QUOTE(Elisabeth Hollow @ Apr 12 2013, 06:42 PM)  Sherlock with my friend. First episode and wow.
Is this the "modernized" UK version? If so- I second the "wow". I love the opening when he hacks all the cell phones during the police briefing. "WRONG!" We just finished the final episode of "Homicide: Life on the Street". All that is left is the movie.... It is so interesting to look back and remember how DIFFERENT the show was for its time- a "police show" that was about the CHARACTERS instead of car chases and shootouts.

My friend stayed the night and begged me to watch it with her, so I did this morning. When I pay attention, it's funny and interesting. I don't like watching movies and show too much, though.

QUOTE(Colonel Mustard @ Apr 19 2013, 08:51 PM)  Red vs Blue on Youtube. Ye gods, I forgot how insanely moreish that series is; "Oh, I can watch just one more episode, it's only five minutes long. Yeah, I can watch just one more. One after this one'll be the last, and then I'll go to sleep.'
The next thing you know, it's 4am...
I had the same experience with Red vs Blue.

Still watching B5. Damn, this show is good.
"I searched for days, going from one system to another. Then, on dark deserted worlds, where there should be no life, where no living thing has walked in over a thousand years, something is moving, gathering its forces, quietly, quietly...hoping to go unnoticed. We must warn the others, Na'toth. After a thousand years, the darkness has come again."

Watching Vikings. I love this show. History Channel made a smart move here. The fact that they found ways to make us sympathize with a tribe of men and women who rape, murder and pillage for a living is some good and unexpected stuff. I gotta say I like the character of Rollo and his tattoos are badass. This post has been edited by Darkness Eternal: Apr 20 2013, 01:27 AM

Rewatching the new Man of Steel trailer over and over.
Ye gods and little fishes, this looks like something. A clean break with the Donner-verse and the only thing I can think is "This is the fear the Ancient Greeks felt when revering Zeus and Heracles."

QUOTE(McBadgere @ Apr 21 2013, 07:10 PM)  In the second edition of the "Really Quite* Extremely Long Film" Sundays, we watched the collectors extended edition version of Avatar...
Having watched it once and been thoroughly underwhelmed, when the wife announced that that would be our sunday afternoon done, I was somewhat apprehensive...
But...
It seems to have been a case of second time's the charmer really...I thoroughly enjoyed it!...Much better this time...
Still don't think it was worth a tenth of the hype that came out around the time...And the idea that people were ringing therapists because they were feeling suicidal at the fact that they couldn't live on Pandora...Ayyy...But no, I really enjoyed it...
I remember Avatar. Not too bad a film, very pretty, but probably not worth the hype around it; much of it was, if I remember correctly, to do with it being the first major film to use stereoscopic 3D. Anyway, it's technically not watching I'm watching now, but yesterday was a day of sublime movie-based badassery. Started off with the absolutely awesome, if insanely violent, short film Bad Motherf***er (warning: contains an awful lot of blood and gore and a very sweary soundtrack), then later on I re-watched the Karl Urban Dredd film (not as good in 2D on a television, but still awesome) and then saw a Fistful of Dollars. Oh Clint, you so badass and cunning...

Game of Thrones was pretty good! For three episodes one of the main characters plans on buying a slave army from this wealthy merchant and throughout those episodes he always calls her vulgar names thinking she doesn't understand them  Joke was on him. Me and my family were laughing so much when it was revealed that she did speak his language. Best scene of the entire season so far. Never liked a female character in a live action series so much. If you like dragons, medieval-style politics, fantasy, action . . .I recommend this show! This post has been edited by Darkness Eternal: Apr 23 2013, 01:13 AM
