[quote=Chypmunk]Amazon is doing my head in - bought a present for the wife that I want to keep secret from her until the appropriate time and of all my orders Amazon keeps showing that one order as a "Buy It Again" option on various pages.

Customer Support were next to useless when I asked if there was a way to ensure those features didn't select 'sensitive' items: "Oh that's just how our site was designed for all customers". Yeah, clearly designed by a useless sack of sh*t who obviously never had any need to buy surprise presents for a partner.

Gah!!!!

Sorry, just needed to vent.[/quote]

[quote=doubledenim][quote=Austruck][quote=John McClane]I've been going back and re-reading reviews about the show, and I don't understand the dislike that some had for Buscemi's casting as the main.[/quote]
That's funny. In my previous shout I was going to mention that I never really "got" Buscemi as the lead. He's got that 98-pound weakling vibe about him so it was a stretch for me to see him as a strong, intimidating boss. But I do like him as an actor so I'll give it another shot.[/quote]

[font=century gothic]A girl in my dorm at Wilmington dated the guy who cut his face. I mean, you have to believe that, right? Why would she lie about that :lol:[/font][/quote]

[quote=John McClane]And in the final season when they do the flashbacks to establish how he gets the power. Well then, holy crap it makes that character that much more complicated.

Or maybe I’m just a nerd?[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Think of it like this: what does a guy like that have to do to get power and keep it? He’s gotta be ruthless.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Oh, you didn't even get into the good stuff. The 2nd half of season 2 was peak television. Season 3 was my favorite, but the whole show gives me warm and cozy vibes.[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=John McClane]One of the rare HBO shows not ruined by its ending. I’d even say that last season was one of its best.[/quote]
I quit that one somewhere in the second season, but it might have just been because I was busy on those nights and never bothered to go back and watch on demand. I might have to pick it back up. I tend to enjoy most HBO series that have any kind of historical feel to them. 

But don't get me started on bad series endings. I still have PTSD symptoms over the ending of Carnivale five minutes later than it should have ended. :D 

I will say this: HBO's Six Feet Under had perhaps the BEST series ending I have EVER seen. Perfection. I rewatch the entire series every year or so because it's just that good all the way through. It didn't really have a bad season... or episode.[/quote]

[quote=The Rodent]Holy cow... flicking through the channels and [i]Santa's Summer House[/i] (2012) is on TV :D
I thought Uwe Boll movies were bad.[/quote]
