I was really looking forward to seeing it because I'd love to see Ed ONeill on tv again. I made it through about ten minutes or so before changing the channel. It just wasn't funny. Like others said, there were a couple good moments but the rest fell VERY flat. I made it to the scene where the...

The final episodes aired last night. If you didn't see it, you can see the finale on Hulu. Mike Judge has said that whey they produced that episode they didn't know it would be the "series finale" (it had not been cancelled yet). However it does wrap up nicely at the end...

Last night HDNet broadcast "Legend", and it looked fantastic. I popped in the directors cut DVD into my Toshiba HD-A2 (upconverting, connected with HDMI), and it didn't even come close to the HDNet broadcast. This is a movie that definitely looks great in high definition. I can't wait for the...

I agree that this particular episode was intentionally funny, especially all the scenes with Jason Stackhouse (and he was in it a lot). This whole episode was played for laughs. The tone felt like "Shaun of the Dead" to me. Much like The Sopranos, True Blood is very, very funny when it wants...

I read somewhere that the Pilot episode was taped months prior to the rest of them, and Katy Mixon lost a lot of weight between the taping of the pilot and the rest of the series. I loved the show. I can't wait for the DVD so I can sit down and watch the whole series back to back like one long...

The following post is from the cheapassgamer forum, where we have a pretty good discussion of this going on. See my comments below his quote... Let The Right One In - Page 4 - Cheap Ass Gamer This is the best post I've seen so far on this issue. I've been around to other forums and nobody...

Thanks Ron. I emailed them. I let them know that the ones who are getting the shaft are the fans who ran out and bought this disc on day one, like myself. As a distributor they know that week one sales are very important, and it's the folks like us who keep them in business. I don't know the...

I saw it and loved it and everyone I talk to seems to love it as well. It's getting really good word-of-mouth, like "Juno" good. However, I'm disappointed it's not getting a wider release - at least none has been scheduled yet. As of Jan 23 there are still only a bunch of major cities listed...

I have two points I'd like to throw out here. Amy Ryan continues to be so impressive on this show. After "Gone Baby Gone" I didn't expect her to come back with a character like Holly. At first I didn't know what to make of the character - would she be straight-laced? or a little dorky like...

Nice link. :emoji_thumbsup: But did we expect any less from Abrams? My wife enjoyed it because it reminded her of Alias (young heroine loses boyfriend in first minutes, takes up crusade against govt. conspiracy group). It reminded me of X-Files, but not nearly as good. It also had the tone...

Just think: Without Don, the first 10 minutes of your movie theater experience will never be the same.

Although Hendrix would certainly be cool, I have to vote for Keith Moon.

The difference is that that Dark Knight has a nice, tidy ending, unlike Empire. If, God forbid, a third movie is never made, it would be okay because there is no cliffhanger. As far as we know, Dent is really dead, and Joker is locked up in Arkham. Life goes on in Gotham as usual. What's really...

One thing that kind of bothers me... What was the deal with Scarecrow? What was he up to? Why was he there? What was the point of his cameo? Why is he hanging out with the "imposters"? It was midnight, I was tired, and it was and early in the movie so I think my brain was still warming up...

As I was watching that scene I thought to myself, they have officially "nuked the fridge". Basically that was a little much for us to suspend our disbelief. But like you said, it was small and I can forgive. I loved the movie anyway. From Urban Dictionary: Nuke the Fridge: "A colloquialism...
