Akin to the "Musical Picks" topic, I want to hear what your all time favourite movies/television shows are. It can be anything from action to drama to sports to romance (who watches that anyway though?). Don't be shy and don't be mean to other members, even if they really did enjoy Superbaby-Geniuses or whatever that piece of crap was called

 

I'll start off with a couple of my favs; I find most of the ones I put down are great films all together, but have shining endings.

 

Blood Diamond (Thriller/Drama): Leo DiCaprio picks up a sick south african accent in this eye-opening thriller/drama. Great music but if you're a Leo fan, you can probably already guess how it ends lol.

Friday Night Lights (Sports): I'm not a football guy, but the cinematography and story made this a refreshing change to the typical, predictable, sports movie. Plus, the instrumental music by Explosions in the Sky fits perfect (note: the trailer is crap, watch the film).

The Lord of The Rings Trilogy (Fantasy): If you are on a Lego forum where Lego LOTR products are frequently discussed, you probably already know how awesome the films are. If you don't, I'll leave it up to the mods to immediately revoke your membership to BrickPicker (jk).

 

And last I'll just end with my favourite TV show, which is probably going into its final season this year, The Mentalist (crime procedeural): this murder-a-episode series focuses on a former psychic who is now tracking the serial killer who murdered his family. The show can be light and funny, but when the serial killer ("red john") gets involved, it can get pretty unnerving. The series has spent 5 years tracking down murderers so feels a bit tired, but it is still my favourite. And, I'll post a trailer for the 3rd season finally:

Phew, if you got through all that... you don't get bored easily, do you? Now tell me your picks!

Are Megan Fox and Michael Bay sleeping together? First she tries to ruin Transformers, and now she is April O'Neil? There is no other explanation for it.

I also think it is weird having her in both toy related films. Sure, April's original yellow jumpsuit was hardly practical or an outfit somebody in real life would possibly wear but one thing for certain, she was a redhead which is something that Megan is quite obviously lacking (for starters). Then again, maybe some women could pull off the yellow jumpsuit look in real life.

Everyday my childhood gets ruined more and more. Everyday.

Don't get me wrong, Megan Fox is very easy on the eyes, but that's where it stops.  She belongs on calendars, not in movies. 

Very accurate description of her acting abilities.

How the #$%& did this get funded?

 

Hopefully this can cleanse a few pallets.

 

 

You think we'll see those aBAYminations bust a move while kicking @$$?  :no:

I can't believe I forgot about the name for this anime although somewhow I bet Darth Raichu may have mentioned it somewhere before. Anyway here is the opening for Trinity Blood. What could be deemed as yet another series featuring a lot of guns blazing and vampires does have quite a few things to separate it from the bunch. Without giving too much away, the story is set a number of hundred years into the future after an apocalyptic event where an alien virus and nanomachines have altered certain individuals with immense abilities similar to vampires but not exactly. Aside from what is left of humanity, you have the people infected by the Bacillus virus who call themselves the Methuselah with vampiric abilities and feed on human blood, and then finally there is the Crusniks who hunt the Methuselah partly of which because they feed on the blood of vampires. (Brickcrazyhouse, this one's for you. )

 

Trinity Blood

I listed an item for $280 that I paid $200 for and the buyer told me that "shipping doesn't cost almost $80." Apparently he didn't know that ebay charges fees. He also said that people "don't use ebay to make big profits. They use it to break even or take a small loss."

Ha, I wanted to post the classic Ghostbusters scene but it wasn't right to the point with the phrase as the one I did was. Coincidently, it is amusing just how many "What an a**hole" clips there are on youtube.

You're slipping...

You forgot one:

You have no idea just how much I love that bit. Ah hell, the whole damn movie! Then again perhaps you do. Haha.

Barf: "What the hell was that?!"

Lone Star: "....Spaceball One."

Barf: "They've gone to plaid!"

Yogurt! I hate Yogurt! Even with strawberries!

"Did you see anything?!"

"No sir! I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!"

"Good!"

Honestly, how many films are out there where a person could literally fill up an entire book with all the quotes, remarks, and gags? This and Ghostbusters are hands down the single greatest films made in the history of ever!

You forgot Animal House.

Vicious mother isn't he?

He can't do that to our pledges.

Only we can do that to our pledges.

You effed up, you trusted us.

Of course if this goes much farther as a mod you will be forced to move the last few posts to the correct thread.

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine". Mel Brooks classic. "What's the matter Col. Sanders, Chicken?"

Another great movie.

The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Dracula: Dead & Lovin' It, the list of Mel Brooks' work just goes on into infinity.

Yeah, I guess we should get back on track. Ho-hum. Ah, it was fun.

"He hates these cans! Stay away from the cans!"

 

I wonder if the satanic Lego priest ever saw this one?

Am I a bad person if I so happened to have sung that on the way to work....more than once? :whistle:

Noooooo! BSG on SciFi was too good to do this to.

I agree, leave it alone.

They should have left the original series alone before what was done to it on the SciFi channel. I can hardly wait to see what they have in mind this time. :mda:

It's good to be the King.

ISo if you're like me you have grown really tired of Hollywood the past few years. They make cramps movies. I have always liked Kung fu stuff and have recently gotten real into Japanese films. Nit only do they make better electronics than Americans but movies as well. Has anyone arched this... Watch "The Raid: Redemption Trailer Official 2012 [HD] -

Do not watch 'Man of Tai Chi' is my recommendation. 

 

Do watch Ip Man, if you haven't seen it already...chinese/cantonese, not japanese but it does have some great fight scenes.  Ip Man 2 was no good.   

 

*Saw previews of Raid 2, looks good.  Still haven't seen the first Raid but looks kick ass.
