The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 6: TS-19

the-walking-dead-ts-19

When I first saw the previews to this episode, I was kind of at a loss. I didn’t know if I was angry or excited, but one thing was for sure: the producers ensured audiences that this series would only take what it needed from the comics and carve its own path. If at any point the show lost a portion of their audience, this episode would be the one that pulled them out.

It’s still a controversial episode, even with the producers jumping back in to the comics in recent episodes. “TS-19” is not a bad episode it’s just not a very necessary one. It’s both a season and series finale that leaves the characters on the road to an uncertain path; just in case AMC didn’t pull in enough ratings to justify a second season, or simply couldn’t afford another season.

Brian Pittman’s Best of 2014

I have to admit, when Felix asked me to write up a list of my favorite films of the year, I wasn’t sure I could swing it. I didn’t get to the theater nearly enough and I feel like I missed out on a lot. But I was able to construct a list and I ask everyone to bear in mind, these are only picks based on what I actually was able to see. With that having been said, here we go.

Serena: An Adult Fairytale (1979) (DVD)

At a little over an hour long, “Serena” really is a listless twist on “Cinderella.” This time, we meet Cindy, a slave for her stepmother, who beds men every night, while Cindy watches in corners masturbating and trying to get in on the action. There’s not much of an explanation for anything in the movie, as “Serena” seems to excel on being baffling and weird in many instances. Plus, I’m fairly certain most of the cast were high during the filming.

Sweet & Perverse Milly (1989) (DVD)

The reason to see “Sweet & Perverse Milly” is for Milly D’Abbraccio. She’s a mind blowingly sexy, and insanely vivacious woman who dominates the eighty minute movie she headlines with her insanely gorgeous body. Normally foreign erotica can tend to drag, but D’Abbraccio just grabs every bit of attention every time she’s on-screen, and knows exactly what she’s working with, and what she’s doing to the audience. One 7 Movies brings the Milly D’Abbraccio spotlight to the fans with a fine restoration of her 1989 movie.
