man, Terry Gilliam was all over this episode huh?

ah! I didn't know about the original stories aspect. Would they adpat the books in that way do you think? I'm wondering if they might reduce their roles in those seasons.

There's a quick, depressing as hell, mention of him in Silence of the Lambs as being an alcoholic with a ruined face in Florida or something like that.

God I hope this show lasts as long as Fuller desires. Please, TV Gods, please let this be a "hit" by NBC standards.

It is super fun and ridiculous. I recommend playing it with other people. Either multiplayer or just taking turns because it's more fun to crack up at it with other people around.

Yeah I definitely sensed some latent racism among both of them. "Well, my brother died near a Native-American so you can't date them now." was basically what the mother said.

Well I've only seen the pilot but I don't think I've disagreed with a review more on here. It wasn't as good as Rectify or The Returned but it was really well acted and had a beautifully directed pilot.

Lone Star still really really hurts. So many of these cancelled classics at least got a season.

Pizzolatto seems to indicate that this is the point. That Rust doesn't exactly believe his nihilistic bullshit. That in fact he thinks everything matters so much and he feels it all so hard that he creates this nihilistic narrative to explain all the horrors of the world and to keep from completely cracking. This made…

I really wish we could actually play these games. they looked so fun.

This movie is so freaking good. I got it used when my local blockbuster was closing for like 3 dollars because the cover looked cool and I recognized the director's name (from seeing stuff about Edge of Heaven which I still haven't watched). It blew my freaking mind.

I read Goon Squad quite awhile ago but at this point I think The Keep hit me a lot harder.

What are you thinking of Canticle? I was just talking about that the other day with my friend (she had finished Riddley Walker and I was talking about books that similarly tie up science and religion after an apocalyptic event).

I really enjoy how every story in Hyperion is basically a different style (The Priest's being horror).

Currently reading Drown and it is really great. Oscar Wao is one of my favorite novels ever though. I haven't yet read This is How You Lose Her so I don't know whether or not you just won't like his voice but I'd recommend giving Wao at least a shot.

Brief Wondrous Life was one of the few books I've read recently where I literally devoured it, finishing it in just a few days like I used to be able to.

Oh yeah, and I've always got an audiobook going for my drives. I just finished The Keep and am now listening to Play it as it Lays.

I'm finally reading Moonlight Mile by Dennis Lehane. I was a huge fan of his Kenzie/Gennaro novels way back when and was excited to see him return to them, don't know why it took me so long to finally check it out.

This is really beautiful stuff. I always loved these old paperbacks even if I found that they were more difficult to actually read when I'd buy them (small, smooshed together type usually).

The only place I'm seeing that is at the Daily Mail who cite a lot of "witnesses" and "anonymous friends" so…take everything they say with a grain of fucking salt.
