity. Danson is pretty great as the S1 bad guy as well.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Monday, 26 August 2013 22:26 (ten years ago) link
lol, Danson resurfacing in that show is one of the better recurring character bits
― mh, Monday, 26 August 2013 22:49 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, the way they bring him back after S1 is over feels kind of forced, but I didn't really care because he's the greatest joy in the show.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Monday, 26 August 2013 22:51 (ten years ago) link
it's funny, I saw a little bit of him on CSI and thought, wow, this is awkward, then watched all of Damages and decided that it was more the fault of CSI's writers than Danson by far. he shows some good range.

A great face that has the same expression on it the entire time. And her head is always cocked the same way.

we loved season 1 of damages and then just couldn't get into season 2. season 1 was just too insane i think. everything else kinda has to be a letdown.

the lawyer in me wishes they upped the legal game of the show a little more -- some scenes bear a sort of resemblance to actual law practice (and I don't expect total verisimilitude since it's a kind of unreal drama thriller), but sometimes it's like they don't even try. The business stuff is also sometimes painfully unsophisticated. E.g. the whole thing where the energy company was "manipulating the markets" using that trader dude never made sense, and they got really sloppy with the writing, sometimes saying he was trading stocks and other times energy futures.
And there are a lot of plot twists for plot twists sake that are complete headscratchers.
― #fomo that's the motto (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 27 August 2013 20:35 (ten years ago) link
loved damages but it definitely takes a big step down with each season (though the campbell scott/martin short/lily tomlin season was pretty good), i also find rose byrne vaguely annoying though she was good in bridesmaids
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 27 August 2013 20:37 (ten years ago) link
i kinda loved how they fucked with you in season 1. so much stuff i never saw coming. and then season 2 just seemed more of the same only less so. the surprise element gone, i guess. but season 1 is just a great crazy t.v. show season. really cool.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 27 August 2013 20:38 (ten years ago) link
season 1 was great. it got WAY ott/clowny for me by season 3 and i had to take a break. then i never watched it again and haven't really missed it. i don't think i care enough about the frobisher case or any of it.
