    Prometheus has officially secured an 18s rating. I'm so happy I could shoot projectile acid from a parasite in my mouth.

    I seem to have missed this being advertised on TV but...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpqzftbVZA


    Apparently it's a reality TV show about a group of woman who 'shop and lunch their days away before spending their evenings sipping cocktails'. Oh my God, if any foreign person ever decides to try get a glimpse into Irish life and somehow ends up watching TV3...God help us all.







    (looking forward to watch it though....)

    Despite being directed by David Schwimmer, aka Ross from Friends, this was really good!

    I'm currently obsessed with House. Just over halfway through Season 4. I just love the banter between House and Wilson atm. :)

    I hate when things end too. :(

    I guess its better that they end when things are going well than when viewing figures are down and interest it the programme has disappeared.

    The last episode I watched was
    when House discovered that Wilson and Amber are dating
    . I wanted to know the actresses name and went on her wiki page and read things I didn’t want to read so now I’ve spoiled things on myself. :o

    I’ve been neglecting my other usuals like The Mentalist, New Girl and Awake because I’m so obsessed with House.

    Also the Criminal Minds season finale was amazing. :)
    So going to miss Emily though. :(

    I haven't watched House in so long, it use to be my favorite show but I sort of stopped watching after
    a certain character commits suicide, on top of the other main characters disease it was all a bit too depressing
    . I really must catch up on it though

    I'm watching an anime called Sakamichi no Apollon/Kids on the Slope, a new series from one of my favourite anime directors, Shinichiro Watanabe, of Cowboy Bebop fame. It's about a group of Japanese teenagers growing up in Kyushu, and how they bond by playing jazz music. I was sceptical at first, because Cowboy Bebop was so brilliant, and this seemed like such a departure. It's fantastic though, and blends music culture with a nice coming-of-age story. It's only 9 episodes in to its first season, but I'm hooked!

    Prometheus wasn't half as creepy as I was expecting, which is saddening. It's still decent though and two hours of Michael Fassbender, who is excellent in it (and, you know, relatively easy on the eye and whatnot), almost made up for my disappointment.

    Since yesterday I've watched 4 episodes of Game of Thrones and it lives up to all the hype!
    I'm going to try and portion the episodes out though so I don't end up with nothing to watch.

    Saw Snow White and the Huntsman tonight and I was impressed.I thought it looked good but I really enjoyed it and it looks stunning!the effects are excellently done.

    I had no expectations going to see Prometheus (was a choice made by friends) and I thought it was fairly good, but nothing I'd go to see again or anything.

    Completely obsessed with House atm, I started watching it the Friday before last and I'm already on season 3....

    Loads of people I follow on tumblr are obsessed with Supernatural, so I've started that. Not seeing what all the fuss is about so far, but then it's been going for seven seasons so maybe it picks up after a while

    I just realized how many big things pass me by completely. I don't watch Game of Thrones. I've only watched one Lord of the Rings film. I haven't watched a Harry Potter film since 2003.I've never seen a Pirates of the Caribbean film. I haven't watched The Avengers. Its like I've completely skipped a decade of pop culture.

    Finished Season 2 of The Wire today, I actually live for those end-of-season montages. Two down, three to go, thought S1 was a fair bit better than S2 but I've heard great things about three and four so on I go!

    When I was at my friend's house the other night we re-watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. So excited for The Dark Knight Rises now, I've steered completely clear of spoilers (I haven't even watched a trailer yet :p), so I'm super excited! :D

    Harry Potter films aren't worth watching, just read the books. Unless you love the terrible acting. :P The Avengers was the most ridiculously overhyped film in a long time imo... I'm getting tired of the non-stop superhero movies these days.

    WATCH REVENGE, PEOPLE. It wasn't voted best season finale of the year for nothing! (although, I haven't gotten that far but still, it's unreal so far :p...)

    I shouldn't be watching all these episodes of it though with a 10gb limit :(

    Yeah, I read all the books and the films just didn't appeal to me afterwards.. Same with Lord of the Rings! I won't be bothered seeing The Hobbit either.

    I'm sick of them all as well, the only ones I really like are the latest Batman films. I really can't understand why they're bringing Spiderman back either.. Why would I go to cinema to see Spiderman's origins when I already saw that in 2002?

    Because the 2002 film was not a good film. And the new one is a much better, updated origin that has Peter Parker acting like his beloved comic book counter part as opposed to a whiny little bitch, and has several key characters that where never touched upon in the other trilogy, including Gwen Stacy who was actually Peter's first love and not that skank MJ who never loved him like Gwen did and...



    ...I just have a lot of Spider-man feelings...

    Guy who directed it Herzog likes his oddness alright, you should check out Aguirre: The Wrath of God. The plot is a bit sparse but it looks absolutely stunning.

    I loved Bad Lieutenant fwiw, mostly for Cage's demented portrayal of the lead guy.

    You're thinking of this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103759/ (Port of Call isn't a remake btw)

    Another great film. Keitel is ruddy excellent too, one of the most extreme performances ever (the drug-taking is real apparently). I do love my Bad Lieutenants. :cool:

    "Magic Mike" well hello there!
    It was a bit heavier and slower paced than what I was expecting but for a purely aesthetic value it wins big time.

    Though all the outdoor scenes seemed almost in sepia which did do my head in.

    Wouldn't really recomed it but ita worth a lot to stare at semi-naked hot lads.

    Oh and any wrestling fans Kevin Nash is in it and is a terrible male stripper who lacks any rythem or swag when dancing.
