I tried checking out Fringe the other night... Meh.
Anything else decent on? The only thing I watch regularly are Celtics games and House MD.

Dexter FTMFW. The premis for this show is awesome. Not your average regurgitated plot line by any means.....

The past few nights is the only time I've been home in a while... I've just watched DVDs... or nick @ nite... george lopez, family matters, tool time...

Speaking of which... anybody have any movie recommendations?

Fight Club, Pulp Fiction have been my favorite movies for a while... just to give a hint of the type of stuff I like.

I bought "Reservoir Dogs" tonight... never seen it, looks okay. Hitmen + Quentin Tarantino... has to be somewhat interesting.

Resevoir Dogs is freakin' AWESOME! Good choice.

Speaking of which... anybody have any movie recommendations?


^A Clockwork Orange


the only TV show I've ever watched with any regularity is my beloved
http://i34.tinypic.com/2u6mixj.jpg
=D

and From G's to Gents.. that was some quality TV here recently

I've mainly been watching a lot of movies to wind down.. usually older stuff I hadn't seen - Dr. Strangelove, Dr. Zhivago, 2001, Hitchcock stuff

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles, Prison Break, Raising the Bar, Law and Order. New season of South Park starts in a week or two. Cops has the new season going on on Saturdays, MLB Playoffs (fuck Boston btw), NFL, Jeopardy. Also, you got to get this network called Sleuth. It's got all sorts of old 80s show reruns on it such as: Knightrider, Miami Vice, The A-Team, Matlock, et al.

Also, just pick up a book. I personally recommend the book A Civil Action by Jonathan Harr myself. I'm also a fan of Alexander Pushkin, but something tells me that you wouldn't enjoy his work.

Learn to play chess. Tofu doesn't play me anymore due to high levels of butthurt. :D

I'll play you.

The only show i may watch is BoonDocks. But i don't watch TV that much.

Sign up for redhotpawn.com and send an invite to this same name.

True Blood on HBO.

Check out Californication. Also, new season of The Simpsons and Family guy has just started ;)

I'm on yahoo, and I'm not signing up on another site...I maintain a consistent 1650 rating

btw, I like speed chess (5 min or less per game) and as far as I know, yahoo is the only site that lets you do that...screw the one day per move stuff

Speed chess is stupid.

Learn to play chess. Tofu doesn't play me anymore due to high levels of butthurt. :D

What? I tore you apart. I got bored with chess though, Go is far superior :P

Texas Hold'em poker rules all.

likely because you suck at it

It's because unless you are a prodigy, which I doubt you or I are, you make a shit load of mistakes, but I'll gladly play you to prove that point. Speed chess is great if your name is Kasparov and you can actually analyze moves and ramifications in that short of a time period. But let me guess; you never make mistakes in speed chess right? A 1650 clearly shows that. :bigthumb:

What the fuck does chess have to do with what people are watching?

I think the better question to ask would be, "What the fuck does arguing in great detail about chess have to with what people are watching?"

I blame Mark. Mark watches Rock of Love on VH1. He has a man crush on Bret Michaels.

When I get the urge to watch TV, I drop in one of my Firefly disks.

People actually watch TV for entertainment??

The only 'show' i really like right now is Weeds, and that's becasue i have a crush on mary louise parker. Mmm. milfy goodness.

http://media.ebaumsworld.com/picture/sparks158/JudgeJudy-1.png

Best show ever imo.

Speed chess is stupid.

+1. Doesn't give time for proper strategy.
I'm on queenalice.com I'm playing SLOASFK right now.

californication, entourage, dexter, and always sunny in Philadelphia.

Intervention.

Still don't have cable so I've been watching lot's of DVD's.

Flight of the conchords, peep show and a few other TV shows.

Last night watched bad santa and part of lord of war.....

As of last nite Im watching Star Wars: Clone Wars on Cartoon Network, its a great show.

Watch "August Underground Mordum".

Or "Naked Blood".

So Reservoir Dogs was alright... I figured out the rat early into the movie though.

I like movies that make me think for days after seeing them, any suggestions?

P.S.... alf is getting ready to come on WGN after america's funniest home videos. That's quality tv.

You ever watch Four Rooms?

This movie features the collaborative directorial efforts of four new filmmakers, each of whom directs a segment of this comedy. It's New Year's Eve at the Mon Signor Hotel, a former grand old Hollywood hotel, now fallen upon hard times. Often using physical comedy and sight gags, this movie chronicles the slapstick misadventures of Ted, the Bellhop. He's on his first night on the job, when he's asked to help out a coven of witches in the Honeymoon Suite. Things only get worse when he delivers ice to the wrong room and ends up in a domestic argument at a really bad time. Next, he foolishly agrees to watch a gangster's kids for him while he's away. Finally, he finishes off the night refereeing a ghastly wager.

lol nah, but sounds interesting... how old is it/hard to find??


Has anyone seen requiem for a dream? I saw that at the store the other day, on the same dvd as movie called "pi" (the math symbol)... looked decent, but IIRC the movie I was thinking about was some stupid shit with cuba gooding jr that was long and really boring.

1995 is when it was released, should have it in any movie store or on The Pirate Bay at least.


Requiem is alright, I wasnt a big fan but it got good reviews.

Requiem is good (and interesting), but more depressing than it is thought-provoking.. Clockwork Orange and Donnie Darko are a couple I've seen recently that you could sit around and think about for a while

2001 is good if you wanna think for a while then get really pissed off at the stupid fucking ending

Stanley Kubrick did A Clockwork Orange right? I loved The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket was a unique movie... I really hate war movies, but it's decent, and the private pile shit is just hilarious.

