What a weird system to implement here, and what kind of petty asshole goes into someone's profile to give them a bad rating

This doesn't really seem like the type of forum that needs or should have user ratings (especially given how civil this place generally is compared to say... reddit) but eh, whatever, I guess.

I happen to be enjoying my rating quite a bit.

Thanks guys.

niceee

Congrats!

i switched to mac, too, because i couldn't respect a windows MACHINE! i would max out the cpu and burn up the hard drive mixing up. and no background virus programs, don't go too far from thinking you need something you don't need windows ppl!

I'm one of the lucky ones. Never had a virus and very rarely have had a problem with a Windows machine in all of my years using them. Any issue I've ever had I've been able to solve by googling the problem and running a fix. Windows is intuitive to me and I simply could not understand the Mac OS. Old dog, new tricks, I guess. I did like the form factor of the Macbook Pro, but it was pretty heavy. Lots of good lightweight Windows options out now and more on their way shortly.

Hmmm, this thing is light as air.

Couldn't get through VICE. Wanted to love it, loved the era and details, was bored to tears by the events/plot...

Exactly

I loved it.

The plot isn't supposed to make sense. You try following the leads for about fifteen minutes then just give up and go with it. It places you right in JP's head.

I died laughing when he wrote the helpful clue "something Spanish" in his pad.

PTA's movies always reveal more on further viewings.

With the exception of Patrelli, the acting was unbearable.

why are these people together in that ambulance? who WOULDN'T RACE HOME???

Such an unfocused mess

I was surprised to see it on Netflix, if that is indeed the same doc, as it just came out in theaters recently, right? Anyway, it's all about the Morton Downey, Jr. docu, guys, that's the shizzle. :-0

Yeah, same salinger on netflix that was in theaters, that ending with titles of new books seemed so convoluted it torpedoed what would have been a so so film.

Watched it on Netflix last night and am feeling pretty meh. While the information was excellent, the delivery was oh so breathy and over the top. Felt like it was a long episode of TMZ actually. Started playing suduko midway through, just listening instead of watching, and I think that actually improved the film.

Thanks everyone! Good luck to all.

Looks like they just extended to June 15. Got my hat in the ring back in April. Best o'luck fellow Barton Finkers!

Chatted with TB guys this morning. Guess the site crashed Sunday and today on and off and a bunch of people couldn't enter, so once they got the site back up, they kept pilots there and features.

Best of luck!

Good luck, Jiblings!

Contemplating. Good luck to all who have joined the fray. I may join you, hence the first word.

Brilliant story craft!

Five episodes left? Anyone know for sure?

The confession video was a huge mind fuck. Walt has Hank in such a shitty position, that he's screwed no matter what he does.

There was one shot which looked 2D, and that was the first shot of Rivendell, when they were all looking at it from a distance. It looked exactly like they were standing in front of a 2D painted backdrop. Not sure why that one shot was so bad.

Yes, I've been stranded on the dark side since the 60's. I haven't seen any other 3D movies, because A) I'm not really into blockbuster explosion film bullshit and It's a gimmick I think has been added to most films as an after thought. I wanted to experience the film as Peter Jackson intended, and it looked rubbish from beginning to end. The so called advance was a waste of time. I know I'm not the only one who saw the play x2 motion during the film. I've...

run out of space

It's slow all right. I described it to a friend and mentioned how it was a little very closely inspired by other zombie ventures (e.g. the hospital opening of 28DLater), and he asked me what made it unique.

Well, nothing.

But I still kinda like it. Slow-moving, for sure. But some good character stuff.

HUGE fan of the comic series. TV series started great, got REALLY slow for a few episodes, and started picking up steam again the last few eps, going into Sundays finale. Also, I was very pleased to see the finale is kicking off an arc not previously in the comic series, so it's fresh for everyone!

Hate this show. I'm with you jib! Won't be watching Season Two.

I just think it's interesting that the feature is here and no one uses it

Too busy listening to Daft Punk

Dustin, I wish more people shared your thought process before they started blogs

I just sent ina request also!

