Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Watched Primer and the whole time I thinking WTF is going on and the point of the movie. Then they get to point where the two guys are talking about protein, protein, and more protein for the first part of the movie.

So they get to the point where they time travel and dont want to speak/see their doubles. I was thinking before the Abe said it how can you use your phone if your double has the same phone. So they start to try and kill off there doubles off......
But my question is why are you not suppose to talk with your double during time travel. If the person is your double then he should know whats up and not to freak out. 
The movie was good just weird.

Just finished season 1 of The Wire. Took me years to finally start it, but I'm glad I did :pimp: .

:wow: that I just know realized Michael B. Jordan played the role of Wallace. Had no clue of his acting past, so bare with me on the lateness.
 
The Wire wasnt as impressive as other people had hype the show up to be.  Seasons 1-3 was good everything else seem like they was just filming. But I am sure you will enjoy the show.

D'Angelo's mom talking the truth about family, but it's still sad to know that they all really needed to rely on "the game" to get by, and nothing different.

That's what I've heard; that seasons 4 and 5 aren't the best. Which is a letdown because that's the last two of the series, right?

I'll watch it through, but so far I've enjoyed it after one season.
 
Tarantino is suing gawker over the leak of the Hateful Eight citing copyright infringement and contributory copyright infringement.

http://www.deadline.com/2014/01/que...readers-to-download-his-hateful-eight-script/

The crux of the suit -


“Gawker Media has made a business of predatory journalism, violating people’s right to make a buck. This time they’ve gone too far. Rather than merely publishing a news story reporting that Plaintiff’s screenplay may have been circulating in Hollywood without his permission, Gawker Media crossed the journalistic line by promoting itself to the public as the first source to read the entire screenplay illegally. Their headline boasts, ‘Here is the leaked Quentin Tarantino Hateful Eight Script’ — here, not someplace else, but ‘here’ on the Gawker website. The article then contains multiple direct links for downloading the entire screenplay through a conveniently anonymous URL by simply clicking button-links on the Gawker page, and brazenly encourages Gawker visitors to read the screenplay illegally with an invitation to ‘enjoy’ it. There was nothing newsworthy or journalistic about Gawker Media facilitating and encouraging the public’s violation of Plaintiff’s copyright in the screenplay, and its conduct will not shield Gawker Media from liability for their unlawful activity.”

I'd guess that season 4 is considered the best season, along with season 1.

Season 2 gets a bad wrap initially because it takes such a sharp left turn from the first season, but in the grand scheme it's important. Season 3 is very good and Season 4's focus on the schools is incredible. Season 5 is still good, but certain elements are weaker than the rest of the series.

Not sure how people can claim the wire as the best show ever and most don't like 2 of 5 seasons :rolleyes

Finally saw Blackfish, I must say, heart wrenching and sad |I

I still need to check Blackfish out. Was out of town when my city had the viewing.
 
Most people who said they didn't like season 2 were just wrong... bottomline. I won't say you HAVE to like season 2, but there's really nothing wrong with it other than it moved away from the corner drug storyline and threw in a whole new cast of white, working class characters.

Season 5 is still very good, but a few things got a bit tiresome
like McNulty's faking of the murders
But there's still a ton to like and still hits on a lot of important issues.
 
Dallas Buyers Club

Pretty much what I thought it would be, 2 people transforming for their roles, and no one else in the movie mattering.

That said, They both did their job, but I didn't stop and think "Oscar" or "amazing". Just that they LOOKED great in their character. The actual acting part wasn't special, at least to me. Solid, but not Daniel Day Lewis special like it has been sold.

The story was moving however. Really liked it, and loved how they attacked the FDA.

I liked Garner's character, but she was vanilla as could be, tho I heard her cuss for the first time ever. :lol:

Solid film, but to me the story of it all is more interesting than the 2 hours, I felt like it needed to be longer to really show what they did, not just renting the rooms and selling memberships.
 
Taking all the Wire opinions posted for what they're worth, but going to go into the rest of the series blind and come up with my own verdict.

And Blackfish had some parts that were hard to watch.

When that one female trainer was working with the whale during the dinner and a show performance and the whale pulled her under water and never let go.. at least that's how I remember it. :frown:

I used to go Seaworld (Orlando) almost every summer when I was younger. Fortunately, I never saw an accident occur.
 
Almost had to sock a dude over The Wire at work today . He watched the first episode and said "How do you watch this crap? It's just a bunch of ghetto people doing nothing" :x
 
Season 4 was the best season whoever told u its bad is a bad person.

Season 5 should have focused more on the media and in better ways. But the last 2 or 3 episodes are perfect so I don't really care extremly good ending
 
Since there are so many Wire fans in here and some of you probably are too young to remember it, I highly recommend Homicide: Life on the Street. It was a a cop show that David Simon produced, that also took place in Baltimore. Best cop show on network TV ever IMO. Andre Braugher was consistently brilliant as the lead detective.
 
40 minutes into "Before Midnight." How is this rated so high. It's entirely just mundane conversations carried by characters that aren't particularly interesting -- nothing else. I give up. I guess it's just not meant for me.
