Glorious Escapism Roleplay

I thought that since there's a similar trope for videogames, there should be one here. Here you can tell what movies, shows, etc. you're watching.

I don't watch a lot of TV. Most of it I watch with my dad (sort of passively; it's on while I'm on my laptop). We watch a lot of the Food Network's programming. And sometimes we'll watch Fox News. We follow a few other shows on other channels like Hell's Kitchen and Top Chef (he likes shows about cooking). And besides that, we watch a lot of Football (which is what I'm currently watching).

As for movies. Last one I saw in theaters was Clint Eastwood's Hereafter. Not a bad little film if you're willing to give it a chance and don't mind things a little paced.

I see. I watch different things on television, ranging from cartoons to cooking shows, to history documentaries, and maybe a sitcom or two. I hardly watch sports.

As for movies, I've just finished watching Eight Legged Freaks and started watching Tremors again.

I saw a trailer for Let Me In. I'll definitely go see it in theaters if I get the chance.

Haven't watched anything interesting either, except the football games. Haven't been able to catch up on Top Chef due to me really trying to get this stupid term paper done (fucking hate term papers...).

Haven't seen any interesting movies either. Saw 3D sounds like a gimmick, and everything else is shit. My family wants to watch Megamind though, could be something I could chuckle too, but nothing too good really.

I rarely watch anything aside from stand-up comedians and cartoons these days.

I have a hard time finding stand up comedians I actually find funny.

Eddie Murphy's awesome.

Try some English ones?

Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, Russel Howard and Ross Noble.

From Wales, Rob Brydon

Scotland, Frankie Boyle

Ireland, Dylan Moran, Dara O'Briain, Ed Byrne.

You seem to like British humour, so give them a shot.

Tell me Eddie Murphy's stand up is funnier than his movies... Not that that would be saying anything...

I do tend to like English humor. Guess I could give those a try. Not really in the mood for stand up right now though.

Eddie Murohy's stand up is miles above his films, and a lot more adult-orientated.

Good. The dude has to have been in more completely unwatchable films than just about any actor.

I think one of my favourite American comedians is Chris Rock.

And Eddie was doing stand up way before films. Hestop talking about sex, drugs and shit like that after all the kid's films.

Haven't heard much of Rock's stand-up material either.

Just talking about adult stuff isn't enough to get me to laugh.

Delirious is the one I have.

Coolage.

It all depends what style of comedy you like.

I like surrealism, hence Bill Bailey and Eddie Izzard.
