Who will admit to watching "Tin Man"?

I totally want/ed to see this but I just moved and don't have cable now. More to the point, is anyone recording it?

I am DV-Ring it. I fell asleep during Part II last night, mostly because I was operating on something like 14 hours of sleep in the past 4 days.

I am reserving judgement until after tonight but so far it's a little "great idea, questionable execution".

I watched like 15 minutes of it. it was pretty corny.

i watched half of the first ep but ended up tivoing past large chunks

I saw 5 minutes of it and I wanted to punch Alan Cumming

no fairuza balk, no cred

Oh good lord.

It looked terrible. When I heard this was going to be a "dark retelling" (the balls on these guys) that's all I could think of Jordan. Much rather watch Fairuza messin it up with pumpkinheads and wheelers.

I'm tired of "dark reimaginings". People should start in on cheery cutesified versions of "dark" material.

Any crime Alan Cumming has committed in this has been done a million times worse by Zooey Deschanel and Neal McDonough.

I still like the ideas and imagery, though.

Also ppl should probably stop using Loonatics as shorthand for how refactoring for contemporary hipness is an inherently lame thing to do because that cartoon actually kind of works, against all of my preconceptions.

that actually makes me want to see it!

why is it named after the tin man?

entirely possible - they weren't in the brief scene I saw

why is it named after the tin man?

He has a much more expanded role in this version of the story, both as DG's main protector and as the only other character with a real story arc (his main focus outside of helping DG is finding his family, who were taken away from him years ago by the Wicked Witch's forces).

what is this about?

drugs are bad

child pornographers

i would porn all this zooey deschanel?

I think I watched ten minutes of this, in two five-minute chunks. I was really hoping that it would be something fun to make fun of while high, but no such luck.

what is this about?

It's basically an inversion of the "Wizard of Oz"; instead of it being about how Dorothy is dissatisfied with her humdrum life until she has it all taken away from her and she has to quest through Oz to get it back, DG is a 20-something woman who ends up in the Outer Zone via a bungled assassination attempt and is rediscovering all of the things she lost/had taken away from her by the O.Z.'s current regime as she quests through it.

OK.

Also ZD is vvv pretty but apparently can't act her way out of paper bag in this.

Some goth kid in my high school turned in this story and got a C-.

The broad from 90210 who plays the wicked witch is just as bad, if not worse.

No way, she's actually kind of great!

Well, her costumes are great.

PHWOAR

(fuck)

Her tits are a good bet for an Emmy in the Best Tits in a Miniseries/TV Special category, I'll give her that.

dan watches loonatics!

I've seen it twice, yes. It wasn't really trying to be anything other than "characters templated off of classic Looney Toons are a superhero team" and it worked pretty well as a result.

My sister pissed me off by hypothesizing that Zooey Deschanel is a mouth breather and none of the scenes countered that assertion :(

dan watches loonatics!

I read this as Who will admit to watching "Tin Cup"? and thought WELL NO ONE OBVIOSULY.

I thought about watching it, but I really hate the Deschanel sisters.

Zooey has a sister?

i recorded it but this thread makes me not want to bother watching it, so I probably won't

I am way more excited about reading the L.F. Baum bio I just bought, but jesus H. do I ever loveeee that Alan Cumming. Though I hate scarecrows. Aw shit tommyknockers tv movie.

Zooey needs to throw her agent down a long flight of stairs.

xpost Shakey: yeah Zooey's sister is Emily...aka "Bones". Beautiful family, wot?

they all like very slightly unformed. zooey gets points for 'cirque du face' in 'the good girl' and...that's about all

'look very slightly unformed' i meant

Okay, even though I was expecting that ending, that was still a gigantic load of balls.

A million points for the unintentional(?) comedy inherent in naming her father "Ahamo", though.

The balls on this thing! THE OH ZEE!!!

Take one drink every time someone says "tin man", two every time someone says "come on tin man, HAVE A HEART".

I can't believe I'm about to watch pt 2.

"come on tin man, HAVE A HEART".

OMGH That is some real McBain shit.

I can't believe I'm about to watch pt 2.

I can't believe I'm about to download part 3

It ends exactly the way you think it's going to end.

i deleted this from my DVR w.out watching one second of it. my life feels more complete and whole as a result. i did watch this week's gossip girl though

There's no place like the OH ZEE.

My favorite thing about this so far was in pt1 when evil sister bitch of the west's boob tattoos became flying monkeys. Easily.
