What about adapting it into a TV series, with each season being a different story from The Silmarillion?

Anything with John Candy, especially Plains, Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck.

Well if makes any of you feel any better, NBC isn't ordering any more episodes (for this season; future is in contention).

I watched the pilot. Didn't really turn my crank, it felt like a rehash of Supernatural (or any other monster of the week tv show) and wasn't all that entertaining doing it. No idea if it got any better.

I actually enjoyed this one. The opening scenes between The Doctor and Clara gave me whiplash after last week, but I appreciated their dynamic this time around. Interesting set-up, decent enough mystery, good production value. And while I would by no means call this episode scientifically watertight, it didn't spit in my face and take my lunch money like Kill the Moon. Not a classic but a solid story. Best of series 8 so far, I think.

Agreed.

In retrospect, I agree calling Clara a bitch is a bit much based solely on this episode, although I'm still not convinced her reaction was entirely justified. I'm also in the "Doctor Who is Fantasy with Sci-fi elements" camp, but they normally acknowledge their shitty science with technobabble or some other device, which they didn't really do here. That was my main problem with the "moon is an egg" idea.

And I also wasn't trying to come off as a dick, either, so sorry if that's the impression you got.

I thought this episode was complete and utter shit. Basically paraphrasing what C-Spin said, but: Blatant disregard for law of conservation of mass, which they didn't even technobabble explain away. Doctor is still a dick, Clara is a bitch, Courtney is annoying, and the ending felt like it was from a completely different episode. I'm sad this is what passes for Doctor Who these days.

I'll probably still watch, but I'm getting really sick of Moffat's bullshit.

Aww man. Dorkman is the entire reason I found out about this wonderful podcast/community in the first place. I wish him a full and speedy recovery, and my thoughts are with him, his family and friends.

I'm in the same boat as you, Sannis. None of the episodes that have aired so far have done anything for me. The only thing to have sparked my interest thus far is the whole "Heaven" concept, but that should be the icing on the cake (and a little less heavy handed imo) and not the only basis to keep watching. Character development is completely nonsensical, and seeing as how that seems to have been the plot basis of most of the episodes so far, I can't even. I like Capaldi, but the odd humourous line can't discount the fact that his Doctor completely unlikable.

And for fucks sake, can we go to a different planet? I can go to Earth anytime I want (hell, I'm there now). I'd rather have relatable characters on an unrelatable planet than vice versa.

So I found some of season 2 to be kind of slow, but I didn't care that much because watching Hannibal cook and interact with everyone else is far more compelling than most of the shit on TV nowadays. But this finale.

Holy fucking shit.

I watched The Union:The Business Behind Getting High a few months back. Canadian made, it explores the illegal marijuana industry in BC and delves into some of the history of why marijuana was made illegal in the first place, although most of its weight is spent on debunking a few common misconceptions about marijuana's negative effects. I found it interesting and informing, but I think it might be slightly biased towards marijuana enthusiasts (someone else should confirm this, though). I believe it's on Netflix (US) and possibly YouTube.

I have to say that I have never even heard of this movie, but I love these 2 actors.
I watched through it just to get a sense of the movie before I listen to the commentary,
and I have to say that the framing of some of the shots in this movie are just fantastic.
Some of the shots In this movie seem impossible, like they really had to jam the camera
into a hole. Reminds me of both an image of Kubrick laying on his back between Nicholson
and a door, or Liev Schreiber in RKO 231 as Welles taking a pick ax to a concrete RKO studio
floor...
I know that when Welles saw the title "Paper Moon" that the director had finally came up with,
Welles told him "That title is so good that you shouldn't even make the movie, just make the
poster", lol

Every time you post, your format suggests to me the writing of poetry.
Alas, your content suggests otherwise, a poem was not meant to be.
As others have pointed out before, your format is distracting.
It makes reading your posts a task which is most exacting.
'tis true conformity at times can be ruinous to ones own identity,
But when it comes to proper writing, it is a most essential entity.
Perhaps I am overstepping my bounds and being a little insulting,
But there is no malice within these words, only humble pleading.
You said previously you write the way you will, there was no stopping thee
But I beg and implore you to understand there is no harm in a little empathy.
By all means, share your thoughts! There is nothing wrong with a little informing,
However, for those touched with OCD, your current format is a little affronting
So please, for all that you and I and everyone hold dear,
Let your words flow freely, there truly is nothing to fear!

So yeah. Not trying to be an asshole or anything, just please consider letting your words naturally flow to the next line.

Uncomposed is rapidly becoming my favourite FIYH commentary. Really dig the discussions. Couple questions: Would it be possible to include instruments to provide examples of what's being discussed? And, somewhat related, could Uncomposed jam sessions become a thing?

I would watch the shit out of this if it were an actual TV show. Good stuff, everyone.
Is there a blooper reel or anything?

Edit: I'm an idiot, didn't see "Making" link when I was on mobile.

I watched Goon for the first time the other day and I quite liked it. If anyone needs to channel their inner Canadian, this is the film to watch. Normally I don't like Seann William Scott but I think he really nails the character he plays and gives him a lot of heart. If you like (rather violent) hockey, vulgar humour, strong characters, or some combination of the three, I'd recommend it. Also, it's sitting at 82% on RT if that means anything to you.

Great discussion here. You both voiced a lot of the problems I had with the series, and some of the things I like about it.
