Didn't read the entire thread just pages 1-3. Surprised not more love for Firefly! Great show...just saw Percy Jackson with the boys and Nathan Fillion has a line that says "it was a hugely popular show, so of course it got cancelled". Pretty sure it was a nod to Firelfly and I was the only one in the theater that got it!

I have really been into Miyazaki lately. Not that the imdb top 250 is any better or worse than other list...but Miyazaki has 6 movies on that list.

Some of my favorite movies:

Star Wars (mostly the OT, but I seem to be one of the few who can tolerate I-III.

Lotr ---and i am including the hobbit in there. Especially with how so many characters appear in both movies (that I don't remember being in the Hobbit like Saruman, Galadriel, Frodo, and Legolas). I wouldn't be surprised if Aragon was in part 3. (Think he'd be a teenager...since he's like 86 in lotr).

True Romance...love this movie. The most impressive list of actors I can remember (love Val kilmers role!)

I love the Harry potter movies too, and Indiana jones. There seems to be a John Williams thread in most of my favorites!

I am curious what everyone watches?

 

I am a big Law and Order Fan. Otherwise I'm all comedies in order of best down, my top five:

 

1. Seinfeld - best show of all time hands down.

2. Aqua Teen Hunger Force

3, Family Guy

4. Archer

5. The League

 

What do you guys like?

The League is the funniest show on TV! Just thinking about Taco's Niganta song makes me lol. Do you watch Portlandia? Too me it has some misses, but when it is on it really cracks me up too!

I refuse to watch it, although I did watch the original just the other night.  "I'd buy that for a dollar"

 

I did watch the "Fright Night" remake, which was disappointing.  I still refuse to watch the "Total Recall" and "Karate Kid" remakes.  I'm still up in the air about "Man of Steel", I can't bring myself to watch it yet.  Christopher Reeve's version in "Superman 1 & 2" have too many fond childhood memories for me and I have trouble seeing anyone else as Superman.  Although, "Smallville" was pretty good, once  you got past the first 3 seasons.

Movie News

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales Delayed; 2016 Release Likely

Source: Walt Disney Pictures

September 10, 2013

34 0

Although Captain Jack Sparrow is set to sail again in the forthcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Walt Disney Pictures now brings word that the project won't make its original release date of July 10, 2015. Although nothing is set in stone, studio sources indicate that a 2016 release is likely. The news comes just one day after the studio rescheduled the Marvel Studios property Ant-Man.

Launched in 2003 with The Curse of the Black Pearl, the franchise has, in every film so far, featured Johnny Depp in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. The most recent adventure, On Stranger Tides, also starred Penelope Cruz, Ian McShane and Sam Claflin and turned out more than $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

Catch Me If You Can scribe Jeff Nathanson has provided the screenplay for the fifth installment, which will be directed by Kon-Tiki's Joachim R

I have never seen it but I have thought about it.

 

Niganta song is amazing. That show in general is just amazing.

 

The second second finally (two parter) was unbelievable. I cried like 5 times from laughing.

If we're going non-cartoon (cuz that list would be me having a 64 team bracket with a winner that I'd probably have lose to some show that was eliminated in the first round)...

then it'd be Survivor

love that show.

 

But as far as one that I have enjoyed the most (positively, the positive message that I keep preaching on my channel lol) then it'd be American Idol

Back in the day, there were some videos showcasing a bunch of clips using what was then the latest in computer animation. This was back in the early 1990's when the medium was starting to be taken seriously or even seemed feasible. Anyway, here is the complete first in the Computer Animation Festival series. The whole thing is separated into parts and was taken from a VHS tape so quality isn't that great but hey, it's free!
