Am halfway through an English crime series called Suspects.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IJZZ8W8/ref=s9_dcbhz_bw_d53_g74_i1_nw?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-4&pf_rd_r=16KWGYST2H9Z02SBARGZ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=458843727&pf_rd_i=283926

Like a lot of English shows I've watched lately, not great, but pretty darn good.

There are 2 short series available and I've nearly finished season 1.

I'd give it a solid 7 to 7.5.

 

I'm on it!

And the question remains: Is TV trying to tell us something or are they just showing what they see?

Unless they all live in San Francisco, they are not showing what they see. They are trying to influence to accept their version of reality. Quite frankly, the propagandizing gets on my nerves, but young people probably don't even realize that it is happening.

I do not want to hijack this thread and go all political etc., but this fits in:

Two high school girls are accidentally and falsely "outed" as gay, which they are not. The whole thing is a complete misunderstanding but it makes them very, very popular over night, so they play along. I could not believe that this made it to a second season (it is really, really bad).

[jope]

New shows--not looking promising. Gotham maybe?

I liked the "State of Affairs" review. That alone could kill it off.

I mean, Katherine Heigl, is there a woman in this world less desirable? Even Doris Day had more appeal than her (no offense to anybody who likes Katherine Heigl... or Doris Day, for that matter). I read, Heigl produced the show herself. Would make sense. Who in his right mind would give her such a role?

Saw "AtoZ". Any further comment would be superfluous (Bernard Trink would say).

"Blackish" might be fun (would David Fishburne play in a crappy show? I hope not!).

I will give "Manhattan Love Story" a chance. It is the "Peep Show" principle (we can hear what people think while they talk and listen). They will probably mess it up, though.

"Marry Me" is more or less a reincarnation of "Penny" from "Happy Endings". That is sufficient for me. I will watch it.

And I agree, "Gotham" is probably the most promising among these shows. The trailer is not too bad.

For the rest: I wonder who gives money for these "shows"? But maybe it's just me. That would explain it.

Jope, I could think of a few mate.

Clearly you have never seen the Australian actress Magda Szubanski

Thanks for bringing my world into perspective. On the other hand: if she is a good actress...

So, are we in the grip of a GAY CONSPIRACY??? Why haven't I heard about this on Fox News?? Hannitty!! Get on this! As the great Robert Downey Jr. says in Tropic Thunder (as an white Australian playing a black American soldier) "Hey, this is Hollywood! Everybody's gay sometime!"

I agree: Robert Downey Jr. is great!

And I propose this: if we continue discussing gay presence on film and TV, then everybody who answers must do so with at least one quote from a TV-show or a film directly referring to the topic. I would like to hear the honorable (founding!) member BookMan on this proposal.

I have developed a serious "thing" for Franka Potente from The Bridge. I would volunteer to be Eleanor's 'pet', if she would visit me every day and feed me acorns, and say "Is it safe?" a lot, and tell me stories. Well, I'm late to the party but she has a big role on the cancelled show "Copper", about the doings of the NYPD back in Civil War days. I watched the first episode last night, and there was Franka, the number one attraction at a middle class level whore house, wearing a dress (part of the time) and acting "normal." I think I like the Eleanor version of Franka better, but I'll take what I can get. Turns out that big dragon tattoo on her shoulder is real, because she has it in "Copper." I hear she was good on season six of The Shield, but I can't stand that Michael Chiklis guy. Maybe I'll check it out anyway. The only cop show(s) with more obnoxious characters than The Shield are (IMHO of course) Chicago PD and Graceland.

Copper reminds me somewhat of that new show, The Knick, which showed three episodes but seems to have been off for a couple of weeks.

[Frank James]

As for the "gay thing"...Masters of Sex brings back all of the extreme homophobic attitudes that existed in America until fairly recently. (not that those attitudes disappeared, but it's better now.) It's really rather heartbreaking to watch how Beau Bridges' character, Dr. Scully, tries to "cure" himself of his gay "sickness," after his wife of thirty years finds out. She can't understand how he could prefer sex with men, but still be deeply in love with her. (One sentence SPOILER>>>>>) Poor guy undergoes shock treatment, and then opts for the final solution, thus far unsuccessfully.

Another horrible thought! If I like that show (MOS), does it mean I'm...........GAY???????? It's a show that would seem to appeal more to the ladies. It's Hollywood, baby. Lighten up!

It is not just about gay stuff. It is a bunch of things. One thing that really gets on my nerves is all the macho women soldiers in films/TV who are supposed to be as tough as any man. Women have much less upper body strength and very few are capable of doing the things that even an average male can do.

In the USMC they are trying to change the fitness rules for both sexes, because most women are not capable of the same exercises as men and we can't have reason to point that out.

By the way, I really liked Robert Downey Jr. as a second banana. I have not been that impressed with him as a leading man.

Copper reminds me somewhat of that new show, The Knick, which showed three episodes but seems to have been off for a couple of weeks.

It was covered by all major papers in Germany, when Franka Potente made it to "Copper". Of course, whenever a German actor plays in an American Film or show it is news everywhere. Only the German "Spiegel" rated her performance as rather poor. But their film critics are well known/notorious for being completely off. General attitude is: when the people from "Spiegel" say a film or show is a good thing, better avoid it and vice versa.

