I'll totally agree that in general, comedies seem to hold up well for re-watching. The big exceptions for me are really character driven dramas. I'll come back to those every few years like good books. Examples: Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Battlestar Galactica.

Reading the anniversary edition of American Gods aloud to my girlfriend, who's never been exposed to Gaiman outside of Neverwhere. Also reading a fun murder mystery by an indie author, Elizabeth Myrrdin, Fun is For Shallow People.

I just picked up the same version. I'm reading it aloud to my girlfriend, who's never read it. Really enjoying getting back into it again after six years or so. It holds up well.

Love or hate Prometheus, I don't care. (I loved it), but for the love of all that is holy will people please stop bringing up the whole 'Charlize Theron running and not turning left' thing? Did any of you who complain about that actually watch the movie? Noomi Rapace turned left mere *seconds* beforehand and what

Oh man! Alien Legion. Totally forgot about that series. I could really see that being worthwhile now. With the cost of decent effects dropping, I could see a cable series or a few features that could do those characters justice.

You used the two magic words that make me suspect you are a good lover: Fun and Play. Bravo.

Oh gawd. We've got another Mad About You fanboy in here.

I love, Love, LOVE Terry Gilliam. I also love the Watchmen. I have no interest in putting salted caramel ice cream on top of my shrimp gumbo.

I'm in love with *TV* right now. So much good programming. GoT, Breaking Bad, Orphan Black, Justified, Archer, Sons of Anarchy, American Horror Story, Person of Interest, Sherlock, The Fall, Luther, Doctor Who, House of Cards, Orange is the New Black. I can barely keep up. This is television's new Golden Age.

Pray I don't alter it any further.

I'm really only discussing movie plots here.

I'm not really interested in prophesies one way or the other. I want stories. We've had plenty of apocalyptic stories, a few utopia stories (very few) but none where life just continues on. If I want predictions, I'll read non-fiction.

Can we please have a movie where technology is neither our downfall nor our savior? I'd like to see more stuff like Robot and Frank, where advancements in technology are an element to the ongoing story of humanity.

Two things. 1) Some of these really make me miss working on film sets. 2) Then I remember that all the fun/funny stuff is about 5% of it. The other 95% is actually really freaking hard work.

Okay, so while I think your advice is all pretty sound here, I have to admit, I rarely have a problem with my endings. For me it usually comes in around the end of the second act (in film terms). I find that I already have a solid ending in mind, but that the drama that I've built up to that point doesn't quite

I think there needs to be a Fusco fan club.

Tilt shift effects can be a lot of fun. This was my first attempt at it - taken from my hotel room in New Orleans during the Occupy protests.

No need for an argument. :-) I'm aware of all the changes they've made and I can love the books (in fact, Davos is among my top three favorite characters), but I'm also aware that at 10 hours per season, you have to condense, tweak and adjust things. They knew they had a hit on their hands by the time they filmed the
