I just recommended Shogun to my brother last night, we were discussing HOTD and he didn’t know what else to check out this summer.
Don't give up on Sake if it was your first time trying it. I've had some gross ones (unfiltered) and some really really good ones. Just stick with popular cold ones is my advice and branch out from there. Hot sake made me goofy as a nun in a cucumber patch - that's for cold weather emergencies only from now on.
What would a Nun do in a cucumber patch?
and what's with the shortening of seasons? S1 was 10 ep, S2 is only 8. S3 gonna be 6?
The changing of the season length came down to budgets.
I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because unlike the latter seasons of GOT it doesn't feel like they're just rushing to get it over with. On top of the budget it might be that the best place to end this season is after 8 episodes instead of 10. Obviously I'd love more because I think they've done a hell of a job adapting what isn't really that much source material. Until they give me reason to doubt them I'm going to assume they know what they're doing this time.
The ads look funny. I enjoyed the first two so I’ll see it.
You can tell when an actor actually cares about a role, and RR definitely puts his heart into this character.
I saw a clip of him being interviewed about the movie and he wrote at least parts of this one. Really impressive. He brings the character to life as more than a bunch of one liners and the tone of the movies is perfect. I'm not sure why it's hard for some people to see the silly side of comic book movies. You are dealing with grownups running around in Underoos and saying ridiculous things with a straight face. It's inherently funny and Marvel sort of gets that compared to DC but the Deadpool movies really lean into that which is what I enjoy the most. Deadpool as a character is after my childhood so I never read any of his comic books but I presume the template for him was based on the comics? I did expect Jackman's Wolverine to be a bit more comedic than he is portrayed in the ads. They look to be setting him up to be a tragic figure which surprised me a bit.
I see maybe 1-2 movies in theaters a year anymore. I pay for a few streaming services so it makes it more worth it for them when big movies come out. We are seeing it Saturday for a matinee.
My brother collected Deadpool when I was a kid so I read quite a few. It’s been awhile but from what I remember, RR and crew have knocked the character’s personality out of the park from movie 1.

They’d tell you it’s a value added service. I’m not sure I agree but getting tickets in advance with a guaranteed specific seat is more attractive for a new release movie at times. Of course the wife and I went to see Oddity (pretty good movie) this past weekend and the theatre was maybe half filled so we could have shown up last minute and still gotten the seats we wanted without paying for the privilege. For Deadpool I’m guessing I’ll be glad to have it squared away before I go.I could never do the unlimited because having kids makes movies turn into a meal and an event
About a year ago or so we were buying our 1st theater tickets in a long while and it was adding I think $3 per ticket for pre selecting our seats (which theaters started doing this on their own years prior), so I just stopped the process and went to a smaller theater near me. Your business is struggling, so your solution is to charge the patrons you still have more to try and make up for it? Nope, not from my wallet.