BTW, "The Shield" made it into police jargon: "going Vic Mackey on someone". I liked the show except for the last season. What a depressing finale!

"The Knick" episode 4 will air tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

I just watched the latest ray Donovan again, as I must always do, because I always miss some details the first time around. I don't think it's any sort of a SPOILER to say that Ray will need to make a list to keep straight the names of all the people he needs to deal with SOON in a very heavy fashion. We're running out of season, alas.

Just one name...Lee Drexler. It's tricky because he pays Ray so well, but if anybody ever needed a beat down, it's this punk.

This is one of the disappointments I experienced over the last few film and TV weeks: „Life of Crime“.

A wealthy mans wife is kidnapped while her husband already filed for divorce to leave her for a younger woman who is more or less a prostitute. Now he is somehow reluctant to pay 1 Mio. $ for his wife’s safe return. Cast includes Jennifer Anniston and Tim Robbins.

Calling it a disappointment is a bit harsh, the film is not that bad, but it is advertised as a comedy and that it is not. It had a few moments that could amuse but in the end it falls into the category of drama and crime. „Life of Crime“ is alright and it is decently played but all in all I did not see a story worth remembering. And I simply expected something completely different. 6/10?

[jope]

Here is another one: „Dom Hemingway“.

A criminal spends 12 years in prison without giving up his accomplices in the heist that led to his prison sentence. Now he is released and he receives his share plus bonus. Not surprisingly, he cannot handle money, booze and hookers and his behavior gets a bit over the top.

The first half is not bad, seeing Dom (Jude Law) acting out while his friend Dickie (Richard E. Grant) is barely able to keep him under control. Then, when he tries to reconnect with his daughter (Emilia Clarke) the whole thing deteriorates to Kitsch-level. Two reasons why I would give it 7/10 nevertheless: Demian Bichir, whom we know as Detective Marco Ruiz in „The Bridge“ plays a mobster with a Russian accent (I think). The whole story takes place in England, so it is British English all the time (the EastEnders’ version of British English, of course).

[jope]

And one more: „Are You Here“. Cast: Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis (shaved!), Amy Poehler.

One would expect some light comedy. And it actually is funny, but it also has some more serious stuff in it that is supposed to make one think about life and all the rest: Galifianakis plays a man who is rather disoriented due to some mental problems, Owen Wilson is his true friend with a successful but otherwise meaningless life that includes lots of drugs and good looking women. There is also an inheritance, a sister who wants it for herself (Poehler in a serious role) and a girl who seems to be a gold digger but is not.

Well, I did not fall asleep and watched to the end. I guess, it’s something like 6 or 7/10.

[Will27]

Jope, you were a lot more generous and forgiving of this movie than I was.

I just couldn't see the romance/love interest at all. Zero connection IMO. Nothing much else made a lot of sense and it struggled with laughs. 2/10 from me

Owen Wilson is one of those guys whose very name on the credits GUARANTEES that this is going to be a turkey! Many would disagree, but I can't stand this guy's acting, or his face. The Darjeeling Express could have been OK without him in it. The all time worst was his channeling of Woody Allen (the original is more than enough), in Midnight in Paris. The female lead was a girl version of OW. I think everybody has a mental collection of actors who we cannot abide. I call this in honor of my all time worst character the George Peppard Memorial Trophy. George is still the King in my pantheon of crap actors.

A few more...Hugh Grant; Shia LaBoeuf; George Hamilton; Daniel Sunjata; Adam Sandler; etc etc.

Zack G was all time funny teamed up with Robert Downey Jr in Due Date.

Thanks for that one. I watched it and agree it's campy fun. While watching it I was thinking it was a Guy Ritchie film (Snatch, Lock Stock etc.,) featuring low lifes doing low life crime stuff. Quite shocked to see Jude Law maxing that role out, he really made it worth watching. Didn't know he had that range.

If you like the Guy Ritchie stuff you'll like this one.

Thanks for adjusting my perspective...

...again.

But I admit, I have some trouble serving the x/10 system. My own little definitions are: with 1s and 2s I throw up and/or switch off after a few minutes, with 3s and 4s I feel just uncomfortable and/or switch off after a while. Nothing of that kind happened, so, this one must be a 5, at least, I think, or what?

It's okay to stick with whatever system you have mate, we are use different judgement systems for rating a show/movie. I can watch a 1/10 through to the end, but as I have said before, i watch most of my stuff while I am using the computer, so a 1/10 just gets less of my attention

We all have different tastes. I just watched "Midnight in Paris" a couple of days ago for the first time and thought it was excellent. I was just about to mention it in this thread. Owen Wilson "channeling" Woody Allen was what made it work so well, much to my surprise. He is not someone whose name attracts me to a film, but I have nothing against him either. I just would not think that he could pull off dialog obviously meant for Woody Allen.

What I like about Woody Allen films is that they always sound really boring to me, but - after I force myself to put them on - they often turn out to be really exceptional.

