list seems ok?

 

Watching The Killing is giving me so much anxiety. Midway through season 2 and I'm fucking clueless.

 

Seth Meyers developing two comedy projects for NBC.

The first is a untitled single-camera comedy, which comes from writer Amber Ruffin, a writer/actress on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.” The project is about a has-been sibling singing group from the 1980’s that now make ends meet by doing what no musician wants to do — writing jingles and performing their old hits at parties. Ruffin will serve as co-executive producer, and Meyers will exec produce with Mike Shoemaker and Andrew Singer.

The second project, titled “AP Bio,” is a comedy about a former philosophy professor who takes a job teaching AP biology and uses his students to get back at the people in his life who have wronged him. “Saturday Night Live” writer/actor Michael Patrick O’Brien penned the pilot and will serve as an executive producer with Meyers, Shoemaker, and Singer.

 

I'm about to watch Legend with Tom Hardy - how is it?

 

Favreau is doing a live action Lion King. I ain't mad.

 

Was Jungle Book good?

 

Yes, it was very aesthetically pleasing and the voice cast was great

 

M. Night's new film Split has been received well at Fantastic Fest. I'm definitely interested.

 

Duncan Jones' Mute will be a Netflix release

I didn't see a thread for it...I'm three episodes into Luther and I'm obsessed. I think I love Alice.

Also Luther's wife is a Sand Snake in Game of Thrones? She's much better in this

 

That's because the writing on Luther is generally much better than GOT

No Ruth Wilson in S4 of Luther makes me extremely unhappy. And the way they wrote her out was so blah. Lame.

 

I was under the impression she still alive.

after the second episode it seemed more likely. when they do a 5th series (or a movie?) I'd be surprised if she didn't make a comeback

 

I started Mr. Robot today. Unless it crashes and burns, it's safe to say it'll hold the title for the quickest a show has worked its way into my favorites list.

 

Didn't know where else to put this because there isn't a general Star Wars thread, but...

:-o

 

Anyone here watch The Fall? Season 3 started last Sunday.

 

I hate that I watched that Red Letter Media Force Awakens review. I liked his prequel critiques somewhat, even if I don't vibe with some of his humor, but the Force Awakens review was 98% nonsense. The Force Awakens is an extremely flawed film and for almost none of the reasons he engages with. YouTube movie critics are completely ignorable.
