OT2 Thread #31: Life After Everwood: Other Addictions (TV Shows, Books, Movies, Music)
 

credit: Alex

Hi guys! Welcome to the new OT2 thread #31!

This is a second OT thread that focuses on shows, books, movies and music we're now obsessed with since Everwood ended. Important: This thread is focused on promoting in depth discussion.

Reminder:
This thread is about discussing shows, books, movies, and music we love with as much insightful discussion as possible. Bring over your opinions on latest episodes, discuss characters and storylines, books you're reading, movies you're watching, music you're listening to, but please remain cordial, respect one another and refrain yourself from turning this thread into drama land.

** This board has always been very mature and we'd like it to remain this way.

With that said, and keeping that all in mind, we'd like to welcome you to this new thread! :D

Gaby's last post [I tried to move it over, but screwed up so horribly I had to create a whole new thread, hee]t:
Castle

lol! That's true. Glad you enjoyed.

Pretty Little Liars

You pretty much got everything covered as far as where to get the show, Michelle.

Fricking finally. Let us know her thoughts even if she won't post on the board! (And when are we going to AIM? Didn't get your PM or e-mail, Mitch.)

16, I think. I really don't know if they will have them wait until she's 18 though.

HIMYM

Don't think I mentioned, but I totally didn't see the countdown until rewatch.

And serious scenes are definitely, definitely Alyson's strong suit. Glad she got to show that

Thanks for the new thread, Grant, and for bringing my last post over :)

I didn't record it because I started to watch it...and guess what? I did what I usually do while watching 10:00PM shows....I fell asleep! :irked:

'Tos! Your signature! :love:

I felt that was relevant here. (Comes back in two weeks! Woot!)

You really ought to record it just in case you fall asleep again. Even if you start out watching it. 'Cause at least you know not to worry when you fall asleep :P

You're welcome. :) You have no idea what I went through trying to move it over properly and then ultimately giving up and just doing it that way! Betty was laughing at me all the way from New Jersey. :lol:

Aw, I agree with Gaby, Betty. You really should record Castle. It is on too late.

Cannnnooooot freaking wait!! :yay: And, yeah, it was going to take a really good quote to top the English major dig, but by golly, Chris Pratt delivered.

You're both absolutely right! I learned my lesson. :irked:

I'm so psyched for Glee to start Season 2 on Monday! I've heard Season 2 isn't as good as the somewhat flawed but still pretty fabuloso Season 1 and the music sounds good, so I'll be gleeking out in less than a week!

Louisa, did you see the info on the old thread as to how to watch season one Pretty Little Liars?

It hasn't been. I was disappointed with the end of last season, but this season has been more of a letdown, outside of a few good episodes.

Greek

Nice opener. It logically set up reasons for everyone to still be at Cypress Rhodes, and it set the storylines for the rest of the season in motion pretty organically. The Casey/Cappie story was good. He annoyed me, but he was pretty much acting in character, so I couldn't fault that. Glad that he manned up a bit at the end. Hopefully the writers will follow through on the promise of him maturing a bit. He can't be an immature manchild forever.

ETA: Thought Michelle at least would enjoy this little nugget:

Hurley's Numbers All Over The Lotto

Oh you know me too well since enjoyment is happening, Lol.

Wow! That is so freaky, isn't it? 4/6! What's extra freaky is the mega ball was one of the Lost numbers, too!

Here are the candidates connected to each number:

So Locke, Hurley, James, and Kwon (since we never did know which one) were involved in the winning numbers. :lol:

Seriously, that is amazing! :)

Pretty Little Liars

I will for sure! :)

Sending the second I finish this post. :)

I know. :(

Gaby, what is your reasoning for like Aria/Ezra? Also, do you like them more in the TV series or the books? How would you compare?

Lol, that's true. I wonder why that is? Why does it start at age 18? Maybe Barry, the ratings master, knows?

Did you have a chance to re-watch the episode yet, Betty?

Also, Alan, have you seen the episode yet? I am waiting for your detailed comments. :innocent:

Yes. :) Alex also watches so many shows people talk about on the thread so I really should get her back on here just to post on this thread alone. :)

If you remember correctly, I was kind of stuck on the board. :lol: Having company tonight....but will definitely try to watch after they leave. I missed the entire first half.


I do remember that she watches Dexter and Friday Night Lights.

:lol: Yes.

Good!

You are correct. :)

She also watches... Mad Men, Fringe, Chuck, How I Met Your Mother, and a few others. :)

ETA: Our conversation regarding when she's watching PLL Pilot:

:lol:

Well, I attempted to watch episode 1 of PLL and it was a cataclysmic failure as it was really jerky, I'd get one word of dialogue then it would buffer so I gave up! I'll see if I can get them on iTunes or just wait til the DVDs come out, which hopefully shouldn't be too long, though Amazon don't yet have a date for said release...
How far along is Season 3 of Castle? I get the impression that it's just started, due to there being casting for Nikki Heat's role in celluloid form, but I may be wrong. I'm just trying to gauge how bad the withdrawal symptoms will be and how long they'll last. I'm so cross with myself for blowing through Seasons 1 & 2 in about a week, as I was so into it and then it ended and I can't watch Season 3!
Has anyone seen Burlesque? I thought it was great for what it was. Cher's song at the Cabaret when she's on her own is phenomenal and man can Christina Aguilera belt it out too. Also, she looks superb rocking the natural look, with minimal makeup and straight-ish hair. Obviously, she looks great made up for the performances, but I wouldn't have recognised her at first if I hadn't found out who was in it. Kristin Bell looks great with dark hair too and she played her part of the difficult bitch very well. I still miss Veronica "Marshmallow" Mars though and wish there were more characters like her on TV!
I'm so tempted to start Being erica, but I promised myself I'd keep it for babysitting on Saturday, and I have a million other DVds to watch instead, if I so desire. There was a post-Christmas deal on, so I ended up getting 5 DVDs for 30 €, including The Duchess, Bright Star, Memoirs of a Geisha, a French film with Guillaume Canet & Marion Cotillard, which sounds a bit like The English Patient, Valentine's Day ( the February 14th equivalent of the Christmas-themed Love Actually) and then I got Lucky You in the post office, as it stars Drew Barrymore & Eric Bana, and in an electronics shop I got Thank You For Smoking for next to nothing (which probably means it's no good, but oh well), then finally at the newsagents, to pay by card I needed to spend more so got Toy Story 3, which I loved as much as the first one, which I still haven't got! Plus I still have about a dozen as yet unwatched DVDs that I bought ages ago: Dancer In The Dark, Woodstock, Schindler's List, Million Dollar Baby, Harvey Milk, Crash, I am Sam, Pay It Forward, From Here To Eternity, Out of Africa, lots of French & Spanish films, amongst others!
