BBC's Sherlock continues to amaze. Anyone else watching?

There are people telling me daily that algorithms will one day rule our lives. I can tell you for certain that THOSE people have never been in LOVE. And if they have, it's merely an anomalous affection quotient attributable to the overindulgence in substances inducing outlying, abnormal, and uncorroberatable eroginea factors...No?

GOTHAM: A Batman show without the Batman. Intriguing idea, but they've got so much going against them right now it seems silly to even attempt.

Also, I think Gotham could theoretically work. Batman wasn't awesome because it was Batman; Batman was awesome because of the villains. It's an interesting idea to place the villains, who really only have an equal in Batman in a scenario where there is no Batman. Give them the upper-hand by a long stretch.

The only star wars prequels that are canon are the ones i've outlined in my mind. I'll say this: the villains are interesting, but a response to Batman's presence. He's the light that draws the insects out at night. This series would probably just focus on the deterioration of Gordon's faith and principles while seeing the blatant corruption going on around the city...which could really just be any cop show. I want a reason for this to be set in the Batman universe, even i...

So, Homeland - I hate you. Incidentally, make the identity of the CIA mole more obvious. All the subtlety of a punch to the balls.

This biopic trend is really wearing me out.

Seeing Gravity this evening, Prisoners next week. So it begins.

Philip Seymour Hoffman. That is all.

Finally saw Prisoners - totally called what they were going to change with re: the finale. Woot, Woot! Go see it if you haven't already!
-
James Cameron isn't lying when he says that Gravity is the best space film ever made. Simple plot, lean and effective - nice use of theme, music's intense and it's a nail biter. But the visuals, my god. Several members of the audience who partook of herb were freaking out. I can't imagine what they saw but what I saw was beautiful.

If it's a 2 story IMAX screen? Yes, see it in IMAX. I saw it in regular but have seen enough films in regular and IMAX (you're welcome WB) to compare: the film's amazing in regular but the sheer addition of scale will make it a more immersive experience. You will feel engulfed by space. My vote: IMAX 3D. (oh and snag me a poster or three if you do the midnight showing.)

So...anyone hearing the grumblings on Thor 2 re: Alan Taylor and run time? I, personally, would enjoy a two hour thirty minute cut...

It just sucks that innovation in this relatively new sub-genre is getting neutered by companies like Disney.
Tony Stark should have dealt with alcoholism in Iron Man 3 as it would have complimented his PTSD perfectly. But Disney, from what I heard, decided to forgo this route because it was too adult.
Well what the hell then? Why am I going to see these movies? There's only so much you can do with action scenes and frankly when it comes to that department there real...

Mike: I actually really enjoyed Thor. It was the only Marvel movie to really have character development (aside from Iron Man - which was to a smaller degree) where the character starts one way and learns humility - and where the villain actually has development of his own. None of the other Marvel films really had that. I just really enjoyed that aspect and the story, while not ground breaking, was entertaining. I just want to be entertained. Now, given the fact that Thor 2 is being directed...

Spielberg dropped out of American Sniper...I'm bummed. http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/steven-spielberg-drops-out-of-directing-american-sniper/

You know who needs more work? John Barrowman. Very entertaining. Need more Torchwood in my life.

whoarethoseguys: I watched Children of Earth before Series 1 and 2 - no foreknowledge required as it's pretty easy to figure out the relationships. Bits of information you should know going in: The lead, Captain Jack, is immortal. Torchwood is a (poorly kept) secret government program tasked with eliminating alien threats. That's all you need to know. That said, it rewards fans with little nods to the first two series.

No. No. No, No, No. No. No.No. No. No, No, No. No. No.No. No. No, No, No. No. No. WHY BEN AFFLECK?!

That Dexter finale...might have been the worst finale ever conceived.

It was a long struggle. Literally finished at the last minute. Submitted my Writer's Store entry. It was unpolished, raw and frankly not very good. I will take it as a 50 dollar lesson, harden my resolve and start deadline work early. I start my walking dead spec tomorrow.

Having just sat through Elysium, I hereby proclaim the shaky camera genre dead to me.

Axalon: it was the kinda heavy handed story I wrote in Screenwriting 101 in college. It was cringeworthy to see on screen. Two editors and they weren't able to figure out that it was cancer to the story? Just start with them as children, get all that out of the way at the start, then jump to how it all went wrong - then one really quick flashback montage (of everything we've seen right as "destiny" is achieved). He was struggling with this story and getting all the pieces and...

Broadchurch adaptation on Fox...seriously? Just air the original.

agreed. I just rolled my eyes. I need the broadcast networks to back off the remakes and come up with original material. There are some exceptions (John Glenn's adaption of the british mini IDENTITY is an extremely solid pilot, and a miniseries I think that COULD be easily adapted over here) but leave it alone. I'm expecting to hear CBS or ABC to remake THE FALL shortly. smh

Anyone else read the Mayor of Shark City? Deftly handled...I'm actually really impressed. Thoughts?

House of Cards...now THAT is television.

Hannibal Lecter did this to me.

Interestingly enough, I remember reading the pilot and feeling underwhelmed.
There was a scene in the pilot script where Hannibal approaches a teenage girl smoking a cigarette. We then cut to him pounding lung tissue in his kitchen, he samples the meat then says "pre-smoked".
Hannibal with one-liners? I was afraid the series was going to be kind of a joke with lines like that but I'm glad to see they cut things like that from the show as it's definitely...

Anyone else see Gangster Squad? I...What the hell happened?

Pacific Rim's fighting - let's see if it can be a hit!

Taken 3: The plot line is under wraps but said to involve Taken meets Taken 2: except this time...the person he has to find and rescue...is himself.

I don't think the general viewing public will jump for 50 let alone 150, George Lucas... http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Steven-Spielberg-George-Lucas-Predict-Movie-Industry-Implosion-38049.html

From the lips that brought you Indy 4 and SW prequels so take with grain of rock salt. Outside massive inflation, $50 - $150 is ludicrous. Movies aren’t live entertainment. If they cost that much people won’t go & spend said $50-$150 on live entertainment. It’s supply & demand, like any other business. If demand falls, prices go down, not up.
