I have an interest in Feud. But what I'm anticipating from FX is Shogun.

Meanwhile...

Watched the original last night, still holds up. Really wish we got to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman in more comedic roles.

If you think that was good, you should try the book -- It topped everything!!!!! Did you watch movie or miniseries?

I saw PSH in ‘Death of a Salesman’ shortly before he passed.

He was the most powerful stage actor I’ve ever seen perform. He blew the entire rest of the cast off the stage and received the longest ovation I’ve ever been a part of. It went on for a solid ten minutes.

Should have watched miniseries....movie was the series condensed into a movie for TV.

Embargo lifted on Dune 2 today, seems universally acclaimed, can’t wait to see it.

Oops!!!

Loudermilk has been pretty funny

Witty, dry writing for sure.

Embargo?

Embargo?

When the studio allows reviewers to talk about the movie publicly. Studio’s aren’t stupid, they usually know if they have a good movie on their hands, and want the early press on it.

Sony didn’t lift the embargo on Madame Web until the day before it came out because they obviously knew it was dogshit.

Yup. I finished season 1 and it wasn’t disappointing.

I’m only curious about how they’re going to handle Alia—if she’s even in it. They’ll probably leave her out.

That's sacrilege.....she's the best part of the entire story!!!

I believe Anya Taylor Joy will be playing that role.

I'm jealous of Elaine Benes for going to a movie with Keith Hernandez. I wanna do that.

I finally binged the final season of The Affair, 5 years overdue. I liked it and the way things concluded.

 

[mxyxptlk]

Decided to revisit Line of Duty -- Lennie James is a very underrated actor.

 

[will1066]

Finished the first season of Peaky Blinders. Long overdue.

Ending of True Detective was stupid. What a waste of 6+ hours. Season 2 was better and everyone hated that season.

Good stuff, that!!! And it only gets better, Will. I have to finish last two seasons.

I was just about to post this......storyline got dumber and dumber as show progressed.....and (as I've mentioned numerous times) Jodie Foster was probably THE most annoying character in the entire show.

It was really good ! I wish they could have had a 7th season but it was also becoming less desirable as most do .
