This looks potentially interesting

At least for the book, this is the description: "The story is told from the perspective of a five-year-old boy, Jack, who is being held captive in a small room along with his mother.[1] Donoghue conceived the story after hearing about five-year-old Felix in the Fritzl case."

Aww yes, it is great to have Stephen Colbert on television again.

This is so perfect. God it is good to have him on TV again, and it seems like it is already getting even better.

Watching the original TV series of The Wild Wild West from the sixties. Watched it a little when I was about 7 in the sixties, but rather enjoying it again. It really is very proto-steampunk.

Rewatching Samurai Jack.

The other day I was watching the Future Is Wild again, and I wanna watch Alien planet again (I'm in a bit of Speculative evolution mood. I think I'll make a Speculative evolution thread

)

How on earth did I miss the Frozen version of an Australian PSA "Ice Destroys Lives"?

Note: Frozen is rated PG in the UK.

Anyone watching Limitless on CBS?

The premiere was last night. Yes, it's based on the 2011 Bradley Cooper thriller about a new drug that makes you a genius. Cooper even makes a brief cameo in the pilot. I was ecstatic when this show was announced, because I was desperate to know more at the end of the movie, but I'm a little concerned that the show seems to be angling towards the overdone police drama themes. There are so many more interesting directions they could take it with minds of infinite potential...

(I'm British, BTW) It's PG in the USA, as well, right? :blink:

(I don't know about the rest of the world, sorry)

Yes, it was PG in the US too (I'm American). I don't know about the rest of the world either, though... I didn't even know it had the same rating in the UK till today.

Kung Fu Hustle. Best movie.

Dredd. Second best movie

Sense8 best show at this moment

I don't watch shows until they're like, out on Netflix, because we don't pay for TV...Because it is a waste of money. Eventually they'll get we all just watch stuff online...

It means I know obscure films and shows that nobody here ever watched...

I'm in agreement with you. It's still promising at this point, but is in danger of becoming a typical CBS procedural. For now I'd have to say I was expecting more, but still liked it enough to watch episode 2.

I wasn't expecting much, but Heroes Reborn is actually pretty great so far.

Is it? Because I pretty much lost interest as soon as it was announced. I never even freaking finished Heroes because I got bored of it.

I'm not sure what kind of critical reception the 2-hour special premiere is getting, but I really enjoyed it. Seems like Reborn is going to be better than anything Heroes did post-Season 1. Good balance of old characters/plotlines and new ones.

BoJack Horseman is really unreasonably good.

Bearon wrote:Any show you guys know of where two young boys fall in love? I'm sort of tired of the East's take on that trope...

Shows? idk

Movies? North Sea Texas is essential, one of my all-time favorites. I'd also recommend Summer Storm, but more hesitantly. (Don't watch the trailer, btw - it makes it look like a cheesy romcom when it's actually sad as fuck.)

TMNT 2003. I only watched a few episodes when I was younger, but now since I'm more into TMNT, I've been watching some more of it. It's pretty good so far, and one day I'd like to watch turtles forever.

Been watching mainly the Clone Wars (2008) series over the last week or so, i never got to watch it all the last time when it was still airing so might as well catch up now, on season 2 now.

Dude. I'm doing the exact same thing. Just finished Season 1 and started Season 2. I want to finish the series before Force Awakens.

I need to actually start watching movies again...And shows...But it's hard to hang with a friend (Over the computer), cater to my gaming and music hobbies, AND that.

by **Tokuopolis** » Sat Sep 26, 2015 1:54 pm

I saw the new ep of dr who (pretty good) and TMNT 2003 "the way of invisibility" ( I wonder who the shredders enemies are)

I never got the criticism of post-Season 1 Heroes... everyone else says it declined in quality, but somehow I didn't notice that. :unsure:

As far as Reborn goes, so far, so good.
