Ajit Pai is a fuckboy.

Wait, is that really T-Mobile’s CEO, or are they just fucking with us?

Why does Porkchop look so upset in that picture?

And why the fuck do I still remember that Doug’s dog is named Porkchop?

Twenty bucks says Cline’s lazy references will become even lazier, resulting in a lazy sequel that does nothing but reference its lazy predecessor.

compared to the actual history of Central Europe, the darkness is not all that excessive.

I, for one, hope they follow only the books and use nothing from the games.

So many side characters and villains I’m dying to see adapted.

Bring on Borch Three Jackdaws!

For starters.

I honestly don’t really consider Geralt all that much of an anti-hero, any more than someone like Harry Dresden is.

Yeah, and the Law of Surprise is a pretty damn good reason for people to hate Witchers.

Exactly.  They are, quite intentionally, “unrealistically beautiful.”

He’s sterile and can’t carry disease. Pre-condoms, everyone on the planet would want to have hot monkey sex with him.

It kinda goes off the rails the farther it goes along. I bought the book, but never finished it. But it’s hard to maintain a certain amount of freshness with anything.

Really cool that they’re getting a woman to run a fantasy show. In particular The Witcher, which in the wrong hands it could end up as just the worst type of male wish fulfilment fantasy.

“kind of wish a thing could just be a thing”

If they go through with this, I really want to see the intern announcement be a pre-recorded film that’s the exact same every single time, with the intern’s name dubbed in.

I am incredibly curious as to how they’re going to make this work. So much of the humor revolves around tricking the mind into trying to paint a mental picture of something that’s either literally indescribable or that turns out to be different than described. I mean, if nothing else, the entire camera crew is going…

They should just cast Mara Wilson. She already plays the part in the podcast.

I probably won’t. It would just be nice if content producers knew how to let things end. I’m tired of seeing everything turned into a franchise until it has been run into the ground.  I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who will enjoy it and they are more than welcome to it.

I think you can make a good movie/show of Vonnegut’s work (the previous Slaughterhouse-5 movie, Mother Night), but it’s never going to be “Vonnegut.” Something about his tone seems almost impossible to get off the page and onto the screen.
