Ringworld was neat. The hard scifi aspects were fun, good adventure romp... Some of the imagery got lost in that same hard scifi minutae though, to the point that I couldn't picture some of the space-stuff for it being over-explained. I liked the campy zapp-brannigan-ness of the romance stuff too. made me lul. And the species were all cool, esp the pierson's puppeteers. @Lu funny enough a bookstore near me had the first 4 books of Earthsea for sale in the window on sale so I have that! I might expedite reading that one, then so we can shoot the shit about it.

Ay

Hey!! Repairing games consoles sounds skilled, Tell us more about that!

Some of the lads I work with were all talking to me at once so I put on Children of Men to get them to engage with something other than asking me lots of questions about stuff. Lazy trick but they all seemed to enjoy it.

Uhhh in theory I'm playing Far Cry 3 Classic Edition but right now I'm on the "Ugh" or Famine phase of my videogame binges. There was a bit where I had to escape a flaming temple and I just realized I could not be assed. Whattadoo... Post merge test

I was saying a while back that I don't really rate the casting of the upcoming Good Omens movie I always saw Crowley as Australian so I'd say Eric Bana, with Sylvester McCoy as Aziraphale. That's about all I can think of, so far.

Honestly I think they'll go in the other direction and flesh out his nastiness, maybe he's pro-upside-down or attuned or something. I've got no problem with them having a human villain, I just don't like they basically made him a cobra kai dick; when so far they've been so obviously going in a more interesting direction with each trope character each time.

Good point well made. I guess they made him a lifeguard, so that's something!

S1 Stranger Things, one thing I really liked about it is that it set up all these tropish characters, and then went on to make everyone more moral and much smarter than you'd think, everyone cooperated and made clever decisions. 2 introduced the character of Billy Hargrove, who went against that without really being fleshed. All's I'm saying is I hope they do something with him in any direction.

People maybe figured out a while ago that Tarantino was sorta telling the story of this stylish ultra-brutal popculture obsessed world (Conversations in Reservoir Dogs, Meez in Pulp Fiction) and in Kill Bill we got to see what the cinema WITHIN that world was like... Then we saw in Inglorious Basterds sort of how that came to be, with cinema being so essential to the conclusion of WWII in that canon that cinema seems very important and real. I figure what he's doing here is telling a story set within the Hollywood of that world to show the sort of crazy environment in which your Kill Bills get made. That's my guess.
