    Thanks!

    Can anybody tell me whether Parks & Recreation gets better? I watched the pilot and was surprisingly unimpressed.

    Hey thanks I'll sit through a few more eps in S1, if I don't like them I'll move on to S2 and give that a go

    ^ The same thing happened with the first season of the office remake - they were sort of figuring out the characters and performers but from season 2 it's great. The Office kept up the quality though, Parks & Rec gradually gets worse.

    Still S2 & 3 and a lot of 4 are great.

    I don't know what to tell you. I hated the fucking shit out of that movie.

    If someone pulls a douchey prank like that on me for my birthday I'm just gonna stab them in the head with an icepick.

    Law and Order: SVU and Organized Crime.

    It's good to see Stabler back in action. Organized Crime is off to a good start. Good idea to have a continuing story vs every episode is a different case. Like Shades of Blue. Good show up until Jennifer Lopez decided to leave at the last minute.

    Tales from the loop, Prime, scifi. Pilot was intriguing. Good use of music.

    scifi about synthetic plants that have special olfactory capacities but can't reproduce/pollinate

    good use of colour palets (greens and reds mostly) and interesting ways of framing shots (zooming in on objects instead of people). most of the acting is a bit off. Don't know whether this was done on purpose but it adds to the feeling of distance between movie and viewer and as such works well with the colours and framing. some of the lines are a bit on the nose as in they are (short) exposition dumps

    the music throughout is remarkable with percussion, flutes and slightly disorienting zooming sounds

    wouldn't call it a must see but it is an interesting watch

    ^^^

    lol watched this with the gf on hulu.

    interesting concept, we both ended up falling asleep to it though.

    but the music was great for the film... especially the end credits.

    we started watching LOST. i watched it while it aired and stopped watching it because i was younger and it got way too stupid for me, and some of the characters were pissing me off with how annoying they were lolz.

    but figured id finally get around to giving it a full shake plus she was interested in it as well.

    about half way though the second season atm. i forget how far i got while it was originally airing but it was farther than i am now.
