Yeah, I just googled it. The waiting list would be years if they put all the applicants in a list, but it's actually a lottery so there's a very small chance you could apply tomorrow and get lucky!
 
I have to say no other show makes me laugh so much.

My favorite episode is with the Reliant Robin...

Tried to watch this today, bored me to death. I turned it off about 40 minutes from the end. Easily the worst Korean movie I have seen. So to restore my faith, I watched I saw the devil, again, awesome :)
 
lol I don't think I've ever read a movie review before going to see a movie.
 
sorry about that. i could of sworn infernal affairs was Korean. my bad.
still, the plot line left a lot to be desired. I would have liked to have seen Ja-sung at least show (other than the opening scene) how he rose among the ranks so quickly in 5 years(or did i miss something?) . granted i was slightly distracted for the first 15 minutes of the movie.

You are right in that the movie does not explain that, but I do not remember being distracted by that. I guess it's what we accept as a given in a crime drama. Though, the epilogue does explain a bit of that 5 years ago.
 


Leith, North Dakota is a registered ghost town of 16-24 people. Its inhabitants are mostly farmers or ranchers, with land passed down generation to generation. The town has an apocalyptic beauty set against a prairie backdrop of wide-open sky and fields of wheat.

In May of 2012, an outsider named Craig Cobb moved in and started buying up property. He accumulated twelve plots of land, some empty, some with houses in various states of disrepair. People figured he'd moved in to be close to the Bakken oil fields some 70 miles north. Turns out he was a notorious white separatist who was plotting a takeover of the city government. Shortly after his plans were unveiled, a family of fellow white separatists moved in to start fixing up his properties.

Leith, N.D. is a short film offering a glimpse into a town struggling for sovereignty against one man's extremist vision. Filmed in the days leading up to Cobb's arrest for terrorizing the townspeople on an armed patrol, Leith, N.D. is an eerie document of American DIY ideals played out in one of the most under populated states in the nation.

They're still getting funding for the movie, but it's crazy stuff. I hope these Nazi a******s end up on the losing end.
 
as stated in the general tv thread they did eventually put this on demand (the first 10 episodes) but by the time I remembered to look for it and started watching it I had like 8 hours to watch 10 episodes, I binge watched the first 8 but as soon as it ended the last 2 were removed. hopefully BBCA does a marathon during the lead up to S2.

AMC is developing a drama based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon comic book "Preacher," the network has announced. News of these plans first broke in November, but today AMC and Sony Pictures Television officially confirmed that the project is in the works and will be executive produced and written by the ("This is the End") team of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. "Breaking Bad" writer and producer Sam Catlin will serve as executive producer and showrunner.

"Preacher" was published by DC's Vertigo imprint and ran from 1995–2000. Here's AMC's summary:

"Preacher" follows Reverend Jesse Custer, a tough Texas preacher who has lost his faith, has learned that God has left Heaven and abandoned His responsibilities. He finds himself the only person capable of tracking God down, demanding answers, and making Him answer for His dereliction of duty. Accompanying Jesse on his journey is his former girlfriend and a friendly vampire who seems to prefer a pint in the pub to the blood of the innocent. On his tail is one of the most iconic bad guys in print – an immortal, unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers – a western lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse.

"This is amazing!" said Rogen and Goldberg. "We've tried for seven years to work on 'Preacher' and we're so psyched AMC is finally letting us. It is our favorite comic of all time, and we're going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!"

"Steve Dillon and I are very happy to see 'Preacher' being developed for TV, which seems a much more natural home for the story than a two-hour movie," added Ennis. "Between them, Sony TV and AMC have brought viewers two of my favorite shows with 'Breaking Bad' and 'Mad Men,' and it's exactly that kind of creative commitment and courage that 'Preacher' needs. Obviously it’s taken a while, but Ken Levin along with Neal Moritz and his team refused to give up, long after the point when I myself grew skeptical, and their unrelenting enthusiasm for the project has gotten us where we need to be.

"I’m particularly impressed that Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin understand 'Preacher' fully -- meaning they get it for what it is, not some vague approximation. All in all, it looks like 'Preacher' can now be brought to TV in a way that I'd previously not have thought possible, and I very much appreciate that Steve and I have been included in the conversation in the way that we have."

AMC has had great success with "The Walking Dead," which is also a comic book adaptation.

Hope it succeeds. Preacher would be great in a TV format.

That sucks. I'm sure they'll have a OB marathon before season 2 starts to refresh viewers, it's gonna be like a year since the first season.

You like what you got to watch?
 
Yeah, so far I really enjoy it. The teasers/commercials I saw for it before it premiered made me think it was going to be something like Alias or perhaps Dark Angel, so I was a little disappointed that it wasn't that type of show.

Still, I'm invested in the characters now and can't wait to see what happens in the coming season.
 
Cool. I didn't have any expectations myself when I watched it. I heard a bunch of good stuff about it, however, it never really stuck with me, I didn't even know I had BBCA, it is buried deep at the bottom of my channel line-up. When I did watch it though I was hooked. Now I can't wait for season 2
 
Blade of the Immortal (too bad the anime series ended too soon, never did get completed):



Afro Samurai



Akira



Hellsing



Dragon Ball ( I did watch from the beginning until the end of Dragon Ball Z, never did see GT)



My Neighbor Totoro

Back to Death Note (post 5), I would even recommend it to people that normally don`t like Anime:

Episode 1 (English Dub):

Dredd is good. Pity the sales.

Anyway, can anyone explain by Robocop is in a rubber suit? I still cannot get it. Totally NOT badass.

I still remember the original Robocop was so badass, & I had a poster of Robocop in my room from buying the toy at the department store as a small kid.
 
Anyone actually planning on going to see the movie in theatre? I might go and check it out. It's been YEARS since the last time we see Robocop on a big screen and it's finally coming out next week!
