I like the episode where Penny gives Sheldon a napkin with Leonard Nimoy´s autograph and he in return gives her all the gift baskets and a hug!! as thanks tongue.gif

Sheldon: Do you realize what this means? All I need is a healthy ovum and I can make my own Leonard Nimoy!"
Penny: Ok, I'm only giving you the napkin, Sheldon.

Saw Lawless the other night, and it was pretty good. Shia LeBeouf managed to actually do a pretty good job of acting in the main lead, and while it was kind of formulaic as your standard prohibition-era gangster film, it was good fun. Serious props to Guy Pearce in that, as well; he made for an awesome villain in that.

I watched the entire season of "Game of Thrones" in one sitting. At first I though this show looked ridiculous but after the first episode I was hooked. After the first episode I was impressed, after the second I was hooked.

I went out and grabbed the second season right afterwards!

Seriously, this show is a very adult but incredibly gripping series where the creators are not afraid to mix it up and keep you guessing. The world is also surprisingly fresh and fun, there's also a good bit of humor thrown in there.

Once again though, not for kids. Not even a little. It reminded me of the Witcher series in this regard.

Yes. I thought it would be a boring show like the cancelled Camelot, but after I watched the first episode and saw how good the actors and the story was, I couldn't stop watching them. The show is amazing and it has gritty realism mixed with fantasy. For those who never read the books(I haven't), I was shocked at the death of some characters and the twists and turns the series presents throughout the episodes. Not to mention the dialogue is superb, the fight scenes are great! Even some scenes add suspence like the Wall Climb with Jon and Ygritte.

Season 1 is good, season 2 is great. Season 3 is just absolutely fantastic! Characters such as Jaime Lannister is one of those complex characters.

Fans reaction to Jamie season 1- Arrogant, incestuous prick who pushed a boy out of the window for catching him having sex with his own sister.

Fans Reaction to Jamie season 2- Traitor, kingslayer, pompous villain. Why don't you die already!?

Fans reaction to Jamie season 3- Jamie is the man! I feel your pain! I hope everythings works well for him! He's a hero!

Now, the best scene in season 1 is this one. Left me shocked. Bitter. And of course, angry. Spoilers!!!

I agree with your post 100% but haven't watched all of season 2 yet or even started the 3rd season!

I was also amazed to see them kill off some of their best characters so early on, which is rare. The only other series that surprised me so much with random deaths of characters was The Walking Dead .

I have to admit though that all of the actors in Game of Thrones are very good, even some of the ones I initially disliked.

My wife and I are completely addicted to this show.

Trust me, your opinions of the characters will change. So far my favorite characters are Khal Drogo, Daenerys Targaryan and of course, Sandor Clegane(aka The Hound).

Yeah, the writer is notorious for killing off noble characters. Which is the entire point of the Game of Thrones. The noble, honorable characters end up dying because it takes deception and backstabbing to play the game. And the characters who are sadistic and destructive also bite the dust because they don't have a balanced mind. For example:

They are indeed good actors. Some I recognized from Lord Of the Rings, 300 and Dark Knight Rises.

I watched some of Game of Thrones and gave up as well, though not for the same reasons the wife. There were a lot of reasons actually. For one the overabundance of characters made the story feel fragmented to me. That is good for a story that is focused on portraying grand, sweeping events, because it allows you to show show all of those events through those scattered viewpoints. Obviously that is what they are going for here. But I prefer character-driven stories, and for those to work well you need a tight focus on one or a few characters so that you can really get to know them, and see how they grow and evolve through the story. When a character only gets five minutes of screentime, you cannot get much of that. It is not so much a slam on the making of the story, but rather that it is just not what I prefer myself.

The other is that there are three distinct stories going on at once. Again, it is just a personal preference, but give me one story at a time please. Give me the civil war from start to finish, or give me the magical wildlings of the north menacing the world from start to end, etc... Just like with too many characters, there are too many plots for me. I would have preferred three completely different series shown years apart, rather than mashing them all together in a big stew. To me it feels like the equivalent of trying to tell the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit all in one series of movies, rather than two completely separate ones.

The stories themselves are what disappointed me the most though. They are just too derivative. The civil war one especially. It feels like a blatant copy of the War of the Roses, right down to having a House Lancaster (oh wait, that was Lannister, my bad... wink.gif) In the end I realized that I could skip the series, and just read a book about the RL WOTR instead, and get the same thing.

Actually the names of many of them are a turn off for me too. Ned? Rob? Jamie? They sound like people living down the hall from me, not characters in a fantastical world. The irony is that I hate overly grandiose names that many writers like to give characters in stories set in the modern world, like Eric Drayven from The Crow, or Alexander Corvinus from Underworld. In modern stories, I prefer people with real-sounding names. Give me one Harry Callahan over any ten Krystle Carringtons.

