Tonight I went to see R.I.P.D IT WAS QUITE FUNNY IN PARTS (storyline reminded me of Men in Black) all said and done enjoyable.

 

[Catch-up]

Glad you enjoyed it Dug! I want to see it.

Well. I've now watched every TV episode of the X-Files and consider myself to be slightly older but not a whole lot wiser. However, there's some rockin' good entertainment to be found in there and some very interesting characters well played.
Have just bought An American Werewolf in London on DVD (very cheap) and a very good movie if memory serves well. Might wait to watch this when daughter comes home next week.
Reliving the first series of Outnumbered this week. Brilliant!

I have also finally started watching Breaking Bad, and am racing through the seasons right now. Didn't expect it to be that good.

Hellooooooo! Glad you're enjoying Breaking Bad.

Add me to the list. I have no idea of why I didn't watch this when it was on, since it's a show that's right up my alley. The minute the last episide aired (which I did not watch for spoiler purposes) I bought the first five seasons on DVD for me and the missus to watch. So far, we're totally hooked.

Watched The Family, it was all right, great casting and there was a time when the tension was so high I almost couldn't bear it but thankfully less bloody as I excpected

 

[Catch-up]

We decided to try The Walking Dead last night. Watched the first episode and that was all I could take. Not saying it was bad at all, just way too stressful for me. I was so tense, I couldn't enjoy it.

 

[michelanCello]

Watched Don Jon with a friend of mine today. It was VERY honest and rather good I think, although it's not a movie I'd pick to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon when I've got nothing to do.

The more zombie films you watch, the better you get at spotting potential SZEs (single zombie events, such as when you're walking in the woods) and MZEs (multiple zombie events, you're in a hospital or other public building). Of course, in post-apocalyptic films, you don't get the benefit of "It's just a cat!" to forewarn you of impending doom

been watching Sleepy Hollow and for some reason it's been strangely
compelling viewing

I can't think why though

Actually, I think it was the post-apocalyptic setting that stressed me out more than the zombies.

SZEs & MZEs... love it.

I've always been a sucka for an apocalypse.

 

[Dotsie]

Me too! And do you know what always bothers me most? How can a person manage without toilet paper. Post apocalyptic fiction never mentions it.

 

[pip]

You'd be amazed what can substitute as toilet paper.

I watched the season premiere of The Walking Dead yesterday before work. Good start to the season, I thought.

 

[BobtheDrog]

Went to the World Premiere of "The Duel" last night, I highly recommend seeing it if you ever get the chance. The animation will be entered into various festivals so won't be posted online in the near future.

I have wondered about loo paper but I'd take my shirt off and use that if it came to it. What I do often ask especially since I've been watching The Walking Dead is, For the love of god, you will wash your hands before you eat something?! That's to the survivors not the zombies.

I think that's what'd bother me the most, not being able to get some soap & water on the upper extremities. In Zombieland the guy has the hand gel in his pocket. Love it, that'd be me for sure.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

What caused the Zombieness in The Walking Dead, anyway. Did we ever find out?

(I gave up after the first episode)

 

[Dotsie]

The CDC had the virus isolated, but no news on where it came from. But then the CDC blew up.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

As it does.

It all comes down to how much you care about personal cleaning in difficult circumstances. :
