If by that you mean three years in prison, your wish may be granted by a judge tomorrow. :yes:

Can't decide if Dark Tower film and TV series will be good, or the biggest fail ever. Wonder what the difference in quality will be like between TV programme and film. :K:

What exactly is Mad Men about? A drama regarding an advertising firm is all I can really glean.

This could work out. :holmes:

Mad Men - 60s
Life on Mars - 70s
Ashes to Ashes - 80s

Mad Men is supreme. It's only superficially about advertising - in reality, the firm is just a setting. The series is about the characters - sex, power, duplicity, sex, status and sex.

You weren't kidding about Predators :colonhash:

Spoiler

I know, right? :colonhash:

Also: lolwut :lolwut:

For those of you that don't know, the Eye Of The World is the first in the Wheel Of Time saga, an excellent fantasy series that's been going on for 20 years and hasn't quite finished yet.

It doesn't seem to be doing much, but I'm quite apprehensive. There are ways of rendering excellent fantasy into film, and there are ways of not doing it. I tend to the pessimistic (realistic), so I'm expecting less Lord Of The Rings, more Golden Compass.

Although it would mean I get to do that hipster thing like I did with LOTR - "Yeah, I've read the books. I see what they're doing there, but it's not quite..." :pierre:

Aka the author died and left us substitute writers, yeah. :colonhash:

A Song of Ice and Fire is superior to Wheel of Time and the former is only getting a TV show. Sucks. Wheel of Time is a better series when you read it for the second time, in my opinion.

I've been waiting for a Wheel of Time film for nigh on a decade now.

"Zooey Deschanel is in negotiations to star in Fox's untitled single-camera comedy pilot." -> adding to my 'to watch' list. :coma:

She's let slip about starring in Big Lebowski 2. :mute:

Just watched Up, was a really enjoyable film, felt very different to other animations, but I liked the message of the film, about dealing with loss. But I don't think it beats Wall-E, loved that film.

I disagree, me and my friends talk about TV shows all the time. That says something...not sure what though.

Indeed. I watched that straight after Requiem. My emotional state went from down-right sodden to completely gabberflasted.

ps more people need to watch Breaking Bad. Breaking Men? Mad Bad?

I feel you've suffered slightly from taking things out of context. :p:

I was trying, and failing, to be witty when Ab said technically, TV is related to film after the question was thrown around if it was appropriate to talk about TV on a film thread.

David Lynch is a master and Aronofsky is a worthless peon compared to him. Pfft, he clearly stole the idea of a lesbian scene from Mulholland Drive.

The advertising agency is more less a plot device to show us how life was back in the 60s, and how they were entering an age of mass consumerism. Like all great TV shows, there are many threads in the show as well as fantastic characters. Don Draper is just an excellent creation and Jon Hamm is excellent as playing him. The rest of the cast are very strong as well.

When submitting his script to studios, screenwriter Adam Herz titled it, "Untitled Teenage Sex Comedy That Can Be Made For Under $10 Million That Most Readers Will Probably Hate But I Think You Will Love". It was later changed to "East Great Falls High", then "Great Falls", and finally, "American Pie".

Oh, aha.

I thought it was Superman that Lilo was being considered for?

Perhaps for "Generic crack addict holding up Lois"? Since it's aiming for a gritty thing.
