so this is like wallander or something?

yes and no, it's a parody on those crime series. But it's a good story anyway, in the sense that they keep it open who the real bad guy (or girl) is until the very end.



speaking of crime series, I also started watching season 2 of Baptiste, but I aborted after a few episodes. The actors are quite good, especially the main character. But the story is horrible. Based on reviews I read, season 1 was much better, so maybe I'll still watch that.

I occasionally leave duplicates so that there's something to delete

hahah

basically nobody right now, as i understand, because it's a database problem, not an editorial problem.

chris habib used to do both ends, but that was an unusual case.

current mods have been in a perpetual war against spammer bots and other pests, but real nerd shit is not in their wheelhouse, and i don't know that the owners would want to invest in a tech cleanup or revamp at this point.

i've looked at "free" public forums like reddit as emergency landings in case of total crash but found nothing good there.

so in case this disappears without a warning, thanks to everyone for all these years.

Been here for a decade now, with just this username, I’m not frankly keen on it evaporating

I’ve messaged mods about it, was told it was being worked on, that was months ago now. Should indeed be an easy fix.

I watched The Irregulars, it's OK except that they are not really respectful to the original characters of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, nor the era in which the story is supposed to take place in.
But it's enjoyable enough to watch until the end. There won't be another season, which is not really shocking but it would have been interesting how the series and characters would evolve.

neither am i, but you know, everything evaporates in the end

i'd bet tunic could fix all of it in a short time if they gave him the keys to the boiler room.

this guy also: http://sonicyouth.com/gossip/member.php?u=131740
(he's gone by many names over the years, i can't keep track) warned about eventual tech problems aaaages ago, and offered to update the forum. overqualified as he was, unfortunately nobody recognized him at the time, due to the frequent name changes and post deletions

i think in those days he may have posted as "cunt" (in the british sense i assume). but that profile seems to no longer exist lmao.
http://sonicyouth.com/gossip/memberl... ername&ltr=C

anyway, i remember things like that, but ultimately know nothing useful, like actual php/mysql lololol.

You’ve made me paranoid about this website someday evaporating. I think I’ll set up an email address for you and any other cool motherfuckers who want to contact me to be able to do so. Hmm. Keep DMs clear

no sorry. I'm a tester, not a coder. I can break stuff easily, but can't fix anything

Reservation Dogs, by Taika Waititi, is very very good.

The new season of What We Do In The Shadows is amazing, as expected.

Waiting on Survivor. (Am I the only boardie that watches Survivor still?)

[!@#$%!]

reservation dogs great so far, just wanted to add the info that while taika is the weight behind the production, kinda like the godfather of it all, the main creative source for these stories is sterlin harjo, who is a seminole/muskogee guy from oklahoma (where he lives and the stories happen).

here's an interview with him:
https://indiancountrytoday.com/lifes...servation-dogs

anyway, if you like this show you'll most likely enjoy his movies. i've seen two of them: "three sheets to the wind" and "barking water", which are hilarious, but have not seen the most recent ones--some are supposed to be heavier or something.

--

re: ramy, i have no problem with the cousin storyline, but his bachelor party is the goddamn fucking worst hahahaha, wtf, he's so fucking weird. i was liking the mom & sister episodes where he doesn't appear, but no, he had to come back and be weird af. yikes! lmfao.

--

ive never watched survivor in my life. maybe part of an episode? not sure of a full one.

--

eta, later: i just finished season 2 of ramy. goddamn... lolololol

i wanted so bad to punch him in the snout

good halloween fare judging from the first 2 seasons... damn, they were brutal. great, but brutal.

i might catch up with this show but first im trying to finish season 5 of x-files (been rewatching everything in order) and then i'll watch the 1998 movie, and then i'll pause hulu for a bit... then i'll attack prime (i have it all year anyway).

hulu price is going up for no commercials, and they don't have an annual deal for it right now. hulu annual with commercials is cheap but--fuck commercials!

Watched Taika Waititi's 2010 film BOY. very good, very sad, and shows how similar life is for poor New Zealanders and poor Native Americans and poor Latinos, etc. The idea of fathers not being around at all, of 10-12 year olds being forced to look after their siblings while the mom/grandma spends her time drinking, etc....

I started watching this new comedy series on Netflix. It's called Seinfeld, it's ok'ish, so I'll probably finish it. I wish they had left out the stand-up comedy segments....
Anyone seen it already?

There's a new series starting next week (over here, perhaps it's already running in the US?), of which the trailer looks very cool & good music too: Cowboy Bebop. But I've read mixed reviews about it.

[!@#$%!]

still mostly only have time for x-files, completist version (one a day, in sequence, then saw the first movie, continued, etc).

currently in the middle of season 7... goddamn tv shows were looooong back in the day...

looking forward to the return of THE GREAT on hulu. that will get me motivated to watch extra (and waste more life hahaha).

--

eta: well it looks like this thread got stuck (delete your dupes please) so i'll just add here that a) season 7 of xfiles looked to be jumping the shark, and so b) i paused/cancelled hulu for the time being cuz who has time for so much tv

eta,2: just a note to leave here, grant petersen likes astrid: https://www.amazon.com/Astrid-Season-1/dp/B09BP4QF2X
