I gotta start watching this show I guess.

As like a cohesive narrative story its a bit of a mess, but if you want to see a whole bunch of batshit insane and awesome ideas and scenes made flesh you can't go wrong with American Gods.

A surprising amount of famous-ish actors do these Christian movies because they're easy money.

Yeah, there's some principled believers in the bunch and some "I've been boycotted by Hollywood!" conservatives but for the most part I imagine its like doing a Hallmark movie or a straight to video horror. Its poo poo you do when you're trying to fight your way up or stop your fall down.

Neil Gaiman himself is show running now right? So it might be ok? Still I would have like to have seen Gillian Anderson as Princess Leia and Mr. Rogers like was planned.

Also, never listen to an audio book narrated by Gaiman. He'll put you right to sleep.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we're gonna look back in 20 years and say Trump's biggest blunder was getting the pill head doctor out to say "ACTUALLY MR TRUMP HAS THE STAMINA OF A HORSE AND THE BEST BRAIN EVER. HIS GENES ARE SUPERIOR I'D LET HIM gently caress MY WIFE" because he could make 90% of his looming problems go away by just doing what the mob bosses did and pretend to be more senile than he is

Pushing Daisies is purified late aughts saccharine/twee. Very well done for sure and if that's your thing go for it but I absolutely can't stand it, especially now.

It is really interesting to look back from time to time and see how media trends have evolved in response to geopolitical events and try to figure out what today's hellworld will create.

My buddies keep thinking they're gonna do some time travel poo poo which I think is a weird theory. The show is about corporate grift, why would they just randomly start using time travel? This isn't LOST.

I don't know. They're only doing one more season because Esmail said he's got a specific story he wants to tell. Doesn't strike me as Penny Dreadful where they just killed the show and pretended that was their plan all along.

The offices of Reps. John Lewis and Hank Johnson confirmed to The Hill Thursday that they would not be in attendance on Feb. 5.
"I have a problem with defiling the Speaker's chair in the House of Representatives," Johnson told AJC. "I don't want to see it lowered, as is what happens when Donald Trump comes to our floor and starts talking about groups of people, particularly Latinos, and disparaging them as a people." 
"I'd rather be somewhere else," he added.
