Wasn't Jason Bateman in The Bates Motel ? (which was a made for TV movie, I believe).
Uke, you are in for a WILD ride with SFU, what a fantastic show. It really made me think more about death. :dead: And I'll tell you this much, THAT show went out in style...unlike Carnivale and Deadwood which weren't given a chance. :(
Be sure to visit the SFU thread(s) here and let us know your thoughts. :)
Saw The Cat Returns from Studio Ghibli (based on an idea by Miyazaki, though he didn't direct it) today. Very good movie, also. It's a testament to the quality of Studio Ghibli's work that this was apparently geared toward preteen Japanese girls, and yet I enjoyed every second of it. Maybe not as much as, say, My Neighbor Totoro or Spirited Away, but pretty close.
Oddly, the statue of The Baron from Studio Ghibli's Whisper of the Heart is a major character here, but the story is far more magical than WOTH, which is mostly realistic. It's almost like Kilgore Trout from Vonnegut's novels: the character will show up in every book, but rarely, if ever, is actually the same.
Thanks for the info there DA I didn't know there were so many Psycho movies.

Good to hear that the show ends/wraps up in a good way. That really is comforting to know. Carnivale got the shaft and the lack of some closure with that show really sucks something awful. I haven't seen Season 3 of Deadwood yet so I'm not sure how that one went out.Quote:

The past couple of days I watched a few more episodes of Six Feet Under so I'm almost done with Season One. I should be able to start Season Two sometime this weekend. I still love the show. All of the characters are fantastic, yet they are so different. The show makes it work though, really well might I add. That Brenda sure is something else. I love the premise too; how they start a show off with someone dying and the show revolves around the main characters' personal lives while fitting in with the business aspect of it, setting up the funeral, talking with the family, etc. It is very well done. I won't really elaborate too much more on the show incase there are people who have yet to see it and might want to watch it sometime in the future (which I would highly recommend). It is a very enjoyable show and I look forward to watching it everyday. :thumbsup:
Deadwood went out worse than Boba Fett in ROTJ.
Yeah, live and learn I guess.Quote:

I saw Norbit last night, hoping it'd be as funny as "Coming to America" or "The Nutty Professor". I was a bit disappointed, though it had its moments.
Last night I watched a pretty bad movie called The Grudge 2. It failed to deliver on almost every aspect. I really enjoyed the first one, much like kidhuman ;), but this sequel was more than disappointing. It was awful. If you didn't like the first one, don't even bother with this one. If you did like the first one, I still woudln't bother with this one.
I also watched a couple more episodes of SFU and the show continues to impress. I haven't finished season one yet but I should either today or tomorrow.
I saw Smokin' Aces and I feel the need to take a shower on account of the sleaziness. :D
Eddie Murphy hasn't been funny since the '80's.Quote:
