LongLiveYorke 38 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 When you get a chance, go see the movie "The Departed." It's amazing and should (at least temporarily) renew your faith in movies. Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcaster 0 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Studio 60HeroesHouseLostGrey's AnatomyEntourage24WeedsThe SopranosMan that is a lot of TV. Most of those shows follow the same basic formula which I can't stand. TV sucks right now in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

TV sucks right now in my opinion.you must be high. tv right now is the best it has been in years. the only basic formula is that most of them are an hour long. monkey forgot the office too, which is the best comedy on tv right now.

SBriand 4 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 In the past you would never see movie stars ever do a TV show. Now TV is filled with them. The movie industry has been faltering for years and TV is where it is at. You may not like the TV that is out but even movie execs admit they are losing the battle. Link to post Share on other sites

It's amazing and should (at least temporarily) renew your faith in movies.That's because it's a remake of a Hong Kong movie, sure the talent is American but they had to get a story somewhere else.

You forgot about The Shield, Deadwood and The Wire.I think that's why you're seeing so many "movie" actors doing tv now. The major networks realized that cable stations were on to something with shows like the shield and rescue me etc. The networks are trying to capitalize on that same kind of buzz, but, for the most part, they won't allow them to be gritty or "real" enough. They're getting closer to duplicating those kinds of well done and successful shows, but they're not there yet, for all the reasons laid out in the first episode of Studio 60.

I don't think they even want the freedom, to be honest. They seem to almost fight AGAINST loosening restrictions. Link to post Share on other sites

Curb Your Enthusiasm is also great (as is seinfeld and family guy)Star Wars and Lord of the Rings are awesome though. Link to post Share on other sites

It's themes deal with what you're saying.I think you'll get a kick out of Judd Hirsch's rant a la Network. Link to post Share on other sites
