I got halfway through season 1 before getting bored and never returning. It was good but there's better stuff out there to watch.

I kinda agree with Back. Its one of those shows where it won't blow you away or hook you in, but it is still decent/good.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

Huzzah!

Was season 1 any good?

I really liked it. It's a dramedy though, so don't go in expecting a serious drama.

 

[Kaladin]

Season 2 is coming next month

Was season 1 any good?

Yes! I enjoyed it. It might not be for everyone, but the show is fun. While the subtitles might be off putting, the with the main character being from the US and struggling with the language himself, it makes them less of a problem.

 

[TCRS]

Yeah I only watched two episodes or so. It's basically Silvio Dante going to Norway to start a new life. He acts the exact same way as in The Sopranos, as if it's the same character. Well it is pretty similar.

 

[RBH]

Netflix has set the premiere date for season 2 of drama “Lilyhammer,” with Steven Van Zandt reprising his role as a mob hit man relocated to the Norwegian hinterlands.

All eight one-hour episodes of the drama will be available Dec. 13 to customers in the U.S., Canada and Latin America.

Yeah, it does kinda work if you imagine Silvio is going into witness protection. Only problem is you have to imagine that the mob after Silvio is a no-name group he did business with on the side, or a small arm of Tony's operation that isn't seen on the show.

Marvel creating four superhero shows exclusively for Netflix, premiering in 2015

Marvel is creating four live-action superhero series that will air exclusively on Netflix beginning in 2015. The first of the TV series will focus on Daredevil, while the following series will star Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage. At least 13 episodes of each series will be produced, and — like all good Marvel series — they'll each come together for an additional special event called The Defenders.

This is crazy. Wondering how big the budgets will be for these shows, since superhero shows/movies are historically expensive to make.

You can do them on the cheap, just look at Smallville.

Holy shite. They weren't kidding when they said that they were going to become HBO before HBO could become them. I'm a fan of all of this exclusive content.

 

[backflip10019]

That's true. I guess I thought they'd be bigger budget based on the size of the Avengers.

 

[Kaladin]

Individual series will be like your normal action TV budget likely. I'd imagine The Defenders is where you get into your big damn adventure budgets.

Think about Smallville with most FCC regulations relaxed (and no I don't just mean Kristin Kreuk). There's a lot more that can be done on Netflix super hero stories, even with a small budget.

Yeah, Super Hero stories can be as much of a character and story driven story as anything else. Sure, you need a flash of the super here and there which will mean some effects budget, but it doesn't always have to be over the top.

Poor characters, poor writing, entirely predictable. The only merit I found in the film was thinking of it as company propaganda for Europa.

I was wrong about season five of Chuck. It's pretty good. It's not the best season in the series but, it has gotten better as it's went along for me.

 

[Jimothy]

Dexter is pretty damn hammy. Every actor on the show outside of Michael C. Hall is terrible but the show is still really watchable.

I would start off with Goldeneye or Casino Royale. They're the most accessible and some of the most fun Bond movies IMO.

I just saw Kon-Tiki and really enjoyed it, good adventure story. When I read the wikipedia entry for the film, I learned that it was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of 2012, which was puzzling because the movie I watched was in English. Come to find out...

Can You Say ‘Do It Again’ in Norwegian? Two Versions of ‘Kon-Tiki’ in Two Different Lanugages

On April 26 the film will be released commercially in the United States — but in a version that is entirely in English, rather than in the original Norwegian.

The “Kon-Tiki” that Americans will see is not a remake: each version features the Norwegian actor Pal Hagen as Heyerdahl and is directed by Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg. The production team and cast took the highly unusual step of shooting two versions of the film simultaneously, shuttling between languages.

“The decision was a practical one for us,” Mr. Ronning said, driven by what he described as market and linguistic realities. “Given a choice between making ‘Kon-Tiki’ this way or not making it at all, after having worked on it for so many years, when you’re down to that the choice is easy.”

How about that?

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Maniac was rather memorable. The POV style was very well utilized, but damn did it take me to some horrible places. A pretty fascinating movie but certainly not for everyone. I almost turned it off early on, but I am glad I stuck with it to the end.

Gonna finally watch Marvel's Avengers tonight, but am kinda irked by it being in stereo. Oh well at least it should look nice.

Skyfall! zomg :O
