Rob Lowe is to Sam Seaborn as Dean Sanderson is to The Grinder.

I bought his audiobook a few years ago, not sure how much I can be bothered to listen to it now.

You guys are going to talk me into watching Limitless which I might have time for.

Anyone watching Casual? I really like it, although it is depressing as gently caress.
I like it too, it's weird and not really a comedy.

It reminds me a lot of Billy and Billie.

It's really good. He's honest and holds himself accountable for a lot of poo poo.

Anyway, there's a trailer for 11.22.63 out and I wish anyone other than James Franco was starring in it (And I usually like him).

Tonight is the season (probably series) finale for The Player. They got word that the production was shutting down while filming so it's up in the air whether or not there will be any closure.

40 minutes in the shot cuts to a blank screen. Wesley Snipes walks in front with a clipboard. "Alex finds his wife, Cassandra was evil but got foiled, I'm a vampire. Thank you." Roll credits.

The US version of Life on Mars did something almost exactly like that. They had just enough notice to throw something together at the very last minute but they didn't actually have the budget for it.

Well, in retrospect it was what they were building toward and wasn't completely out of left field. It probably would have worked better if they had the time to actually set it up.

Z Nation season 2 is definitely not as tight as season 1, but it's still crazy enough to be the best zombie show on tv.

I think the CGI, while spotty, is the least of that film's problems. You also really can't judge CGI from trailers. Some of those effects looked okay, and some looked really, really, bad. But the movie looks like it has the dumbest plot and characters you could have for a movie like that, so even if the effects in the trailer are unfinished, it's still going to be loving terrible.

I hope it's a secret Stargate movie.

At least the setting looks visually interesting even if the individual CGI bits seem unfinished or just uninteresting on its own.

But yeah basically it seems like it's poorly written popcorn flick if it involves two gods going at it, one wins, then two kids go and help the god who lost. Sounds like the plot to a Bay-era Transformers movie. And in the same regard it seems like a CGI action movie vehicle more than anything else.

The confrontation on the top of the carrier at the end of season 2.

Characters are facing each other, and yet their shadows all point away from each other. The only possible location for the sole light source is right between them, which is a problem given it's outside on a sunlit day.

E: Oops, I misremembered slightly. The shadows just always face away from the camera, and the compositing just looks awful in general.
