Drive (2011)

People seem to love it or hate it.

I love it.

(Doesn't hurt that Heisenberg is in it.)

Hey, I remember this thread. I'm still listening to Red Bar Radio and Wreckless Media Radio. Best comedy podcasts out there. They deserve way more listeners.

Now Playing Podcast has grown into a very handsome young podcast. I've recently caught up on The Pod F Tompcast and the Dead Authors Podcast but everyone knows those.

The relatively new Todd Glass show is very good as well as The Indoor Kids. I've slowed down on Nerdist, Doug Loves Movies and Marc Maron. I only listen based on the guests.

One of the most important podcasts I've found is the Nerdist Writers Panel. It's inspired me to take my mediocre writing to a new level of mediocrity.

The new Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros album 'Here". Didn't blow me away as much as their first, but I didn't expect it to. That was Lightning in a bottle, or Compact Disc. This new one is slower, completely different sounding but always original.

They're just my favorite. I feel wrong critiquing them. Listen to them and feel it. It's inexplicably amazing.

Edit:

Their new music video

Finished the first season of Sherlock. It's pretty fantastic. How 'bout that Moriarty, eh?

I too watch and love Doctor Who. It's simply fun.

Saw the Avengers for a second time. I was one of three people in the theater. Obviously not as much hype. I saw the things that bugged me much clearer.

(Spoilers)

First of all the aliens just shut down after the bomb goes off. May not have been as bad if it didn't remind me so much of It-which-will-not-be-named. It just doesn't make a lot of sense. They're not robots. Maybe its a hive mind type thing, but I don't imagine it would just cause them to drop dead.

Smaller things are hitting them on the head to fix them. It's feels cheap but it's simple. Too much build up for the flying slug things that didn't really turn out to be much of a threat since they had exhaust ports.

The scene in which everyone is arguing aboard the helicarrier works much better now that I know that the staff is messing with their heads. I wish they dropped a line about it to clear up the confusion over whether or not the hulk is in control at the end.

But, All that said its still a fantastic movie. I love what Joss did with the characters. And the set up at the end is... Pchow. (Thats the sound of my brain exploding.)

I'm in the process of reading every Philip K. Dick novel ever published.

So far I've read 'Eye in the Sky' Very interesting concept. I don't want to ruin it. 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' Obviously the most prominent influence of Blade Runner. Not as good as the movie. (Never thought those words would seep from my lips... er fingers. 'Flow my Tears, The Policeman Said' A wild ride. Very entertaining and thought provoking. 'A Scanner Darkly' Phil was surrounded by this subject matter in his life and the emotion is very raw even through the science fiction filter.

I'm currently reading 'The Man in the High Castle' as well as the unrelated 'Game of Thrones'.

Religulous

Because all an intelligent argument needs is comedy and satire, one-sided rants, exaggeration, and oversimplification to convince people who already hold a view that they are right.

Thanks, Bloodnose, for bringing it up :)

You're welcome.

I'm on a Joss Whedon kick. I watched half of firefly, lost internet for a few months, avengers came out, loved it, recognized Joss' name, got AT&T internet (Avoid it at all costs) finished Firefly (and Serenity), loved it, read The first two trades of Astonishing X-men, Best time I've ever had reading a comic book, and am now half way through season 2 of Buffy. Fantastic so far.

Finally got around to seeing the original Planet of the Apes now that it's on netflix. As amazing as I've always heard. I also appreciate 'Rise of the planet of the Apes' that much more now that I get the references.

Also saw Serenity now that I've finally finished Firefly. (I went a few months without internet) It adequately ties up all of the loose ends. I'm sure I didn't experience the same excitement as the people who waited years for it but Firefly is now in my unsorted top five shows of all time.

Watched Religulous. It expresses all of my feelings about religion better and more concise than I'd ever be able to. From now on when I get in religion arguments I'll just refer them to this movie.

Edit: Also Avengers. Awesome.

Edit: Oh yeah, The original Alien as well as Aliens appeared on TV during those dark ages. Alien is now my favorite film of all time.

See signature.

But yeah, I'd written three and a half drafts of the script. recorded several lines with fiends a half a year ago. (Its just now that I realize how much I've changed in that time) I then realized that my close friends (and more so I) are pretty awful at voice acting. That, other's apparent lack of interest in the project, and my own growing interest in film (Which is finally beginning to work out) caused me to postpone the production.

