Also i'm getting this out of the way - Firefly

PIPE WHAT THE FUCK MAN

are you talking about serenity or just the last episodes of the show? serenity may not have been what some people wanted, but the last episode of firefly is totally rad

I'm not saying Serenity was bad

I'm talking about Wash being dead.

Firefly was great, and now Wash is dead, and that's terrible

i thought we were rating on a badness scale and not a sadness scale

the point is

i need to rewatch firefly

while cuddling with jewel staite

Like a leaf.

:cry:

Ok so it was mediocre to begin with but I just saw the last episode of Life on Mars and what the fuck did I just watch?

UnbreakableVow

It doesn't have to be finished to be counted, right?

Pretty sure Heroes is never bouncing back.

The last track on the Protomen record is a big disappointment

I pretty much stop listening after Sons of Fate

DAMMIT PIPE

It's true, Fari

Due Vendetta isn't a bad song but putting it right after the fucking huge musical robotgasm that is Sons of Fate was a poor move

I always think of the second to last track as the end of the movie, and the last track is what plays when the credits roll

I agree the ending sucked. Not even starting the argument about how overrated the movie is.

They ran out of makeup for Dafoe. What would you have done?

Murdered by pirates is good!

That depends. Dying during a grandiose swordfight with old-school pirates would be bad-ass, but he got shot in the back by shitty modern pirates who stole a couple of watches and an outboard motor.

Glad to see you're still an idiot. :^:

I honestly can't comprehend how anyone could have thought that a good finale

like, I'm legitimately curious

I guess it worked on a thematic level but, in terms of the shows own set bounds of realism it really didn't hold up

Spoiler:

The characters all conclude in a consistent and emotionally compelling manner

It had a fan-fic premise, but the actual content and execution of it was still quality.

Like you said, thematically it jived with the rest of the show.

I'm trying to comprehend why some think it was absolute tripe. I can understand being disappointed, but it's not like the characters all did 180's or highfived to "The Final Countdown"

I've heard a lot of shit talked about Boondock Saints, for various reasons, and I'll admit that it's flawed (though I personally enjoy it)

but I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone say it was great except for the ending

me and others who like it just seem to take the whole thing in stride

basically from a scientific standpoint there is no way that they would be able to plop down there with no technology and survive

also, the fact that there are other humans makes the whole Hera thing entirely useless, which was the primary thing for like the entire fourth season almost

You are welcome, GG

I've seen that movie almost as many times as you have, apparently

I lost my copy of The Princess Bride
that's a terrible ending to the wonderful thing that was my owning a copy of that movie

Thats because everyone falls in one of two groups its
a. the greatest movie ever
b. overrated

the ending thing is just my thought because they turned a weird british style crime comedy (like lock stock or something) and ruined it by shoving some social bullshit down the audiences throat. Thats just my thought.

Mission Hill was killed off when only 6 episodes were aired on WB. Only 13 were ever finished and they were on Adult Swim and such for a while. Now on DvD...


The show was way ahead of its time with the first animated gay male kiss in the pilot.

Huh? Karl kissed Homer in The Simpsons' 15th episode, Simpson and Delilah, back in 1990. Unless you mean a kiss between two gay characters. If you just meant two animated dudes kissing, not even close.

what

the whole movie is social bullshit

and easily ignored because that's not what makes it awesome

ugh you people

Dichotomy

once again Joon arrives with terrifyingly precise Simpsons knowledge
how does he obtain his dark secrets?

Olivaw

Who is this fuck who knows that much about the Simp-

Oh hey it's Joon

How's it goin'

Spoiler:

It was made fairly clear that Hera became mitochondrial Eve and therefore mother of the entire human race as we know it.

Also I don't think they really clarified whether or not they just hucked all of their technology into the sun, or how many supplies they kept around.

When it comes down to it, I'm much more satisfied that we got to spend time with each of the characters as they adjusted and met their fates rather than spending a lot of time detailing specifics about the survival of the human race.

I mean, it's not like we don't know they survive

Hey Doodman

I'm gonna say this here because we're talking about movies

but your title is a misquote and it's been buggin me for as long as I've seen you around.

where do you get that ay from?

Doodmann

maybe I'm spelling it more phonetically? I always heard it as 4 syllables

edit* OH GOD MY WHOLE EXISTENCE HAS BEEN A LIE

Olivaw

It's clearly not though

It's just "yippie kai yay, motherfucker"

The Geebs That Is A Pony

the boondock saints was dogshit in pretty much every conceivable way

Ok, late as hell, but this. This right here.

I've exposed more people than I can count to The Protomen, and everyone says the same thing about Due Vendetta.

I've always treated that song as pretty much a bonus track. It's obvious it doesn't quite fit in with the whole rock-opera story line they had going on, but goddamn if that song isn't entertaining as hell.

Side note, second album apparently in the works? Maybe? God I hope so.

what a fag

Olivaw

I enjoyed the Boondock Saints the first time I watched it

On subsequent viewings, the flaws were increasingly apparent

And then I saw that documentary about the guy who made it and how he was a complete cock to everyone and squandered all the success he was handed and basically whizzed it all right down his leg

So now I don't really like the movie

The Geebs That Is A Pony

look at willem dafoe overacting to hell, how delightful

and those lovable scamps and their ultraviolence and they don't even give a shit! hardcore

Dubh

William DaFoe made me think "What the hell" every time he went on screen.

Doodmann

I've only seen it twice and one time I was drunk! So I still think it was enjoyable.

The Geebs That Is A Pony

that guy has tourretes and he's cussin and fuckin' up phrases hilarious

Lucky Cynic

I'm going out and predict something that is going to end up terribly.
