What Movie / TV Series are you watching?

[mrtr33]

I'm currently hooked on 'American Horror Story' - just finished season 1. I enjoy horror as a genre, but loathe how it gets grouped with gory movies or just cheeseball, cliche plot lines.

ETA: Oh, we're also watching:
Mad Men - middle of S6
Greatest American Hero - middle of S1
Sons of Anarchy - about to start S6
Project Runway (when it's on)
Breaking Bad (though, technically, we haven't watched an episode yet, I've been collecting the seasons, when on sale, in anticipation)

Oh, and Sherlock. We just finished Season 3.

I forgot to mention that earlier. Double-posting isn't as easy as it looks.

Good movie. I'd have to investigate a bit to see how much of it was reality (I won't btw), but a good movie nonetheless. Definitely worth a watch. I bet CC86 would love it.

Okay what was this? A movie about the now closed famous punk rock venue in NYC?

EDIT, never mind, I just googled it. I definitely would enjoy that, I never knew of the existence of this movie, thanks for letting me know, I'll bet I will love it!

I've only been there once, in September of 2006 to see the Dropkick Murphys, about a month before it closed for good. I was glad to have the experience to see a show there, the place was pretty cool.

We went to see Hobbit ~ The Battle of Five Armies today. I really enjoyed it. I was fun bringing the girl (7) with us. They re-did the old Frackville theatre a while ago with a bunch of stadium seating, smaller rooms, and surround sound. We polished off a big tub of popcorn, and didn't get halfway through the two tankers of soda that went with it.

Also, later on, we watched Malificent at home. I enjoyed this too. I liked the revision to the story, but Sleeping Beauty will always be my favorite Disney movie. Without spoiling anything, I was happy to see they kept the same cane rap that the original had for the initial curse.

I guess me and Candy will go see American Sniper

Wow, Mrs. Crabtree hasn't had much material lately but she can't let this one go:

"Candy and I"

Dammit!

Helpful hint #106 from Mrs. Crabtree:

Do you say:

A: "Me will go see American Sniper"

or

B: "I will go see American Sniper?"

If you picked A then you watch too much "Tarzan" on the ABC Family Channel.

Back to topic: I'm still watching Person of Interest and The Good Wife (good ole corrupt politics in Chicago and Illinois, LOL!).

As far as sitcoms go, Last Man Standing is by far and away the best one on these days. The writing is incredible and the cast is fantastic. Big Bang Theory is another real good one too. Other than those two, I pretty much have no use for major network sitcoms.

Took my wife to see The Hobbit at X'mas time. We wen to a "VIP" theater and it was rather nice. The seating is all double seats that are kind of like love seats and they come with a small table attached to the arms. You prebook your seat (and pick where to sit in the theater as well) and you can order dinner and drinks and have it all served at your seats. This is an 18 and over, 'adults only' theater....woohooo

We had hamburgers followed by popcorn and Smoothies...........LOL. It was good but the food was overpriced so the next time we go there, we'll eat before or after elsewhere. But it was a nice treat as a one-off.

The movie of course was excellent. I'm trying hard to let go of my angst over them adding stuff that was not in the book so they could make a third movie. My wife says I'm like an old dog worrying a bone but it pisses me off and it's a money grab plain and simple.

The 3D technology has sure advanced since the first, and last, time I checked it out back in the late 70's. Then it just gave me a headache. Now it's really impressive and easy on the eyes.

All told, we'll be going back again.

We bought Malificent, it's another good movie!

I tend to agree with your wife on this one. If they made the hobbit just based on the book, it would have just been one movie, instead of three. In fact, I'm reading the Hobbit at beddtime, and I'm kinda finding it dull compared to the movies. Usually it's the other way around. I think they did a nice job backing into LOTR storyline, and I gather that Tolkien was a big fan of appendices that had more info than the basic book.

On that same note, you took no exception to a major plot change on Malificent?
