Man, if you have any affection for 'Live and Let Die' don't read the book. I decided to read all the Bond books a couple of years back and goddamn. I mean, I know the whole 'British author from the mid century' thing is basically the viewpoint to remember when reading the Bond books but holy poo poo man.
Yeah, I read Casino Royale and the next couple and was pretty :catstare: at just how sociopathic and misogynistic Bond is. It gave me a new respect fore the Daniel Craig bond, because it is very much the closest to the real character that any actor has come. The books are pretty much Mad Men, if the guys all had literal licenses to kill.

I watched Clive Barker's Nightbreed last night. Not very good, but I also didn't enjoy Hellraiser, so there you go.
Night Breed is sort of the epitome of 80s horror, and it may take a bit of nostalgia to appreciate it, I think of it sort of like The Lost Boys without any humor at all. Hellraiser is a much better story and movie, especially if you go through all of them and start finding out all the exposition stuff about the fiction's universe. I always kinda wanted more Nightbreed for the same reason - the first movie wasn't amazing but I liked the world and wanted to spend more time with it.

I believe you will find that Bunraku is not a kung-fu movie but instead a musical, where the singing has been wholly replaced by punching dudes in the face real hard.

it's also really incredibly good, definitely watch it.
The narrator in Bunraku was Mike Patton, also known as the lead singer of Faith No More. And the fight scenes were totes intended to evoke Gene Kelly dance scenes.

I liked Bunraku because I went in assuming it was gonna be Yojimbo/Lucky Number Sleven with a cast of a bunch of great actors and Five Thousand Fingers of Dr T, Dr Seuss-esque sets and action scenes. I did not leave disappointed.

Noah is up. Honestly, it's refreshing to see one of the more unbelievable stories of The Bible portrayed in a way that makes sense.
I love that the movie is basically about killing off all the friendly nonhumans from The Neverending Story. The animal Noah saves in the opening, was totally a luck dragon, and I was waiting to see the rock guys pull out tricycles. It was a ludicrously puerile movie though, bad guys are bad and you know it because they just flat bite the heads off of cute little animals and eat them raw. Also you can gauge Noah's sanity entirely based on his haircut in each scene.

I did LOL at the "I'm so horny I will go to the dark side!" subplot though.

I liked the Homesman too. I just wish I didn't watch it right before bed. I'll check out The Road and get back.

I'm not a huge Anthony Bordain fan - I dunno what it is about him. It's like he really wants to sell himself as both a foodie elite and a salt-of-the-earth figure. Jury's still out for me. But I do love his The Layover series. Really gives a cool insight from locals of each place he goes about the types of places and food you might look for if you visited for a day.
Bourdain really is just your classic line cook who climbed up the ladder like any dope-smoking kid. It's an amazingly common story, I know a few people who are basically Bourdain/Zimmern while they were at the peak of their partying days, and give them another few years in a high-end kitchen and the desire to throw a food show idea at a network exec, and they could do Bourdain's job pretty much entirely.

I'm not saying he's a hack, it's just that he's the essence of what most non-snob food culture is about : loving both the creation and consumption of really good food, and living fast while you do it. It's true hipster foodism, and not being a "foodie".. It's the punk rock of cooking.

I finally got around to watching eXistenZ on Netflix and I was impressed. I've heard it compared to The Matrix, but I don't think that's totally accurate. It's closer to Inception than anything else (well, now that Inception out).
Most people who compare poo poo to The Matrix, don't actually get that it is supposed to be about more than "people in computer sci fi land in black clothes, doing some action movie things." You can even remove two or even three factors from that, and most of the people I've met will not have gone farther into the matrix than that.

Except for the ones who broke the fourth wall for the first time, watching The Matrix... They might become Dark Enlightenment PUAs.

Yeah, I gave up on it a few episodes in when it was first airing, but when S1 got up on Netflix I ended up pretty hooked. There's some stuff worth watching before the Winter Soldier stuff, but I can't remember which episodes. Pretty much any of the ones with Bill Paxton in them are watchable at a minimum, though.
All the Bill Paxton stuff is during the lead-up to the finale, not during the first half of the season. The first half-dozen episodes are important though because you might otherwise not understand where a couple characters came from, or how Deathlok's story, for instance, is super sad because he just gets pulled between two forces until he's torn apart - repeatedly. And you've gotta spend those early days in tahiti!

I just spree-watched through season 1 again to start on season 2, and the season finale shocked me because I forgot just how melancholy it was. Yeah, you get everything you want.. And it's hollow. And you don't know what to do.

I watched the first two episodes of Bojack and it didn't really catch me. Parts made me laugh, but I don't feel compelled to watch the rest of it. Is it a show that you need to watch all of for it to click? Or is it just not my speed? Should I give it a few more episodes before I throw in the towel?
The shift from weird animal comedy into serious drama with lots of fun background detail and good writing, is subtle. If you haven't figured out why you want to watch after episode 7 you probably won't miss much except for the tie ins with other Netflix shows, and heavy poo poo about depression here and there between shots of J Peterman in Cordovlira. I'm not sure if season two was closure or opening for another season,compared to the finale of season 1 season 2 finale was totally different. It isn't a downer as much as an empathic roller coaster.

The Barber was pretty good. I fuckin' looove Lance Henrikson (who I hadn't realized was a major role in it,) and I kept getting it mixed up with that Adam Sandler movie about him being a magical jew who shines shoes or some crap - I guess Sandler was jealous of Bagger Vance?

Fun movie, couple twists I didn't expect, satisfying ending. I wanted it to go differently but it was almost as satisfying as what I'd built up in my head halfway through.

If you're in the mood for Mad Max meets Z Nation then Australia made the movie for you: Wyrmwood road of the dead. I liked it. First rule of low budget is keep the characters doing something other than talking and they followed it. The pace is steady, there are some elements of dark humor, plenty of blood and the make up is adequate. And they manage a new twist on the fast/slow zombie issue. On Netflix.