I'll check out both.



I've seriously watched Fight Club 7 times in the past 3 days.

Donnie Darko


Bought the collectors edition, strange movie.


Hey did anyone hear they are doing another Super Troopers movie? Staged in the 70's all the guys are coming back to play the dads of the original characters.

Ohh watch Apocalypse Now Redux, good stuff.

ya, I liked it though.. because it made sense but I was still like wait, what

There must be lots of things you like then.

Nope... hadn't heard that... but, FNF4 is getting most of the original cast back... flame all you want, but I'm looking forward to it.

Really? Im stoked for this, Super Troopers is one of my favorite movies of all time.

Elaborate captain
if you seriously haven't seen either of those yet, do.

If you have, then pathetic attempt at trolling, I expect more from you.

Some others that make you think:

The Good Shepherd
The Red Violin
Cinema Paradiso
Amelie (only to say WTF?!)
Memento


eh, thats the ones off the top of my head. I'll ask my girlfriend tomorrow what the movie was that we watched this summer that impressed us both.

I think they are gonna release The Babymaker first, then do ST2. They didnt even have a script for it from what I read but Fox wants to do it anyway.

Well, i mean.. c'mon. Do they NEED a script?

Well, i mean.. c'mon. Do they NEED a script?

After watching Club Dread Id say yes. :)

If you want a recent movie that will make you think for a few days, check out "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

If you want a recent movie that will make you think for a few days, check out "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."Eh, that was a good movie, but didn't cause me to think for a few days. I guess probably because it was one of the most popular sci-fi novel themes a few years back.

Eh, that was a good movie, but didn't cause me to think for a few days. I guess probably because it was one of the most popular sci-fi novel themes a few years back.

So you didn't think after seeing it "If this technology were real, would I do it"? I mean if you didn't think that at all...wtf! It's funny because the last 2 movies that really made me stop and 'think' had Jim Carrey in them; The aforementioned and "The Truman Show."

It's not a thought like 2001 Space Odyssey where I wonder "What is the meaning of life"? or something philosophical, but I think to myself what I would do should I have been in a similar predicament; and then I wonder to myself 'What is to say I AM NOT in a similar predicament'? Call me crazy, but those are the story lines that intrigue me.

So Zero....If you liked Fight Club so much then you might enjoy Snatch. Just about anything from Guy Ritchie is good as far as I'm concerned. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels is another good Guy Ritchie film. Layer Cake is also good movie that reminds me of that GR style.

Snatch: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0208092/
Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120735/
Layer Cake: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0375912/

I'll check 'em out...


and fight club's awesomeness, has nothing to do with fighting being "cool."

I know. That's not really what these movies are about though. Well, Snatch is kind of, but it's the main story line that I liked about it. I also like the way these movies are put together.

Snatch only has the boxing as a backdrop to the whole story, IMO.

Also, again IMO; Lock, Stock isn't nearly as good as Snatch.

I agree that Snatch was better for sure.

So I just saw something odd... I'm watching Home Improvement, and on this episode there was 2 veryyyyy small parts where 2 guys from the audience of Tool Time got on stage.

I notice that one is Dave Chappelle, but he looks really young. Then I'm looking at the other guy and think "isn't that the guy that was in half baked with him?" I IMDB'd it, and oddly enough, 3 years before they did half baked together, when they were nobodies, they did small parts together.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0603537/

See "rest of cast listed alphabetically"

I just found that pretty odd.

i think i've watched maybe 8hr of tv in the last month, no lie. just work and read. should pick up the book "Generation Kill" from what I hear there is a mini-series on hbo, atleast thats what the sticker on the book says.

Generation Kill (the HBO series) is chock full of Jewish/Liberal goodness.





When I say goodness I mean shit.

If you wanna watch a good miniseries check out House of Saddam. It can be downloaded from any torrent site and is a pretty cool insight to what was going on in Iraq during the Hussein regime. Good stuff.

There ya go, made it easy for ya.

Me and the wife are halfway through "Shogun"

as far as TV shows go i am loving the girls of the playboy mansion (the girls next door for you guys and we are a few seasons behind :() and 2 and 1/2 men

oh and not sure if you have heard of him but Louis Theroux he does awesome docos about anything and every thing

House. We just started watching this a couple months ago, and have every damn re-run (that we haven't seen) on the DVR. Though, I think we're getting a bit burned out on it. When you wants 1 or 2 episodes each day, they really start looking the same (though I'm sure that would happen for most shows if I watched them that often).

Ghost Hunters, Grant and Jason are great.

Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares on BBC America. The business student side of me loves this show, it's really fascinating to watch how a small business can succeed or fail, and how stubborn people can be to a few simple changes that could turn their business around.

My wife loves "How Clean is Your House?" on BBC America, but I hate her watching it, because she tries to compare our house to the ones on the show. I'll say something like, "holy crap, that kitchen is disgusting!" and she'll respond with "well, it's not that much worse than ours" which just pisses me off because I might have missed one day doing dishes, and she thinks it's the same as having rat shit laying around.

I don't like watching shows with lots of ongoing story line, because I can't keep up with them. I hate missing one episode, and being totally out of the loop.

Raising the Bar's season finale tonight. :(

Sarah Connor Chronicles and Prison Break are back on! :)

For the past few nights I became a baby sitters of my 3 kids, because my wife was having an overnight seminar. I've realized how important to have a mother to my kids. They were crying and graving for milk. I can not do some stuff at the same time. But, after all I still have time working on my computer.


The past few nights is the only time I've been home in a
while... I've just watched DVDs... or nick @ nite... george lopez, family matters, tool time...
