hardcore

lol i remember reading a thing in the wsj about that

Kinda vr

I was staying in a hostel in Lillehammer a few years ago, and on the TV in the dining room was this real-time footage of huntsmen steadily creeping their way through a snowy forest, looking for elk or whatever. No music or narration, just hand-held footage of these men with rifles slowly and silently walking through the woods. I watched about ten minutes of it, I think.

Yeah, they copied that concept in Denmark, and filmed every train-route out of the front window. I couldn't sleep one night and channel-surfed, and found out they were showing the route that went past my parents house. So I spent twenty minutes waiting for the train to pass their house, and then I wanted to see the route I'd taken to school for ten years, and then I wanted to see what it looked like into central Copenhagen... I spent forty minutes watching that, and I had stuff to do the next morning.

It's fascinating.

Also: James Benning!

other than true detective, the best show right now is party down south, recognize

True Detective is piling up on my hard drive. Will begin watching asap. Have no idea when I'll get around to S1 of House of Cards, much less S2.

oh no i thought it was "party down: south" like party down but set in the south. it isn't.

ron's franchise at last

the most recent ep of kroll show (mother, daughter, sister, wife) was v funny

Unless it was totally Nick Kroll-free, I have my doubts about the truth of your statement.

zing! but true.

i sat through an episode once where they did this Degrassi Jr. High parody. it was a terrible mistake.

I caught the last 3 eps of broad city and really enjoyed them

I love the degrassi thing

i used to hate that 1 but the meal plan points vs meals skit of it was amazing

there some point when he starting talking about how Canadians deliver their milk in bags and uuuuuuuuughhh

haha yeah that was great, Kroll Show has been growing on me

Kroll Show is great

Yeah, that About a Boy pilot wasn't very good.

when did the little boy in the middle become so creepy?

I just started watching Vikings this weekend -- no thread for it, I gather? It's a wee bit corny but fuck it I don't care I like it anyway.

I've heard some good things but I can't be bothered.

all I needed was the opening shot of Odin walking through the battlefield and I was hooked

Yah Vikings has been filling my Spartacus void.

spartacus was a bit too sexytimes for me...i like that there are lots of clothed scenes in vikings, lol

Yah def not the same but you know.

Apparently Australians and French viewers get Vikings nudity which is withheld from the rest of the world (VegGrrl will understand this when she learns it's on SBS here)

shut

up

now I feel conflicted about how happy I was that there was no nudity, becuase I'm thinking about all the hypothetical nudity that I am missing out on and I'm :(

Helpful guide to what you're missing on IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2306299/parentalguide?ref_=tt_stry_pg

Another reason to be pissed off about the post retune loss of sbs.

I can't get into vikings. There's just something fundamentally wrong with a show where vikings call having sex "having sex."

"I'd like 'raid her village' ifyaknowhatImean"

lol I was thinking the same when I heard that beauty!

"girl you get with me and i'll make you vallHOLLA"

it's corny, no doubt... i think the biggest selling point for me is that Ragnar is an Aussie version of Charlie Hunnam :D

hence my newfound sadness over edited nudity

"your vagina, that's where i'm a viking"

i gotta use that line someday

lol

to be more specific, the scene involved Ragnar's wife being all "did you have sex with her?!" in reference to some other lady, and it's like, dude, he's a viking remember? also you are a viking.

also you are in a show called vikings

also look at that hat you are wearing

NO HATS thats why it's awesome

that's another thing, they should have viking hats. see hagar the horrible

you dont deserve a viking show

Andy Daly's show Review debuting tonight I think

as is chicagoland...

Review is okay, don't know if it's the format or what but I don't feel encouraged to return to it week after week.

i am thinking abt watching Believe
