House of Cards was good. I also watched Orange is the New Black and enjoyed that as well.

yeah i watched a few episodes of Orange is the Ne Black this week. It is good, it is a lot like Weeds, which was written by the same person. I liked weeds a lot, I know it didn't do anything for you. They have green lighted a 2nd season of Orange, so I will probably wait to watch it together.

Spartacus seasons 1 and 1.5 were excellent. But season 2 runs off the rails.

that seems to be pretty common. It is almost like they don't plan on getting renewed so they use up all the ideas on season 1

If you saw Kick Ass and Kick Ass 2, you'd understand the Awesome of it all.

oh, i saw Kick Ass. Makes it more creepy, not less

The trailer doesn't give me the impression that this will even come close to touching the original, but it's at least good to see Michael Keaton in a big movie again.

The host of a movie podcast I listen to said he felt that OINTB "is definitely the best thing Netflix has produced so far." I'm not sure about that. I'd say House of Cards is at least its equal. But it turned out to be a pretty good show.

Yeah, I dunno. It seems that some shows get it right and some just can't sustain their momentum. Breaking Bad is probably the premiere example of a show getting it right. Dexter is kind of borderlined in this regard.

But so many--Spartacus, Homeland, Prison Break to name a few--have one or two good seasons and then just go to shit.

Well everyone knows that Hit Girl was the best thing in the movie. (This is probably even more true for the sequel.)

Perhaps instead you'll prefer adult imitators:

Policia! Policia! El pedo SPX! Es muy mal.

Other than her tits, what I especially find entertaining about that bitch is that--while the rest of her costume seems custom-made--her gloves are standard fare weight lifting gloves that she picked up from Sports Authority (or wherever).

Breaking Bad cliffhanger last night was crazy.

[SPX]

I need to watch that. I'm pretty sure Breaking Bad is the one show ever that has stayed consistently good without having a single weak season.

X, Kick Ass 2 was awesome. That little girl is awesome and she is gonna be the next big thing when she is older in my opinion. She looks like she is going to play an awesome role in the Carrie remake.

Hell yeah. Loved Kick Ass 2. The critics are all fucked up on this one.

And I agree on Chloe Moretz. The first Kick Ass was really her breakout role. She was also good in Let Me In, Hugo and Dark Shadows. Carrie looks like it will be awesome and she has like 7 other projects in development right now.

The real question is whether or not she's going to burnout and fade away as so many younger stars do when they get older (I fear this is happening to Dakota Fanning right now) or if she's going to be the next Jodie Foster.

Also, BOL at your Edman quote.

you guys are weird

I'm glad the IOC came to their senses.

But I wonder what this means, "We have updated [wrestling] to make it more spectacular and more watchable and the rules understandable".

[SPX]

Nice!

The very fact that they eliminated it in the first place is just retarded and I don't get it. Like, it was basically a mind blower. That quote it interesting, though. I also would like clarification.

Congrats, wrestling! Sincerely.
