I am generally skeptical of the whole turning old TV shows into movies thing, but this one looks promising. Very promising. Bias alert, I was a fan of the show.


Best change: Turning Higgins from a rather snooty Englishman into a kick-ass former MI-6 agent. And a woman to boot.

So now we can have Magnum Higgins Shippers :3

(Screams of "my g_d, Magnum!!!" from the next room and "plow my sugar cane")

Hey, it's the 21st century. We would probably have Magnum-Higgins shippers even if they were both male. Or both female.:cool:

That said, my greatest fear is that the writers will be the ones doing the shipping. I want them as rivals swapping witty retorts, not f*** buddies swapping body fluids. Though if they can manage both, I could handle it.
 
i like it when things happen organically in a show
due to interplay between our world and the world of the show
 
i found out there is another Lars von Trier out

and my multiple selves r in conflict

one was turned off immediately by 1 scene in the trailer

another is daring me to watch it
(my Inner Contrarian points out one reviewer who noted it was a black comedy making fun of us who view Serial Killers as somehow highly sophisticated and very smart etc by presenting a boring and rather deluded and very ignorant loser which i think is closer 2 the truth)

i have watched most of Antichrist and i found it to tickle my Inner Surrealist but is too disjointed :p

my fav is Doghouse; it totally fits with my ideal Play, built around Bertold Brecht minimalism. no need for costumes or fancy sets, trusting in the intelligence of the audience

That is my impression of Hannibal Rising ... as a resolution of fascism that appears locked up and periodically escaping as in Silence of the Lamb ... the story behind the story is going on quietly ...

Some find these brute forces and distasteful stories as if fascism wasn't ... thus setting up the multiple personalities for borderline incidents ...

A foul myth that must be followed to the end (continuing) as well as digging into the origins that appear to have nothing for a beginning ... agreeable with my grandfather's attitude that love is nothing or sometime negligible in some processes ... previously known as absent thoughts! Derelict in thought?

There is an particular establishment that believes knowledge is evil ... as interfering with free will to do whatever!

Is that toxic or just root of oxymoronic ...

I don't know. Movies that team up a bunch of old stars are a mixed bag. Looks good on paper but a lot depends on the script. Family Business, which teamed up Sean Connery, Dustin Hoffmann, and Matthew Broderick as three generations of a family coming together for a heist, comes to mind. The actors are good but that just shows how meh the script is. It ends up entertaining but hardly "Hell, Yes!" material. Basically, another so-so movie that Connery managed to salvage by sheer force of personality.

I haven't heard "scariest ever" but I have heard it is damn good and original for a current horror movie.

That'll b tough to do imho
The Exorcist is still among the scariest
(Last King of Scotland I think is still my top horror movie...)
Just saw the trailer for Heredity...I might watch it as some of the team also made a period mystery movie I adored, The VVitch (2015).
Most horror movies aren't imho; they r either "monster/slasher of the week" or grossoutfests...I guess the ultimate horror movie would b one that drove the audience crazy lol
 
Jodie Foster in One of those Work Days in a Futureworld hospital for criminals (a la Bladerunner or Heavy Metal Magazine)

Watch a terrorist's failed attempt at flying a plane into a building because in the Future, all buildings are ARMOURED lol
