Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Watched Crazy Stupid Love and X-Men First Class last week, enjoyed both.

Really surprised at how good First Class was. Had low expectations for the movie based on the 1st set of previews, but First Class is one of the better comic based movies I've seen.
 
Anyone still reading the Game of Thrones books? I have 200+ pages left to read in Book 3 and

 at some of the stuff that has gone down in this book. I enjoyed the 1st two books but this is the best one in the series thus far. Can't wait to see how these events translate to the TV show.

Finally picked up the 1st 3 seasons of Breaking Bad. Gonna try and knock them out by the end of the year and see if the hype for this show is justified.

Really understand that it was from 1988, not 1998. The animation is

. The movie itself is like Blade Runner and Equilibrium mixed with The Warriors and A Clockwork Orange. The story is hard to describe, but so much of the film is just iconic to me. The pills, the bike, Kaneda and Tetsuo. It makes what's happening with the remake so much more disgusting.
It's pretty epic for what it is and feels like they fit 2 or 3 movies into one (like X-Men: First Class), but it holds up really well after so long. Watch it...if only to get the references in that one South Park episode.

^^^ Speaking of GOT, I saw on HBO this weekend that season 2 is in production right now. They showed a few scenes, glimpses of new characters, etc. Looks like it should be good.

To you guys who are readin GOT, I've read the first book, but did so after I watch the whole first season of the show. Should I read the second book now or wait to watch the 2nd season of the show first again?

I couldn't wait. I haven't ever read such an expansive "fantasy" book before so watching the show first helped alot.

But now that I get what its all about I think it's better to read the books first because then you get to find out how they will adapt it. I mean seriously alot of this stuff just doesn't seem filmable. (is that a word?)

plus after watching the first season my imagination doesn't work with the characters already introduced. They look like the actors to me and nothing can change that even if they are described a bit different in the book.

Dub, this quote right here sucks man.  Sucks.  I know it's not trendy but if you read the Star Wars novels that are out, they would DESTROY what you're reading right now.  And it's not even close.  Ask someone that has read Timothy Zahn's novels that involve a character named Thrawn and they will tell you that stuff is some of the best "fantasy" work ever done.  It is WAAAAAY more expansive, and I can only dream about it ever being put into a movie form.  Which is exactly why I hate Lucas so much.  I know everyone thinks Star Wars fans are nerds, but Game of Thrones ain't exactly Jay Z unrealeased mixtapes man.

Alright, draft board set up in the OP.  I put it near the top so you don't have to scroll all the way down as much.  So you can start lookin at who you want, which characters to ride with, etc.


I believe I have a copy of Warrior and Cowboys and Aliens for the weekend, lookin forward to checkin those out.  Hopefully I don't go broke on Black Friday from all the stuff I plan on pickin up.
