Just saw an ad on a Youtube pre-roll for the Paramount streaming service with everyone climbing the mountain. That was pretty funny.

I May Destroy You was probably the best show I watched last year. The diversity in mood and tone from moment to moment really captured—unlike pretty much every TV show ever—how people actually interact and how life goes. It was the second episode where it goes within seconds from rape, to constipation, to "That's how Elvis Presley died..." that just perfectly gets how people don't actually understand everything that's going on with someone, and also how friends talk to each other. And from that small beginning the show just goes absolutely everywhere with how people act and deal with each other, while still being true to the main "through-line" of what's happening.

So the stand is pretty underwhelming right?

I guess it's hard to fully adapt the book, but I don't feel attached to the characters at all. Everything happens too quickly.

It's been over a decade since i read the book though.
It’s really loving boring.

Halfway through I went back and watched the ‘94 miniseries and it’s leagues better. The characters are much sharper, the overall pacing is better. The current version has more time and more money but does a lot less with it.

I mean, it’s still schlocky, movie-of-the-week fare, but that’s pretty much all of Stephen King.

I’m really enjoying it. The conflict between the kid and the alien, especially in the exam room, has been great.

"Plummer said of the filming, "Give me Rome any day. I'll do porno in Rome, as long as I can get to Rome. Getting to Rome was the greatest thing that happened in that for me. I think it was only about three days in Rome on that one. It was all shot at once". Discussing his role as the Emperor, he said, "How can you play the Emperor of The Universe? What a wonderful part to play. It puts God in a very dicey moment, doesn't it? He's very insecure, God, when the Emperor’s around."

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I didn't realize this wasn't common knowledge. On the other hand at the synagogue in Sunday School as a kid we'd watch tapes of Shalom Sesame with Kiki the Echidna. If you're strictly local culture in childhood media consumption (as a lot of folks tend to be unless there's a reason to get multicultural exposure) I can see that happening. Just never thought about it until now.

Rewatching Breaking Bad.

I still don't know why Walt and Jesse insisted on messing with Fring at all. Just make the nice chicken man the meth you promised him and train your replacements, then most likely you can go your separate ways as long as you promise not make a single gram of that poo poo again or talk.

I love how all of them look, pretty much, like Big Bird, except different colors.

And then there's that nightmare. That's the evil Big Bird who tries to kill Snuffleupagus for his fur.

Why didn't Walt just take the money his old friends offered for treatment in season 1?

This was kind of the one time it wasn't Walt's pride that did them in. It was the thing with Combo and Andrea's kid brother. After the writers wrote that in and Jesse's believable reaction to it, there was no decision Walt could have made that would have kept the relationship going.

Oddly enough, it seems Syfy put the third episode of "Resident Alien" on demand up early. It's really hitting its groove. The interplay between Alan Tudyk and the kid is really good.

We had a VHS of a some recorded episodes of Shalom Sesame I watched the crap out of. I don't know how to spell it but I think of 'daisak dag! Look for the big daled!' All the time, which was a bit about how their Oscar the grouch liked fish cereal.
