Not sure how you get all that from it, it's very badly acted, badly shot, and really (really) badly written.

Watch Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose or Jose Chung's From Outer Space.

Really about any episode from season 3.

You can't really diss the conspiracy episodes too much because Alex Krycek mostly only appeared in those and he is great.

I watch Danger 5 for the aesthetic and look. The sound design as well is wonderful.

Like the written jokes are hit and miss, but they nail the "joke" of the way its shot and recorded.

Those premises are pretty rooted in the adventure genre though.

Besides the talking dog, which is a gag and not a premise.

I really like alton brown (god I wish netflix still had all of good eats on it. and how it's made.) but after a while I got a bit frustrated at cutthroat kitchen and how people got legit hosed over in unrecoverable ways a large chunk of the time

Its all worth it for the rare moments when you think someone has gotten so incredibly hosed over like that and has been hit with all the hindrances, but yet still comes out on top.

I just don't see how you could dislike Dredd unless you hate the entire genre it's operating in or something.

I think it was OK, so I don't dislike it. I just don't see what makes it more interesting or well done then... well actually interesting or well done action movies. I appreciate some of the stuff it does, like actually keeping Urban in the helmet the whole movie, though.

Stoicism and emotionless are two different things. Being stoic is suppressing and hiding emotions (or the philosophical poo poo too). Being emotionless is to not have those emotions. You might as well assume he doesn't have a penis either, since Driver didn't actually pull it out and dangle it in front of the camera.

That is actually a good point. The Driver doesn't have a penis.

I didn't know Stone directed Talk Radio, that's a fantastic film. Wall Street is also amazing.

Those two movies are amazing, but they don't fit into the Oscar genre.

I definitely love them though. Kingdom of Heaven is still my favorite.

You are suppose to be imagining the world where any movie could win an oscar, don't get caught up in the oscar genre.

That means... they have already won.

Cole's monologues are suppose to be goofy and him loving with the other characters. His character acts like a parody of anti-heroes because the only way he can cope with the horrible poo poo he has to deal with on his job, is to try to delude himself into the bullshit he is saying. Because that is much easier to do than to say the stuff he really believes in the face of THE HORROR he sees on a daily basis.

Why would you give us an update on your thoughts halfway through the second episode, and then say "I dunno things might change" instead of just giving us your thoughts when the episode finishes like a normal sensible rational human being you god drat weirdo.

Because I was so bored with the episode I didn't feel like giving it my full attention. And I've already shut it off, so you won't hear my thoughts on the rest of the episode.

I've only seen pieces out of order of the Transformers movie. I went to a friends house, and he has the worst ADD possible, and he basically fastfowarded and rewound through the movie skipping to all the parts he liked. I haven't watched it after that on purpose, because I like it better that way.

Oh my god just imagining this is driving me up a wall.