Midnight in Paris (Woody's 41st film) was Woody's most commercially successful film ever, probably due in large part to ( I hate to say it) the box office appeal of Owen Wilson! A lot of people like this guy. He made big $$$ for the producers of those "Rush Hour" movies with Jackie Chan. M.I.P. wasn't a bad film. The scenes with famous people like Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Gertrude Stein were great, and of course the City of Paris is so endlessly photo/cinegenic.

I kept wondering if Woody was instructing OW to play it as if he's Woody, the bumbling bundle of nervous uncertainty. It just came off rather weird. And the girlfriend should have gotten dumped in the Seine.

I like the old Woody Movies...Take the Money and Run..Play it Again, Sam (Starring and written by Woody, directed by Herbert Ross), and Broadway Danny Rose.

And I still think James Spader should've

won the Golden Globe.

If James Spader had not been in it, I doubt that I would have watched it in the first place! But I am a little worried that his style and his character will wear off over time. And then we will be left with a few rather good action scenes and, lets face it, a lot of funny stuff that cannot be taken seriously. But until then, I am in.

And I think one thing will contribute to a good second season: the ruthless husband is out of the marriage picture, so, our girl can concentrate on the real stuff and does not have to apologize all the time. The shift of the husband's character was rather entertaining, though.

I also liked Owen Wilson in Wedding Crashers

The Blacklist: I was surprised that I liked this show so much. It's completely ridiculous in so many ways, but still, I'm back every week, wanting more. Spader is just...(as Frank Booth might say), so f'ng SUAVE! Spinning those anecdotes about his life with other criminal masterminds, sipping wine, fine dining, the fine art, the fabulous pads, and the clothes, better yet, his HATS. True Borsalino, Baby, and he handles them correctly when he puts one on or takes it off.

Lizzy I can take or leave. She's supposed to be such a genius, but she can't even tell Spader is her father. (SPOILER?? I think not.) Are they going to keep that charade going this season? Worse yet, even after repeated warnings, she couldn't see that her husband was up to no good.

I was sorry to see the guy who played Skinny Pete in Breaking Bad appear in this show as one of Spader's crew, only to be quickly eliminated for treachery. And it really bummed me out when they killed off the Indian lady (Meera Malik) who was the CIA member of the team. Great voice, and darkly sensual.

The husband will be back, that's for sure. ("Tom Keene", the elementary school teacher, married to an FBI agent?? Please!!) He was so annoying, I am adding him to my George Peppard/Owen Wilson list of seriously bad actors/talentless prettyboys.

Alan Alda makes a good bad guy, almost as good as the Greer character on Person of Interest.

[Frank James]

The Bridge, s02 e09 SPOILER SPOILER! CAN"T HELP IT. Gotta Talk! Go no further if you ain't up to date. You were warned.

Almost a ruined episode due to the waste of time and insult to our intelligence, the bit about "The Chopper," abducting Sonya, taking her out to the desert, digging her grave while she is allowed to hop around unattended...Such bad writing. He seems like a moron. Can't believe Fausto is down to using a clown like this guy.

However, we got to see a lot of Eleanor (be still, my heart!) doing her evil stuff, and a brief Eleanor/Charlote girl fight (no contest there.)

Best of all...THE SHOOTOUT! Two minutes of legendary film that Sam Peckinpah must be smiling down upon, from the Theater in the Sky.

Dumbass Huge DEA Guy decides he's gonna take down Eleanor's crew, and then go right on over to lasso Fausto. Can you believe this clown? Eleanor sends him a text from Red Ridge. He runs out there with no backup, and Hank, usually such a straight-thinking Old School Lawman, goes along.

They go running in, unaware that THREE of Fausto's best asesinos are right behind them, fully equipped with assault rifles.

What a mess! The DEAD:

Two DEA guys, three Fausto guys, one innocent notary lady, and Chip the real estate agent.

Wounded: Hank (badly hit, escapes out the patio door) Charlotte, playing possum, Cesar knows, lets her get away with it. Oh, didn't you see her eye move? Her name is on the main credits, she can't get killed, yet. And where is that bum Ray, when you need him? Lyle Lovett stayed home, rolling fat ones and watching his band play on Austin City Limits.

Survivors: Eleanor, somehow un-scathed, YAY! Cesar (flesh wound,could get sepsis later) , and Jaime the Tool Boy, who eats all of Chip's store-bought crappy cookies.

Meanwhile. Marco rescues the ungrateful Sonya and easily kills the Chopper, just in the knick of time. And she's STILL giving him s--t about being a friend of Fausto! Does she ever say "Thanks, Marco, you saved my life AGAIN." Oh no, not her. And whenever she finds out Hank is 3/4 dead, clinging to life in the ICU, she'll probably still be breaking his balls, too, over shooting the unarmed (what a shame!) rapist/murderer of her very own sister, Jim Dobbs.

I love this show. Only four more to go. Unseen this time: Eva and Steve, Bob the Preacher, Ray the Useless Surfer, and those nosy reporters.

"You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay." From "40 Year Old Virgin."

I love that line! I didn't know that anyone else cared.

Much/all of that scene, and the movie, was improv.
