Dusty Chalk Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 Amen, Peter. I effing love that show. I would let Joel Kinnaman crash on my couch any time. Fuck yeah. The comraderie between Linden and Holder is just...unparalleled. I fucking love their chemistry. It's the ultimate platonic relationship. They're both damaged and yet raised by the other. And the history of previously having been partners and now...not...and yet they still know how to work together is just fucking...you can't do that in any season one or two of any series. It has to be at least season 3. Fucking brutal emotionally, though, man. Fucking brutal. Every. Single. Fucking. Episode. Is just a roller coaster ride.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 "See, we've been going at it all Copernicus, when we need to be Galileo on this bitch, you feel me? See, Copernicus, he was, you know, like, looking at the sun doing its thing from this middle place, like he was the middle. But then Galileo was all like, 'nah, man, that's conceited.' And then Copernicus started fronting, like...what? What's wrong with your face, Linden? Don't stroke out on me." Damn, just damn.
shellylh Posted June 6, 2014 Report Posted June 6, 2014 I plan to watch OITNB (Orange...) Season 2 tonight. Has anyone seen any of it yet?
Dusty Chalk Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 I plan to start watching it, but doubt I will watch the whole thing tonight. I do know someone on Facebook that has probably finished it, though.
shellylh Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Watched the first two episodes but hubby wants to go to bed - party pooper. 1
blessingx Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 Saw s02e01 tonight. A little heavier and a good start. 1

CarlSeibert Posted June 7, 2014 Report Posted June 7, 2014 We watched that episode (and two others) last night. That Copernicus bit almost knocked me off the couch. The people doing this show are as good as the ones who did 'Deadwood'. Fucking brilliant writing. 1
blessingx Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 Fascinating 20 minute doc - Challenger, Columbia and the Nature of Calamityhttp://nyti.ms/SgvmSM
Dusty Chalk Posted June 8, 2014 Report Posted June 8, 2014 I'll have to watch that later, I still remember that moment -- I was watching it live (on television, but you know what I mean). We watched that episode (and two others) last night. That Copernicus bit almost knocked me off the couch. The people doing this show are as good as the ones who did 'Deadwood'. Fucking brilliant writing. I can't watch more than one episode at a time. It's...just...harrowing... Just for another example, part way through season 2, all that had to happen was for anyone from the Larsen family to show up on screen, and my eyes would start to well up like Pavlov's dogs would start salivating at a bell. And so few people die! They were investigating one murder -- one! -- not just for season one, but for seasons one AND two. And I still feel completely emotionally wrought. Agreed as to the writers -- they are the true stars of the show. They way they molded that concept into Holder's vernacular was just superb. But the direction and the delivery is superb.
jpelg Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Sunday in New York - (on TMC Channel) - Jane Fonda, circa 1963. Assisted by Rod Taylor, Cliff Robertson, Robert Culp, Jim Backus, & an oft-scene stealing Jo Morrow. Not to mention a cameo by Peter Nero himself. Funny look at the hypocritical sexual morality of that time, all set in NYC. What's not to love?
Dusty Chalk Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 How is it? Me: just finished season 3 of The Killing.(apoplexy -- in the sense of stroke-seemingly, spittle-flyingly incoherent pop- and click-ridden indignation) Also: Orange is the New Black
grawk Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 it's good. a lot more fucking than the show really needs, but the story is pretty interesting
Sherwood Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 ^^^ this. 14 year old Tyler would hardly believe it, but there might be such a thing as too much gratuitous sex. In fact, I think that actually is the definition of gratuitous. I do like the show, but I feel it teetering on the brink of losing itself in long, hazy reverie sequences.
Voltron Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 We gave up on Penny Dreadful last night after the absinthe scene. Too much crap thrown into one pot, kind of like True Blood adding more and more monsters and ghouls and spirits and whatnot.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 12, 2014 Report Posted June 12, 2014 Orange is the New Black -- s02e04, "A Whole Other Hole" might be my favourite episode yet. I will never look at "Almost Paradise" as anything other than a song about the urethra.
Sherwood Posted June 14, 2014 Report Posted June 14, 2014 I feel it teetering on the brink of losing itself in long, hazy reverie sequences. And the entire last episode was in gauzy media res. Done with it. There is no time for bad tv when so much of it is so good.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 22, 2014 Report Posted June 22, 2014 Orange is the New Black. Young Rosa doing the "this fucking guy" imitation -- that was fantastic.
Dusty Chalk Posted June 23, 2014 Report Posted June 23, 2014 Just got to episode 10 (second appearance of Laura Prepon) -- fuck. This is such a great show.
shellylh Posted June 23, 2014 Report Posted June 23, 2014 Wish I could watch more OITNB but we keep traveling or having visitors at our house... so frustrating.
