    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Maybe not; I know I am in the minority here, but one of the most intricate and intelligent Bond movies, The Living Daylights, was universally panned. But it was a plot that was closer to Jean LeCarre than any other Bond. And yeah, I really like/liked it. Fans and reviewers hate it. Bond films...

    House of the Dragon

    You will never see anything branded or referring to the Doctor Who series with the abbreviation of "Dr." It was a nerdy joke-- but it is completely true. The "Whovians" would be outraged.

    House of the Dragon

    Guess there wasn't enough porn for them. But seriously, GoT was filled with violent torture-porn (as well as just plain ol' porn too--actually probably TOO much plain ol' porn because it became distracting to the show at times. In plain ol' porn, that can't happen. Only plot can get in the way...

    House of the Dragon

    I want to agree with you, but I clearly slept through too much of episodes 1 & 2. So my opinion could not be entirely valid.

    Geesh-- It's DOCTOR Who... That's like saying I never watched Star Track... ;)

    Oh okay-- that helps. Does the Kalessi's great-great-grandmother have Downs? Is that also part of the diverse casting?

    House of the Dragon

    I had a hard time staying awake during both episodes. Even with evil Doctor Who... Actually did nod off on episode 2 for a bit, despite trying to hang onto consciousness. Maybe the show should be called "House of the Drag-On..." Why the hell is there a black Targaryen? I mean I know this is a...

    She-Hulk

    Why are they not dropping all the episodes at once? Episode one was okay. A lot of people dissing on Marvel/Disney, but damn; Jessica Jones is still the best thing they have ever done. This was just lighthearted dopiness that dragged on with the Mexico shit too long. Maybe they will take it...

    Evil

    Finished season 3. This show is great. Great acting, really good characters, can be funny, smart, scary and off-the-rails crazy. It's great. Please don't get canceled.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    I had a roommate who was a studio musician for this album. Jesus Christ I have heard this song 10,000 times. And, weird as it sounds, my former roommate sounded better than Howard Jones. Dude is living in a huge house on a beautiful lake (and is still doing studio tracks for other people and...

    How can there actually be a cocktail called a Negroni these days? It was delicious, though.

    Single greatest song ever written?

    And what about U2? They went the opposite direction. From a catholic rock band to the greatest band in the world then off to suck-ass land. Can't take away the art from the artist even when the talent runs out...

    Single greatest song ever written?

    They do a great cover of The Whole of the Moon... And even though the band may suck now, they were great once. PS; Cat Stevens went full-blown Muslim terrorist, but you can't deny that in his prime he was a poet extraordinaire...

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    It was my understanding that the actual subscription numbers are all faulty. One of Netflix's potential undoing is that one account is shared by too many people in all markets, but it is probably much worse in India, Africa, etc... It's like to 300+ Arabs that share a single Costco account near...

    I guess there are 204 flavors... I stand corrected. What I thought was burger was #27, Azuki Bean flavor: https://thisis-japan.com/kitkat-flavors/ Some of them sounds pretty fucking delicious. Guess there is really no Bat flavor or Monkey-brains...

    Japan seems so much more civilized than China; but the shit they eat in Japan is almost (if not equally) as funky as in China. Burger and seaweed Kitkat bars? Pizza flavored candy bars too? Dudes, seriously?

    So weird that the Spanish labeling is so aggressive. Excess calories, excess sodium! Last I checked my Funyuns are never self-deprecating. They're just golden deliciousness!

    The Sandman

    Well, to be fair; Constantine was kinda white AND gay... At least they made it very clear that the show was fantasy. Maybe that's the REAL agenda (as you just outlined so nicely)!!

    Prey

    OK- watched it. Wanted to hate it in the first 15 minutes because it was abundantly clear where this film was heading. Comanche-chick-wanna-be-warrior vs predator. Yeah, they kind of telegraphed the whole thing in those first 15 minutes. BUT- damn it, it was fucking entertaining! Holy shit...

    House of the Dragon

    There needs to be an adjustment coefficient for the total number of black viewers proportional to the actual number that pay for the channel.

    The Sandman

    That's a pretty succinct summary of the issue. The fact that they have injected more gay into this show than Gay Pride day in Key West is distracting and annoying and wholly unnecessary to the narrative.

    Yup-- carbon monoxide poisoning and second and third degree burns are probably the only way to make "futbol" exciting....

    The Sandman

    It's enjoyable so far. Would much rather have seen Matt Ryan return as John Constantine than have the girl from Doctor Who become Johanna Constantine. Also- it is so dark. Not thematically but literally. I want to turn the brightness up on the TV half the time. A lot of shows take this tact and...

    Star Trek: Lower Decks

    I finished watching all of them. It starts off very uneven in season 1. By season 2 it hits it strides and, at times, is very VERY good. Like SNW, it gets Trek. It also is meta, and is without question is the most easter-egg filled, best-researched Trek creation ever (without being...

    Star Trek: Picard

    I have to agree big time. Again, I remember waiting for episodes of TNG to air (and putting up with that sort-of disastrous) first season. The show had it's moments of glory for certain. But it also had a lot of crap-ola. But again, that was kind of expected in those days, when you produced 20+...

And we got to learn about Picard's troubled youth, his abusive father, his tortured mother, we found out 7 of 9 is a lesbo, Q is gay for Picard, undocumented immigrants are...
