It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Who Got Dee Pregnant? (2010)
Best episode so far.
I think it's a really well written episode. It's different stories intertwined from different perspectives. They are all self absorbed narcissists, so when viewing the same scene from different perspectives it becomes a wildly different version of events. And that's the fun. At the start of the episode Sweet Dee announces that one of the group is the father and 50% of the group is directly related to her. And I still couldn't narrow down who was the father. Also no offence to sweet Dee, I love her character, but that emu scene was so funny. I was laughing way to hard. I never know what to expect. Great writing.
Rick and Morty: Get Schwifty (2015)
I disagree with kevinniederman
Sup. Ice Tea saving the planet, Drunk Rick singing the schwifty song. Morty disagreeing with Rick on moral grounds and grabbing the nearest Rick technology and randomly pressing the buttons. Kevinniederman you seem like a real Morty. It's not an insult to most people because they don't know Morty, but you do, you know Morty don't you. So you know what i'm saying when i call you a Morty.
I loved this episode. The whole misinterpretation of the church followers. They interpret a completely false reality because they don't know the answers and listen to the guy who seems to make sense. No correlation there in our current religious doctrines at all.
The meaninglessness of our current fad with x-factor or Idol. They put the earth on the elimination round as a joke. We don't have the earth on the elimination round of a make believe reality contest every week because it's stupid. You can't do stupid every week. Just like Idol and X-factor, it's all a meaningless, stupid contest. These guys come up with original stuff to hold a mirror to our ordinary stuff. But when you look a bit deeper they say something about it.
Right from the start your review had me separated. Because this is classic Rick and Morty. I loved it. Made me laugh and made me think. Simpsons never did that
Catastrophe (2015)
why don't people like what i like
I'm single. It's terribly depressing and all that. I was starting to think it was all because of me, and my humor. And possibly my ugliness. But nope, it's just because of people not getting that it's a joke. In most relationships if you say what these two say to each other, then expect tears and fights and revenge. But with these two you get a laugh. It's a fine line, their humor and wit can be used for good as well as evil, but when they are together, it's so good. I'm jealous of the guy, i can say this stuff to my mates but i can't say it to a woman, at least without serious repercussions.
This is a love story, done so well. I don't know the demographic they're aiming for. i think a lot of guys will get it, but it's women that should watch it. I would insert some of the things the guys said to his pregnant soon to be wife here, but without context, it may seem mean.
Forget The Notebook, or 50 Shades of Grey, or whatever moronic love story is popular right now. This is the fictional love i want. Put your feelings out there, be supportive but not a doormat, make fun of each others insecurities in a way that recognizes their insignificance but recognizes their significance, and laugh with each other. 10 out of 10
Key and Peele (2012)
So funny
Breaks down race to people. They put a spotlight on the stupidity of judging someone on the colour of their skin at the same time as they make a joke about the colour of their skin. What i get from this show, apart from many laughs, is we are all stupid people. The skin colour doesn't make you less or more stupid, we are all stupid. Funny guys, making a white guy from Australia, seeing it from your perspective and you seeing it from mine...... From the awkward white guy from Australia. Excellent show. P.S. I do have a big dick so....you know.....there is a chance.......we could be related.....am i allowed to make this joke.....it's funny when you guys do it... but i don't know, now i feel bad now.....
Snowpiercer (2013)
The ultimate metaphor
At the start of this movie i couldn't get past how it was impossible. This train with the only survivors is impossible. Logistically and scientifically there could be no train It couldn't survive. But half way through i kind of got it. It's all a metaphor. It's a breakdown of us. A breakdown of us in a pressure situation. It's our world on a train. It's us but the scale happens to be smaller. I've always wanted to be rich, but if revolutions have taught us anything, it's be rich during times of peace. Cause when excrement hits the fan, you will not like what happens next. Unfortunately we are headed for interesting times. I'm not sure if me being poor has ever been an asset but we'll see.
