The new season is starting right now on Australian TV. I don't think I have the patience to wait until Thursday night when I can watch it on Monday night.
Great episode let down by the excruciating airport scene. I've worked at an airport. There are cameras everywhere. The unclaimed baggage would probably have a camera in every corner. It was way to sloppy a set up.
Opened to $1.3m in Australia against Madagascar 3 2nd weekend of $2.6m.Although they opened one weekend apart in Australia. HT opened with less then half of Loopers OW yet in the domestic box office HT doubled Looper.
Large chunks of Looper's target audience would have been otherwise engaged on the weekend. On Saturday afternoon the AFL Grand Final was watched by 4,053,000 in home viewers and on Sunday evening the NRL Grand Final was watched by 3,867,000 in home viewers. The best for both since 2006.
I have that problem as well. I love these kind of mythology shows. I find it much easier to suspend my disbelief when it's something mystical or alien. When the main premise is something science based and they start getting it all wrong it really starts to bug me. This whole "no more electricity" thing isn't entirely working for me yet. But we'll see. Maybe the writers have some kind of WTF angle that will blow our minds. I just hope we don't get to the end of the first season and find out it's something very lame.
Seems like they just can't show the "No animals were harmed" message. http://www.avclub.com/articles/yes-animals-were-harmed-21-films-and-tv-shows-that,72051/http://www.americanhumane.org/animals/professional-resources/for-producers-filmmakers/post-production-services.html
Every movie has this statement in the credits but what happens if an animal is harmed or killed? In what movies has this occurred? What do the credits say?
Just watched the pilot. I'll watch every episode but at this stage I don't like it's chances for a second season. Just seems like a mish-mash of things we've seen before.
Look at the current order of movie marathon number 4.http://www.eventcinemas.com.au/movie-marathons?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=Banner&utm_campaign=octmoviemarathonhomepagebanner060912
That's one of the other things that annoyed me about the sequels. They were pretty much all on sound stages whereas in The Matrix it was filmed around the CBD. I have to give it to The Matrix as well.
