I actually wanted to know what you thought of the the show as a whole... Just because I liked it doesn't mean it's objectively good. But you pointed out a... wrinkle... in the plot that I hadn't even considered, and I was just wondering if you had any thoughts on the rest of it.

The Ghost in the shell movie did not make much money last weekend.

When she is a bit older anything Satoshi Kon. Paprika, Millenium Actress, and paranoia agent.

yes. Paprika blew me away and I was an old fart!!!!!

it's actually pretty good. I think some of the writing is a bit off, Jonathan Pryce is wasted in it, way too thuggish and involved in the minutia of the BIEC. And the Ooona/Hardy thing is way overplayed. I wish there was more of the Native American PNW stuff in it, those particular Indians were way way weird, as their art and costumes are fucking strange. (Visit the totem pole museum in Vancouver, BC frinstance) Stephen Graham is pretty good in it, nice compass tatoo! And also Jason Watson (edit, WATKINS!), stellar performance from a guy who deserves some awards for his acting. So, loose and unbelievable story, good cinematography, so/so soundtrack. Better than a lot of shit that's on now, for sure:)

Fuck I didn't even know it was out yet! Haha. I'm a dumb guy.

I saw a turtle with claustrophobia on TV yesterday. It was very very sad

so HUMANS took a turn for the way better towards the end of season 1

went past the replicant repetitions and became something else

still a bit slow, but really pleased with it now

Yeah, Season 2 is pretty good, too. Not breaking a lot of new ground, Niska and Hester are good characters, I could do without Leo and Mia, and the entire Hawkins family....except maybe for the daughter.

it's funny to see the chick from the IT crowd as a serious mom

also, leo is fucking MERLIN and i can't stop laughing about that *every fucking time*

the dragon was my favorite character in that. thanks, john hurt!

but anyway yeah looking forward to S2.

NEW SEASON OF DOCTOR WHO COMING UP APRIL 15.

Last season for Peter Capaldi's excellent (except for the sunglasses and guitar) take 12th Doctor. Also last season for showrunner Steven Moffat, who has come up with some excellent stories.

IN ADDITIIN: A new Doctor Who soon-off, titled CLASS, is also coming out that day. It looks to be on the darker side. Will focus on the students of Coal Hill Academy-- the school where Clara and Danny taught (and the Doctor briefly took up a position as groundskeeper).

Should be fucking rad.

Because she's seen Attack on Titan and you haven't?

ha ha ha!

severian is old now :D

Plowing through Scrubs since it was on my watchlist and Netflix suddenly decided to remove it. at the start of May.

But... :(

you're a serious man now with a serious journalistic career

serious!

(by which i mean: old)

:p

I'm on the last season now. Mind you I started watching it like a couple months ago.

I'm through season 4, episode 5 as of last night.

If I don't get through season 9, i'm probably better off. I'd be fine with just season 8

man, i could never get the appeal of that show

the schtick wore out really fast for me

100% agree.

Don't get the appeal at all.
