Didn’t watch the tacked-on cat episode. Love that comic story but the adaptation was not doing it for me

yes the cats animation was just a little thing--it had a very harsh moment nevertheless. calliope was very good though: WRITERS LIE!

[!@#$%!]

goddamn, i love eastenders

it's so trashy, hahahahha! why do i have to wait till monday? xD

goes great with a drink btw. people drink like fishes in that show.

 

kheerat vs ravi. go kheerat! lmfao

this would be a guilty pleasure if i could feel guilt about this sort of shit hahahah.

i'm having so much fun...

the cat episode was cool, much like the stand-alone Sandman issues.

i really liked the idea of it hahaha, but it was not a thrilling plot-driven story like the others. but yeah for sure i'll help that kitten dream hahaha.

calliope though, goddamn... if it was in the book i had forgotten. but i loved it. the teleplay made the hipocrisy very current.

witcher season 2 getting slow and talky... :/

--

[Rob Instigator]

hahahaha yes, s1e1 was slower than i remembered. nevertheless it had some cool elements at first, like medieval violence and filth.

it's based on fantasy novels by a polish guy... i found out about the polish guy while looking for the plots so i wouldn't have to watch anymore. either way, i'm done with it.

anyway, DERRY GIRLS remains hilarious so far. watched a few episodes, would recommend a look.

I watched like 4 episodes of The Witcher when it first came out and never went back to it and almost certainly never will.
I dig Cavill as whatshisname but I don’t give a shit about whatever the fuck else was happening — folk singers and hunchbacks becoming regular-backs and shit. Meh

the folk singer was comic relief and not there all the time. the witch with the radical surgeries was an ok character at first.

the one that quickly became annoying however was the 80-year-old-looking "special girl with superpowers" that, ugh, such a tired trope at this point, and not a fun character in the least. also, central to the plot and present in every fucking episode. // eta: she's kind of the embodiment of white privilege hahahahaha. so fucking annoying.

=

anyway THE SERPENT QUEEN had a good and hilarious ending lmao. i mean it's a heavy drama but there's a lot of disturbing humor in it that keeps it fresh.

 

a+++++++ would buy again hahahahahahaha her face she is so good at microexpressions, hats off to her great work

Watched the first 2 episodes of Guillermo Del Toro's CABINET OF CURIOSITIES on Netflix. Loved them.

The second ep is based on a Henry Kuttner story! (old sci fi writer)

Witcher perusal:

Cavill will be hanging his boots up after season 3 and won't be returning for season 4. Liam Hemsworth will be taking over as The Witcher. Regarding Cavill's decision to leave It's strange because he did say when he first secured the role that he'd love to film 7 to 8 seasons with the caveat being the writers sticking to the source material. I've never read the books or played the games so I couldn't possibly comment, however it would seem that season 2 broke certain character relationships ultimately shitting all over the source material, of which Cavill is an uberfan. Hence the decision to leave on principal.

On a personal note this is annoying because my partner is a fan of Cavill as The Witcher and his decision to leave has robbed my annual Witcher themed Birthday/Christmas present obsolete.

watchin the FUCKING ASTROS!!!!!!

[Diesel]

Well, since I'm here and graced the common folk with my royal presence I may as well update the hordes on what epic television one has been watching.

Tenable: A quiz show on ITV (kill me) hosted by Warwick Davis. Funny fella this lad. He's like one of those friends in the bar who is always cracking jokes and puns non-stop. Hilarious at first but after awhile you start to think to yourself that maybe this guy is a bit of a twat. Doesn't ever shut up and just screams for attention all night. You end up trying to avoid them for the rest of the night only to drink yourself into a stupor in order to handle what has seemingly over the course of the evening turned in to a bar full of Warwick Davis'.

I implore you all to watch this show as the questions are decent but if anything just to overwhelm you with the feeling of finding yourself wanting to chin a dwarf.

Is that sports?

You know what I love about sports? When at some random international tournament the crowd starts to chant USA! USA! USA! and somehow instinctively, you start to feel the cringe deep inside your bones. Love that. Like when deep diver Megan Rapinoe tries to give an impassioned speech about equal rights.

In your defence, English football fans like to overtly partake in ultra aggressively celebrating a goal to embarrassingly high cringe levels not seen anywhere else in europe. Sport innit brav, It's like gan to the pantomime, but more expensive. Drama 101.

Houston fans are nice. we do not engage in the standard hooliganism.

Maybe if they unleashed their pent-up anger out on the football stands there'd be less people getting shot on the streeeets.

Inside Man on Netflix
This is a four part one hour mini series. I read a raving review about it in the newspaper, but I didn't really like much of it.
