The Lone Ranger was two good action scenes book-ending one boring hour of shite.

I still like it but in my defense, I had just watched The Lone Ranger and Jack The Giant Slayer in the same day, so....

I like Elysium. I was watching it thinking 'people think this is bad?' It's not fantastic or anything but I had fun with it.

Shaun of the Dead was actually Edgar Wright's second feature length movie. His first, A Fistful Of Fingers is rubbish by most accounts. ( it was released theatrically briefly in the UK and reviewed in magazines and TV shows at the time so it counts).  *runs away*

Catching up with this thread, one thing is clear- I don't think I'll ever understand the love The World's End has been getting.  This has puzzled me all year big_smile

I am still working on my definite top 5 of 2013. smile

I think I am the only one who watches Arrow (though it's DC, so maybe Owen does, I dunno). Sherlock is a possibility once I catch up on the entire series.

We'll do commentaries one day, we're just not quite there yet smile

Jimbo-I have no idea. We do like to encourage guests to come up with some and if we can, if we know anything about the subject, we may do it. We are on a break till January at the moment so there is time to think of one.

Doc Sub- We have those episodes (best/worst) recorded already, sorry smile

Lethal Weapon 2 doesn't but Die Hard 2 does smile

I listed my favourites in the EE podcast Owen mentioned above but I thought I'd mention some I didn't get the chance to that I loved as a kid-

The Real Ghostbusters- Xmas Marks The Spot

One of my all-time favourite cartoons and this Christmas-based episode is a fun little twit on a well-known Christmas story.

A Pink Christmas

I love the old Pink Panther cartoons and this is one of my favourites. I won't say too much about the story but I like that it isn't all 'life is wonderful, everyone is happy'.

The Christmas Raccoons

Everyone here knows I love 80s cartoons and one of my all-time favourites is The Raccoons. This is the very first special that started it all.

He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special

Now, let me defend this choice.....it is absolute shit but I have added it here more as a curiosity than an actual recommendation. Regarded as one of the worst Christmas specials ever made, nevertheless, it is oddly fascinating to watch.  The cartoon itself wasn't perfect but they take so many liberties here it is unbelievable.

Whatever you do, avoid the ALF Christmas special it is one of the most depressing things I have ever watched.

Yesterday, I watched The Lone Ranger, Jack the Giant Slayer and Elysium, in that order. I liked the last film most and felt TLR had two great action scenes and a middle hour of nothing.

I've seen the film and watched most of the first season of the show, I just couldn't get into it. If I had seen it all and I hated it, then yes, that would have been interesting smile

Personally, I haven't seen much, and continue to be the outlier in terms of liking Star Trek Into Darkness.

I like the first hour, forty. That's the length of some movies, is that good enough? big_smile
