Nice writeup! (Though Dave killed five of the six, not three of the four tongue )

Anyway, I think I will actually have time on monday for a session, so if you guys are keen on it being weekly, I can do that!

Orphan Black season 3!
Allison is consistently the most joyfully entertaining aspect of Orphan Black. Don't get me wrong, I love the rest of the show and characters, but Allison/Donnie, Allison/Felix, Allison/whoever is the best. I genuinely would watch an Allison spin-off. For serious.

To be honest, I would also watch a spin-off which was nothing but Helena reviewing food.

God damn, Tatiana Maslany is so fucking good.

I liked it, it made me laugh. And it entertained me (I avoided every single trailer so that I could be surprised for once, ya know?).

You know what's interesting? All this talk of "he had to shoehorn in this and that and t'other" but really, it didn't really seem that way to me. Sure, there was the infinity-gem / mindstone but that was dealt with rather quickly, and what else was there?

I'm sure that between Joss and Marvel, there was a long laundry list of things that they wanted/needed to be in the movie, but since we knew that going in, I just kinda... corrected for that beforehand, so it didn't really bother me.

I do agree that Avengers 3 is gonna be astoundingly fucking hard to write and direct though. (In an ideal world, they'd let Shane Black do a 22 Jump Street on it, but I'm sure that only me and, like, four other people would enjoy that).

I'll be honest, I played it at one-and-a-half times the speed just so I didn't have to spend more than an hour on it. It's amazing though. It's basically Surrogates, but for Star Wars, and whatever-the-hell the Italian equivalent of coffee&bagels is.

I just wanna say: I'm sure everyone's bored of hearing things described as "gritty" all the damn time, but one of the most pleasant surprises about Daredevil is that Matt Murdock is almost constantly smiling. It's nice.

SD, I've added you (apparently?) to google plus, so I think that should be fine?

Indeed!

I'm 8 episodes in and am very impressed. As television, it stands on its own as good television. And as a superhero thing, it really doesn't feel like it's treading over the same ground. So thumbs up smile

'Tis this:

1. Watch movie.
2. Post thoughts and/or discuss with someone else who has previously posted thoughts on said movie.
3. Add a recommended/curated movie to the list if you have already done 2. Briefly give a reason for that movie if you feel like doing so.

Setting: I'm cool with fantasy or sci-fi, but I think I lean more towards fantasy (i think I just want an excuse to use overly-wrought language. forsooth).

System: I haven't played anything like this before. If this is happening, and we have something certain, I'm more than willing to find a rulebook and learn the system smile

Schedule: I am E.S.T. and evenings would be better if it's a weekday. (Or anytime on the weekend).

I am excite!

edit: yeah, the google-hangout system you use for Extended Edition seems like it would work out real well for this.

BioShock: as good as I remember.
BioShock2: even better, and I really enjoyed the final act.

BioShock Infinite: OH MY GOD. This game goes so far and beyond any kind of beautiful I've ever expected from games. GodDAMN. Like, super-wow.

I've seen Evil Dead 2, but I don't remember seeing the original, so I'm up for this.
I'll see if I can come up with an efficient and manageable way to link some kind of publicly-editable document (since I'm sure we're fine with the honour-system here) and a random-number generator, too.

Oh my god. Justified. Ladies and gentlemen, Justified is gonna stick the landing. I can feel it in my bones. Oh my god.

(I mean, uh, yes, this week's episode was certainly a watchable piece of televisual fiction.)
