I've been marathoning Chuck season 1. Reminds me a bit of Alias. I can see why it was under threat to be canceled constantly. I'm interested enough though that I will probably finish the series.

Season 2 is the best season. It is downhill after that, but still well worth watching. But season 2 is pretty much perfection from beginning to end.

Ip Man: I think I liked it more than most. The nationalistic overtones made me uncomfortable, not that I doubt Japan's crimes of the era. Great fights. Long and epic if you're into that.

One thing stuck out to me though:

I watched it last night and thought I loved it, but the further away I get from it, I really just liked the fights. One or two good emotional scenes might've been better without subtitles.

Last night at exactly 12:37am my netflix stream cut out mid watch and said "you need to pay us fool!" It was crazy! I've never seen that before! Its kind of impressive, you'd think they'd like wait until the app reboots the next time or something like that.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
So I'm watching Farscape, and they recently introduced a new character... female alien (I'm terrible with names) she's like blueish with white hair or something like that. Skinny. Should be really annoying but somehow isn't.

Anyway... her mannerisms, speech, and dialog have been bugging me, because it seems super familiar. In a déjà vu sort of way, but I've never seen the show before, so how? Right?

Well today it finally clicked... she's pretty much a carbon copy of the Kenzie character from Lost Girl I was watching awhile back. Well, I guess it's the other way round since Farscape is older.

Still... I almost want to check to see if maybe the characters are written by the same person. Obviously different actor, but the dialog and speech especially is eerily similar.

Okay, well that concludes random Netflix observation of the day.

I think I've come to accept that there are going to be some nationalistic overtones in a lot of films made in China. :\

I'm watching this and I am liking it. I also see that Hara Kiri is by the same director so I might watch that too. How do they compare?
Click to expand...

I thought Hara-Kiri was quite good.

It is not very similar to 13 Assassins, tho.
It is a slow burner that is more (melo)drama than action flick.
Told in flashback it builds slowly and for a good bit you don't quite know how the story all fits together.

This director's range is very, very wide and his films hit a lot of different genres.
Best to go into any of them with an open mind not knowing quite what to expect.

Both hot as hell.

Personally dont see the similarities in their mannerisms on the shows or speech patterns. But that is just me.

Yeah, she is pretty.



It's cool man. Maybe it was just those couple episodes... and I shouldn't have described the similarities as "carbon copy", that was wildly inaccurate.

The more you see of Chiana on Farscape, she becomes her own thing. I really do need to rewatch the show soon. Just a ton of fun.

Most likely they'll hold off on the last Breaking Bad episodes in hopes of boosting DvD/Blu Ray sales.


Been watching Leverage lately. Pretty decent show to have on in the background. Sort of a mix between Burn Notice and the newer Oceans movies.

Welcome back GK!

So as I said earlier, I've been watching Leverage and it's a pretty great show. So far I've clocked about 3 Doctor Who references in the series and having just watched New Who over the last couple of months I sort of geeked out on it. Haha.

I finally, finally got around to finishing Arrested Development. That felt more like a chore than anything else. Such a disappointing season. I kept watching since GAF said it gets better towards the end....er, not really. A few of the middle episodes were great, but overall, not worth it unless you are a diehard fan. The story gets too confusing at times and half the time, you are wishing the characters had more screen time with each other.

Thanks Jest!

I love season 4. I watched it a bit strangely though. I kept doubling back as I was watching it with family and friends. Before I actually finished the season I probably watched the first episode 4 times, and then all the others at least twice.

So just like all AD, I don't think it's fair to truly form an opinion without having re-watched it at least once.

The anthology format was the best way to bring it back as far as I'm concerned. Just put your head in that mode, and stop wishing all the characters were together (which of course was not really that common in the original show anyway). They had to do it this way to bring the show back up to date. And it was an incredibly creative way to do it and now they can tell stores again in the more traditional way.

Come on, I know AD gets better (or at least you find stuff you missed) with each viewing, but that doesn't mean you can't form an opinion off of one viewing. The season wasn't up to par with the first three. It had its moments and its running jokes, but like I said, overall, it felt more like a chore getting through them.

So AHS is worth watching then? I heard season 1 was pretty rough.

I've got to disagree with some of the above posters on this. I thought the first season was the best one so far. Season 2 had some good moments, but I found too scatterbrained overall.

I thought AHS S1 was great. The characters were great, it was twisted and dark. Had it moments of scares. I just started S2 yesterday, so I can't anything about it yet. Although, it starts off great.
