I think Heroes is probably the most clusterfucky tv show I've ever seen.
|
Heroes was abandoned by most of it's fans for turning into a huge pile of fucking shit. I was relieved when it was put out of it's misery.
|
Why? I enjoyed Season 4 and was interested in another one.
|
I miss HRG and Claire-bear...
|
The 4th season was so much better than the 2nd and 3rd, but they'd damaged the core characters and plot lines a lot in those two. I lost count of how many times Sylar flip flopped between being a good guy and a bad guy.
|
Also Peter Petrelli was probably my least favourite leading character in a show ever.
|
Nathan was obviously the better of the two.
|
I fell on the 'kill the cheerleader, save the show' side of things. Season 1 was great, but then it turned into a soap opera and I couldn't give the slightest amount of fucks about poor Claire and her melodramas.
|
But why were you happy for me not to have the show? You said you were relieved. This is strange to me. I see you don't like the show, but how does its existence trouble you? Could you not just stop watching it? Strange.
|
The highlights of the entire show was Season 1, the Villians arch (though they still dropped the ball with it), and...
*SPOILERS IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE ENTIRE SERIES* when Parkman used his ability to trick Sylar into becoming Nathan based on his memories. |
That was classic DC shit right there. Loved it.
|
Heroes should have been so much better than it was.
|
Stopped watching Heroes after Volume Three because I thought the season was over. Never got back into it.
I know everybody "hated" it, but the second season was the best of what I saw. With whatshisface who was immortal or something. |
I nearly held out until the end, but gave up about 3 or 4 episodes before the end of the last season. Shame it never really lived up to the first one.
|
"Don't say another Goddamn word. Up until now, I've been polite. If you say anything else - word one - I will kill myself. And when my tainted spirit finds its destination, I will topple the master of that dark place. From my black throne, I will lash together a machine of bone and blood, and fueled by my hatred for you this fear engine will bore a hole between this world and that one. When it begins, you will hear the sound of children screaming - as though from a great distance. A smoking orb of nothing will grow above your bed, and from it will emerge a thousand starving crows. As I slip through the widening maw in my new form, you will catch only a glimpse of my radiance before you are incinerated. Then, as tears of bubbling pitch stream down my face, my dark work will begin. I will open one of my six mouths, and I will sing the song that ends the Earth."

Loved that Lovecraftian threat.
|
G4 is in it's final hours right now and NBC is sending it off a couple episodes of Top Chef and Half Baked to take it into monday morning.
Kinda sad, figured there would be a special or two to say goodbye. :wavesad: |
Not good at all, not fair.
|
When X-Play was gutted G4 was useless to me. Video killed the radio star and all that.
|
Was just searching to see if and where Morgan Webb will pop up at next
|
Just started watching The Shield, really liked the pilot, got the rest of season 1 on the D/L.
|
Isn't it on Netflix?
|
nah
|
Futurama got canceled again

And yet Big Bang Theory perseveres.
No justice in this world. |
It had a great run and resurrection and four movie specials. I say it did all it can do.
|
Still 13 new episodes over the summer before cancellation, though.
Who knows, maybe Netflix will pick it up. :shifty: |

Netflix is going to drop around 1800 videos from their streaming library during May. Several of their licenses with studios and companies expire next month and won't be renewed.

|
Damn.
|
Getting close to dropping my Netflix service if they can't keep hold of all these licences.
How's Hulu or any of those competitors? |
Hulu is great for tv shows. Not much of a selection on movies
|
Netflix had the best of both worlds. TV and Movies all under 1 roof.
Hulu got TV but sparse on the movies. Vudu got the Movies but no TV. Aren't their any other services around? |
Amazon is another although not sure how big or small their streaming service is compared to those. After that its mostly the studios or companies themselves providing their own stuff (ex. Warner Bros streaming service, South Park Studios, etc).

Riddick's still the scariest good guy ever.

14 years later, the sequel for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is in the works. Imagine that.
|
lol Wow.

I got Netflix just for the convenience of browsing instant movies instead of choosing something and waiting for it to download, then copy over to my PS3 etc. Also they have a lot of older movies (especially on the US version) that are hard to find to download on the internet.
Anyways, as for Arrested Development, that'll be splashed over the torrent sites on day 1, so I wouldn't get Netflix for anything more than convenience. |
I got the Netflix free month trial this week for Arrested Development. It might just be the UK version but there's not an awful lot of stuff in the movies section. Seems to be about 4 or 5 recent films for each genre and then the rest is just B movies, with the occasional cult classic in there. Looks alright for tv shows though.
It goes out of sync really quickly for me as we'll if I'm watching anything over 90 minutes or so. Probably just cause its on a netbook so it's not really powerful enough to stream anything longer. Won't be extending it after the trial period anyway. |
A mate of mine was telling me how he'd managed to change his settings on his UK account so that he could access the US playlists. Should probably ask him how it did that.
|
Yeah a mate of mine mentioned the same to me but I can't be bothered getting it anyway really.
|
if you change your mind, it literally takes 30 seconds, just a case of changing the DNS settings (on consoles anyway) crazy how much more content the Yanks have
|
I had the US version running by paying a few quid a month to Unblock US, so it bumped my total Netflix cost from £5.99 to about £8-9, worth it though for all the extra TV series and crap 80s b-movies.
|
it's free, you just have to change the DNS settings every now and again
|
If it's that simple I might give it a crack.

if you're on 360, I'm not sure, you'd have to look it up. If you're on PS3, just go to the connection settings, go through the process of setting up your connection again and manually enter the US DNS settings, which you pretty much just have to type "US Netflix DNS settings" into Google to find
|
in fact there's a vid on YT from a guy that keeps the settings updated/valid

really enjoying season 3 of The Killing right now, it's so much better now it's not following the Danish version and doing it's own thing.
I'm not knocking the original series at all, it was great in it's own right, it's just a lot of the more European story elements didn't translate well to an American setting. |
Awww yeah. Independence Day 2 is a go.
|
I simply can't imagine how ID4 would continue. It was very definitively a one-shot if I ever seen one.
|
Naw, I always wanted to see a sequel. Like "Yay, we defeated the aliens!! ...... But our planet is half destroyed..... what do we do now?"
It will most likely just be another alien attack, though. |

This movie may make me cry, idk. |
Need some help. I'm looking for the original SNL "landshark" sketch, but all I find on youtube and dailymotion are recreations or spoofs.
Any help would be appreciated. |
Try hulu
|
The Land Shark sketch came out in the late 1970s, long before the Internet. I highly doubt you'll be able to find it on YouTube or Hulu.

Renewal day for TNT. Rizzoli & Isles, Perception, Falling Skies, and Major Crimes all got picked up for another season.
|
Just watched Independence Day again for the first time since probably the early 2000s, still a good film, although I noticed some homages to Aliens and Airplane and probably a lot more I never knew about.

Teaser for a new JJ Abrams venture. Dunno. |
Hmm
|
Hate it when Kalyx makes "Hmm" posts where he just says "Hmm".
At least type out something like "Interesting" or "I don't know what to think about this" and so on. |
Hmm

A&E cancels The Glades after 4 seasons.
Fanbase is pissed off. Season finale a few days ago left off with a good cliffhanger. |
