I just finished Jupiters Legacy and it's not bad. Far from perfect and I'm not the biggest of the original comic book writer's work, but it worked. This might be another case where the TV show does a better job of expressing the vehicle's themes than the book. I never finished Jupiters Legacy or Invincible (I do regret not finishing Invincible), but I'd rank books 1)Invincible 2) The Boys 3) Jupiters Legacy. I'd rank the TV shows 1)The Boys 2) Invincible (so far) 3) Jupiters Legacy. Also, found the strength to muddle through the second half of Mortal Kombat. Movie could've been decent.

The Knicks have been a big part of how I’ve spent my exile. What great timing for the basketball gods to smile upon us!
 I’m guessing it has been a huge lift for many of us. Heck, basketball even cured the winter blues! Oh good lord... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkmGrX7O0lQ

Adult Swim animated "Mr. Pickles" is some messed up stuff. Short dose 11 min vignette per episonde. Caught the first few and last. Hard to describe. My son showed it to me and it appealed to ym inner teen self. Was appauled by Mrs Nalod inner adult. Yeah, its pretty out there. After a few it kind of loses its luster.

I just finished watching "The Suicide Squad". Awesome! Fun movie. This is what I thought the first one was going to be. James Gunn is a terrific movie maker.

Is this the not-basketball thread?
Dexter season 9 starts Sunday. Could be awesome, or a big letdown. The only certainty is that it will be better than season 8. I’m looking forward to the new intro. Oh good lord... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkmGrX7O0lQ

As far as Sunday… it’s not a series reboot. But it is a Dexter Morgan reboot. Again, I ain’t saying nothing else. Oh good lord... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkmGrX7O0lQ

I see David Chase has finally confirmed that the ending of the Sopranos meant- I'm pretty sure that's what everyone presumed right? (for those who re-watched or discovered The Sopranos during lockdown):

I've also watched the Syfy miniseries and the Lynch movie version, so I might be biased. But I think it's solid. Many Saints didn't get the greatest reviews, but I thought it was good. Plot and pacing got a little wonky at times, but the casting was top notch. I'll binge Dexter at some point, but not sure what to expect. The series always seemed to follow up a great season with a meh one Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too.

The whole vigilante thing was satisfying. Perhaps I should pick it up. Lithgow is a good actor but he was a bit over the top. |

Haven't been through much of the thread but has anyone seen IT Crowd? It was a British comedy. Brilliant imo. Taken from a very classic episode. Watch them in order, less than 6 minutes in total.
BTW - Seeing "Lost" on the first page here, gave me an idea though! lol And I forgot most of the episodes in IT Crowd as well, benefit of not having a great memory with film. |

Who’s planning to see Spider-Man in theaters? I think the holidays and this movie in particular are going to result in huge covid spikes.
But I don’t think this one will be streaming any time soon. Avoiding spoilers is going to be impossible. Oh good lord... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XkmGrX7O0lQ
