Most people are talking all about the Hunger Games. I bought Battle Royale on Blu-ray instead.
If you're looking for an action movie this weekend and it's playing in your town, maybe check out The Raid.
Mad Men season premiere this weekend. Game of Thrones next. Looking forward to watching both.
My friend keeps telling me to check out Breakout Kings. Is that any good? Every time I see a commercial for it I think dude is being Herc from the Wire.

I'm happy that Community has clawed it's way back on to tv, but the latest episodes have been kinda whatever.
And Spatacus is also back, with a vengeance. And boobs. Not Spatacus himself obviously, the new guy playing him probably has the smallest set of man pecks on the show.
My boy told me about Battle Royale a long minute ago, and there has been some talk regarding whether Hunger Games author knew of BR prior to writing it.
It seems like some serious whitewashing to me.
My co-worker was like" yeah my daughter loved the book and is eager to see the movie". I axed him if he's heard of Battle Royale...
Ive never seen it and was curious about the Blu-Ray deluxe set. I heard the second one is wack.
i recently went down the breaking bad rabbit hole and watched 4 seasons in 2 sleepless weeks. i was literally watching the show during breakfast, lunch, on the toilet, and late night and very early morning. big big thumbs up. look forward to discussing season 5 with yall when it comes out
a friend gave me a dvd of trailer park boys and it was close to unwatchably retarded
The Killing starts next week which will keep me busy and make time go quicker waiting for Breaking Bad.
Shameless(US) is still worth watching
Challenge:Rivals still has me into it
Celebrity Apprentice.
Need to watch 1st season of Game Of Thrones..
American Pickers
Justified
I keep on forgetting to see Eat Bound And Down when it comes on so catch it On Demand.
Looking forward to Game of Thrones
I gave up on watching the Walking Dead. There's just not enough of a payoff to keep up with it.
There are a bunch of other shows I was watching but their seasons have ended like Anthony Bourdain's Layover.
This is another show friends keep telling me to check out.
The 2nd one does indeed suck. From what I've read, it's not a complete rip off. I does seem odd the similarities. Battle Royale is originally a book as well (Which I've never read).
"You know what they call The Hunger Games in Paris?"

One of my fav shows on TV. Looking forward to the next season!
I've missed most of Season 3.
I wanted to see Carla Gugino as Karen Cisco/Goodall. The same character as Jennifer Lopez in Out Of Sight.
:(
my favourite comedy of all. it takes a couple episodes to get into, that is for sure.
it's a lot smarter/funnier than it originally might let on.
Ricky is comedy gold, though! Rich-man's Kenny Powers OG.
two weeks to go, season 1 was excellent, can't wait for season 2
The finale of Fringe season 4 in the coming weeks also. I fuckin love Fringe.......fingers crossed for a season 5
Really looking forward to Mad Men Season 5, but since we only have AMC OnDemand (free), I'll have to watch episodes a week later. Or find someplace online.
Young Adult - One of my favorites that I've watched in a while. Hard to go wrong with Charlize.
Midnight in Paris - I had actually never watched a Woody Allen film before, but enjoyed this. Excellent if you like literary and/or historical references; not recommended otherwise.
Toast - Enjoyed the narrative and also related to it personally, as a child of parents with lackluster cooking skills (sorry, Mom).
The Hunger Games - Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Also surprised by the emotive and somber tone. The HD close-ups were really hard to focus on, though (headache-inducing). If you haven't read the book, don't waste your time.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - Good movie, but you have to pay attention. Lots of narrow twists.
And I've watched about a million others this year but can't think of all of them right now.
Yeah this season of Justified is fantastic. It is getting comical how they have to keep finding justification for Rayland to even be involved in Harlan County at this point, but at least it's referenced on the show "how is this even US Marshall work?"
but yeah, all the new characters are excellent and every episode has had me engrossed completely. I just watched the 3 most recent "on demand" episodes in a row the other night and now I'm caught up. I was just going to watch one but it was so good I kept watching.
