Thoughts on the pilot? I have it set to record and pretty excited about the show.

Kind of mad I didn't record "The Returned". Sundance not being in HD makes it so difficult to watch....
 
:wow: GODZILLA

I've been waiting my whole life for another Godzilla that truly captures the spirit of the original. Looks like we're finally getting it!

Very nice trailer. Best trailer by far :pimp:

Lol everytime i hear bryan talk I always imagine him as walter white now
 
I'm going to be pissed if Gravity wins best picture. Might be the worst nominee in my opinion. Here's how I rank all the nominees:

1. American Hustle

2. Wolf of Wall Street

3. Nebraska 

4. 12 Years a Slave

5. Dallas Buyers Club

6. Her (overrated) 

7. Captain Philips (overrated) 

8. Gravity (stupid Sandra Bullock floating around in space for 90 minutes, visuals were cool) 

Haven't seen Philomena so I can't rank it. I wouldn't be mad if any of my top 4 won it. 
 
There wasn't enough Elizabeth Olsen in that trailer, but other than that it was awesome.
 
Didn't know Liz Olsen had eyes like that. :nerd:

But yeah, that looked cool. I mean, the big awe-inspiring shots they aimed for were kinda just okay looking. And Cranston's my dude, but I think the jury's still out on if he could be that guy to carry something this big. I think I'm still looking forward to Oldman and Apes 2 over this.

It does look like they made a whole lotta good decisions, though.

...

sidebar: I know it's all opinions, but...people keep trying to give Gravity the Tron: Legacy brush off. Some 'awesome visuals, stupid movie.' No, no, no. I have never, in my life, had a filmgoing experience like Gravity in IMAX 3D. That **** was soul-stirring. I've never felt like I was all alone in a theater full of people before like that. I've never felt like I was INSIDE of a film like that before. It's not awesome visuals. It's a once in a lifetime filmgoing experience. Nothing will ever do that again. They found the golden medium: space. And they did absolutely everything you can do, within it.

The only real knocks I can give Gravity are that, they ran out of tricks, and had to start recycling or pushing beyond the serious. And that they took a too literal perspective on the script, as opposed to Sunshine, which too a too poetic/surreal/psycho-fantastic approach. There's a happy medium. Because people forget that Sunshine had some of the most beautifully poetic writing in it. That's what Gravity needed. It had to be more of a poem of solitude, desperation and death. It needed more Sunshine and The Fountain and The Tree of Life in it. Because that'd beat the Touched by an Angel backstory they gave Sandra Bullock.

But no. Writing it off, is acting like you weren't there, or that there was something ordinary about how ridiculously well made it was. Yeah, my other knock on it, is that I don't wanna watch it outside of an IMAX ever, but I can live with that. Requiem for a Dream is a great film, and I don't want to watch that within this lifetime ever again.

Eh, Gravity wasn't that good, experience and all.

That Gozilla trailer was cool but it didn't hit me like wow, didn't stir anything in me.

That Gravity post is why we're glad to have you back, Mr. O. The writing knocked the movie down for me. If it was more poetic, it'd probably would be in my top 5. Bullock's character lacked that poetry that you referenced. Maybe then the howling would've been heart wrenching for me instead of a wtf moment.
 
I really regret not seeing Gravity in IMAX 3D. I kept hearing how incredible it was and how it was a must watch in theaters.. I just didn't get a chance to see it. :smh:

Yep, thank you Mr.O for saying what I been saying to everyone that tried to shade the film.

By the way don't be fooled by the trailer, Cranston is like the 3rd or 4th billed actor in Godzilla, just the most popular.

Plus Cranston can carry anything, lets be real now.

Yeah. I mean, I could take the uh...surreal reveal scene...just fine for what it was. But it was that howl scene and the end that just stuck out the most to me. Without those, I'd just take the movie as a Paul Greengrass (outside of the Bournes) type of ultra-realism film and be fine with that. But seeing them try to hit those poetic, cathartic moments and miss, really hurt.

And being so meticulous and thoughtful with the staging, cinematography, tension, and pacing, but then so mechanical and CBS with the dialogue... :smh: You could literally just rip out pieces of Sunshine's dialogue and its ridiculously good (but now played out) score, drop them in, and that's top ten of the decade, easy.

That's still the kind of movie that needs to be re-released in IMAX every few years.

I don't wanna throw dirt on your setup, but like...not seeing it in 3D means you'll miss what they did inside her helmet, and that shallow fear the runs up your spine when they just stare out into the black...and IMAX...because it was the dark of space, it felt like the screen was endless. And because they used so little score, and were so smart with the sound design...with the IMAX speakers...ignorant. The feeling of that movie was just ignorant to logic.

Cuz of the dialogue and some of the plot stuff, I kinda wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the people who saw it like that were cool on it.

Just got through watching Nebraska. Bruce Dern was great but he has some tough competition for this years Oscars.
Even though Bruce was great June Squibb STOLE THE SHOW. OMFG she was hilarious in almost every scene she was in especially when

her sons were putting the compressor back and the owners had arrived

That scene was PURE COMEDY. :rofl:

For the most part I was just missing around. I know I will miss a lot with not seeing the movie in IMAX. I will just have to use my imagination. Last semester i was too busy to stop by the theater. But I do think this will rerelease in select theaters. 

Just finish watching Lone Survivor and it is one of the better war movie of this decade. I always like a movie that is "base on a true story" My only problem was with Mark using the same jesters that he uses during most of his recent movies(Pain & Gain) this maybe why I look at watching more indie films than anything. Since you never know what you are going to get.

The movie was not long but thought out in the visual of the plot of a marine in combat during the time period.
