How hard must the HBO execs have cried when they realized Westworld isn't taking off? Now all their hopes are on the spinoff.

HBO GO makes me think of a bizarre cartoon starring famous characters from their shows all living together.

Good god, that made me imagine a Game of Thrones equivalent of Teen Titans, GO!. It would actually be even funnier if all it had was the animation style, but was otherwise exactly the same.

I've never watched it myself but I somehow can't stop hearing about it all over the place. But yeah lol I get the sentiment; once the show's done I ain't never watching HBO ever again.

Maybe they'll bring back True Detective. But make it not suck for season 3. edit: Maybe I'll rewatch season 1. I only watched it once, but I think it deserves another viewing. Solice Kirsk fucked around with this message at 03:20 on Aug 29, 2018 |

Season 1 was good, then season 2 was a complete trainwreck since they no longer had any idea what to do with the plot. It was like a Game of Thrones speedrun.

nine-gear crow posted:Seriously though, Victorian lit is dull as poo poo. Ya’ll motherfuckers need to read some Romantic Era poetry. Now those drugged out fuckers could tell a story... unless someone came to the door and they forgot it by the time they went back to their desk. Dickens is . . . somewhat erratic . . . but at his best, he's the best, that simple. The chapters in David Copperfield about life as a street urchin are as good as they possibly could be. He also somewhat literally saved Christmas. http://time.com/5017067/a-christmas-carol-charles-dickens-movie/

No, because now like 2 other friends or family members use it, just like you are using their Hulu or Prime accounts. Canceling upsets the delicate eco system of shared login exchange.

Nice to see he’s now dipping into Neil Gaiman territory of “Eh gently caress it, I’ll just repurpose failed pilot scripts I wrote years ago into books, no one will even notice!” (Interworld was garbage, fyi and I completely get why it was passed on by network execs).
