I don't care for Bell, but Cheadle was acting the shit out of that trailer. It made me want to be viewing it soon.Quote:

Also so he's a hound I get it.I don't really need to be hammered over the head with it.

It is a testament to the quality of the script and the acting that I bought every ridiculous minute.
I can't see how they can sustain it and I pray that they don't resort going the J.J. Abrams shadowy agency route but as for a one-off episode I highly recommend you watch it.
Btw I'm seriously considering giving up on this site .
If I really want to talk to myself I can't rationalize the added effort necessary to post it online.:mellow:

Sure, this may go the way of Joey. But I'm hoping it goes down the Frasier path. I'm a fan of the Dwight character.
People do answer you, it is just the same people you already know, and you tend to ignore them in return, so it is rapidly becoming a vicious circle you have trapped yourself in.Quote:

When I KNOW people are ignoring me on purpose then I simply get out my wax dolls and stick glass in them (which reminds me, you don't have a spare lock of hair you're willing to send my way do you ????).
I'd be willing to stick broken glass into Idol directly if he can't spare a hair.Quote:

I just watched the first episode of The Finder and it was an utter waste of time. I never for a moment felt that I was watching people,only characters and contrived ones at that.
just watched "Touch" pilot and i am touched.
the firm waste of my time
alcatraz waste of my time
the finder waste of my time
Yeah Alcatraz is another one of those shows that has nothing going for it beyond the stupid mythology/big twist factor. At the end of the initial episode when it was "reveled" that the East Asian chick was also from 1960 it was more confirmation of the creator's lack of originality than a shock.Quote:

No, that's just crazy talk.
Yeah better to just go with I never post anything the tiniest bit response worthy and leave it at that.Quote:

Or maybe it merely reflects the transitory and basically predatory nature of most members of this site where their main concern is not to interact beyond the necessary minimum that allows them to get what they really came here for.
Although apparently if I could confine my talk to dubstep or how one encode of a movie eclipses all others and being the discerning teen movie connoisseur that I am therefore is the only way I would ever stoop to watching it that might help.That sort of thing seems to be interesting to a lot ofbraindead cretinspeople.
No, that's just crazy talk.
But I digress. I also ironically won't even check as Firm as it's Canadian roots pretty much ensures that it will suck.
You know Idol, you are channeling Marvin more and more with each passing eon. :blink:
That's rather depressing when you think about it.
Btw Marvin Hamlisch right? I don't want to get my hopes about it being Lee Marvin.
Neither I'm afraid, I'm alluding to Douglas Adams paranoid android...... :blink:Quote:

until I read the note and realized subtlety was pointless.
Subtlety is never pointless, it is it's own reward.
Now power forward, you subtle sonofabitch.
I don't really have anything to say to that but I figured if I didn't reply you might get all hissy and threaten to quit or something.Quote:

Otherwise most recent shows are kind of :dabs:
Watched Terra Nova because the effects are shiny, though, and I'd bought a new projector.
new seasons of breaking bad and walking dead!
House of Lies held some promise but the writers don't seem to be going anywhere with it. Instead they seem content to simply reenact the brilliance of Cheadle's pod being able to turn any hopeless situation to their advantage ad naseum.Quote:

Anyway to save you wasting your time on the show if you haven't already.

Luck ,maybe the next great HBO series. David Milch and supposedly neither Hoffman nor Nolte has ever been better.
Looking forward to BSG Blood & Chrome
Isn't Walking Dead starting back up this month?Quote:

I liked it as well but most other people don't seem to agree ,even gong so far as citing it and The Walking Dead as clear evidence of AMC's continuing fall from grace.Quote:
