Ben X Posted October 29, 2009 Whoa, that came out? I thought it was indefinitely limbofied. No, thanks to the (spoiler) mystical and nebulous nature of Heath Ledger's character, Gilliam was able to recast him for the necessary scenes with Jonny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. According to Gilliam, it turned out to make the film even richer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erwin_Br Posted October 31, 2009 I just saw Drag Me To Hell. It was predictable, and at times plain absurd, but it was also funny, thrilling, and scary. Perfect film for a Halloween evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted November 1, 2009 Saw American Werewolf in London for the first time last night at a digitally projected screening... Awesome movie! (If a little dated and clunky.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toblix Posted November 2, 2009 In case you're considering watching all nine seasons of The X-Files, plus the two movies, my pro tip is: don't. Or, at least, only watch the good ones. For example, anything with Darin Morgan's name anywhere near it. The biggest plus with this whole pointless thing is that I've been queuing up all the TV episodes from this fall, so I should have quality TV to last me till Christmas. Oh, and bonus question for Americans (or anyone who knows): what's the deal with Doggett's awesome tone of voice? Sometimes he did this thing where his tone went down right at the end of questions, and it was awesome. Also, Gillian Anderson's laughter is awesome. I think she laughed twice (maybe thrice) during the whole show, and it saved whatever episode it was in. Also, it's awesome when they use the same actor for various different minor parts in the show because it's an unknown guy who nobody'll recognize, only it's Locke from Lost.

n0wak Posted November 2, 2009 Also, it's awesome when they use the same actor for various different minor parts in the show because it's an unknown guy who nobody'll recognize, only it's Locke from Lost. Are you sure they were unrelated characters? He had a minor role in the "end of the world" conspiracy episodes in the show, from what I remember. He was also a major character, if I also remember correctly (it's been a while), on Millennium. So, clearly, he was a favourite of Chris Carter and not exactly unknown back then. Funny enough, I downloaded season 1 of X-Files a while ago because of nostalgic and/or bored reasons. Haven't gotten around to it yet though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted November 2, 2009 I keep meaning to watch the final season of X-Files, and somehow have avoided spoilers for it all these years I will kill any of you who tricks me into ending this run now I used to love it and watched it from the very first pilot onwards, for many seasons; but eventually I got bored even before the Moulder-less series.

miffy495 Posted November 3, 2009 I actually tried to do this last summer, but life intervened about halfway through season 4. I kinda want to finish now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted November 3, 2009 vEM5B4P8PIg Bored to Death, a new show on HBO starring Jason Schwartzman of Rushmore fame and Zach Galifianakis of the Hangover. And Ted Danson too! I can't wait to see this. Been watching this. It is good. Also from HBO and worth watching is the animated series The Life and Times of Tim. It's sort of like Curb Your Enthusiasm but more absurd and a lot easier to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted November 3, 2009 I keep meaning to watch the final season of X-Files, and somehow have avoided spoilers for it all these years I will kill any of you who tricks me into ending this run now Spoiler: the ending is shit. Of what I've seen, season six of the X-files has the highest density of episodes I like. I'm mainly interested in the standalone episodes. I find the whole conspiracy thing a bit tiresome and inevitably unfulfilling. I prefer it when they take an idea and run with it for a while, without being too restricted by the overarching lore nonsense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted November 3, 2009 Spoiler: the ending is shit. Was that the episode with Mulder and Scully basically running off together, and something to do with faith and a crucifix and "OMG maybe things will be okay" at the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roderick Posted November 4, 2009 I've arrived in Los Angeles for my 3 month Hollywood internship. Yesterday I visited the splendiferous Grove shopping center and it was literally plastered all over with ads for Sherlock Holmes. I so want to see it! But it doesn't arrive until Christmas. Tagline? Holmes for the Holiday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted November 4, 2009 I watched the "Epitaph 1" bonus episode of Dollhouse, and now I've moved onto season 2. Epitaph 1 was nice, finally seeing what the "ultimate purpose" of Dollhouse was and its ramifications cough StephenKing'sCell cough. Given season 2 I now wonder if this is cannon or just a 'possible' future. Season 2 is off off to a good start, maintaining the quality of the end of season 1. And what the hell if the entire cast of BSG aren't parading through at at least one per episode. Perfectly fine by me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJW Posted November 6, 2009 Couldn't it be both? On a different note; what's with all my favourite American TV series being put on pause over November? Is this a Thanksgiving thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syntheticgerbil Posted November 6, 2009 On a different note; what's with all my favourite American TV series being put on pause over November? Is this a Thanksgiving thing? Most definitely. It's Thanksgiving week specials time, which really means rerunned movies and maybe some original content. I guess it's figured no one will be watching either way much...

James Posted November 7, 2009 Was that the episode with Mulder and Scully basically running off together, and something to do with faith and a crucifix and "OMG maybe things will be okay" at the end? All I remember is Mulder being on trial in what looked like a bunker, and it all being wholly unsatisfying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nevsky Posted November 7, 2009 I remember seeing a late episode in isolation, and being completely lost. I'd been an X-Files fanatic for the first handful of seasons, then dropped off, just to watch an episode where CSM gets exploded by a missile . Actually, that seems to be the finale of the final season, so no wonder I was confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, that seems to be the finale of the final season, so no wonder I was confused. I was in the same boat. I watched the show all the time through the first few seasons but basically stopped around when they left Vancouver (because Duchovny wanted to be closer to Tea Leoni or something) a bit before Mulder left the show entirely. I watched a couple episodes after that, but they were kinda bad, and I came back for the end only to be lost in the mythos. The whole Anasazi thing? No idea. It was weird. Should have ended at five seasons. That seems to be the magic number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roderick Posted November 9, 2009 I am 80% sure that I think Jim Carrey's Christmas Carol won't be any good, most notably because it uses that horrible, horrible misuse of 3D CG that was used in The Polar Express and Beowulf, but then there's 20% of me that has seen some tv ads and thinks, hmmm, it might be worthwhile. But, come on. After the Muppets Christmas Carol and Scrooged, can you really have a faithful, mom-and-pap, bread and butter Carol again? Won't that be horrible unnecessary?

Won't that be horrible unnecessary? Actually I was thinking the opposite - it looks very cartoonified and jazzed up. I was wondering if anyone will ever again play A Christmas Carol completely straight, the Charles Dickens way, with Scrooge as a normal looking person instead of a grotesque.
