What have you watched recently?

    Quote from SpronyvanJohnson

    I disagree. Just because it's there and he knows them doesn't automatically guarantee that Frodo would be a good ring bearer or that he can't withstand the power of the precious. No, Gandalf is old and wise and I believe that he does things for a reason. Hence, asking Bilbo was a calculated move on his part or so I reckon.


    I agree, but in the movie there is no background to confirm that, it appears as a random choice, hence the movie is faulty. If the original story is the same, then the premise of the story is faulty. I think it's objective.

    Fair enough

    The 3rd Hobbit film ;/, and I don't recommend it. It ruined the the whole thing for me. No focus, everything was Convenient, no urgency in the movie at all. To much use of CG. I don't understand all the war/battle scenes in this one. It felt as if they tried to hard to be LOTR, they can never live up to LOTR, and every fight felt like a comic rather than good fight choreography. The movie was all over the place and didn't focus on much of the main characters. It had its good moments of course, but overall, I would never watch it again.

    Just like the other movies wanna talk about the barrel scene? Statue of gold? Goblins caves? What wasn't convenient and unsurprising in these movies, even by people who didn't read the book.~

    Just watched this tho, and I must say I'm making peace with Gandalf and the deliberateness of his actions

    Which just confirms what I did say after not liking Donnie Darko: some movies require background knowledge and since you can't assume people to have it, you have to find a way to explain the audience some basics (or the movie can't be defined "good").

    I'm finding waaay more interesting this video than the whole new trilogy: wouldn't be much more interesting depicting the whole creation of Middle Earth, with the conflict of the fallen angel and everything, be more interesting than the Hobbit? Seems there's shitload of material for a good movie…

    Guardians Of The Galaxy.


    Loved it! Really reminded me of The Fifth Element which is also really awesome, some good one liners in there.. "They got my dick message..!"

    Watched this just recently, really cool cinematography and landscapes, a really gorgeous film; I would recommend it


    'The Fall'

    Watched Big Hero 6 recently as well, liked the environments of San Fransokyo, really good animation, would recommend that as well.

    Homeland episode 12:


    What the fuck.. all that and the last episode is 45 minutes or nothing of any significance happening whatsoever, apart from a really shady plot device which is the obvious setup for Season 5.. I wanted to switch it off midway, I was so bored!

    The Maze Runner is so bad... SO BAD! Seriously guys... WTF. Divergent looks like a masterpiece next to this. The premise is incredibly far fetched and ridiculous... Give anyone 5 minutes to figure out a better backstory and I guarantee that no on will have a problem coming up with a better idea for why they're in that maze...


    Predestination was pretty awesome. It's a bit predictable if you've seen time travel movies before cos the mechanics are the same but there's some good twists on the classic formula! Definitely recommend this one.

    The Drop - pretty good! Also started watching the Leftovers, have seen 4 of them now. It's a bit strange to begin with, episode 3 was very good though

    The episode 3 is crazy. There're lots of crazy stuff in this show in the story but also and especially in the image.

    The Drop - Pretty good.

    Das Boot original uncut - I already saw the directors cut which was already amazing, but this one is even better because it's longer

    Prisoners: very very good drama about the disappearance of two girls. After End Of Watch and this I am really appreciating Gyllenhaal.

    Homeland: I had to watch the last three episodes of S1 Tuesday, now just watched the first two of S2. Damn if it stays this good throughout I have to really wonder why is not more under the limelight.
