- could we talk about... columbo?
i love this series. peter falk really found a home in the character.
it had this interesting schtick where the murder is quite obvious, often occurring during the opening credits. the guest star of the week attempting to pull of some perfect murder and then columbo seemingly stumbling around them attempting to solve it.
each episode wasnt about who did it, or how they did it.. it was all about the mistake made that would lead columbo to the truth
columbo deserves a reboot, or at least something columbo-like. are there any shows with a similar format?
anyone have any fond memories of columbo?

- The Contestant: Reality TV show saw man live on competition prizeswww.bbc.com The Contestant: Reality TV show saw man live on competition prizes
A new documentary revisits the "sadistic" 1990s reality show which preceded Big Brother.
Tomoaki Hamatsu, known as Nasubi, was left with only a pen, some blank postcards, a telephone and rack full of magazines.
But he was not there to read. The concept of the show was to see if a human being could survive on competition prizes alone.
In order to win the challenge, the value of the prizes he won had to reach a certain financial threshold - 1m yen, around £6,000 at the time.
He would not emerge for 15 months, following a gradual descent into depression and mania, driven by hunger and isolation. Nearly three decades later, Nasubi's ordeal is being revisited as part of a new film that has just screened at the Sheffield Documentary Festival.
"I came across his story when I was working on a different project and got lost down one of those internet rabbit holes," recalls Clair Titley, director of The Contestant.
"But I found that a lot of what I had come across was almost derogatory. Nothing had really talked about Nasubi's story in depth. [I had] all these questions such as, why did he stay in there, and what effect it had on him. So I contacted him with that premise, that I wanted to make a film about his experience."
- Hunt for Gollum: are Ian McKellen and Viggo Mortensen being quietly dropped?www.theguardian.com Hunt for Gollum: are Ian McKellen and Viggo Mortensen being quietly dropped?
News of Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis’s eyebrow-raising return to Middle-earth seems to have passed the two stars by. Are Aragorn and Gandalf to be replaced?
Just how exactly did Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis’s shocking plan to return to Middle-earth with the forthcoming The Lord of The Rings: The Hunt for Gollum come about? Let us imagine the duo kicking back in Jackson’s Hobbity New Zealand pad with a good batch of Longbottom Leaf, several cases of miruvor wine recently delivered from Lothlórien, and plenty of seed cakes and cold chicken. Conspicuous by their absence from the party, however, unless something distinctly fishy is going on, are Viggo Mortensen (AKA Aragorn, AKA Strider, AKA King of Arnor and Gondor) and Ian McKellen (AKA Gandalf, AKA Mithrandir, AKA that bloke with the pointy hat and the fireworks). Because neither seems to have been so much as consulted about the new movie before it was announced to the public.
If it turns out that The Hunt for Gollum really is about this minor segue – and honestly, how could it be about anything else? – it seems remarkable that nobody thought to tell McKellen and Mortensen what was going on, even if only to prepare them for the fact that, at 85 and 65 respectively, they might be better off priming themselves for replacement by younger actors. If that is the plan, the team behind this most unexpected new episode are probably regretting not communicating it earlier. For this week McKellen told the Times he would be quite up for starring as Gandalf once again – if he lives long enough.
This follows Mortensen telling GQ last month that he would also be interested in returning as Aragorn provided “I was right for it in terms of, you know, the age I am now and so forth”. Both actors implied they had not been told anything about the new film before it was revealed to the public, with McKellen saying he had heard only “stirrings in Tolkien land”, while Mortensen said: “I don’t know exactly what the story is, I haven’t heard. Maybe I’ll hear about it eventually.”

- The Matrix review – barnstorming sci-fi still calling our reality into questionwww.theguardian.com The Matrix review – barnstorming sci-fi still calling our reality into question
The movie that launched a million memes has lost none of its conspiratorial power, and its action sequences still dazzle – but was it actually trying to tell us something we’ve all missed?
The Matrix 25th Anniversary re-release
To paraphrase Apu in The Simpsons, this was the year filmgoers were partying like it was on sale for $19.99; it offered the vintage of American Beauty, Fight Club, The Sixth Sense and more. But The Matrix seemed to me then – and seems to me now – more exciting than any of them, first among equals in the previous century’s final graduating class. Rereleased for its 25th anniversary, this barnstorming sci-fi paranoia thriller, produced by action veteran Joel Silver and written and directed by the Wachowskis, holds up tremendously well. The martial arts sequences choreographed by Yuen Woo-ping are gripping and nothing about the bullet-time effects or production design feels dated. Even the ringing payphone – an unexceptional detail in 1999 – now looks like an inspired steampunk touch.

SSN Bad Communicators
Nice slice of life film showing US Navy seabees building a undersea missile platform... from the very start the movie shows us really poor abilities to communicate. Throughout the whole film I feel like i was watching a indictment of macho culture, get it done at all cost bravado. The movie had lots to say about culture!
The alien was pretty interesting, nothing too over the top, cave creature
Why did the captian flood the research station? (to make sure they left him behind? or to end the pain quicker?)
Snyder - The utimate jobsworth, detonates 6 nuclear weapons because he can't communicate... This was... wow, I'm not even sure where to start here. Cabin crew resource management failure? No lone zone on nuclear weapons? No critical thinking skills? I know were supposed to hate Snyder as a person, but I think the real problem they are talking about is lack of decision making skills everyone here displays.
The biggest enemy in this film is the crew itself!
Overall I enjoyed it, worth a watch

- Eruption: James Patterson finishes Crichton passion projectwww.bbc.com Eruption: James Patterson finishes Crichton passion project
Michael Crichton's widow asked bestselling author James Patterson to finish his volcanic thriller.
Eruption takes readers on a thrilling journey through Hawaii's biggest island, which, unbeknown to its residents, hides dangerous military secrets dating back decades.
There has been no formal screen auction yet - but Sherri Crichton, who discovered her late husband's unfinished manuscript over a decade ago and controls his estate, told BBC News she was now in talks with Steven Spielberg about a possible big-screen adaptation.
Sherri knew Patterson, the world's biggest thriller writer, who has read all of Crichton's novels, was the one she wanted. And after being sent the unfinished manuscript the 77-year-old signed up to complete it.
They had to go through reams of "meticulously organised" scientific research, some so dense Patterson had to hire a researcher, in Alaska, to help.
And in under a year, this "unprecedented literary collaboration" was completed.
