VIHC.net VAN ISLE HARDCORE BOARD

hey whatever happened to the currently watching thread? It's probably here somewhere, but whatever lets start a new one.


I watched martyrs.

I didnt like it.

anyone else see it?

making my 3rd pass on Game of Thrones, meandering thru 30 rock and just finished off Workaholics.

Watching a lot of Anime at the moment (I luvem Crunchyroll):

"Fist Of The North Star" which is quite possibly the most metal show ever made.

"Gintama" (made to episode 50, only 200 more to go). Super funny pisstake on Japanese pop culture, every episode I have seen is has had a lot of laughs.

"Level E" which is really weird mix of comedy and horror / action that is chock full of WTF? moments.

"Parasite Dolls" Olderschool, gritty sci-fi Anime with an Akira like art style. Liked it a lot.

Films:

"The Million Dollar Hockey Puck" (VHS)

A Canadian kids movie with a crazy often dischordant synth soundtrack and plenty of greasy footage of 1975 Quebec that ends with some shenanigans at a Habs game and one of the stars practicing with the team!

"Kill Factor" (VHS)

Great, silly B attempt at a James Bond / Chop Sockey hybrid complete with "Odd Jobs" and George Lazenby. Has a gun battle between dudes in a helicopter and a cable car as well as a snapping turtle being used as a threat during an interrogation (I shit you not). Also known as "The Freeze Bomb".

"Ninja The Violent Sorcerer" (VHS)

Batshit crazy Hong Kong hybrid car wreck of a film that mixes Ninjas, hopping Vampires and gambling. Quite possibly the most abrupt ending ever. Super funny dub and thoroughly entertaining.

"He Died With A Falafel In His Hand"

Rewatched this one on Netflix. Ultra funny midlife coming of age from down under. Must see.

Still got a stack of VHS to work through. . .

Shit I almost forgot . . .

"World Gone Wild" (VHS)

Entertaining post-apoc starting Bruce Dern as a drug addled Vietnam vet shaman and Adam Ant as a smarmy evil cult leader. Can't believe I hadn't seen this one before. Totally watchable.

Cheers

people watch Workaholics?

only cool people. one of the best shows. you wouldnt get it

"Happy People: A Year in the Taiga" Dmitry Vasyukov + Werner Herzog

Beautifully filmed and and worth watching yet at the same time superfical and unquestioning fluff piece on the lives of trappers in Siberia. What makes it particularly odd is that it could have easily been filmed in northern BC / Yukon / NWT (I knew a guy that came from a family of trappers when I lived up north in my earlier teens that could have been the son in this film).

The dudes are bad asses, no question but would have liked to haven see some big picture examination (why does this industry exist at all) as well as the reality of small town living beyond some token drunk first nations folks. Or less of the National Geographic pandering voice over bullshit.

lately I've been watching adventure time. It's quickly become my favourite show, I don't really know how its a kids show more than helf of it must be flying over their heads.

I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone who enjoys thing like fun, having fun, and fun times, also dungeons and dragons.


I've also slowly been working my way through the hellraiser series, two more left and I'm done. everything after 2 has been pretty silly, with 5 being the best of the sillyness.

trailer park boys. fucking genius.

Am I the only one who fails to see anything good about Trailer Park Boys.

yes

Well better than all of you guys then.

finally got into Freaks and Geeks!

TPB is okay is spurts. Like an episode every few months maybe.

Game 7 of the 1979 Stanley Cup semi finals. The hated Boston Bruins vs. The Montreal Canadiens. Holy shit, watching Guy Lafuer fly up and down the ice is like watching poetry in motion.

Freaks And Geeks
AD (for the 3rd or 4th time) in prep for new season
Parks And Rec
Pan Am (SHUT UP IT'S GOOD KIND OF)

Watched A LOT of the Walking Dead marathon as well as the season premiere. It was dope.

Also

i love having a dvr. any ways been watching lots of adventure time still. ive seen 90% of season 1 and 80% of season 2, and maybe like 1/3 of season 3. loving it.

watched that new walking dead. MEH. fingers crossed that it doesnt descend into a bunch of talking again. Thats probabbly my one complaint, still to much fuckin talking.

i thought that new episode of walking dead was one of the strongest of the series.

It was really good. I thought it started to lag a little just past the halfway mark, but it really picked up at the end. I'm excited to see where they take the story as I don't think they can reasonably take on the pedophile storyline from the books.
