TheDarkness Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 How To Train Your Dragon 2 My whole family geeks out over this ever since seeing the first movie at the cinemas, even having seen the animatronic show. The kids love the tv show (I'm not a huge fan) but as expected it seems the animation for the sequel has taken a massive step forwards. I do hope there is a strong continuity between it all but we will see. Expecting big things at the box office for this one. Last night I saw The Hobbit: DoS. I thought it was very good and a huge improvement with the additional scenes adding to the story......until the last 15-20 minutes or so. Then I just was questioning why they would do that. It made the movie feel too long in the end as well, where the first acts flew past. Still, there were notable highlights (Tauriel was a great inclusion IMO), key LOTR links and arguably the best dragon ever seen on a screen. Looking forward to the final installment.....just hoping PJ doesn't give us 63 false endings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I agree, I'll be pissed if he lets everyone live... That is also my concern though I do think giving certain dwarves more character time is a prelude to their demise. PJ will have a few issues to sort out to ensure continuity but that does seem manageable at this stage. I will admit to enjoying the Dol Guldur scenes though, I thought their inclusion was fantastic.

Sauromosis Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I thought "Smaug" was a total mess. I really enjoyed the first one, as they introduced the journey and the characters, including Gollum, but I felt like this one was total brain dead action. So many scenes where a character is surfing things. It just got silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue866 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 What? I never put my faves in here? Strange... Because I love to spread the love for the best TV show in history: The X-Files!!!!! First show to ever come out as a complete series on DVD. I think I've re-watched the series at least 10 times. Watch it for nothing less than the HUGE list of alumni that have gone on to bigger things on their own. Including Vince Gilligan - creator of "Breaking Bad". He wrote some of the best episodes of the series. Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Dean Norris were all in episodes. List of X-Files alumni: Jane Lynch Jack Black Seth Green Giovanni Ribisi Ryan Reynolds Lucy Liu Lucy Lawless Bruce Campbell Peter Boyle Cary Elwes That's just a sample! Love this show. I'm still hoping for a third movie... Other favorite TV shows: Without A Trace Fringe One Tree Hill Scrubs American Dad American Horror Story Movies: My favorite movie of all-time is an old 80's movie no one's ever heard of or seen (especially in the United States). It's about an Australian race horse - Phar Lap. It's from 1982 and way before the movies Secretariat and Seabiscuit. It's also much better than those two. Other faves: Sliding Doors The Matchmaker The Truth About Cats and Dogs The Cutting Edge It's A Wonderful Life Back To the Future Young Frankenstein Equilibrium Monty Python and the Holy Grail As Good As It Gets The Orphanage ("El Orfanato") The Sixth Sense Pan's Labyrinth The Ring Final Destination series (guilty pleasure) Step Up series (more guilty pleasure) Saw series The Butterfly Effect The Mothman Prophecies Pi (not Life of Pi, which I haven't seen...)

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Let's see how many people re infuriated by this... I hate star wars. I don t get it. Seen every movie. They are boring to me. Hence why I buy so many start are lego sets. No temptation to open. Lol - I see it just like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAR-GxoFwBI In all seriousness, here are some some things of mine: Best show ever: Seinfeld - The most relevant, most relateable show of all time - and most likely always will be because it gets to the core of normality in human life. Will absolutely never die. My favorite show of all time: Aqua Teen Hunger Force - Stupid, pointless, full of one liners. Its hilarious and just literally kills me. Best show airing on TV at the moment: South Park - IMO, rivals Seinfeld because it is in its Prime at the moment and has been for 7-8 years. It is incredibly relevant because its made in the 6 days before an episode airs. It is rash, ridiculous, and completely inappropriate and at the same time one of the most intelligent shows on television. Trey and Matt are literally geniuses who still love fart jokes. Best "bored" show of all time: Law and Order (any of them). Anytime nothing is on TV, Law and Order is on TV. Awesome Other shows I watch religously: The League - Once the best show on television, it is not quite at the heights it was in season 2. However it is extremely relevant and incredibly funny at all points. Perfect array of characters and adds in sports perfectly. Archer - Making a serious play for my favorite show of all time. Hilarious doesn't describe the show. Just unbelievably funny. Squidbillies - Now that I live in the south I appreciate this show so much more (Made by the people that make Aqua teen hunger force) Bones - Great mystery crime drama. Don't care for the relationship crap, but they always do a good job with the crimes. Rizolli and Isles - Good crime drama. Potentially another reason why I stay glued to this. Wont elaborate Franklin and Bash - Pretty solid comedy. Workaholics - Incredibly funny and another show that could become an all time favorite. "I think this chair is spanish. I DON"T SPEAK SPANISH!!!" Pawn Stars - Yeah this one is pretty obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was like that with American Beauty. Felt like I was the only person in the world that didn't like that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxckid88 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Dniim I couldn't be a more poplar opposite with you and TV. I go on long rants about why I hate Seinfeld.

Hahaha, Kevin O'leary bashing innocent entrepreneurs and crushing dreams is worth the forty-five minutes by itself. In Canada both Shark Tank and the Canadian version (called Dragons' Den) are on TV every once in awhile. I love this pic: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
