  1. Actually he said 'screwing.' I still don't understand in a show as violent as TWD how AMC didn't allow the more appropriate 'fvcking' in that instance. It was only once Negan's character (who supposedly swears a lot in the comics) appeared did the show start allowing words such as sh!t. Not sure if fvck has been used in TWD yet but it was used in the season finale of FearTWD. That same night, Star Trek Discovery also used fvck. On the DVD version he says "f***ing". They filmed it both ways and decided not to drop the F bomb for some reason. I agree, what's the point of censoring language on a show like this? I don't get it. Didn't know that. Retrospectively it was still an odd decision by AMC to not allow it as it had already been used for a Breaking Bad episode previously.
  2. Just saw her in concert last Friday. No kidding? I bet she was solid, yeah? She sounded good. It was a small venue so it was clearly her voice. I'm not a fan of her music but went with a friend. It wasn't her solo but as one of a trio of singers who played mostly songs from their recently released album. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/luxeco-living/liv-on-olivia-newton-john_b_10927118.html
  3. Here you go RK http://celebmafia.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/marina-diamandis-nylon-magazine-2015_1.jpg Thanks. She looks so wholesome in that pic.
  4. One of you Jeff fans shifted their vote to Al ! Shifty bastards! Don't think I don't know who it was too... :sarcastic: He lacked the courage of his convictions. Fine. We don't need wishy-washy on the good ship Jeff. :poke: http://media1.break.com/dnet/media/265/910/2910265/a-href-httpwwwscreenjunkiescomtagjeff-bridges-514-class-linkify-target-blank-jeff-bridges-a-leaning-on-ships-wheel-in-white-squalljpg.jpg I wonder who it was?
  5. 577-- Birdman Of Alcatraz (1962). John Frankenheimer directs this biographical film of Robert Stroud (Burt Lancaster) who keeps birds in prison and becomes a leading expert on them. Lots of great supporting work from Karl Malden, Thelma Ritter, Telly Savalas, Edmond O'Brien and Neville Brand. Totally forgot about this one.
  6. 148-- The Larry Sanders Show (1992-1998). Hilarious behind the scenes look of a fictional talk show hosted by Garry Shandling's title character with real celebrities playing themselves. Also stars Jeffrey Tambor, Janeane Garofalo and the terrific Rip Torn.

  8. Maybe..... Marina Diamandis? "http://celebmafia.co...ine-2015_1.jpg"
  9. 574-- Notorious (1946). Hitchcock has Ingrid Bergman play a woman asked to spy on her father's Nazi friends in Brazil by an American secret agent played by Cary Grant. Claude Rains is great as a man that falls in love with Bergman's character.
  10. 143-- Freaks And Geeks (1999-2000). Another cancelled too-early show. A comedy set in the very early 80s. A few Rush references all(?) involving Jason Segel. Also among the cast Linda Cardellini, James Franco, Seth Rogen and Joe Flaherty.
  11. David Gordon Green is a decent director (George Washington, Pineapple Express, Joe) but another Halloween movie doesn't excite me.
  12. 571-- Modern Times (1936). Another inventive Chaplin comedy starring Paulette Goddard.
  13. 137-- The Bugs Bunny And Tweety Show (1986-2000). A show with classic animated shorts. Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote probably my favourite parts.
  14. 136-- Hannibal (2013-2015). Mads Mikkelsen portrays the hungry title character. Great dream-like quality. Love the opening credits. With Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne. Can't believe it made it onto 'regular' TV given it's subject matter.
  15. 569-- The Birds (1963). Tippi Hedren stars in Hitchcock's 'horror' about birds attacking people. Akira Kurosawa's favourite Hitch film.
  16. I like Eastwood but it's funny that he's the leading vote getter for his 'acting' but Woody Allen is no where to be found.
  17. 567-- Pineapple Express (2008). Stars James Franco, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride as 3 bumbling stoners caught in a drug war between rival dealers. The underrated David Gordon Green directs.
  18. 135-- Spartacus: Blood And Sand (2010-2013)/ Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena (2011). Stars Manu Bennett and Lucy Lawless. The show lost a bit of it's soul after season 1 with the passing of original Spartacus actor Andy Whitfield who died of cancer and Hannah leaving, although they both appear in the prequel mini-series S:GOTA.
  19. I don't think where they land on the list matters, at least to me. The numbering is there to keep track of how many we've picked, who chose, etc. Just because TBBT is listed ahead of The Simpsons is in and of itself meaningless. I haven't been picking shows in order of personal best/favourite, but just in whatever comes to my head first, and sometimes someone else's pick influences what I choose next. The same can be said about the Top 500 movies thread, at least for me.
  20. 565-- The Lady Vanishes (1938). My fave British era Hitchcock film? A young woman is certain that an older woman has disappeared from the train they're on. Will any of the passengers believe her and help unravel the mystery? Stars Margaret Lockwood and Michael Redgrave, father of Lynn and Vanessa.
  21. 128-- Late Night With David Letterman (1982-1993)/ Late Show With David Letterman (1993-2015). Never saw his short-lived morning show. His 80s late night show was the best, as good as Carson. Once he moved he was still as good as anyone else but somewhat muted, like most late night TV.
