So far, I think Station Eleven is a decent adaptation of the book. There are a couple of fairly significant changes from the book, but nothing yet that knocks it off course. I do find myself thinking more about all the filler that has to be put in to make a TV show out of a quiet small story than I do with most other…

Observation Deck got deleted in late 2020, along with all other community blogs, due to G/O Media’s decision to delete all the community blogs. The only Observation Deck resurgence is this one

It won’t be Dennis dying but more likely someone he gave COVID to.

The contempt Dee and Dennis had for each other was really well acted, especially considering Dennis barely got a word out.

These two were so funny I was gasping with laughter (not Covid) at times.

“An authentic Irish...GET FUCKED!!”

Gotta go with an A grade for those episodes. That felt like classic Sunny. No surprise considering both episodes were written by Rob, Glenn, and Charlie.

Thought this photo of birds hanging out on the Birds Aren’t Real billboard was fantastically meta

The whole point was 12 days of *celebration*. What you’re talking about is two long months of *exhortation towards preparation* with a message to CONSUME.

We don’t need the 12 days of Christmas, we currently have the 55 days of Christmas that start on November 1.

The erotic thrillers from the late 80s to the early 2000s fascinate me.

Their movies aren’t necessarily on the better end of the erotic thriller, but you have a lot of…

Isn’t that Squid Game?

I like the concept of it (old man Bruce mentoring a new Batman), I like the futuristic setting, I liked Terry as a character and thought it was perfect to make him distinctly different in personality than Bruce, and I thought they did a good job building up his rogue gallery while showing what happened to some of the…

Those erotic thrillers also made huge money *in the theater*, Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct both made over $300 million worldwide (domestically, Fatal Attraction is in the top 200 box office all time, adjusted for inflation). It was just a different era when those movies were relatively low budget, and trendy.…

Eleventacles.

Just make Batman Beyond already.

“from Batwoman team” = pass.

I think half of the reason those were so ubiquitous was because they were a way to watch (very) softcore porn without actually watching porn. Oh, and not being actual porn you could rent them at Blockbuster.

Great work, it’s the Flying Spaghetti Monster of the 2020s.

It’s a slight spoiler, but Side Effects is an especially good one since it bends genres rather deftly.
