Cult is on Netflix and I think this might just be the greatest thing I have ever seen. It's literally TV/IV: the TV show.

This is assuming Piers doesn't have to take a leave of absence due to being banged up, which may have something to do with him being moved off that show. He was questioned under caution a few weeks ago, and it's looking (fingers crossed) hopefuly that he'll be made to answer for what was happening at the Mirror while he was editor.

CNN is garbage now, and has been ever since Zucker took over. Everything is "Breaking News" (even BEFORE commercial breaks) and I swear the anchors have gotten stupider. I, sadly, watch a lot of CNN - and the only anchors I can stand on there are Cooper, Tapper, Lemon and sometimes Banfield... Chris Cuomo is their rising star, though... Anyone catch the trailer for Mike Judge's Silicon Valley? http://www.vulture.com/2014/02/trailer-silicon-valley.html Looks amazing.

I wanted to watch it but after like 2 episodes they moved it to another time slot without warning. Which was also the night where my local CW constantly pre-empted stuff for local sports.

The Beavis & Butthead revival was amazing so I'm hoping this is a return to form instead of a repeat of The Goode Family where his contempt for the subject matter gets in the way of the actual humor.

I think he really needs someone like Greg Daniels to help balance everything out. I am really surprised with what we got out of the end of The Office (in a good way) considering how lackluster the couple previous seasons had been leading up to it .

My brother and I are having an argument of which was worse: Dexter season 8 or Heroes season 2. He's firmly in the Dexter camp and I would have agreed with him if not for the Heroes remake reminding me season 2 existed. I even glanced at it on Netflix and god drat. EVERYTHING about it was a huge loving miss after that ok/good S1 finale.

Was it season two with the Mexican siblings and the awful oirish accents? If so then that's definitely the worse of the two.

Yeah, I couldn't even make it past the second episode of that season of Heroes and that was while I still had a lot of goodwill for the show after watching the first season on DVD.

Deadpool posted:This doesn't have too much to do with TV, but Harold Ramis died and my week is ruined. Oh gently caress everything. Is it just a product getting old? Used to be that a celebrity death would kick you in the balls once a year. Now they're loving dropping like flies. What happens next month? Is Larry David going to have a stroke? John Cleese from a cancer we didn't know he had? Or is 2014 really going to stick it in and take Quvenzhané Wallis with a goddamn staph infection?  Guys, you can go watch Ghostbusters, Animal House, Stripes, Groundhog Day, Multiplicity, Bedazzled, or even Analyze This this week, but if you really want to celebrate his memory? Go track down The Ice Harvest. Disgustingly underrated dark comedy; if nothing else, it's easier to pretend that that was his last film.

I refuse to watch Tango & Cash again in the tiny, miniscule chance that maybe it'll turn out that that movie isn't actually the greatest piece of cinema ever made by man like 10-year-old-me thought.

The problem with Jurassic Park is that it was wrong summer of '93 movie to become a mega hit. (the correct answer is Last Action Hero).
