You might actually learn something from the British Kitchen Nightmares, whereas the US version is a textbook scrub-tier reality show with formulaic plots and ultra drama sound queues created as an assault on attention spans greater than 10 seconds.

It was a great movie. I was actually surprised by the plot, because I thought letting Billy Bob out of the crazy house was a bad idea, but I was shown the error of my ways. Billy Bob owns in this, and so does the kid who went on to play "guy from the South" in a bunch of movies.

NESguerilla posted:The thing that is so off putting about most food contests is how overly serious/catty they are and the judges are always arrogant turds. Cutthroat Kitchen just seems like people having a good time, and the premise as well as Alton Brown are actually pretty funny. Even if it is edited to be more dramatic than it actually is sometimes. Even when people are insulting each other you can tell they are just loving around 90% of the time. That why, even thought the US version of Masterchef is kinda terrible, I love Masterchef Jr. The kids aren't interested in any of the usual reality TV poo poo and are just there to have fun and learn something about cooking. Also, Gordon is adorable around kids.

You guys should watch Mind of a Chef. Season one is amazing. I haven't watched season two yet but I've heard it's pretty good. Here's a scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikr5wVxzpjk&hd=1

Anne Whateley posted:People love Bourdain, but he always seems more like an embarrassing uncle to me. He did the entire Rome episode in black and white with selective colorization. ART Being an embarrassing uncle is part of his appeal. One of my favorite things about Bourdain is how he will use and abuse the term expat every single chance he gets. Its just goofy how much he seems to love saying it.

I'm Anthony Bourdain, watch as I endlessly bemoan fast food, then go to a greasy spoon and order grilled cheese that looks like it was cooked on an engine block by a garbage monster and proclaim it culinary perfection.

I guess he used to be a snob during the kitchen confidential era, since a lot of people say that, but there's none of that attitude in parts unknown. If anything he tries to take stuffy Fine Dining down a peg.

The Almighty Johnsons is up on netflix now. It's a 'comedy' about a dude who finds out he's Odin form Norse mythology, all his family are also gods, and he's gotta shag up with Frigga for some prophecy. I'm struggling to think of something good to say about it, but I can't stop watching this show. Why does this show have its hooks in me so? I think all the characters are just charming maybe? Also god bless New Zealand tv for allowing full frontal. Leper Residue fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jan 10, 2015 |

Well it looks like now the extended director's cut of Nymphomaniac has been added. Someone tell me if the added stuff is worth watching. Also, kind of laughing at the idea of a "director's cut" of a LvT film. As if he didn't have final cut the whole time? I guess this is more of an "I changed my mind, those scenes should have been there all along" deal.

The show is hella rape-y though. Like, one of the main characters is basically the god of date-rape and also situations like "oh, you made that girl gently caress the creepy guy with your powers and without her consent? lol" type of stuff.

At any rate, pretty curious, probably going to check it out. EDIT: Apparently changes include more scenes in Jerome's chapter, more scenes of Joe talking, an extension of the train scene, an extension of the threesome scene, and the inclusion of an abortion scene. http://www.praguepost.com/cinema/41718-movie-review-nymphomaniac-volumes-i-and-ii-director-s-cut Akarshi fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Jan 10, 2015 |

I was looking at reviews of Star Trek: Enterprise to see what kind of person would rate it highly and came across a gem:a crazy person posted:As someone who believes that there are literally trillions of inhabited planets out there in the cosmic playground of outer space and that much about their origins and destiny (as well as those pertaining to our own planet) have been revealed and documented within the last century in a series of 196 Papers known collectively as The Urantia Papers (or The Urantia Book) that were authored by various Beings-Not-Of-This-Realm who were commissioned to bestow this epochal revelation upon our planet including translating it into the English language (since English is not the native tongue of either our local universe of Nebadon or our superuniverse of Orvonton or of the Paradise-Havona Central Universe of Divine Perfection which is the dwelling place of the eternal God and around which everything else and everyone else revolves in accordance with the superuniverse plans of evolutionary progress and spiritual attainment), I was predictably pleased to watch a TV series that to me asked: Are we really all alone in the universe of universes with this vast enormity of wasted space encircling us like lifeless set decoration or are we rather a part of some gigantic undertaking that is fusing perfection and imperfection and blending science and religion into one creatively unfolding project that is beyond our mortal comprehension to fully fathom and that involves other living beings on other inhabited planets who are in the truest sense, our cosmic cousins? So when I gaze into the starry heavens at the countless suns of space, I marvel at how seemingly insignificant it would superficially appear that our planet is and yet just as many movies highlight the important role that faith plays whether in regards to believing in a Higher Power or believing in the existence of alien beings far removed from our galactic proximity, I do have faith that our sphere (Urantia) is just as precisely administered and just as lovingly fostered as if it were the only inhabited world in all existence. 2 out of 3 members found this review helpful

computer parts posted:Netflix still doesn't have the last 15 episodes or so. I really don't know what the hell Netflix was doing with FMA:B. It had like half the series up, then it uploaded everything but the final 15 episodes for some insane reason. It must have been some weird licensing thing, like how only seasons 12-15 of Law and Order: SVU are up.

This is a silly question, but did Breaking Bad have all the F bombs when it aired? I'm re-watching it and there are quite few but I don't remember there being any on AMC when it aired.

I was pretty excited to see Automata after seeing the preview a few months ago, but I have to say it is pretty meh. It wasn't very focused and the acting was not good. I did like a lot of the designs even if it was mostly just styled after every Ridley Scott sci-fi movie ever.

Whoa, old Robocop is up! This movie is seriously the best. Also, Peter Weller taught for the classics dept at UCLA for a while (he might still, but I'm gone now, so I don't know). We grad students used to keep beer in the lounge fridge, right down from his office, and in the evenings, it was kinda right of passage to have a bit too much to drink and wander down to his office, and if he was there, thank him for his service to Detroit. He was good-humored about it, though I only knew of one person who actually caught him in the office. a foolish pianist fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Jan 12, 2015 |

I've been skimming this thread for a while now and finally went and watched Detention (2011) through Netflix. Haha holy poo poo what? This was a strange, dark, calmly frenetic teen time travel (not)slasher movie. Very fun. I loved the backstory vignettes - oh man. And the Canadian. I really enjoyed it a lot, So, thank you. Haha what a fuckin' weirdo movie.
