Interesting. Ill finish it eventually. I liked the concept of the talking bear a lot and it was funny the first 2/3rds. I just dislike the lull you get when you have this type of relationship movie.

Yeah, Fox lost the English Premier League so they're turning their former soccer channel into a comedy channel. Gotta have somewhere to put all of those Anger Management episodes.

Haven't seen it yet, but the Fruitvale director is 27, and that was his first full-length?

Yup.
I know NT has hard critics, but I don't think any real movie buff could be disappointed with this film.
It was a weird feeling knowing I was on bart so often throughout my childhood, and even weirder knowing that I passed and stopped by Fruitvale so often with my family.
Crooger did such an amazing job capturing the essence of the Bay Area.
The acting was so genuine, the lingo, the words, the facial expressions, the clothing, the environment.
Everything just so genuine.
Just made me feel so differently about life leaving the movie theater. Something kinda unexplainable.
I wish i could put it into words, but it really does put everything into a different perspective.
I mean that in a good way.
Such an amazing job depicting such a tragic and sad event.
You gotta see it.
It's just too real. |I

Is the channel up yet? I'd expect they'd have reruns of shows airing right now before the new stuff and premiere season.
Still wonder why they couldn't just call it FX2.

Damn good movie, imo. I like how they didn't over do it on the visual effects to.
Kev, I know you like him too, you might want to check this out.

Man, this kids future is BRIGHT. Wish nothin but the best for him. I hope hollywood starts throwing work at him nonstop.
Funny to me that I know him first thru FNL, then Wire. But that's just the order that I watched the shows. I'm so backwards.

It's hard to love that movie if you read the book.
The Villian was some of the worst casting I've ever seen. Hated a good amount of the music choices. Too on the nose. Ending was different. Didn't have the same sense of inevitable doom. That's the biggest difference.
But the look was perfect. And so was Rorschach. And dr manhattan. It had its wonderful moments.
It should have always been a mini series. It needs about 12 hours.

Dub, please explain how that flick is about serial killers but actually about architecture
it's a book. dicaprio bought the rights supposedly
its about the chicago worlds fair. goes into detail on the architecture, choosing the location, the landscape, inferiority complex regarding NYC, comparing and contrasting architecture stylings
and then the other half is about a serial killer who also happened to rent out rooms during the fair. and also attended it one day.
they really have little to do with each other.
that movie has a 20 percent shot of being amazing. very difficult to put to the screen and i have a terrible feeling they are gonna take alot of leeway in what is essentially true stories using letters, quotes, newspapers

A mini series would have been awesome! Only downside is the production might have not been as good.

I saw the commercial just now too. Looks like they're taking The Social Network approach
