Criminal Minds. There is not a thing on. Either I'm getting older and bitter, or TV is just getting worse and worse. I'm so tired of all the trash: Duck Dynasty, Moonshiners, Swamp People, Horders, Axe Men, anything on MTV, VH1, A&E, and even Spike. I want my old Overhaulin', The Universe, Through the Wormhole (which is still on) back. Okay, I'm done.
 
Watching Bloody Sunday, the documentary/film by Paul Greengrass about the deadly shooting of British soldiers against the Irish in '74 I think.
 
Just watched the season finale of Dexter, and it's just unbelivable.

Will try to get up to speed on a few other series while waiting for Walking Dead to continue and Game of Thrones season 3.
 
I just watched Momento and I'm struggling with the ending, we see Lenny with his wife and a tattoo on his chest saying "I've done it" in the space he claims all through the film he's reserving for when he gets John G. Thing is, Teddy claims Lenny killed his wife with the insulin shots ages ago and we know in that building where Teddy explains Lenny's past he doesn't have the tattoo. I don't understand if his wife is dead or not?
 
I just finished watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It's a pretty amazing film when you consider that it was directed by a committee of llamas.
 
I have been watching Pokemon episodes (online) all day. Nothing exciting on tv anyways - many channels had reruns of a the same show (for the network) all day. New Year's Eve marathon, something like that.
 
I've got a headache so today I'm burning through the first 3 Bourne movies. This way I can actually buy Bourne Legacy and get to watch Jeremy Renner be a total badass in something other than The Avengers. I've actually only ever watched the first one all the way through and even them I missed a few bits.

On Bourne Identity right now. Just got past the opening commentary on the extended edition.


EDIT: On Bourne Ultimatum.

EDIT2: And now for Bourne Supremacy.

Killer Joe

from Rotten Tomatoes: When 22 year-old drug dealer Chris (Hirsch) has his stash of drugs stolen from him by his mother, he has to come up with six-thousand dollars quick, or he's dead. Desperate, he goes to the trailer-park to see his father, Ansel (Hayden Church), and he lays out the plan. Chris's mother, who everyone hates, has a life insurance policy that would clear up his debt and make them all rich. The problem is that Chris' mother is very much alive. Enter Detective "Killer" Joe Cooper, a hired hit man with the manners of a Southern gentleman, who will do the job - for an upfront fee, that Chris and Ansel can't pay. Just as Joe is about to leave, he spots Dottie (Temple), Chris' innocent younger sister. Joe makes Chris an offer, he'll keep Dottie as sexual collateral until the money is collected and his fee can be paid.


First NC-17 film I have watched in awhile. Raunchy, sadistically funny, violent. Might I add, more angry beaver than I'm comfortable with. However: Excellent and twisted movie.
 
So there's this show on Spike TV. World's Worst Tenants. It was on when I turned the TV on. And apparently, the building manager was checking a condo for a reported gas leak. And one of the tenants was running late to pick up his sister.





So he got in a fistfight with the building manager and got his ass kicked.

:lol:



Edit: In the span of two episodes:

Guy gets in a fistfight because he was more worried about picking up his sister at the airport than letting his landlord checking for a gas leak.
Guy gets busted for setting up an extensive surveillance network of surrounding apartments' showers.
Guy gets busted for having an illegal distillery.
Guy gets busted for running a sweatshop full of sewing machines in his garage, behind a fake wall and everything.


It's like watching a trainwreck. A trainwreck that is as obviously scripted as a wrestling match, but a trainwreck nonetheless.



Edit: One episode had a boat chase, shirtless drugged-up madmen and suspected terrorist activities (machine fun fire, bomb making materials). In three separate incidents. It's like the GTA Vice City version of home evictions.

Couldn't sleep, finally getting around to watching human Braeburn playing a car: Part 2(Cars 2 because like...4 people who read this post will get that joke).

The roof rack as a comb-over is god damn awesome. And...the one car actualy died on impact with the water and the rest were exploded. I'm...surprised this got that violent, I mean...those cars were...living..



But yeah, so far it's looking to be pretty cool, got some laughs in already, too. Really clever the way they're personifying these vehicles, the cars and the boats. "Don't get your prop in a twist" was pretty good. Kinda seems like the same kind of humor you get with MLP.


EDIT:...

Oh god...

I know these are just cars and all, but...



..so many dead...

Side note: In the time it takes for this movie to end, as many "lemons" died IRL as in the movie.*



*But not really.
