I was kind of put off by the first episode on first viewing, but warmed up to it after a rewatch.   I’m only up to episode 3 or 4, though.

This is either gonna be the worst comic book adaptation ever or the best. 

His Lakers, he adores them.

Bummer, but I totally understand. After four seasons it must have gotten increasingly harder to pull it off, even if it was never popular enough to be broadly visible. I’m just glad Nathan was able to end last season with what turned out be his magnum opus.

On the other hand, I’m still pissed that CC cancelled Review.

Regarding PeepsGate.

I can’t say I understood all the science, but I really liked the sprawling hyperfuturist big ideas. I agree the characterization was lacking, but that didn’t bother me much.

Dennis Franz is 73. Maybe he’s just living his best life in retirement.

I used to confuse it with Crate & Barrel

Same.  I’ve never met a Spanish speaker who uses it.

Reading:
I Am The Brother of XX by Fleur Jaeggy. A collection of very brief flash fiction length stories. Really powerful. Jaeggy writes with a certain subtlety or delicacy I find in other like Sebald, Modiano, etc , but like those authors, it’s only the surface of intense and emotional characterizations.

Graha…

Ra-tah-tah!

It’s just a really movie.

Wendell Pierce would have made a good Murtaugh.

Everyone in this show is so good, but these episodes in particular were a showcase for William Jackson Harper.  

Eva Cassidy covering ‘Time After Time’.  There’s a studio version, but it’s the one off Live at Blues Alley that floors me every time.

This guy seems like an asshole, and there’s no way this kind of shit makes him look better in they eyes of producers.  But hey, if CMT or somebody ever decided to reboot The Fall Guy, I’m sure he’ll get a call.

That reminds of the series of hooker documentaries they made. At the time, I thought they were kind of incisive. In retrospect, they seem very exploitative, though I haven’t seen them in years.

Emmanuelle in Space was not good, but Krista Allen was so ridiculously hot.

This show made me realize Amy Poehler in overalls is exactly what does it for me.
