General Discussion » [Paid Members] Who wants to contribute to a summer retrospective?

My favorite film of the summer was Fast Five. This may seem like a weird choice since we had some great movies this summer, but for my money, it was the most entertaining and fun experience I had at the movies this summer. The reason the movie was the best was that it did not try to be anything else but an awesome action flick that was balls to the wall crazy with what they did. The awesome bank heist and the train sequences were amazingly well shot and Justin Lin has really hit the high mark by getting better and better with each movie in the series he directed. They also did a great job setting up the next movie with a twist that you'd probably see coming but is still cool none the less. If there's one movie that I would buy on DVD and rewatch it multiple times, it would be Fast Five.

This was probably one of the easiest quests I've done but it was a good one.

TV » What shows do you think are gonna get cancelled?

@Falcon: Doing some research just now, L&O:LA had it's most recent episode at 4.8 million watch with only 1.4 in the 18-49 demographic and it's gone down from 10.6 when it first premiered.  After the retooling, it brought in a little over 6 million with about the same as the newest episode in the 18-49 demographic.  Numbers don't lie and these are terrible.  The retooling did not help it out at all but since NBC is in last place, they may keep it just to see if it grows it's audience any.

TV » What shows do you think are gonna get cancelled?

I think that Harry's Law, Chicago Code, The Defenders, Law and Order: LA, No Ordinary Family, Outsourced and Shit My Dad Says will all be dropped.  I think that Chuck will come back for one final year just to allow them the chance to finish the story in a good way.  I think most of the shows that have been on for a while are safe since so many of the new shows this year bombed.

General Discussion » The Unofficial Screened Community Oscar Pool!

Since Robitt didn't get to finish, I'll finish for him.  I'd like to thank HT101 for pushing me to make some smart picks.  That dude is so smart and almost beat me.  Now that I'm done finishing his speech, I'd just like to say thanks to ScanCase for doing this thread and for tabulating the results.  Now it's time for me to see how well I did in terms of picks and not points.

Finished my predictions.  I personally think Social Network won't win much and that Inception will win the most awards, even if it doesn't win any of the biggest awards.  I probably won't watch but I'll be sure to at least know who wins each category so I can calculate my points total to make sure it's done correctly.

Bug Reporting » All Netflix Issues Go Here!

Like most of the users that have posted in the past week or so, I am caught in the sync loop.  On my Netflix account it shows that Screened is allowed to take my data but with the sync loop, nothing is showing up.  Also, thanks in advance for looking into the problem that we are all experiencing.

Quests » Monster Mash

I have been looking for one more cliche and I cannot find it.  I have looked through multiple movie pages and clicked on ones that I thought had to be one but none of them worked and I am wanting to punch someone or something in the face.  Could someone point me in the right direction so I don't hurt someone?
 
EDIT: Nevermind.  The very next movie I checked had the one that I was missing.

General Discussion » What is your most hated film?

My most hated movie is probably Hulk.  Ang Lee took what could have been an awesome movie and turned it into an angsty look at how much Bruce loved to brood about his past and not punch dudes in the face.  Reflecting on your past is a good thing but don't make a movie that is 80 percent brooding and 20 percent punching dudes in the face.  Thankfully, the Louis Leterrier version was so much better and was an excellent balance of thinking about the past and also punching dudes in the face.  Also, I'm glad the Hulk didn't keep growing after every time he got angrier.  Fuck you Ang Lee for almost ruining a great comic character for me.

Screencast » This Week's Behind the Screened Door coming Tuesday

Hope Rorie is much better today.  If not, bring in Ryan, Jeff and Will and talk about The Expendables the entire time.

Glad to know that I am not the only one.  I can also confirm it is only on Screened.  Both Comic Vine and Giant Bomb are working normally.

Bug Reporting » User Status Bar

Just today, my user status bar/thing in the upper right hand side of the site showed up along the bottom, like it had been before.  It shows just my icon and my name, but not in bold, with two zeroes at the end of my user name.  There is no level listing, Inbox button, or following button.  Also, the quest box on the front page is not showing up correctly as well.  I am running the newest version of Firefox.

Quests » So, when did you fail Super Sup Check?

I almost failed the Giant Bomb one but was able to update it.  I have two more days on Comic Vine's and then I'll wait a few weeks and then work on this one.
