LOVED the show, even the later seasons weren't so bad.  As long as Jennifer Carpenter is back, I'll be really happy

That seems unlikely.

On a separate note, the books it's based on are very different. I preferred the show.

Until the end.

didn't watch the last season because i had heard it went completely off the rails

You did the right thing. I loved that show and the end ruined the whole thing.

I didn't see this one coming.

Used to enjoy watching this twisted show.

It was great until the last episode.

Worst ending ever.

Maybe this new series will rectify that.

I've thought of you often as I wade through my oddest golden age-'wonder if Bob has this?' and well,with the fires in your state just about everytime I turn on the news I think of you and my other Cali chums.

I've been keeping busy don't get me wrong-I just noticed I was hiding/biding a lot of time online and between the garbage and politics on fb and folk bickering on here,it was just getting me really really down.I decided to be gratefull for the bonus time I'm blessed with and spend the summer outside and deal with people hands on.With the overdoses and drug epidemic literally at my door I've done as much outreach work as I can this summer.Be it handing out naloxone kits to businesses and educating people how to use them maybe help save a life to dropping off ziti casseroles to friends,aquaints that I know are hungry and need a meal,just stopping to talk, let someone have some pets with the dog I've been busy my friend.

Got any spare Mystic vol 2#2 kicking around? 

And what do you think of my superhero outfit I designed for when I do superjimmers stuff?

 

A young Johnny Depp!

Little throwback to Gav/boozad ancient history.

This year's just been too much for me-thinking about logging online's enough to give me the screaming mimis,just unreasonable dread and these damn panic attacks and manics..whooboy.mental wellnotness.Finding two dead people outside my door,ovedoses was tooooooo much.They fell part in my flat when I opened the door.Noooooooooooope.No fun

I've been reading ooodles and oodles of comics though..gasp...modern stuff!The local dollar store get's in trades and collections of Marvel sometimes,four bucks a piece!Even some yucky DC hardbacks,but I'm getting through the Marvel stuff before I visit that.

Siege Battleworld was COOL.

So,what have I missed?Gossip me.Who is mad at who and stuff.

I knew what the tune would be before I played it.

By the way, Johnathan Majors has been really good with HBO's Lovecraft Country. This was a great casting grab.

Lovecraft Country is great - though the sound always seems to be ropy.

It was already taken? 

I heard two guys talking on a subway once about something like that.  They said that they knew a guy that had a specific username blocked.  So the blocked user changed their name, releasing that old username back into the wild.  This meant that another account could adopt that username and pick up the reigns.  

So for example, if Dylans_Conscience was used and then blocked, if the original user changed their name, the original user would still be blocked but Dylans_Conscience would be free to be used by anyone who wanted it.

But... that's just an example. 

That sounds like a whole lot of McNuggets.

For those who've seen the movie - did you wear a mask the whole time you were in the theatre?

That's old and isn't an official poster for the 2020 film.

It's a Jaws rip-off.

I'm assuming you have not read the series - definetely some spoilers as to how they may be going in there.  The show has not followed the book exactly but it's been pretty close from what I can remember.

I'm on the fence with the first 3 episodes.  The writing has been ok but it does seem a tad slow and drawn out.  The previews make it look like things are going to start heating up soon so I'll wait and see.

I've read all the comics.

They are setting up Hughie against Butcher.

That's were his character development will come.

I get it. It is just odd when people selectively focus on height when with other productions they go blind to such concerns.

Lee Child complaint at first. Then supported the Cruise casting after seeing the first film. Then changed his mind afterwards in noting Cruise is tool old and short. At least be consistent.

I'm guessing he liked the money he got and the extra publicity Cruise gave to his work. Then, when they decided not to make any more Cruise/Reacher movies, his opinion changed.

I like the first Cruise/Reacher film but it's more than just about his height for fans of the books.

Hard to pardon: why Tenet's muffled dialogue is a very modern problem

I think that's a mistake. He might have the physical presence but from what I saw in Titans he doesn't have the acting chops.

And he seems too young for the part.

The best line of E7-9 was Finn's in TFA: I'm just here to get Rey.

The Rey/Finn relationship was the only interesting relationship in TFA.

Finn was pushed aside in the sequels.

This is all true.

I watched the first two episodes of season 2. I’m finding it a bit slow.  So far, I prefer season 1.

I enjoyed them, though I don't know why they're wasting time on the Deep's story - he's such a dull character, nothing they do could make him interesting, even getting him involved with an obvious Scientology rip-off.

What's the problem with Geoff Johns?

I've got a full run of Starburst from the first decade or so.

Finished it last night and it was thoroughly enjoyable. One of those rare shows which makes its villains genuinely interesting, plus it didn't rely on a 'monster of the week' theme like most other shows and was driven by character arcs - including the villains - from the start.

I wonder what Sigmund Freud would say about this cover.

It's hot, baby.

But you don't really care for music, do you?

I had a very hard time finding any connection with this version of Penny Dreadful.

Absolutely - there wasn't any. In fact, there was very little supernatural element to the whole thing. 

I think it was confused about what it wanted to be and just threw the Penny Dreadful name in to attract viewers. I only kept watching because the locations were fantastic and Nathan Lane and Natalie Dormer were great.
