crocodile 8,012 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Oh I don't know. Zodiac, for all its factual masturbation and gloomy subject, is a surprisingly light-hearted film.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I wouldn't exactly call it "light-hearted", but it definitely uses humor, smartly, to prevent the rest of the film to collapse under the weight of its inherent darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I wouldn't exactly call it "light-hearted", but it definitely uses humor, smartly, to prevent the rest of the film to collapse under the weight of its inherent darkness.Mainly thanks to RDJ from what I recall. True Detective uses humor in the same sense too, though, and it's episodic nature naturally breaks up that overbearing mood (though I personally found it hard to just watch one).

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I haven't seen Zodiac. I find the tone of TD to be closer to Silence of the Lambs, a movie which is nowhere near as cynical and grim as Se7en. I never really got the Se7en comparisons. It's Twin Peaks meets Silence of the Lambs for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Well I finished the latest run through tonight. It really makes me yearn for a genuine, well-crafted Lovecraft adaptation, for the big or small screen. This is probably the closest that anything has come to that so far.Also....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqy18zRDNBc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you have the impression everyone knows about it, then don't add a spoiler warning.That was just a suggestion. You're free to ignore it if you want.

You're free to ignore it if you want.I just figured that anyone who is watching GOT, caught up or not, likely has some idea of what the Red Wedding is, and could act accordingly without me shielding their eyes from a bit of fun. It also doesn't even show what happens, really. You'll have to forgive me for feeling the world has gone a bit spoiler-mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,359 Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Community for me only soared for a short while, sometime around seasons 2 and 3. Beyond that it was really hit or miss, with plenty of brilliant episodes sandwiched between weeks of so-so ones. 30 Rock was fairly consistent for all seven of its seasons. It doesn't set the world on fire but it's always funny and entertaining. I'd recommend Modern Family before either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very different, though. Northern humour. Absolutely hilarious show, two seasons of. publicist possibly knows about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWmdEqwgit4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR2-xA8TXxQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, although Arrested Development can stand proud in recent memory.Community goes strong for its first 3 seasons, where you really grow with the characters. After that, it drops big time.30 Rock is hilarious for its first 3-4 seasons as well. I've been rewatching episodes lately and it still stands strong.

filmmusic 1,828 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Watching currently Star Trek TOS that I got in Bluray, and I'm really enjoying it! Have seen 11 episodes so far.I had never seen it! (when I first saw the film, I didn't know there was a series before that, and i was always wondering, why they all acted as there was something before that we haven't seen!)Has anyone else seen it? any thoughts?
