I started watching Hemlock Grove, a Netflix Original Series. I managed to get two episode 5 and I have lost interest. It's about teenagers who are weird beings. Examples are the usual, werewolf and others. They have not mentions vampires, but have mentioned other weird beings. None that I was familiar with. The show never really gave me enough to stay interested. It kept giving me things to think about, without actually going anywhere with them. I suppose they would, if I continued watching....

Just watched Star Trek into Darkness. I'm not sure what I was expecting. I liked it. I haven't watched many of the episodes, but I'm fairly certain a few things were switched. Still enjoyable.

I just started the anime Attack on Titan and it is amazing!  Just so everyone knows xD

I keep seeing the manga of that in my Amazon recommendations. Never watched/read it though.

The Dictator was Brüno with a beard. it had all the same plot points, guy thinks he's the best, finds out he's not, depressed walking around, finds love interest, changes himself just a tinge to win her. it just had different jokes.

I know nothing about the manga, but I am up to date with the anime and I am loving it.

I'm about halfway through season 3 of Heroes. It's better than I expected, given how everybody tells me the show gets worse at it progresses. If nothing else, it's an improvement over season 2.

From what I know of that show, it's only because Bryan Fuller comes back.

 

Bryan Fuller makes everything better.

Finished season 3 a short while ago. It was okay, but the finale felt lacking (though not as bad as season 2's finale). There just wasn't enough of a climax, and the stakes didn't feel as high as they should have been. Oh no, they have to stop Sylar from shaking the president's hand!...? Because it will give him unprecedented levels of power and influence?

 

I'm a little curious to see what they do with those kinda-cliffhangers in season 4...but I'm also pretty sure I don't care anymore. If I ever recommend the show to anyone, I'll be one of those people who says to just watch the first season and leave it at that.

yeah I actually binge wathed all of heroes relatively quickly and just gotta throw this out there, Sylar is the only character in the series that really showed any depth as an actor.

Orphan Black!

[Vicious Parker]

Saw Man of Steel.

 

Not bad at all.

 

Though... it could have used about nine dozen fewer "Battlestar Galactica Zooms." If you don't know what I mean, it's where the camera starts far away, zooms in really close, and then has to refocus itself. I think it was used for every other shot in this movie.

 

And I wish Zach Snyder would just admit that all he really wants to do is make video games.

I just watched Batman: Dark Knight Rises

The oooold Simpsons. I was never a fan of it, but my best friend insists that it's wonderful, so I thought I would try to appreciate it's... qualities. So far, it's fine. Not great, but interesting. I like how it subtly tells it how things really work at times without the unbearable toon style of South Park.

The oooold Simpsons. 

Old as in how old?

 

I will admit anything season 1~3 is pretty much an acquired taste, but season 3 has a few great gems in it. Seasons 4~6 are the height of that show and are the best. 7~9ish/10ish are of various quality and sees the obvious decline of the show. 

 

EDIT:

Also rewatching Archer annnnd Wonderfalls.

 

Wonderfalls isn't as good as I remember it being. It's very...corny at times? But Jaye is wonderful, and Lee Pace is always the best, I really wish the show wasn't canceled.

Malcolm in the Middle on Netflix. Forgot how funny Bryan Cranston was on this show, easily his character or Francis are the best parts of the show.

[Kyle]

I was bored today, so of course I watched a movie, it happened to be Warm Bodies, I regret watching it so much.

[Phalanxman]

Old as in I'm on season 2 epi 1 right now.

God.

 

Season 1 is pretty terrible. It has a certain charm that saves it a little, but I never watch that or season 2 (which is better, but not by a lot).

[Kamau]

Just finished season 1 of Orphan Black.

 

Sooooooooo good.
