I have refused to click on that 15 minute dealio as to keep myself geeked.

Sorry Steve

Ok I watched it. I forgot how little we've progressed through the books.

What joke is that?

 

I haven’t kept up with the newer episodes but I catch the reruns on TBS all the time and have really enjoyed it the past few years.

 

I’ve only caught them sporadically but the shows Men At Work and Ground Floor seem pretty funny as well.

Men at Work is decent, I really liked Ground Floor. No idea if they're renewing it, though.

That long tracking shot on True Detective was classic.

I was into Ground Floor. It was fun. We'll see if it lasts.

It really was amazing. What a close out to that episode

I was into Ground Floor. It was fun. We'll see if it lasts.

I agree. Wasn't anything amazing but it was an enjoyable 30 minutes.

Anyone else watch Do or Die on Nat Geo? I'd be so dead in 90% of those situations.

That long tracking shot on True Detective was classic.

 

It was an amazing achievement; very cool and artfully done. However (and I feel almost guilty mentioning this), as soon as I became aware of what the director was doing, my experience as a viewer was jarred; I started consciously watching for how they were doing things technically, instead of just watching the action as it unfolded. To that extent, it was almost a distraction; the director may have better served his story by not "showing off" like that.

You're a total outlier. The average viewer wouldn't really pick up on that. I work in TV and have edited for years and I was so entirely consumed and enthralled by the scene that I didn't even realize it was continuous until someone brought it up to me the next day.

Yeah now I'm trying to figure out which scene you guys are talking about...

The final scene of the show from the time they entered the drug den until they jumped in the car to escape was one shot

I just watched this last night. I didn't notice the one long shot while I was watching it, but now I can look back and realize how well done it was.

You're right, of course. I only noticed it because I became obsessed with that type of shot after watching Goodfellas way back in the day.

The most impressive thing about a shot like that, is it takes every actor being pretty much perfect. There was what, at least 15-20 actors in that shot? MM and 3 bikers, about 5-6 people in the drug den including the kid, about 5 in the other house where the guys were pulling out the guns, the cops that rushed the house, and woody harrelson. Just an awesome scene, showing off or not.

Another top notch Justified

Isn't it also possible that part of what makes a scene like that so consuming and enthralling is the way it's shot continuously like that, even if you're not consciously aware of it? I'm sure there's things going on all the time with editing, camera work and direction that I'm not conscious of but that really do make the scene more enjoyable.

So...are they setting up Shameless to end with Fiona giving Frank a part of her liver to make nice with the family?

Didn't think of that but that makes a ton of sense, actually.

Me neither, but it does.

 

Definitely didn't notice that in the True Detective scene. That's really well done.

I know there's a lot of good tv on tonight but anyone watching the Beatles tribute?

 

 

I DVR'd it, and can't wait to see it.

 

I finally watched this last night... If you are fan of The Beatles, this is must watch material. There were a couple of bad performances (Annie Lennox was awful, as was Katy Perry), but a ton of REALLY excellent ones. Something by Jeff Lynne, Joe Walsh and Dhani Harrison was just awesome. The Let it Be duet between Alicia Keys and John Legend was surprisingly good. The sets by Ringo and Paul were vintage and awesome.