Rick and Morty (2013)
Simpson's haven't done it.
I like this show,and I've told everyone from work to give it a go. For some reason they just don't get it. They're happy to watch another Simpsons episode but for this, for some reason they say no. In episode 6 ,which I've just watched, i witnessed the "mesecks" (i don't know their pronunciation , they yell it in a high pitched annoying sound, which is part of their charm), and they just go crazy. Homicidal crazy. Then there was Morty who was almost raped in a bathroom. This sounds terrible. It's terrible in a movie, its terrible in a TV series, and its terrible in animation. But for some reason, no, its not terrible. It's funny. I've never in a review had to justify rape in a toilet as being part of a funny plot line. Well Rick and Morty make it work. There's the father having the best sex of his life in a computer simulation,dog's making killer robots and takings us over before realising they don't want too and surviving a dead homeless guys amusement park internal organs. I don't write reviews often but every now and then i get surprised. Then the surprise is laughing, then its appreciation of the writers and makers. I tip my hat to you good sirs and madams. You have made an original, surprising series. Even if you start stealing from the Simpson's, i don't think i would recognise it because you would twist it into a creepy, unsettling, awesomely funny situation..PS they will start stealing from you soon. Awesome show. I know you can't keep going for 20 years but i would rather 1 season of originality than 20 years of same old, same old. You have a fan.
Skyline (2010)
Alien invasion, now lets see how heroic you are??
So much negative. Disregard the 4.4 IMDb rating, they don't get it. At work today we were talking under-rated movies and i mentioned this. After defending my initial point of view purely based on my ego, and then being subjected to a lot of derivative comments, i felt i should watch it again, just to make sure my possible drunk, stoned, ETC self was in a state of acceptance where i would have given "Carebears conquer the Rainbow" 10/10. But I stand by my original self standpoint. I can be Strait, Stoned, Drunk, and high, and yet my multiple states of consciousness still agree, this is a well made film. I TRULY DO NOT GET 4.4 RATING. To the creators, actors, makers, who have got panned in every medium that you value, in your particular industry. WELL F*** THEM, YOU MADE AN EXCELLENT FILM. AT THIS STAGE I DON'T THINK ANYONE BUT THE FANS WILL GET IT, BUT F*** YEAH. Thank you for making it...PS Aliens who travel between stars, using biological-mechanical suits = us f***ed. You gave us the happiest ending you could. Awesome.
Southland (2009)
Duuuuna Duuunna Duuuna Duna Duna
Every time i hear the opening score i get a little bit excited. Duuuuna Duuunna Duuuna Duna Duna. This is the way a cop drama should be made. I think it's about people, who happen to be cops. They get angry, sad , scared, , stressed, excited and bored. They don't see a gun battle and run in guns blazing to shoot the baddie and make a pun over his dead body about crime not paying. They get scared. They react like a human should. Some of them die, some of them are good, some of them are bad. Just people who we have asked to put there lives on the line for us. So i think the greatest compliment i can give this show is i appreciate the job cops do more. This show has had an impact on my real life views. The amount of shows or movies that this applies to can be counted on 1 hand.
Safe (2012)
Excellent editing
I'm used to the standard action film. This is what i expect and enjoy, especially from Jason Stratham. But i feel that it should be emphasised that this film does action very well. It's not really the action as such, it's the set-up to the action. I don't know if it was the editor or the director but who-ever chose to do the chopping of the initial story then well done. You set up the story in a coherent and believable(for an action film) way. The action then took a cue from the story. The whole use of reflection, when Statham saves the girl in the car, very well done...editor, cinematographer, director, whoever it was it seemed very fresh. Later in the film things turned to a more standard action until the final scene. I like being surprised. You surprised me. For this i'll give you best fight scene of the year (2012) for setting the scene, letting us know that the protagonists have a history and a final showdown to settle the score,,,,,,, it all come's down to this.......Well done.
