A *great* example of this is Benedict Cumberbatch performing as Smaug in a motion tracking suit, crawling around on the ground, with a big face tracking rig on his head. Goofy looking? Sure, but what a brilliant result.

Speaking of Black Mirror (what a great EP) and Jon Hamm, we never did watch the Christmas special (saw all other "regular" episodes). Just queued it up for tonight.

I'm in the middle of a re-watch on Hulu, it's _still_ so good. I mean, I'm kind of doing a not-really-watching-but-supposed-to-be-working sort of thing, but I've been drawn out of my cave so many times even just running it in the background.

I've re-watched this EP a couple of times and the Parkour thing keeps making me laugh hysterically - I think that bit is also tapping into one of my favorite cold openings of all time, from The Office:

…and Mazda gave unto them, Miata, and it was good.

Debated the upvote … parenthesis (parenthetical[?]) made it a requirement.

Weird synchronicity in the AVC universe, I was just singing this song … to my wife … in the bathroom, er, anyway, I know I f-ed up the lyrics, been meaning the track them down the last couple of days.

*blank stare*

The first one definitely (assuming you like horror films at all), I mean, it has Cary Elwes, Danny Glover, Michael Emerson and Tobin Bell does a really great job - the traps are pretty horrifying (if not engineering impossibilities …) , the concept isn't bad, the twist is ridiculous but fun.

Yeah, I'm sort of reverse engineering legit real world reasons why they might have done this, when at the end of the day, it's a _show_, and they wanted the characters in the same place, with the extra irony of doing it under the nose of the company that's been the bane of their existence. You know, plus setting up…

I think it was purely timing, cost and logistics. They had an immediate need (a day[?] before their Azure account gets shut down), didn't have time to travel, coordinate across states (or countries), needed a concentrated userbase, who would be compelled to install the same [compromised] app in a very short amount of…

Must be some super retrobox, with games from various Atari consoles, maybe some kind of cool upscaling, so you can play Yar's Revenge in 4K … I don't see how it could be a modern console, success in the current market is a mix of: hardware, price, 1st party titles, ease/cost-of-development (for 3rd party / indie),…

Yeah, I'd love to see a trimmed down edit of Reloaded + Revolutions, looks like they're ~4.5 hours together, I bet there's a solid 3 hour movie in there that leaves out an excessive fight or two, tightens up some of the narrative flow, even drop a few "major" scenes that introduce things that kind of go nowhere.

What if it was a snake shooting eye bullets in a tiny room?

It's probably her ringtone for when *anyone* calls. Groundhog Day is a favorite of ours, this obviously lifts some scenes/ideas right from it, but the killer / murder mystery is interesting change up. Great shot in that one scene where she gets clonked in the head and falls into her bed for the day reset.

The one that sticks in my mind is Exodus (two-parter), and the atmosphere FTL jump, that's one of the most badass moments in all of Sci-Fi.

Funny timing on this article, we were _just_ talking with some friends about what series we've been - or planned on - rewatching, and we all said "Definitely want to watch BSG again …", and I said, yeah, even if the Cylons didn't really have a plan. Came up in the context of Lost which were currently doing a…

The Password is … well … :)

Hahaha, that saved him from playing Broball, and relegated his involvement to running the score (and being confused about 3-pointers)

Hahaha, we just watched the new Veep (BTB with SV):
