big fan of hunger, but like the first one than the second
The Tony Scott film? It had some interesting stuff in it and Scott's signature visual style is definitely there...

As for House of Cards, I'm a few episodes into season 2 and all I gotta say is... Holy shit!
I envy you bro! I'll be watching House of Cards only in 12 hours when I get back home! Is it big or bigbig ?
