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

Not sure if this has been bought up in the thread recently but for those that goes to the movie a lot during the month then looking into Movie Pass(if offered in you area). Also buying tickets at Costco can help save money
 
Anyone catch Resurrection tonight? Thoughts?

Pilot episode wasn't half bad, will be tuning in next week
Can't front I only flipped to it when the Good Wife went to commercial.

Seemed creepy and okay. Epps character didn't seem much of a presence and the whole way the premise was executed seemed unbelievable. If the gov't came across missing or dead ppl (dead for over 30 years mind you) who had their memories intact, they study the phenomena not release them under the care of one agent to go back to where they think they live and spring themselves on loved ones who think they're dead :lol: That whole part just seemed weird and it was taken far too casually.

Like I know I'll be flipping if my dead son from 30 years ago showed up. Plus there'd be way more media coverage.

I heard supposedly that the director of Resurrection has never seen an episode of The Returned and he didn't want any "ideas" more or less from their version. 

Anyway, I want to see The Returned as well. It's on Netflix. Just need to make some time to sit and watch it.
Sirens, the new show on USA, is hilarious. Check it out people
I have it in my DVR. Probably going to give it a shot this week.
 
Still zero desire to watch any movies :lol:

I made it through Thor 2 last week and.... that's it. I've had Blue Jasmine for a week, finally sent it back because I'm just not going to watch it. I'm going to eventually, of course, but yeah. It certainly seems like my depressed to-go move is marathoning TV shows rather than movies. Maybe because it's easier to check Facebook every 5 minutes when I'm watching TV than a full movie.. I don't know :lol:

Having said that, I have made it through seasons 2, 3, and halfway through season 4 of Friends the last week :lol: I'm debating if I should just keep going even though the show falls off, or just repeat after season 5 or so.. I forget when it starts to get bad, but I think I'm going to find out soon.

I am reminded of how awesome this show really was. Yeah.. the group only dated like one black guy in New York City and the later seasons had plenty of eye-rolling "How is this so popular?" moments, but the early years were classic sitcom seasons. The writing is sharp and clever. The characters are certainly more tame and traditional compared to the last decade of sitcoms, but they're still well written and performed well by all the actors. The serialization of the story is a nice contrast to a lot of modern shows that don't seem to keep up with a plotline for more than 2-3 episodes. And while it's hardly gripping drama, the "challenges" of being a twentysomething isn't the most important "issue"... but the show still addresses those problems very well. I don't know if it would be as funny if I didn't grow up on the show and watch reruns all the time, though. I think it holds up pretty well, but I'm also pretty biased because I was a huge fan of the show growing up.

I'm still bummed and she's returned from vacation so I have to deal with her again at work :lol: :smh: and resisting the urge to check Facebook :stoneface: I am doing better, though. I just don't have anywhere to vent :lol: I used TAN a few times. My best friend and I e-mailed a few times back and forth over it but I think he's done listening.

I also tried to relate it to TV and movies a bit so give me a break :lol: I needed an outlet

How bout Pitch Perfect? That would take your mind off for a few.
Or Wolf of Wall street a couple times?

Any films you haven't seen that would surprise a bunch of movie dudes? Like me not seein OG Robocop.
 
I have plenty of go-to movies that I love and can watch a million times, I just have zero interest in sitting through a movie. Even if I just put it on in the background.. I'm just like "ehh" :lol:

I went through a similar phase with movies probably a couple years back... and there was no reason for it. I had La Vie en Rose from Netflix for literally 3 weeks and never opened the envelope and then just didn't watch a new movie for like a month or two. Then I started going through 3-4 new movies a week. I certainly have plenty of movies to watch. My Netflix queue will never been empty :lol: but I've felt like this before the breakup so it's not directly related.

I am enjoying the hell out of Friends at the moment, though. So that's good.
 
Fast Five followed by Fast Six would prolly give you the smiles for 4-5 hours if you need a break from Friends.
 
Yeah, we work in very close quarters together but not everyday.. just a few times a week. :lol:

Since you brought up Friends, is it cool if I say how hot Jen Anniston and Courtney Cox were in that show? Because they were.
 
Absolutely. Courtney Cox looked good even with some awful short haircuts they gave her.. but Jennifer Anniston was insanely hot. Plus she's kind of underrated comically too.
 
Aniston is one of thee most underrated women ever looks wise.

The fact no one wants to stay with her tells me she's either needy as ****, or worthless in the dark.

Cuz she's got the wifey look big time. Even in ratty clothes with her hair in a ponytail and no makeup, she still looks good. Unreal. :smh:

I watch pretty much anything she's in just because.
 
Big J, watch the movie in my avatar. Not even trying to troll :lol: you'll definitely catch some feels but I think it could also weirdly turn out to be a pretty healing experience.

Just saw Catching Fire last night w/ my girl.

:wow:

Mmmmaaaannnnn, just like The Happening, I have a feeling nearly everyone is completely missing the point, and the societal implications are going way over the collective heads of viewers.

Teens just watching it because they're supposed to, dudes just watching it because of Jennifer, females just watching it because it's a female main character/heroine, and movies buffs just watching it because it's killing it at the box office. Meanwhile, the overall message... is lost.

LOVED Catching Fire, and can't WAIT for Mocking Jay.

And JLaw. :wow:

Bump that.
