KK 3,307 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I just found the direction and structure much more dramatic than the still pretty damn good Wall sequence. I've not felt cinematic insurmountable odds and impending DOOOOOOOM like today's events since LotR.The threat is real!Indeed. I found this scene far more impressive than the siege of the Wall, which was quite a spectacle on its own, but just didn't have the raw power of this sequence. Makes me think of old PJ's best, like Helm's Deep. Brilliantly choreographed.The part where the people outside are screaming and then fade away is chilling.The shot of the Others watching from the cliff gave me the chills.

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 That cliftop shot was indeed spectacular, meant to mention that earlier. Even LotR didn't have anything so threatening for its Ring Wraiths, which it really ought to have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Just finished season 1 of Silicon Valley. Overall a pleasant and likeable show... but that gloriously elaborate dick joke in the finale episode is legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurmm 91 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Yeah it's from HBO. I wouldn't say it's unmissable but it's a likeable show, one that you can just sit down and relax watching after a hectic day at work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFYy3oEnzVg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Silicon Valley is great! The final ep of the first season needed that extended dick joke to really bring everything together and deliver a big extended comedy bit instead of the series of small ones they'd been doing to that point.Season 2 is just as good as the first, its a really terrific show with a great cast. Only bummer is the real-life death of one of the funniest actors on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'm currently watching Amazing Stories on netflix because it's leaving the library come july 1st. It's ok, but it's definitely an 80s style TV show.A couple of silly episodes, a couple of good ones. But half of the fun is seeing who helmed the episode, who starred in it, who had cameos in it, and who scored it.Some top names in every department have contributed to the series, Spielberg himself having directed two episodes, with Johnny scoring.But what's with the framerate on netflix, it's like 12 fps. After a while I don't notice it anymore, but still a bit annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's bang out of order that things "leave the library" in Netflix. Until the streaming companies sort their shit out properly with the distributors they're never going to be considered a mainstream competitor to satellite and cable services.

Wojo 2,453 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I've already bought two TV series because of their removal from Netflix. Maybe that's their plan. I've been waiting for almost four years for the Stargates to return, but I'm not buying them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightscape94 965 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I know a lot of folks have basically given up on the Wachowskis at this point, but did anyone watch, or plan on watching, Sense8?

First 3 or 4 episodes of the first season were brilliant but we're now on about epi 10 and the laughs are drying up more and more with each one.When does Community get good again?Odd, I don't see any drop in quality so far. In fact now that the characters have been fully established and we know what makes them tick, the joy of the show is how the jokes revolve about what these characters do to each other. at time these jokes are predictable but in a good way, almost as we as viewers are in on the whole thing, while other times they're gleefully unpredictable. I also like that the funny on display is pretty diverse - there's dumb (but funny) stuff and the more sophisticated kind too. Not every ep is great of course - the one with Jack Black wasn't very good I thought, but on the whole I like this a lot. And Abed's Batman is hilarious!
