I don’t care if it’s slow so long as what’s happening is good and there’s good character work and Preacher s2 failed miserably on both counts and if we’re in Angelville for the whole of s3 it seems like it’ll be more of the same so I may be out

By not having a budget to do a road trip series.


But in that trailer they introduce Gran'ma, Jody and TC, The Allfather, and Jesus De Sade, so it looks like they're trying to play catch up

Did anybody watch the HBO adaptation of Farenheit 451 with Michael Shannon and Michael B Jordan? It was OK but the attempts at updating it were really bad, trying to have contemporary moral panics like social media and Alexa and Fake News take the place of television in the original makes it feel like a bad episode of Black Mirror, especially when you have the self-defeating irony of being released by a television network itself undermining the point. Also the network infamous for bullying people for pirating its shows has the heroes be people uploading copies of works of fiction to the dark web :irony:

On the plus side the movie is basically 80% Shannon and Jordan doing monologues and being intense or moody which is always great even if the rest of the movie doesn't elevate it. And the gag about the only permitted works of fiction being emoji versions of The Bible and Moby Dick was pretty (unintentionally?) funny, I guess.

It's probably because Nicholson's supposedly in declining health, plus I imagine most of his shenanigans were consensual. Well, as consensual as "love em and leave em" can be.

Ehh. Cosby is like 80 and that didn't stop them. I highly doubt "respect to the infirm" would stop a report.

No to both. They actually changed the ending to worse in my opinion, it's the captain who kills Guy at the end. Because he released a bird whose DNA contained the entirety of human knowledge coded in it so it will be impossible for the knowledge to ever be controlled or suppressed. He does kill one of the other firefighters before that because his Alexa rats him out to the cops and he's publicly shamed on social media, though.

The ending was really weird in how much it got changed, but the other thing about it I coudn't believe they altered was they get rid of his wife. It's been years since I read the book but I remember his wife being a really vapid gossip-obsessed person. Since they were making this to be about social media, I thought it would have been perfect to put in her in a dumb YouTube star equivalent.

It's pretty clear the creators took more than a bit from 1984, too.