I just approved you both!

thanks!!! I'll send an intro email to the group this weekend! I can't wait to interact with you guys! But, question: how will the interactions go? are we just emailing each other back and forth? or chatting here at TB? let me know because i'll be at work during the day tomorrow and ill find *ANY* reason to NOT WORK! LOLOL!

Members get $25 off, but it is still incredibly unaffordable now.

Ah, I see it now Charlie. Someone spelled ladder wrong

They sure did!

Books were amazing. So far I'm not disappointed!

It's great - I think they sexed it up big time to appease the True Blood, Fantasy, Fan Boy loving audience it's meant for. The women I spoke to who watched it said it did objectify women - but hey, it's the dark/middle ages right? ;-p

ehn. a mile wide, an inch deep. maybe i was spoiled by DEADWOOD, ROME, and the SOPRANOS or maybe it just needs time (like those shows did).

I believe a lot of the exteriors are shot in snoqualmie Washington

Audrey Horne... best dressed woman on TV.... ever.

Twin Peaks is coming back? Oh my god...that would be so exciting...

Me neither. I really hated Royal Tenebaums when I watched it all those years ago. I simply do understand the acclaim it got. But I have to admit, I was a really big fan The Fantastic Mr. Fox and though he adapted it impressively.

With the exception of Steve Zisou and Darjeeling, I'm a huge fan. I just saw Moonrise last night and I loved it. Having said that I can understand how someone could easily tire of his style. If it doesn't work for you from the start, it ain't gonna get any better.

I'm a huge WA fan and I have to admit I thought the pacing was particularly, almost perversely glacial. But it has wonderful moments and comes together in the end, I think.

HOLY $#!T IT'S CYBER HATER! YOU JUST WON JIBS.

Get some, go large! Hope this works for you!

Thanks guys, good luck to everyone that submitted.

Don't mind giving it a read, man. PM me.

Thanks guys

Happy to give it a look too.

I always thought they should make a spoof movie called TWIST ENDING. Where like SCARY MOVIE, it incorporates other movies' plots and makes fun of them. They could have the "he's a ghost" from SIXTH SENSE, "he's imaginary" from FIGHT CLUB, "he's a she" from THE CRYING GAME, etc. And the ending is the whole movie is a dream or something.

That's "she's a he" from CRYING GAME.

Sounds like something Kim Jong Dick would like. Better put the Wayans Brothers on it.

I read the script and didn't care for it. BUT it's bound to be visually interesting.

it's deffff visually ggod. CAA peeps said so

It was pretty amazing actually. made my wife cry like a baby, but then again she was a dance instructor, so has an attachment to the story. I thought it built up really well, and had a great unsentimental ending. Reminded me of Rupulsion in many ways.

I see what you mean, but actually disagree. Felt like the end of Act 2. Final act; Walt (who has a massive ego and is pretty ruthless) completes his transformation into Heisenberg, Hank catches him. Hank was was never after Gus, Hank wants Heisenberg.

Walt can't walk away without paying the consequences of his actions.

Agreed with Elliot79. There's still much more to be wrapped up and there's no way the series will end with Walt getting away scot-free for everything he's done.

Couldn'tmake it past pg65. Didn't care about characters. Young Joe actually looking to bring in his older self to save himself now was dumb. The scarring, as mentioned above, was good. As well as the limb thing. But cud blu and all that stuff got annoying

yeah. I didn't care about the characters either. I think he is just going for something darker so he isn't really concerned about that but who knows.

I figured it was the typical action film, character that is not very deep. I ended up rooting for old Joe instead of young Joe.

unless you're writing their idea for them for free

I saw this earlier this week and thought the same thing in how it compares to this industry. It's not exactly the same but there are similarities. Like creating a story all on your own then having to sell all it's rights if you want to get a movie made.

yeah, personally i wouldn't do that, jibs. now if i'm a whiz and i can bang it out in four days, it wouldn't phase me though.

didn't like it

Is dead in the water. Ratings non-existent unfortunately.

Curses!
