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!

Here is another of what I believe to be one of those art student films I come across. It is a brief but emotional look at the eternal lament of the cursed lamia from Greek mythology, Medusa. A former priestess to Athena, her origins differ between being wooed by Poseidon forgetting her vows to the order then running off with him to get married or her and Poseidon having sex in Athena's temple or even another with Poseidon raping her in Athena's temple (which doesn't sound right going by the mythos). The rest of the story stays the same where afterwards out of rage Athena curses Medusa by making her so hideous that anyone looking upon her face is cast into stone. I wonder if the effect would work on someone who could see her true beauty beneath that forced facade.

 

Reflection

Ok my fiancee watched 50 shades yesterday and said it was good (but she read the book)

Today we finally watched the watchman and it was a very interesting movie, worth watching.

Thanks to Cartoon Network late anime I know one thing. Space Dandy is friggin' sweet. It's like Cowboy Bebop but more lighthearted, a little strange, and doesn't take itself seriously at all. Oh yeah, and he's all about the booty!

I wonder if Disney will ever let this franchise go?

You were asking the wrong question.  The correct one is: "How bad exactly is this live action Cinderella movie that it needed Frozen short film to draw people to the theatres ?" 

They did a good job recreating the scene. I wonder how long it takes them just to do a 5 min clip?

great clip!

Fantastic clip! It`s a bit late to the party given that the set is on the way out, but still, it`s a well done video.

My guess, anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred hours, it takes quite a bit of time to do clips like this, even for someone skilled, it`s tedious. Just makes it more impressive IMHO.

Love me some "Team Fortress 2".

Big bang has a lego reference in it tonight. Nice to see they're preparing for the set. Pretty smart.

Also a pricing error!!!

Anyone see the new documentary on Netflix called inside lego?

TRON 3 in the works.  Hopefully they'll bring back Daft Punk for the score.

It was a matter of time before Disney made a film for Tomorrowland but still really? Pray tell what theme park ride is next.

Just watched Whiplash. It is terrific. Best movie of 2014 I've seen so far but have a few more I need to see. JK Simmons is scary good.

I'm watching the finale of "King of the Nerds" as a warm-up to "The Walking Dead" and "Talking Dead".
