Elmofongo: Is this why TV shows are more popular right now? Like Game of Thrones, Walking Dead, etc.?

Mr.Caine: They do take more risks and people behind the camera there have much more creative freedom. Then again it's basically renaissance for TV shows nowadays. Though something as shitty as The Walking Dead is certainly not part of it.
I am just waiting for my Samurai Jack Adult Swim relaunch to happen.

Every time I hear the bullshit about the renaissance of TV shows today I want to throw up. Showing some tits and violence is not taking creative risks. If I was to make a list of top 50 TV series I think the only one from the last decade to make the list would be Gravity Falls, which has already concluded, Kings (cancelled after 1 season), and Doctor Who, although it has pretty much gone to shit the last couple of years.

I love me some tits and violence.

I love stories that has an edge to it, that has balls.

Game of Thrones had the balls to show a nude walk of shame on TV.
I somewhat disagree, the level of skill has gone up generally, not to say there isn't plenty of cheap cash grabs, but I think there was a point when they were just making a lot of shit, they seem to have realized it's easier making good films hoping to get a sequel than bad ones lately.

Movie thread is filled up with really good solid movies, I'm calling bull on bad movies, Southpaw, 10 Cloverfield Lane, Everest, Straight Outta Compton, Black Mass, The Revenant, Sicario. Not too mention recent, Mad Max, Fury, John Wick, Gone Girl, Interstellar, Night Crawler. A couple upcoming, The Nice Guys, Hail Caesar! Inferno.

I'm calling bull on bad movies. Saying the Coen Brothers or Christopher Nolan make bad movies is incorrect.

No Country for Old Men > The Big Lebowski.

Big Lebowski is the only Coen brothers movie I kinda like :D I can't stand anything else I've seen of theirs. No Country for Old Men is a pretentious snoozefest, utterly devoid of any worthwile substance and insufferably smug about it's supposed gravitas.

No Country for Old Men probably one of my favorite movies, no doubt. :P

Burn After Reading was brilliantly funny.

Have you seen Raising Arizona? That was a classic!

Have not seen that one. I've seen Big Lebowski, Fargo, Burn After Reading, No Country for Old Men and True Grit. And I am not subjecting myself to any more of their movies.

Fargo has to be the most ridiculous crime story. A case of an idiot hiring two other idiots, solved by a bumbling pregnant mom. Awesome. Can't really remember if they were kidnapping or extorting someone, but it was a huge mess. :)

I found it tediously boring, filled with pointless conversations about nothing. No tention, nothing that would either make me think or excite me. It's even weirder considering I really like Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan, and those two movies are very, very similar. But Raimi managed to make his a really tense character driven movie, while Fargo just kind of oozes onwards until it finally ends, never being funny enough to be a comedy, tense enough to ba thriller or well written enough to boast any decent drama.

But yes, I know people love it, love pretty much all the Coen brothers movies. I know in this conversation I'm basically the guy on the street corner with a "The End is Nigh" sign. Whatever. I call it as I see it, and I ain't giving an inch.

I read a lot of true crime books and watch a lot of true crime shows and the twisted thing is, that movie had nothing on some of the shit that really happens. XD
