Watched the first episode of season 3 of Orange Is The New Black yesterday. It was a fine episode, but seemed like it should have been in the middle of the season. Nothing too major happened in it.

Still a really good show, though.

We watched 4-5 shows but never got into it

Watched the first episode of season 4 last night (suits), love that series

Come on gaize, one glance at the Jurassic park/world or whatever it's called, should have given you a pretty good idea it was gonna be a pile of trash. You only have yourselves to blame :naughty:

Ok I might go for Mad Max instead.

This + VIP section + Beer + Poutine = profit


Edit: What's the reason why they are opening another park on another island? like it didn't work in 2 occasions...

Really wasn't that good. I'm disappointed in it.

Mad Max was awesome.

The smart dinosaur in JW, does he allow himself to be captured so as to infiltrate the enemy base?

Yep, one of the few if not the only soap opera that i enjoy. The season 4 is good.

I'm not a huge fan of Orange is the new Black also. I stopped after the first season.

8/10

On ice training 4 times a day during the summer time....jeez no wonder Mogilny scored 76 goals in a season. These guys were over-trained machines.

Would be 10/10 if they did not use Fetisov `off the record`footage.

just watched "shut up and play the hits", the documentary about LCD soundsystem's last days as a band. so ****ing good.... james murphy is a fascinating man. most of the footage is them playing so you probably have to at least give a measure of **** to enjoy it, but i loved it.

This is why I hate LCD Soundsystem.

The music is simplistic, the vocals are annoying at best. The samples are somewhat good but completely overshadowed by
silly, ****** minimalistic beats and rhythms.

This is not that music. This is the most awful crap to come from any remotely famous artist, possibly with the exception of The Hold Steady.

Simply put they are a planet full of ego with nothing to justify it.

"Chloe, there's a T-Rex in CTU..."

It's honestly almost that bad tho, I got some dirty looks for bringing my 9 yr old to JW but she found it funny, the dinosaurs were cute she said

1st movie had great effects - especially for it's time - but it built suspense which makes the impact on the audience and believable or not creates the fear - the only suspense in this one was when it would be over

which is exactly why i love them, its post-punk, new wave, happy mondays style dance music. and for the record, there's no samples in any of their songs. and 'they' is only one guy, and i can only assume you just hate the music without knowing anything about them because 'ego' is the last word i would ever think of when thinking of james murphy.

This, I remember in the first movie when they were climbing the electric fence, that was a great exemple of creating suspense out of nothing.

It had the potentiel to have great sequel but it didn't happen

Unfortunately in the history of movies this probably has happened less than DD has put up a point in the playoffs and yet dumb people like me still get suckered in :laugh:

When the 're-make' of Fantastic Four (should be a rule that if the car most people drive to the remake is the same as they drove to the original the re-make isn't actually necessary) and AntMan (WTF is all I can muster) are in the Coming Soon's I should've just pulled the chute

I watched the original JP tonight. If I've watched it before, I have no recollection of doing so.

It's very good. I actually jumped at one of the scenes. The movie's fun.

I didn't realize other movies had copied it so much. The 1998 Godzilla is basically a Jurassic Park sequel.

Watched "The Culture High," not bad, worth a watch. Basically a documentary on marijuana discussing everything from medical purposes to government propaganda.
