nfreeman Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Now that school is out, teach/coach for a living, I can have a Game of Thrones marathon. Don't watch a lot of television during school year. Looking forward to experiencing Game of Thrones seasons 1 - 6. Hope it's as good as everyone says it is. Whoa. That is really going to be a major binge. Enjoy. It's a great show. One suggestion: if you like the first season, I'd recommend reading the books so that you're more or less caught up to the show (but not ahead of the show). Quote
Drunkard Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 I recently bought LOTR trilogy on blu ray at Target for $15. Think I'm going to watch it tonight, have never seen it. Don't do it, man. I did this like 10 years ago or so when I used to sand sheet rock for a living and we were out of work for a few straight days because it was raining so hard and it was so damp that the houses the mudders were finishing were taking forever to dry. Each movie is like 3 discs that are each 3 hours or some nonsense like that. By the time I was done my emotions ranged between total and complete apathy towards the entire series and wanting and shove the stupid Frodo/Froto guy into the pit of fire myself. To this day I refuse to watch even a single minute of anything LOTR related, despite the fact that I still binge watch things on a regular basis. Quote

Take it you're not in to fantasy movies? ;) LOTR is considered by many as a once a generation. Return of the King won 11 Oscars. Edited May 25, 2017 by GoPre Quote

Oscar's can suck it! But still, I do love all 3 LOTR movies. But I also love the mocking of LOTR movies in Clerks 2. Quote

I thought the movies were okay, but you are right about Frodo. I don't know what bugs me more, Frodo looking concerned in LOTR or Jodie Foster looking concerned in Contact. It's a tie. Throw them both in the lava pit. Quote

Everyone knows the best Trilogy is actually Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness. Hail to the King Baby! Edited May 25, 2017 by Drunkard Quote

The original one is arguably the worst one because it's hardly funny. His hand doesn't even turn evil so you don't get any chainsaw hand awesomeness. I highly recommend the other 2 as well as his show on Starz. Funny as hell and an awesome soundtrack (especially if you like 70's rock). Quote

Drunkard Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Who doesn't like 70's rock. And I really liked Bruce on Burn Notice. Burn Notice was great. He was awesome on Jack of All Trades, My Name is Bruce, and Bubba Hotep as well. Nothing beats his new show, Ash vs Evil Dead though. It's everything I could hope for. The only way it could be better would be for there to be even more of it (more episodes, longer episodes, etc.). I can't wait for the 3rd season to start this fall. Quote

shrader Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 Before the belt gets surrendered...did you like The Rock or ConAir? Is there a movie that guy won't sign on for? Wait, now I'm not sure if I'm talking about the Rock or Nick Cage. Quote
ubkev Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 The Rock was awesome and ConAir was okay. You can't just give it up. Please! Fight for it. Please! Quote
Drunkard Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I humbly offer to surrender my bad movie opinion championship belt to you, so long as Qwk approves. I'll take the title of amazing movie opinions. Neither LOTR or Star Wars has a single character that can come close to the awesomeness that is Ash Williams. LOTR - sucks Star Wars - sucks Evil Dead Trilogy - awesome Before the belt gets surrendered...did you like The Rock or ConAir? Con Air was way better hands down. Not only did it have Steve Buscemi in that Hannibal Lector type role, plus awesome peformances by Danny Trejo and John Malkovich, but it's probably the second best Nicholas Cage movie after Leaving Las Vegas.

Wyldnwoody44 Posted May 25, 2017 Report Posted May 25, 2017 I have hope to watch all the Harry Potter movies this summer.... I know nothing more about it than my visits to Universal studios a few times, is it worth it? Quote

Suspend disbelief and give in. It's a lot of fun. Quote
