Binge watching Justified has led me to two major conclusions.

1) I fucking hate the intro music.
2) Art's the one who deserves his own show.

He spends a couple of days riding around with you while you're looking for him, and now he's run off with a hooker that's half his age. That's some bad-ass shit."

Laughed. So. Fucking. Hard.


Gobdamn me, I agree with Pariah.

I gave this a miss when it was first shown on theaters because local marketing tried to sell it as a Filipino version of Neeson's Taken, and I didn't want another attempt to make money by ripping off flavor of the month films. Turns out the marketing was not only inaccurate, but also a disservice to the film.

Alagwa is not an action film. The lead character is not an action star, and the only fights he got into in the entire film is with a pedophile and a pimp, and it was pretty much one sided because the former was overweight while the latter is a coward who symphatized with him and wanted to help.

It was a very uncomfortable watch. I'm a relatively new father and the events in the film really do happen in the country: children being abducted and sold to god knows who (or where.) The main incident that caused the protagonist's son to get abducted comes off as a stupid move on his part, but it's still all too real. I can imagine less paranoid fathers committing the same mistake.

Some of the situations felt contrived (not going to spoil the specifics, but he did find his son in the end, although it's not exactly a happy ending.) but the actors are good enough that the scenes still work.

The film is released overseas with subtitles.

Also, these last two seasons are so damn predictable. No matter WHAT story development occurs, the Deputy Marshals are always one step ahead of everyone. There really is no point in twisting and turning the plot if the immediate result is always the same.


I'm in the middle of season five. The machinations between Boyd and the Crowder's are good. But the whole Ava in prison thing is a complete mess and one of the most clichéd things I've seen on television in years.

That being said Art is still the fucking man.

And pariah: note I said I'm in the *middle* of season five.

Binge watching Criminal Minds currently. Just got into Season 7. I might jump into the recent seasons of Supernatural next.

The final season of Justified left me disappointed and underwhelmed. Or maybe I just wanted more. I don't know.
Watched all of "Bones." Not bad.

Have had some unexpected down time. Kicking it off with a Beast Wars marathon.

First season visuals have not aged well.

They rushed parts of the last two episodes but overall I liked how Justified ended.

That particular image was during the first four seasons, so it gets a pass.

Checked it out again, had no idea that movie had tons of cameos, and had people that would move on to greater roles (it even had that Japanese chick from Torchwood.)

Yeah, it's great isn't it?

It's like.....really cool.

I know it's Jaburg's favorite too. He's the one who recommended it to me, I think.
