I'm a fan of both British and American TV. I watch more American (mostly because there is so much more of it) but I love both. I must admit I'd never consciously seen the difference between the two as far as whether the shows focus on plot or character, but regardless I find I have an appreciation for both.

That's a bit of a fence-sitting answer, but whatever lol.

That's kind of what I hate about a lot of American TV: its character-centric-ness. So many shows think they only need to throw in "quirky" characters and that will make a good show (or one that will sell anyway). I can't stand those kinds of characters because they so frequently do stupid things that no one with their personality/background/etc. would do.

... Have you seen British sitcoms?

I'm looking for some more Japanese rock and metal bands, preferably ones that sing entirely or mostly in Japanese. I already listen to Maximum the Hormone, X Japan, Abingdon Boys School, D'espairsRay, Dir En Grey, Girugamesh, Malice Mizer, Mantenrou Opera, Rentrer en Soi, and Versailles
 
You won't need luck, it's amazing! I saw it during the week without having read the book and I was sucked in. The book is now the next one on my list to read after I've finished the book I'm reading now!

Despite what the media says, it's not the new Harry Potter or the new Twilight. It's something totally different again.

The movie may be different to Twilight and Harry Potter, but the fanbase of The Hunger Games is exactly the same to the Twilight and Harry Potter fanbases, possibly all fanbases. I haven't even read the books or seen the movie and I'm starting to get sick of The Hunger Games already.

Does anyone know of some decent J-Core..? I have been interested in finding some since I sometimes like crazy Japanese happy-hardcore techno. (Like the style of Medely of Pokemon)

I don't know any J-Core artists that do Pokemon remixes but here's a few J-Core artists that mostly create original work and/or do Touhou Project remixes:

REDALiCE [1, 2, 3]
P*Light [1, 2, 3]
DJ SHIMAMURA [1, 2, 3]
MUZIK SERVANT [1, 2, 3]
Betwixt & Between [1, 2, 3]
DJ Laugh/RoughSketch [1, 2, 3]
DJ Technetium [1, 2, 3]

I've linked some 'darker' J-Core but most of it's happy hardcore and such.

If you have zero tolerance for hype then I think you'll find there will be a lot of things that bug you in your lifetime lol.

As for whether it will be the big money-maker, it's only March. I think it's way too soon to tell.
 
I think everyone is getting their hopes up too high for this series. Gonna see the movie in a few hours so I'll have a better idea if it's going to hold up. I mean, HP had a really bad first movie, but only the 3rd movie was actually good so I'd be surprised if this first movie isn't that great and somehow the others were good.
 
I'm not sure if you're just trying to be inflammatory or if I'm misunderstanding your post. Either way, using Harry Potter as an example of a bad movie franchise is kind of dumb lol.

The only one I'd say was really bad was HP5. But, I'd say the same for the book. It's my least favourite in both mediums.

But HP1&2 weren't bad. They were good. I don't think they've aged particularly well. They're more like Wizard of Oz than the original Star Wars. They were well-made, well-reviewed, popular, and game changers (first one anyway). But, at least for me, they don't lend themselves well to multiple viewings. Original Star Wars I can watch over and over though. HP3 does, and I hated that movie when it first came out because of how it differed from the book.

But, HP3 has probably aged the best. Yes, it's different than the book a bit, but it had some great pacing. It was engaging. The first two Potter movies (moreso the very first one) were very pedestrian in their adaptation and now kind of boring to sit through once you've seen it. But, still good films. And still worth seeing at least once.
 
I'm not trying to be inflammatory this time. The 3rd HP movie is the only movie I would own and watch again. It's not a good movie if you never want to watch it again. Maybe that's just how I think of it because I'm pretty harsh about a lot of things, but that's what I do.

And HG was better than I thought it would be.

Spoiler:
 
There's a nice provocative title change! :D Although most people here know that I have no real opinion on the HP film franchise, having not seen any past the first.

In other news, I'll be off to the operaaaaaah in a few hours. First time for everything, even if it's over three hours long, in French and I have to watch it standing up. Oh well; it's about time this place got a little bit more 'cultured' as well as media-d. (That made more sense in my head.)

Glad to see that you all haven't killed yourselves in my absence! :D

Anyone seen/read The Hunger Games? It's the new Harry Potter, the new Twilight, so we're all now expected to know about it now.

I'm scheduled to see it this weekend. Wish me luck.

I read it and I saw a cam recording of the movie. Its film adaptation is much better than most of the Harry Potters (PoA, OotP, and DHpt1 being superior) and all of the Twilights (naturally), but fails in comparison to the book (like many adaptations). It's hard to tell what's really going on with Katiness throughout the movie if you haven't read the books. I feel they left out three major important plot points. Personally, I feel if you watch the film before reading the book, you're doing yourself a great injustice.
