Head's up, DC is doing a sale on Comixology/Amazon and you can get all of Planetary for $11. Kind of highlights how bizarre digital pricing can be though, as the "Planetary: Book One" and "Planetary: Book Two" are on sale but they are still selling it digitally as the original TPB volumes for over ten bucks each. So you could spend either $11 or $52 for the same content.

Just price all digital books at $1 since they're still making profit anyways

When I heard that the Watchmen show was going to be set in modern day, I thought yay, it could actually be good. When I heard Damen Lindelof was directing it, I though oh no, it definitely will be bad. Now that I've heard it's going to be a sequel to the original comic, I'm thinking oh god, this is some kinda ending of Se7en thing where's Damen Lindelof is doing the most horrific thing he can think of to try to get himself murdered by Alan Moore.

I've been watching wrestling so long that now I kind of want someone to do a mockup of a poster for a steel cage tag match between Johns and Lindelof AND Moore and a mystery partner

Lost had a lovely ending but the rest of it had far too many good moments and arcs for me to write him off.

Teenage Fansub posted:Wasn't The Leftovers pretty good? The Leftovers: People disappeared! Nobody knows why! Me: Great, so what happens next? The Leftovers: No answers will ever be provided for why they disappeared! Me: Okay so like, are the events you're showing me important, or...? The Leftovers: Not all things can be known! You'll just have to deal with that! Me: Right, but like... you've heard the saying about how stories should start as close to the end as possible, right? So if a portion of the world disappearing and all the immediate fallout from that event are just the background events, what happens now is going to be even more interesting than that, right? You didn't take that saying too far and start the story after it ended, did you? Just... I just need something to happen, or I need you to show me that something is going to happen, or... loving meet me halfway, here. The Leftovers: It's like a metaphor for death and the human condition! Life doesn't always have answers! Me: Right, I'm out. The A.V. Club loved the show, but even from the gushing reviews I never got the impression that the show had stopped doing end-zone dances on the 20 yard line over how goddamn clever it was.

Leftovers pretty much has universal acclaim as one of the best shows of this decade. So I'd imagine he's earned the right to do whatever he wants for HBO.

You'd think the DC streaming thing could use a prestige adult show like that. e: Just remembered they've got a live-action Swamp Thing which could be that. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 03:02 on May 24, 2018 |

Lost received universal acclaim and was widely considered to be the exemplar and starting point of "the golden age of television" Of course, as the show continued people realized that none of the mysteries were going to have satisfying answers which retroactively made the whole thing poo poo, but that happened later.

The Leftovers ended and still had all the acclaim, and actually even more. Again, kind of the opposite of Lost since Lost started out with acclaim and Leftovers started out really slow by most accounts.

Critical acclaim doesn't actually mean anything. Critics love Hamilton, but hated Lexx.

CapnAndy posted:Dude that's not really a sustainable bar for "not a monster" when applied to wealthy politicians of the eighteenth century. So the conclusion you can draw is that yeah, most of our Founding Fathers were monsters, or you can lower your own moral standards to the point where you feel comfortable saying that a slave trader wasn't a monster.