But when I am in a fantasy world, I prefer my characters to have a fantasy sound to them. Imagine if LOTR had characters with names like Joe the Grey Wizard, Gladys the Queen of the Elves, Al the Ranger, Lenny the Wood Elf prince, Gerry the Dwarf, Sal the White Wizard, etc...

Oh, I saw that in the cinema. It was pretty good, though if you ask me the ghost was kind of goofy looking at points. I did like how the film subverted the typical horror movie trope of the Damsel in Distress, and instead had the main female lead be the one who drove a lot of the movie; made it different and interesting, certainly.

Oh, they probably meant names like Daenerys Targaryen or Kraznys mo Naklaz. George R. R. Martin was weird with his names. They are either ordinary 20th century ones, or tongue-twisters that defy pronunciation. Instead of a happy medium between the two, like Tolkien did with Aragorn, Gandalf, Bilbo, etc... Exotic names, but easy to pronounce and remember.

Saw the new Fright Night, with Colin Farell. It was really good. I enjoyed it more than the original. I liked how it stayed close enough to the original so that you could see it was the same basic story, but added new twists and entirely new things to keep it fresh as well. The cameo by Chris Sarandon was a wonderful surprise, and of course I loved David Tenant and his new version of Peter Vincent.

So, back out from Star Trek: Into Darkness, and I gotta say, this is a spectacle.

No, seriously, there's a part with Klingons that makes you realize they really are a bunch of Bad@$$es when not being used as rag dolls for showing the apparent strength of the villain of the week. AKA, the Worf Effect is nowhere to be seen.

They turn up the visuals from last time (Warp looks like what a physicist would suspect it to look like, with better Blue-Shift effects due to relativistic physics) and the action sequences are less dopey, but the story still leaves something to be desired and the whole idea of a plot arc is really more like a plot-placeholder with a slight rise in the middle. It's a spectacle, not a film, and I won't be surprised if Tony Stark and Pepper Potts find a way to hold on to the top spot or simply reclaim it next week in ticket sales.

Which brings me to this. Spoilers Ahead!



No, seriously, it is Spoilerish content, and whether you click on the spoilers is inherently tied to how much you like J.J. Abrams doing his "it's a mystery" thing to get away with Guar-Dung level writing.

Yeah, that is one that can wait for dvd, or instant viewing on Netflix. The Star Trek reboot has not really impressed me. As you said, they are spectacles, with lots of pretty lights and funny one-liners. But there is not much substance to them. Pretty much whenever I see JJ Abrams' name on something now I take it as a sign I should find something else to watch.

Went to see Star Trek, and I’m in complete agreement with Hammer. My friends still had most of the popcorn in their bucket when I said, Wait! I’ve seen this one before.

But I still enjoyed it tremendously. I like to spend some time in the dark digesting my Cali-style veggie burrito with a draft Yuengling at my elbow and Mr. Grits rolling his eyes at the movie. (He did not enjoy it.) It was very pretty, very nostalgic, and I could even forgive that the space explosions were noisy. I’ll certainly go see the next one in the theater. (Maybe someone will even write a story for it. That would be great!)

This evening, we watched the original Star Trek II...I fancied watching it...I forced encouraged the kids to sit there watching it with us..."Oh yeah!!" I said, "Gonna be great!!"...

Part way through, the boy went and dug out a few Playstation mags to go though...The daughter chose to do some essay for school on poetry and the wife fell asleep...

While I love the film, it's definitely showing it's thirty years...

Muhahaha!

Don't worry sir, I'm just old enough to prefer the older films than the new crap they keep slinging out at us.

But, to be honest, I was never really a Trekkie, indeed, Star Wars was my forte. Possibly because it struck me as less of a 'Nerd pr0n' genre, though there is going to be key differences between TV series and movies, to be fair.

Also, Jedis just kick so much more arse, sorry.
McBadgere
Oh aye...Star Wars was my fave too...You'll get no argument from me on that score...

But I saw them all (Trek movies) as soon as they were on video 'cause the love of the Trek series was something The Mother and Dad had in common back then...So whichever particular parental property we happened to find ourselves back then, there was a chance one of them would force encourage us to watch them... biggrin.gif ...

And then, of course was the fact that I've seen all of them since that God-awful one about the entity on "Shangri-La" in the cinema by choice...Well, up until the one with the Romulan Picard...We passed on that one...

Indeed, I was once supposed to be seeing ST:IV in the cinema as a date, but the girl got a stomach bug and, as we didn't have multiplexes in them days, the film had swapped before we'd gotten to see it...And no, I can't remember what we saw instead...*Sighs*...Her name was Angela...She was nice... biggrin.gif ..
