    Babylon 5

    Make sure you google the viewing order before bingeing thru the whole series or you get massive spoilers. B5 basically started the serially narrative season format that all the prestige shows are doing now. Unfortunately you can't just jump into it mid season and catching the wrong episode...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Yep he's actually supposed to mirror the "Old Ben" hermit look Alec Guinness rocked in the first movie.

    I think he was talking about the Helen mirren movie (since chef is at 89%)

    Helen mirren one? It's out in theaters tonight. It's indie so it might be out on torrents tho.

    It's basically "Fifty Shades of Highlander".

    Chef (2014)

    A famous executive chef in LA sleeping with the hostess isn't just plausible, it's a cliche. A young no-name chef in Miami bagging a princess from Cuban musical royalty is the fantasy.

    Chef (2014)

    I'm almost sure that was a body double with the knife skills. Like when he was breaking down the hog early in the movie? That's the perfect example of a pro "making it look easy", like when you watch an Iron Chef break down a salmon into 12 perfect fillets. It looks really easy but it's...

    Chef (2014)

    Loved it. Jon Favreau actually turned up as a guest judge on Top Chef while they were filming this, he actually spent a few months on a food truck with Roy Choi (who basically started the whole food truck scene).

    Lucy with Scarlett Johannson (wholly crap)

    It would have to be a limited resource or it wouldn't make for an entertaining superpower pill. It would just be vitamins if everyone had access to it, like antibiotics or high fructose corn syrup. From the perspective of a 17th century russian serf, everyone alive in the west today is some...

    Yeah... It had been based on the latest manga from the creator of Gundam, but it had these massive ogre-like tanks vs mono bikes instead of mecha and space zionists. The movie was kinda disjointed but did a fair attempt at adapting the manga.

    Doomed megalopolis is an absolute masterpiece... dunno if it had been rec'd earlier but it's definitely one of the top 5 from the 90's. Huge oversight on my part. Watch it subbed but I recall the old dubbed version wasn't a complete travesty. Definitely subbed if you can find it.

    That's likely a function of when you saw the movie. I bet the thursday night shows had folks going nuts when Stan Lee showed up.

    Halt and Catch Fire

    I was kinda kidding when I predicted that they'd start running BBS's for the next season but it looks like that's exactly where theyre going! Granted it was foreshadowed in the first five minutes of the pilot by Cameron herself but it makes sense that would be the most interesting origin story...

    The Leftovers

    I like it for what it is. If you keep in mind that they've said they wanted to build the show around characters more than narrative (which was ultimately what they finally said about Lost, too) then it's a little more enjoyable. As character vignettes, it's a good study. There's a bare string...

    Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

    They'll probably run out of badass indie filmmakers to hand the keys over to before they run out of marvel brands. This year alone saw Gareth Evans and James Gunn helming 150m+ budgets for the first time... and the only James Gunn film to come remotely close to a major release was (the awesome)...

    LOL wtf, all of Otaku No Video is on youtube? It's the ultimate mockumentary about the birth of the 90's anime heyday in Japan...it's mostly animated but it does have filmed documentary segments about otaku (including a couple americans who moved to japan) and even became famous for exposing...

    More importantly Rome had ended on a better place than a third season would've done anyway. A third season was supposedly going to center on the Jewish uprising in Judea (they set this up in s2 with Timon's brother and the jewish rioting). Presumably we'd get also get Livia vs. Atia cat fights...

    There's a ton of new CG anime like Appleseed Alpha and Captain Harlock... none have been particularly good. Anime's in a lost decade now, which is a shame since the 90's were considered the second golden age of japanese cinema pretty much solely because of anime. I blame moe waifu and...

    Lucy with Scarlett Johannson (wholly crap)

    Gotta say, the movie was definitely better if you read those reviews before watching it. I was expecting a battlefield-earth-scale fiasco instead I got an overfunded syfy tv movie. Was actually kinda disappointed it wasn't worse than it was.

    Adaptation screenwriting at it's finest: how do you adapt hundreds of pages involving a marauding Greyjoy badass and his fleet of viking longships? With 30 seconds of dialog... bleh that's the only clip i can find...but they go on to discuss how they can cram all the unsullied and...

    The Leftovers

    Even if they do that, the show will still be based in the same boring upstate new york suburban setting. They couldn't help moving too far from the Mapleton New York setting from the book but it's really hard to give a shit about how affluent first-worlders are failing to process spoiled-ass...

    Mass Effect 4(Untitled)

    I never did have a playthrough where Kaidan ever lived... I know he never became a specter like ashley and he had a ton more canon (comics and novels) than ashley did. Is it worthwhile keeping him alive? Kinda weird thinking theres 2 games' worth of his content left on the table.

    I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected... but I can see how folks can see dueling physicists snipe at each other's competing theories would be boring. I'm actually curious where the show will go considering there was actually a ton of massive egos who couldn't stand each other in the...

    Enjoyed Half A King... probably the perfect example of great YA in that it doesn't insult the Young Adults in question; there's definitely death and sexuality but they're not for spectacle. It's YA in the way that basically all the novels you were forced to read in high school were all...
