    The Peripheral

    So far, very good. I'm not surprised that the girl from Kick-Ass ended up being very cute. Acting is quite good. Set-up so far is excellent. I have not read this one (and I occasionally get lost with Gibson), but I suspect they may not be keeping to close to the text anyway. Kind of glad I...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Everyone always dissin' on BK... I had a McD cheeseburger the other night. McD cheeseburgers are approaching being White Castle sliders-- little onion-flavored gristle wafers on shitty bread. At least the Whopper Jr approximates meat and has fresh veggies on it. It's a much better burger...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I think that is a good barometer of worth. I put up with commercials for Evil and for Lower Decks and it’s worth it.

    PS- For you, Burns, I highly recommend the COMET app on your TV.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    More like eating McDonalds for a snack. My body and mind know better, but it happens. What you said-- just adequate enough. Personally, I found "Brand New Cherry Flavor" far more entertaining. I can't even imagine what the cost/entertainment value ratio would be in comparison! Looking forward...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    I disagree- I watched the last episode of HoTD and can barely remember any of it-- it's like an endurance sport getting through an episode. Not that I love Rings of Power. And yes, everyone is probably spot on about it being too derivative of it's source material and its writers just being lame...

    Let the Right One In

    Are there no new ideas in the world? This was a great foreign film. Creepy and disturbing. Let's remake Shane and make him a freed slave.

    I am glad I read this-- 1 star? It was on my potential watch list. Thanks

    Brand New Cherry Flavor

    I did-- this show is the bomb! I liked how it ended. Loved the creep-factor and mind-fuckedness of it. Yeah, Videodrome may have done it better, but I bet that film doesn't hold up / age well with time. The cast was on-point. They were all really good actors. The sets were like Miami Vice...

    She-Hulk

    She Hulk is so damn inconsistent. The penultimate episode (or maybe the one before that) was brilliant (the therapy episode). The finale was off the rails bad. So "meta" that it broke the 5th wall of interest... I'm sure there were a lot of really funny inside jokes with the cast and the...

    Brand New Cherry Flavor

    I made it to episode 4. Maybe I'll finish it. It definitely is (at least in part) an homage to Cronenberg and Lynch. Hell, the main character say so! It does suffer, like far too many streaming services series, from poor pacing. In other words, they run things to long. I'm on episode 4 and I am...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    It's true-- I am an idiot. Why do I go for White Castle on occasion when I know it's little more than gristle? Or how can I refuse a little bag of funyuns at the checkout?

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Well, it's not like Peter Jackson did his volcano research either-- Sam and Frodo did just fine hanging out in the molten lava and poison gas of Mount Doom in Return of the King... but I suspect there is a robust research staff somewhere that is even more irate than we are on the lack of...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    PS-- just watched some nerdist podcast thing on youtube going over the seventh episode. While it was clear that the staff of nerdist didn't LOVE the episode (or the prior ones), they bring up a ton of points that make it clear that there actually is a solid research staff behind this thing...

    His Dark Materials

    I really liked the first season. This show is especially poignant because it tries to remain faithful to the source material (even to the point of retaining the risky title "His Dark Materials.") I am looking forward to it; although it was paced poorly season 2, as I recall. It's a lot of...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    This episode was slow. It's becoming dumb entertainment. I don't mind Elrond or the elves. Don't know who the fire-stealing/throwing/staff holding people were though. Did I miss something? It is really dumb what they did in those closing seconds. That's what SERIOUSLY bad movies do when they...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    BTW; any nit-picking regarding volcanology must never have paid attention during the end scenes of "Return of the King" where Frodo and Sam were gaying it up in 2000 degree heat and poison gases waiting for the eagles . last episode was much better. The thing that really is unclear to me is why...

    Interview With the Vampire

    Yeah-- they revolted... burned the plantation to the ground. But maybe, since these vampires are sexually competent, we can have lesbian vampires sixty-nining each other during their periods?

    Interview With the Vampire

    I'll repeat my post from rustled here-- This is going to be another abomination that will piss of the fan-base and up the faggotry to 11... So let's take another franchise with a loyal, venomous fan-base (who were already comfortable with flexible gender roles) and force-feed them...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    So let's take another franchise with a loyal, venomous fan-base (who were already comfortable with flexible gender roles) and force-feed them over-the-top pedantic faggotry and completely piss off hundreds of thousands of loyal readers. Why? Because being ecclectic isn't enough. Being tolerant...

    The guy oooozes charisma. Way more than the Rock. He's pretty damned talented (even if his arms look too veiny). I bet he's nice to his fans too.

    House of the Dragon

    The time jump and the newer cast members are too jarring. Man this show is a train wreck. It makes Rings of Power look like Le Mort d Artur. And Rings of Power makes She Hulk look like the Tempest. At least there are new episodes on of Lower Decks.

    Quantum Leap

    I just watched it as well-- I am sad that there is such an overwhelming lack of creativity that so much of new movies/tv/fiction/media has to be re-imaging/re-imagining of past material. And, if you are going to do this, don't do it with IPs that are as revered as Quantum Leap. Let's face it...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Hahaha - very telling for certain (as is that I cannot get a single package or email from Prime that isn't overwhelmingly branded "Rings of Power." For what it's worth, I made it through all of Star Trek: Strange new worlds on Paramount + codes. One would expire and they would send another one...
