markjazzbassist Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 4-5 episodes into a show called firefly that aired for one season. Main character is pretty funny and dry humor which I enjoy. After the season u think there is a movie as well. Sci fi nerd alert here, not sure if other people watch this stuff. Might give battlestar galactic a chance after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefly is brilliant, a TV travesty it never got more time. Screwed by the Fox bosses I've heard good things of BG, but being a fan of the original I'm a bit nervous I saw The Martian today, I haven't read the book but I found it a bit predictable. Going this evening, looks good in the trailers. Also finally saw Age of Ultron, which was good but not great. I love James Spader though! Then Mad Max yesterday, which is just bat-shit crazy!

markjazzbassist Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Yeah matt I agree mad max was wild. I loved the first 3 so this was enjoyable too. Going to see the Martian next week, I am cautiously optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Flash is back. Arrow is back. Agents of Shield is back. Jessica Jones is out next month. Daredevil 2 being teased now. TV Heaven. If no one has seen Daredevil yet, you're an idiot. It's fantastic. Louis and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Not seen Cradle to Grave, but Car Share was excellent. Gets funnier with every episode, Paul Whitehouse in the last one was brilliant. Not to mention the small matter of Julie Dray as Miss Blondel being....well, I don't have the words, my tongue is on the floor and I want to be thirty years younger!

Lowensda Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 New Force Awakens trailer. I don't mind Star Wars, never jumped aboard the hype train before now but this looks amazing.

It wasn't the films that hooked me, it was the video games (Jedi Knight and Knights of the Old Republic series.). I'm probably in a minority.

markjazzbassist Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Kotor is a great game Louis, in college I used to smoke pot and play that game for hours. I got into the series after watching the first movie and was hooked from the first scene. Read a ton of the books as a kid and am giddy as hell to see the new ones.

Downloaded the Beta just to try it out. Visually, it's beautiful. Plays well too. Only get to play very limited parts (obviously) but what I did play was great.

MikeO Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 I've been putting right "films I've been meaning to watch but not got around to" in the last couple of days. So far; Gravity, Interstellar and Escape Plan. All watchable but nothing I'll be rushing to see again, not a Sly/Arny fan at all so wasn't expecting big things of Escape Plan but I have always had a fascination with prisons so gave it a go.

Interstellar was brilliant in my opinion. Gravity had so many flaws but was very visually impressive (including Sandra Bullock at 50, still smokin' hot!)

Gravity was apparently mind-blowing in 3D; even Mark Kermode, who hates 3D with a passion, said it was the exception to his usual rule. Never seen anything in 3D personally.

markjazzbassist Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Interstellar was brilliant in my opinion. Gravity had so many flaws but was very visually impressive (including Sandra Bullock at 50, still smokin' hot!) agreed interstellar was brilliant and if you read up on it, scientifically accurate. they published 2 white papers after that using the findings from mathematical modeling for the black hole and wormhole. one of the directors attended Cal-Tech for a few years taking theoretical physics courses so they could get the film right (the other nolan, not christopher). they hired rip torn who is a theoretical physicist to assist to make the movie scientifically correct. reading up on all that was fascinating, if only the general public knew all that i think it would have been more succesful.

Never seen anything in 3D personally. I saw it in 3D but forgot that I had 'til I saw your post. I remember being impressed. It wasn't 3D with objects coming out of the screen, it was for depth so that you could tell how far the distance between floating objects. This picture doesn't do it justice: The best 3D effect that I've seen was on a tour of Granada studios years ago, it was a different type of 3D that made images come out of the screen. It made a candle come out of the screen and float within touching distance of your face. The Jessica Jones trailer was released today. It looks a lot darker than I was expecting. David Tennent's Purple Man has police aiming guns at themselves and each other as well several people hanging themselves in front of the lead character.
