Yes

[Adam]

Oh and DVR makes all that stuff much more bearable

[Brandon]

no doubt.

i like to cook so i used to watch a bunch of those shows. time is limited these days and those shows got put by the way side.

Both of those shows the producing and editing is so heavy handed it's hard for me to watch . I cringe when they do the reveal on cooks vs cons with the grotesquely forced long pauses and Bobby Flay has so many choppy edits with canned audience reactions to the celebrities making scripted comments. Of the two I can watch Bobby Flay get flayed but in small doses.

Food Channel has completely abused Zakarian, putting him in some of the crappiest shows with bad themes and casts when he belongs in a serious show about fine cooking instead how to make backyard bbq side dishes out of macaroni and squash . 

It's like taking a famous opera singer and have them hosting a Nashville country western singing challenge show with four redneck Co hosts. There is no logical fit.

that's a fair analogy, blarg. zakarian looks like he dines at places that i could never afford. he cooked that way on iron chef, too.

what happened to the Deadwood movie that was "confirmed" by HBO?

[Angel Oracle]

Saw a 2003 movie yesterday for the first time, Hollywood Homicide.    Love those crime movies that mix satire/humor with crime. 

[Blarg]

Saw Arrival today and had a hard time staying awake.

I googled it, and found that the latest news (I think?) was that HBO commissioned a script in Jan of this year.

We haven't heard anything since. Deadwood and its creator (David Milch) have been getting screwed on a regular basis since 2006.

say hello to daphne oz. she's on a show called "the chew" on abc every day at noon.

[Adam]

Chew may cause mouth cancer.

Season 1 of Goliath. Watched it in 3 sittings. Billy Bob was excellent as usual and William Hurt was great as the creepy villain. Not sure how they would work a second season and maybe that's why Amazon has yet to decide on it...but it was well done, fast paced, and worth watching.

[mrwicked]

walking dead. this season seems to be where they finally jumped the shark.

so many random storylines. awful dialogue (the one last night with tara the lesbian was pretty terrible wrt her dialogue).

the negan guy sounds like he was written by a 9th grader.

disappointing. they used to be so good. now they are just getting boring.

They've had that trouble from the beginning. They go through stretches where they do things well and the drama takes over, but the underlying writing has always had issues.

Moana 10/10

This film was freaking fantastic. Disney can't stop hitting them out of the park lately. The Disney studio is on a run that's as good or better than the one that Pixar had when they couldn't miss.

Tangled was when they kinda got their stuff back together. Wreck It Ralph, Big Hero 6 and Zootopia were all great. Hell, even the new Winnie The Pooh film that they did a few years back was great (songs were by the Frozen/Book of Mormon team). It perfectly captured the spirit of the old Pooh stuff as well as how dumb the characters are portrayed to be in the written material.

For a company that was considered to be struggling in the early 00's before buying Pixar, Disney has performed astoundingly well, making spot on acquisitions and vastly improving the quality of in house productions.

i grew up with the little mermaid, aladdin, lion king, beauty and the beast. 

the last pixar movie i'd compare to those was finding nemo. animation in frozen was amazing and so was most of the music, and inside out was pretty damn good. but i couldn't put either up with the ones i listed above, and i don't think it's just nostalgia. 

moana looks great, though. 

 

Here is the timeline between Disney and Pixar.  I think in bold is their better hits, not including Moana.  And Big Hero six should be part of Marvel Animation Studios, if there was such a thing.  I think, if I'm not mistaken and probably are, but Beauty and the beast and Up are the only one's to have been nominated for best picture.

As a kid the Robin Hood movie was one of my favorites 

[Lou]

apologies for the interruption, but can someone please direct me to the hetero "What Have You Watched Recently?" thread? 

[Lou]

I'm pretty sure liking a girl's ass means I'm not afraid of my sexuality, but rather, I'm celebrating it. 

and I don't mean celebrating as in a parade, streamers and hot pants. 

i'm talking shotguns, burgers, beer and camo overalls. 

i love you.
