Hey Eddie...any chance of us ever getting to see a picture of the Balroq burgers? They sounded so epic.

Also your pic isn't working for me, if I right click and open in new tab it works. But it's not displaying in the chat.

EDIT: BTW, whatever it is, it looks delicious... but that may just be because I haven't eaten in almost 30 hours.

Search your feelings Xtroid, you know it to be true.

Totally agree on Speed Racer Phi.

So I just finished the first season of The West Wing (DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!! I'm just about to run down to the library and grab the second season right now.) and I have a couple things...

1) SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! So damn good.
2) Elizabeth Moss and Jorja Fox were so much with the good looking back then. Not to say they aren't now, but yaaaawooowza. Also... Janel Moloney, Marlee Matlin, Allison Smith...Bradley Whitford...the list goes on. Generally a very attractive cast, must be said.
4)Bradley Whitford is all sorts of awesome.
5) SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
6) So... the cult of Aaron Sorkin eh? Watching those behind the scenes features got a little unnerving after a couple minutes.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, for about the first 10 or so minutes of the behind the scenes features on season 1, the cast and crew are all talking about the season and making it and all that jazz. But there's this thread of...like...DEVOTION to the almighty genius of Sorkin permeating the entire thing. Like at one point Martin Sheen literally says "Once I stopped trying to do my own thing and just said EXACTLY what Aaron had written on the page, that's when everything started working. And once I learned that discipline, everything worked perfectly, and I became Bartlet." (Or something in that sentiment at least) and everyone has something to that effect.

@Anyone who knows, is that just a Sorkin thing that follows him around, or was that kind of amped up by the editors of the BTS thing? Cause it got a little cultish by the end there.

/Why yes, I have done multiple 23+ hour days this week.... and just got home from work...and am very tired. Thank you.

Pretty much the only podcast I listen to on a semi regular basis is Mike and Tom Eat Snacks. And occasionally the Roosterteeth podcast.

I'm not a big podcast guy...

So I guess the general mood of this thread at the moment could be summed up as...

+1

Obviously the best thing on TV right now is Community.

Xtroid....once again condensing 3 paragraphs of my random babbling into one gif.

Indeed they are.

(I actually snagged this from John Green's tumblr. So there you go.)

Well... I just lost about 2 paragraphs worth of stuff that I really don't feel like rewriting right now.

So I'll do the short short version.

After watching this several times since it came out, I still really have no idea what to think.

When I started hearing about Mango... I was like 90% sure that trying to a VFX based, live action movie in blender would fall face first into the pavement... it didn't. So...there's that. It is very pretty at times, and it's pretty rough at times too. But seeing as for the most part it looks like a cohesive thing, it's a goddamn miracle.

EDIT: Judging by the rest of the posts in this thread and elsewhere, I may have to move this post to the Unpopular Opinions thread...

If by scale you mean, "How many zombie can we put in a giant pile?"....I hope not.

I definitely think there's a place for a zombie story that happens on a global scale (As the success of the novel, and hype for the movie shows I think). This is just so NOT the way to do it.

I'm not so sure about that actually, if he were setting it in the same place, I would probably agree no hesistation. We've already seen the hometree tribe and the hallelujah mountains, and everything that's to do with the forest part of Pandora, not that I wouldn't love to spend more time there and discover more about the place, but we've seen enough that it would be really hard to recapture that absolutely amazement and engagement with the location.

Now, however, if the rumours are true and Cameron is actually setting Avatar 2 in one of the other tribes, specifically an ocean dwelling one (Cameron and ocean life...never saw that one coming) it's a whole new ball game. Everything we see will be something new and amazing and fascinating. And if they can pull it off nearly as successfully as they did for Avatar 1. I'm all on board, story or no.

Of course, if he did manage to knock the story and the universe out of the park, it would definitely be contender for my favourite movie of all time.

Sorry...yeah, I'm a huge universe building geek.
