When Bob's Burger first came out, I watched the first few episodes and hated it for some reason, I can't remember.

But I tried watching it again last week and love it. Pleasant surprise to hear Kevin Kline.

My favorite part so far is when Gene wins the mascot race and is being interviewed by Kevin Kline. He asks Gene where the burgers are from and Gene hems and haws. And you hear Bob is the background screaming, "IT'S BOBS BURGER! YOU WORK THERE EVERYDAY!!"

I was on the floor tears in my eyes

I love that episode.

I like watching with my son. It's a suprisingly raunchy show, though.

 

[Jobber]

It's been streaming for quite a while now, but I'm really enjoying Copper. It's a BBC show about an Irish detective in the late 1800's New York.

 

[Insein]

Catching up on some old films I never saw.

Watched Donnie Darko in full finally. Always caught pieces of it and thought it was not that good. Finally saw the whole thing and it is great.

Also watched Big trouble in Little China. Classic 80's cinema there but I think I lose some of the magic watching it now. I feel like if I saw that when I was 10, it would have been incredible. Now its just ok.

Wife and I started The Returned this weekend. French with subtitles. People who are known to be long dead start showing up alive (actually alive, not zombies) in a small French town. Only a couple of episodes in, but so far it is creepy and really, really good.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Hemlock Grove!! New season is out!

Possibly the worst show on Netflix. By far.

Almost rivals Fletch in terms of my ability to spew one-liner quotes. It's still incredible to me. And I'm 10x4....

End of Watch - Raw, edge of seat police drama that follows two partners in LA.

I just watched this last night. I really liked it. When it started and I realized how the camera shots were going to be, I thought "Oh no, not gonna enjoy this". I was wrong. Great acting too.

Was it just me, or did they totally ditch the found footage stuff towards the end of the movie and hope no one would notice?

Yup. It picks and chooses when to use it. Bugged me a little.

It actually ruined the movie for me. It's a pet peeve of mine that if you are going to attempt that you have to pay attention to details and stay consistent.

I liked it while it was on. It should have gone another season but they do a good job of wrapping it up at the end.

If you haven't seen it, Hell on Wheels is a better show set in that time period.

Season 1 of Hell on Wheels was kind of a mess but Season 2 was great. I think Season 3 drops this week.

One of my favs, but I guess it probably is a little out-dated now. But you know what ol' Jack Burton says at a time like this...

I know. Just figured if anyone wants to get up to speed for the next season, there's some time.

 

[McGarnicle]

Loving the Zeitgeist movies. Very conspiracy laden but thought-provoking and mostly truthful IMO.

 

[Copeman]

Homefront, with Jason Statham.

Not bad at all. One of his better films. Enjoyed it throughout.

3.5/5

 

[EYLive]

Insidious - 2/5

There were a handful of jumpy scares but the convoluted story bogged it down.

 

[EYLive]

A Fantastic Fear of Everything - 1/5

Dumb. A Brit yelling and over-reacting to everything. Not very funny. Good thing I had my fully charged phone with me as my GF sat through this snoozefest.

 

[Dan Gladden's Mustache]

Homefront, with Jason Statham.

Not bad at all. One of his better films. Enjoyed it throughout.

3.5/5

I liked this one quite a bit too.

3.5/5

I'd actually bump it up to a 4 out of 5.. Loved the build up.. Wife really liked it also which is a rarity that her and I enjoy the same movie

 

[Insein]

Theres about 5 or 6 Statham movies on Netflix right now. All made within the last 4 years.

 

[5Rings]

Really enjoying Freaks and Geeks.

 

[Copeman]

Oldboy

I think I liked it. It's one of those movies. Held my interest, kind of an odd twist at the end, but a good one.

3/5

I guess the re-make? The one with Josh Brolin. Didn't know the original was on Netflix as well.

When Bob's Burger first came out, I watched the first few episodes and hated it for some reason, I can't remember.

But I tried watching it again last week and love it. Pleasant surprise to hear Kevin Kline.

My favorite part so far is when Gene wins the mascot race and is being interviewed by Kevin Kline. He asks Gene where the burgers are from and Gene hems and haws. And you hear Bob is the background screaming, "IT'S BOBS BURGER! YOU WORK THERE EVERYDAY!!"

I was on the floor tears in my eyes

Bob's Burgers has been the highlight of Fox's animation lineup for a couple years now IMO. It's kind of funny how the long term mainstays (Family Guy, Simpsons) are barely watchable, while American Dad and Bob's Burgers, after slow-ish starts, are great.

 

[Northern Voice]

Just started watching The League last night. Holy crap its funny.

One of the first couple of episodes and they are in a bar and dude brings the bald guy a beer. The bald guy, "Um, I ordered a Reisling." Other dude, "Yeah, I know, but we are in public."

I don't get it. It's the dog days of summer TV so I'll try watching this since nothing else is on.

I wasn't a fan of this show for the first couple seasons but I kept plugging away at it when I didn't have much else to watch. For some reason it finally clicked with me (or got better) in the most recent 2 seasons and I absolutely love it.

I started watching this a few nights ago... I'm already on season 4 love it.

I like American Dad but Bob's Burgers in particular is outstanding. Has probably passed Archer as my favorite animated show on TV.

 

[Jobber]

I just finished The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.

Somehow I had never seen this one before. What a great movie. As far as old Westerns go, I give it a 5/5.

Yeah, I love Archer as well, I'd probably agree the latest season of Bob's Burgers is better than the latest season of Archer.

haven't seen the remake. How are the original sequels?

 

[Copeman]

I really have no desire to watch the original. I don't doubt it's better, but I read where the remake is basically the same plot and everything. While I enjoyed the remake for what it was, I have no desire to watch the movie (original) again.

Pretty much why I don't want to see the remake. No need.

I'm assuming you mean Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Mr Vengeance? They're okay. Not nearly as good as Oldboy.

It's not. Spike Lee made some major changes to the story, and it suffered as a result.

Yeah. But subtitles have never bothered me. I know it does some people.

They don't bother me much either, but they bother me enough to not re-watch the movie, even if some things are different.

Perhaps on a rainy day.

 

[snogger]

Same with Dragon Tattoo series

I've seen both the original series and the first remake and liked them both.. It's hard to compare them right now as you really only can compare parts 1 since the remakes of 2 and 3 have never come about.

You're not talking to the actual Dan Gladden's Mustache. I'm just a short term usurper.

But yeah, basically every Japanese or Korean film I've been told great things about has pretty much sucked. Oldboy and Audition are the two prime examples.
