Television and Movie Discussion thread

This is the thread where we can share about anything related to movies and TV.

I am a huge movie buff. I am a huge fan of Martin Scorcese, Quentin Tarantino and Cristopher Nolan films.

On TV How I Met Your Mother, Burn Notice and Californication are my favorite shows. Two and a half Men also used to be my favorite but with recent news on production house deciding to kick Charlie Sheen out over his messand deciding to do a reboot of the show, I am not so keen on watching it further. I dunno if show will be same without him. Still there are better shows out there :P

So share your tastes in movie and TV shows, tell us what you watched recently etc.

....Oh and I forgot I got DVD's for Desperado and Once Upon a Time In Mexico so I am watching that this weekend :D 

Television and movie discussion- In a my little pony union, I can see where this is going: My little pony friendship is magic everywhere.  :lol:

Other than that, the new torchwood was Ok, the american actors weren't as bad as I thought they would be, and it clearly had a higher budget so I think I will continue watching the series.

Im watching torchwood on iplayer now [when i say watching i mean waiting for it to load :evil:]noxboxlive

I don't watch much TV, but I am a big movie buff :lol:

I've got an ever growing collection of DVD's and Blu-rays. I'm buying more blu-rays than DVD's these days.

Action, Thriller, Suspense, Horror etc.

Not much of a movie person, but cartoons are basically my life~

Other then the obvious My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, I am a huge fan of things like Adventure Time, Regular Show, the Amazing World of Gumball, Dan Vs, family Guy, Bobs Burgers, Simpsoms, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Phineas and Ferb, and much more. Them and action shows like Young ustice, Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Batman, Iron Man, G.I. Joe Renegades, Transformers Prime. Heck, I'm just an animation fan in general xD

Also a huge fan of Scrubs, The Big Bang Theory, The Daily Show, and the Colbert Report~

How old are you?

Well, I don't like to disclose too much personal information online, but I will say I'm old enough to regrow a full beard after a complete shave in only two days :P

While I'm posting, I am fan of old school sci-fi movies like the original Star Wars Trilogy, Back to the Future, The original Star Trek mvoies( along with being a big fan of the show).

Some other faves of mine would be Fight Club and Dark Knight~

I'm not much of a TV person sadly, other then MLP and Phineas and Ferb, but occasionally I'll go on the History Channel. :P

Also not a big movie person, but I've been watching more then usual lately, so we'll see how that goes.

And wow you watch a lot of stuff ninja, what would you say are the best cartoons? :P 

Anyone else looking forward to peter jackson's "The Hobbit"? Hopefully it will be as good as teh book.

I don't think I've watched any of the shows there, except FiM obviously :/

I don't really watch much tv, but my favorites are Firefly, Game of Thrones, Band of Brothers and the first season of Heroes. I'm more into action and drama series, all I really like in terms of comedy is King of the Hill, Futurama, and the funny bits in Firefly (and Friendship is Magic, of course).

I absolutely LOVE movies, though. My favorite directors are Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, and Akira Kurosawa. My favorite movies of all time include 2001: A Space Odyssey, Aguirre: The Wrath of God, Rashomon, Let the Right One In, and Inglourious Basterds. My favorite comedy of all time is either Airplane! or I Love You, Man.

So, yeah, Friendship is Magic is a bit out of place for me :P

I just watched the new Thundercats show and it was totally awesome!JensonHurasha

[QUOTE="JensonHurasha"]I just watched the new Thundercats show and it was totally awesome!Sandulf29

Its a reboot of the series done by Studio 4C.

Movie that's being released on the 19th of August in the states - Fright Night (remake).

I am TOTALLY going to watch this. Not because Colin Farrel plays a vampire, or because it's going to be a hilarious gory film, but also because David Tennant is finally going back on the big screen - something he sadly didn't get much screentime on since his last film (Harry Potter 4)

Seriously, take a look at some of the Fright Night clips with David Tennant.

So awesome!

There aren't many movies I'm really looking forward to... I need to get doing a search.

I'm NOT looking forward to the US remake of Death Note... ANGER!

Woah, wait, what?  Oh, this can't end well! 

I never got around to watching the Japanese live action movies.  If you have, how are they in your opinion?

And related to Thundercats (2011 series): I really enjoyed the hour-long premiere, and so far the two last episodes have been good, but I felt the pacing was a little off.  The events seem to go by too quickly.  But aside from that, the animation is awesome and I've liked the show overall. 

Wait wait there's a US remake of Death Note!?

*insert Spike's nooooooooooooooooooooooo here* 

I haven't read death note but the live action made me wtf. I liked the concept, but the characters seemed a little rediculous.Overlord93

Damn it! I wrote out quite a big article and my internet crashed and removed it all...

Anyway, long story short. I'm a huge Death Note fan, you only have to see the amount of merchandise I own to see that. However, I did enjoy the Japanese live-action movies, even though there were a few things I could really pick at, such as the major plots being completely avoided.

All in all, there are many reasons why the U.S version will not work. Death Note was set in Japan for a reason, and whoever thought a U.S remake was a good idea is gonna have to do a LOT of explaining, plot avoiding and disappointed hardcore fans.

I don't trust North America to make adaptations of great anime, ever since I saw what become of Blood: The Last Vampire.

Thanks for the reply on the Japanese adaptations.  I'll check them out sometime.

Martin Scorcese newest flick may be coming this year. Nothing less expected from martin Scorcese. Plus The Dark Knight Rises is also coming. Never was into anime, so not looking forward to Death Note.