Anyway, to sort of answer your question, If I ever return to the project (which is a strong possibility) I would have to rewrite the script, get a better microphone and find better actors.

Also, watch out for my films! (which seem to keep running into obstacles(Mostly scheduling difficulties (I never thought getting a small number of people in the same room would be this difficult)))

(Lots of parentheses in this one.)

Spaced (Its on instant)

How have I not watched this before? One of new favorite shows of all time.

Now onto something else I'm ashamed i haven't seen: Firefly

(I'm getting all of the short stuff out of the way before I get into the big stuff like Battlestar Galactica and the x- files.)

Edit: Oh yeah I watched the entire season of lily hammer about a week ago. Eh. It was really slow.

Hey, If you like mafia movies without the action, or the English this may be the show for you.

I don't know I thought the premise was great I just wish they got to the point about five episodes earlier.

I'm  extremely okay. I've been preoccupied with writing and filming (for youtube stuff. It's going up soon. I'm very excited.) and neglecting schoolwork.

I blame George Romero for making a movie I didn't like one time... even though he's also made some of my favorite movies of all time and inspired my favorite books and comics, making my life better than it would have been without him.

Eff him.

Something I spotted in the latest Walking Dead episode:

Anything look familiar?

Truth - Alexander

One of my new favorite songs.

(First heard it on Breaking Bad)

CP3S said:

Just started watching Breaking Bad earlier this evening, already on episode 3. I kind of like it.

Stick with it dude. It's probably my favorite show of all time.

TV's Frink said:

Pilot episode of Louie.

Meh.

I was really disappointed given some of the great things I've heard about this show.  I never found his standup that funny, so it was very annoying to have to sit through six or eight minutes of run-of-the-mill standup as part of the show.  As for the rest, there were a few chuckles but otherwise I was pretty bored.

I'm going to give it one or two more episodes, but I'm not encouraged.

Your opinion is wrong. ;(

RedFive said:

And Louie C.K.'s show Louie is honestly the funniest show I've ever seen. 

It's already surpassed Curb Your Entrusiasm, Seinfield, Arrested Development...

Stop.

I've never seen a single episode, and there's no way this could be true for any of those examples.

Although in fairness I prefer Curb Your Enthusiasm to Curb Your Entrusiasm myself.

Based on RedFive's post alone, I gave the pilot of Louie a watch.

And now that I've seen it, I can absolutely without a doubt state that RedFive is crazy insane.

Hey, I love Louie! I wouldn't put it past Seinfeld but It's definitely in my top five comedies.

The Walking Dead Season Premiere

The actors seem to have gotten much better. That was my only problem with season one. That and the awful CGI explosion. I never thought we'd get a GOOD episodic zombie series. It's a dream come true.

Also, Chris Hardwick of the Nerdist Podcast hosting the aftershow "The Talking Dead" Haven't watched it yet but I expect it to be nothing less than awesome.

The only thing that would make this better is a zombie Gustavo Fring.

Star Wars Action News

I can't pick one.

The Original star wars is my favorite album to listen to but, I'll just list all of my favorites.

Binary Sunset, Burning Homestead, Princess Leia's theme is a big one for me, Ben Kenobi's Death, The throne room, The Asteroid Field, Han Solo and the Princess has also always stuck with me, The imperial March obviously, Yoda's Theme, Attacking a Star Destroyer, Lando's Palace, Clash of Lightsabers, The Pit of Carcoon, The entire Battle of Endor, and Victory Celebration (Nyub Nyub)

Wasn't there a thread in the general Star Wars section where people left their thoughts about Clone Wars episodes? I think I made one but no one used it. I'd rather use the more popular one.

I’m sure there’s been a thread like this before. Perhaps that can be the first thread to help me find. But if you can’t find a thread ask for help to find it. Some people are pretty crafty like that.
 

Moderator Edit: Hopefully the split from one Off Topic forum into three sections will help members here locate certain threads a little easier. The various Index Threads pinned at the top of each of the three Off Topic sections may be of some use too.

The ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries thread - which includes advice and information on how to search for a specific thread - may be some assistance too.

And we can all still ask for help in finding a specific thread here too 😃
 

^That.
