I am on par with its reading level though?

I mean ...

Watched the new “True Detective” last night. I’ll still watch it but it looks like ass to me so far.

I might be being unfair because I hold them up compared to season 1 but none of them come even close to it.

Is the discworld series any good? It’s on humble bundle, 38 books for ~$18.

i'd be all over it if it was physical books...

I’m about to start S3 of Slow Horses. Very much digging this show. The characters and writing crack me up, on top of all the spycraft.

 

[Deadpool8812]

So I'm definitely way behind on this one, but on my flight home I watched a few episodes of Ted Lasso and I love it

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I think we can all agree that "The Pacific" was shit, especially when you take into account the expectations bred by "Band of Brothers." I'll give you something to listen for in the upcoming "Masters of the Air" - if any character says any form of the phrase "You got this," feel free to bail.

Controversial Jerry Lewis film to screen in public for first time after 52 years | The National

The Day the Clown Cried, a passion project for its star and director, reached mythical status after he refused to release it in his lifetime

@Amorgus I will 100% travel to see this if they open tickets to the public. I have to experience it in a crowd. This is the Grail.

Bad news...I found this when I googled for more info about possible screenings...

Apple's best show.

I enjoyed the Pacific. It's a different show, if you were expecting Band of Brothers, you aren't going to be satisfied. There was some of that in certain scenes/episodes but it definitely seemed more non combat scenes then Band of Brothers, They could have gotten more in depth with some of the limited combat scenes they did have.

Season 1 is fantastic. But that's pretty much where it ends. 2 and 3 were poor IMO.

It was badly written and horrifically cast and acted. That was the problem.

I’m a sucker for these war docs so I will give it a go at some point.

I can’t watch anything Austin Butler is in. He’s such a mugging for the camera try hard. Even watching him make faces and try to sound cool in that Masters of the Air trailer makes me want to not watch. He’s the worst of this new generation of acclaimed actors. If he’s the villain and dies in a duel with the hero, I’ll watch. But that’s it.

That's unfortunate to hear

Just finished season 1. Loved it.

I would just avoid watching the rest if you never saw them, leave out on a high note with season one.

When we talk prospects, I like to imagine we’re in a car and I’m Rust and you’re Marty.

 

[trostol]

last episode of Percy was a bit weak and getting killed by the book readers lol

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Ever watch a movie and there is this character that you just want to hit really hard or scream JFC STFU. We watched The Mist last night. If you saw the movie you should know who I mean.

Season 1 was ass. I don’t get the fascination for that series. Season 1 was really good until about the halfway point and then everything just fell apart

What’s the reading order? I’ll have to screenshot as I have a huge backlog still

Honestly? you can start with just about any of the books within a subseries. So far, I haven't come across much overlap. The Colour of Magic (Rincewind/Unseen University), Equal Rites (the Witches), Mort (Death), and Guards! Guards! (The City Watch) start the four that I've read parts of, as I've been going generally in publication order (Which starts with The Colour of Magic).
