Oh 2012. The only film I've seen that made check for where the decorators had missed patches in the paintwork on the theatre walls entertaining.

I'm kinda missing the Walking Dead reviews now that the second half is up and running.  Any chance we'll see more?

Alcatraz might be able to keep a review blog going as well, although it hasn't fleshed out enough of the underlying secrets of the island just yet.

I was alone in the house the whole weekend and didn't do anything or go anywhere but sit in front of my computer watching 2 seasons of The Wire. Yeah my ass is numb right now

Loved seasons 1 and 3. 2 was ok but didn't like the way it ended. McNulty is an a-hole with a huge ego. I like the guy at times but hate him others.

I have to say that the show may be the best crime/drama ever, very real. But the Brother Mouzone and Omar thing was almost a bit too much. I understand it's tv and all but the keeping it real is what makes these shows intriguing and they made these 2 cats out to be boogeymen almost. Still not enough to make any real dents on the show.

WeeBey was my man. I wish they had used him more before locking his ass up.

String and Avon backstabbing each other was just poetic.

Can't wait to start on season 4 and see where Marlo goes from here and who if anyone takes the reins of the Barksdale empire

CBS sucks.  No, I mean it.  They really suck. 

I love The Amazing Race, it's a guilty pleasure.  During football season the games frequently run over which bumps back 60 Minutes which bumps back The Amazing Race.  During the last season of TAR I think two episodes started on time.  The rest were delayed for between 15 minutes and an hour and a half depending on how long the game ran over.  When TAR runs over it disrupts the whole rest of the evening's viewing.

A new season of TAR starts tonight.  And hey, look, no football!  The program will start on time.  Or so I thought.  There may be no football but sports STILL manages to ruin my evening.  60 Minutes should be on but it isn't.  Because the GOLF is running over time!!!  F$%^#ing golf is on and it's running over time. 

I HATE it when the football runs over but I understand it.  Folks want to see the end of the game.  But GOLF???

CBS has no respect for their viewers.  We're supposed to accept any damn disruption in our schedules because sports, any sports, runs over.  They really suck.

Wise, you sir are about to set eyes to perfection.  The Wire: Season 4 is THE BEST season of The Wire. Fact. One of the best seasons ever created in the history of television.  Fact!  I almost envy you that you get to watch it again for the first time.  If perfection could be made into a TV season it would take the form of Season 4.  FACT!

 Hey Kara, Alcatraz keeps doing worse in viewership and with House ending this year, there might be hope for your Terra Nova afterall.

Damn hanso you're getting my expectations way up. If it's that juicy I may wait til next Sunday and run through it in 1 sitting....nah I'll start on it tomorrow even if I have to pull myself away to get some work done

The Oscars will never change.  Between the historical epics and pretentious, self indulgent independent films, we're never going to be satisfied with the Academy nominates.  I personally don't care about the founding of Facebook, a guy who takes 90 minutes of screen time to cut his arm off, the 2002 Oakland A's (Did they win the World Series that year?  NO) and so on.  Did 9 films really deserve to be nominated Best Picture this year?  I couldn't name five that I really loved this year.

 Wise, welcome to the club my friend. I have watched the Wire all the way through from first episode to last 3 times. I love it. Probably one of the best pieces of filmed television or entertainment out there. Hope you enjoy. Didn't know you were into it. Like Hanso I envy you getting to watch it for the first time, seriously. 

I thought Social Network was excellent jppintar326, and the Academy has always nominated genre just not as much as fans think they should (star wars, jaws, ET, the lord of the rings trilogy, Raiders) In 2009 they nominated some really good stuff (Avatar, Inglorious Basterds, District 9, Up, Hurt Locker) I think that's one of the reason's they went back to the more "serious" stuff. 2012 just wasn't a good year for movies it happens. Yeah, they could have nominated the last Harry Potter but like Chris Rock said when he hosted it you let the public pick the nominees you'd get Aliens vs. Predator and White Chicks. 

 I watched the Wire all at once, as did a couple friends of mine.  All of us found that we thought there was a big drop off in quality with season 5 (the last season). A couple other people we know, who watched them as they originally aired, didn't notice as big a gap.  

I'm also kind of dissapointed with Sparticus, and it's not the casting changes, but the writing and pacing. Seems like a lot of nothing is happening.
