It wasn't the best episode obviously, but it pushed the storyline that it was suppose to. So I don't think it was that bad.
-
Yeah the whole premise of Wilfred is odd, but I thought the first episode was a good. It's weird, but I'm interested to see more of it.

I thought Falling Skies had a very solid debut show last night. It wasn't amazing or anything, but I look forward to see how they progress with all the storylines. What's some other people's thoughts?
-
I'm going to be checking it out, the previews look decent so I hope it's a good show.

Beyond Good and Evil. The game has it all, stealth, action, exploration, puzzle solving, photography good story. It's recently been re-released in HD on XBox Live and PSN. Great, great game.

Did anyone catch Terriers when it was on last year? I finished it up a few days ago after watching it through Amazon, and damn it was a great show. Such a shame that it had low ratings and cancelled, it was really well done. The humor was great and the acting was great too. If you have any interest, do yourself a favor and watch a few episodes, Terriers was awesome.

Hell on Wheels is a contemporary Western that centers on former Confederate soldier Cullen Bohannon, portrayed by Anson Mount, whose quest for vengeance has led him to the Union Pacific Railroad's westward construction of the first transcontinental railroad. Developed by Endemol USA and produced by Entertainment One (eOne) and Nomadic Pictures, Hell on Wheels is created, written, and executive-produced by Joe and Tony Gayton (Faster, Uncommon Valor, The Salton Sea, Bulletproof). The series is slated to premiere in the fourth quarter of 2011. (Check out the first-look video of Hell on Wheels above.)
Hell on Wheels underscores the network's commitment to the Western, following its first original mini-series event, Broken Trail. The mini-series premiere, in Jun. 2006, was the second-most-watched cable movie since 1995 and delivered the network record ratings, including an average 7.7 household rating and nearly 10 million total viewers over its two-night airing.*
"AMC's commitment to the Western is long-standing, and the genre is an important part of our brand and history as a channel," said Charlie Collier, president of AMC. "In Hell on Wheels, AMC is creating another epic and enduring American story."
In addition to Mount (City by the Sea, Cook County, ABC's Line of Fire), Hell on Wheels stars musician-actor Common (Just Wright, Date Night) as Elam, Dominique McElligott (Moon, The Philanthropist) as Lily Bell, Colm Meaney (The Conspirator, Get Him to the Greek) as Durant, Ben Esler (The Pacific) as Sean, Phil Burke (Mercy) as Mickey, and Eddie Spears (Into the West) as Joseph.
Hell on Wheels tells the epic story of post-Civil War America, focusing on a Confederate soldier (Mount) who sets out to exact revenge on the Union soldiers who have killed his wife. His journey takes him west to Hell on Wheels, a dangerous, raucous, lawless melting pot of a town that travels with and services the construction of the first transcontinental railroad, an engineering feat unprecedented for its time. The series documents the railroad's engineering and construction as well as institutionalized greed and corruption, the immigrant experience, and the plight of newly emancipated African-Americans during Reconstruction. Hell on Wheels chronicles this potent turning point in our nation's history and how uncivilized the business of civilization can be.
Joining the Gaytons as executive producers are Jeremy Gold, Endemol's SVP of scripted programming, and John Shiban and David Von Ancken, who directed the series pilot. eOne's CEO, John Morayniss, and SVP of creative affairs, Michael Rosenberg, oversee production in partnership with producers Mike Frislev and Chad Oakes at Nomadic Pictures.
Shot on location in Alberta, Canada, the series is produced with assistance from the government of Alberta's film-development program.
AMC's Joel Stillerman, SVP of original programming, production, and digital content; Susie Fitzgerald, SVP of scripted programming; and Jason Fisher, SVP of production, oversee series production for the network.
Endemol holds all television distribution rights across Europe, with eOne selling Hell on Wheels in all remaining territories. As a leading international content distributor, eOne also handles worldwide rights for DVD, Blu-ray, video on demand, and digital distribution.

Didn't see a topic about this, if there is I apologize. I've recently gotten big into the old western stuff and came across this show on AMC's site. AMC has a very good track record at the moment with Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, The Prisoner, The Killing and Mad Men, so I have high hopes for this show. There's a short clip of the show on the website. It's suppose to be starting up sometime in Q4 of this year, so I pumped for it.

I bought into the hype on these games for a few years. Ever since HCTP, the first SvR wasn't bad, all the games in the series have been slow and boring. I finally gave up on them after the 09 version, and until I see some gameplay videos on this new WWE '12, I'm just not going to believe the hype.

Read Santiago: A myth of the far Future last week. I thought it was a very good enjoyable book that is a space western. Plenty of unique characters and the book is similar to Firefly.
-
It was a decent episode, and Walker was right, it picked up at the end.
-
Will they still make a sequel to this even though Zuffa now owns Strikeforce?
-
Yeah it was cool and am looking forward to the next episodes. Does anyone know how many they are going to make?

1. Inception
2. Seven
3. The Terminator
4. Shawshank Redemption
5. Point Break
6. Fight Club
7. American History X
8. Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid
9. Memento
10. Terminator 2: Judgment Day

I caught the first episode of Lights Out last night. It was a very well done show and the acting was very good, I'm interested to see how the show progresses.
-
I cannot wait for this touney to start. If Overeem is in the brackets, I got a Fedor and Reem final. Without a doubt the best heavyweight match up on the planet, and I think Fedor would win it.
-
I enjoyed the demo a lot and was pleased to see the AI was upgraded in the full game. I really feel it was worth the money, as I find career mode to be really fun and challenging in the later stages on the Legend difficulty. It would be mice to see the sales of the game improve so we can see MMA 2, and we won't have a one horse race with the UFC game.
-
Totally disagree with you JohnnyPerfect, I feel that the demo is a very enjoyable and more realistic interpretation of MMA than the UFC game. The controls are very simple to learn and overall the game is very fun to play once you figure it out. I cannot wait for the game to come out.
-
Just got back from seeing Inception. Awesome. There was never a dull moment and....
I liked the ending since they didn't give a definitive answer. I was pulling for it to fall, but I'm sort of glad that we don't know.
9.5/10
Agree with you 100% Inception was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the entire film it was just so great.
-
Breaking Bad is a damn good show.
-
I have to go with T1. I know a lot of people that like the second one better, but for me I like the first the best.
-
The Terminator, Fight Club or Shawshank Redemption I can't pick just one.
-
Could somebody put the tv show WWE Superstars logo on this:
I'd appreciate it.
-
I've never heard of him either so I'd change it to 70-75 range unless you can find some better info on the guy.

Watched From Paris With Love tonight and really enjoyed it. I didn't go into it expecting some deep storyline and am really glad I spent 8 bucks to watch it. Travolta was funny and most of the action scenes were really fun. Good movie, 3/5.

So who's going to be watching the new season starting tonight? This is probably my favorite show ever and I am super pumped for it.
