I do get it it's the worst episode. But they immediately disengage with things. They had fun so like I said I wasn't a dick about it.

i mean i get that you’re excited about it but it also sounds like you regularly throw on three hours worth of horror and dark fantasy to uninterested guests. maybe lighten the mood a bit.

I really loved Witcher 3 (how could you not) but for some reason every time I think about a witcher show I wind up thinking of a guy yelling IM THE WITCHER and rapping ala Noel Fielding as The Hitcher

I went to their house their thing. I never host I don't want people in my place it's comfy for me.

I never try to make anyone watch anything but wrestling. Which makes me the worst of all.

I got to see one of Noel Fielding's live shows once and it was loving incredible. Also for some reason my mother, who normally hates absurdist/surrealist comedy, absolutely LOVES The Mighty Boosh, which made me so happy :)

Post EP1 thoughts: If you're not in it for WITCHER poo poo all you're getting is Grumpy Old Man And His Feisty Princess Sword Porn. I've only played Witcher 3 so a lot of the Geralt/Ciri backstory doesn't get filled in towards the end(particularly Ciri's family history). Seeing it playing out forwards like is cool and neat. The moral scenario of the first episode was cool and witcher like. Like in the game, Geralt can throw up his hands and walk away, then find out in a later bit of story what the consequences were. As far as sword porn shows go, its pretty servicable. I can't really think of a better show to recommend in place of it for people that wanna see eastern european sword poo poo.

I think one of the most unfortunate things it has going against it is that people were expecting it to be Netflix's answer to Game Of Thrones and it isn't that - nor was it ever meant to be. But now every action drama set in medieval fantasy is no longer a lord of the rings ripoff, it's a game of thrones ripoff.

Vikings is an excellent series (at least the first four seasons or so) to fill the game of thrones shaped hole people might have but even it isn't meant to be the same.

The disjointed narrative really wasnt needed and the non book material ranges from good to wtf.
At ep. 5 im 50/50 on the witcher show.
Calanthe is carrying the series so far.

I tried to like Game of Thrones but I felt it jumped around too much to really follow. If I have to do the podcast and wiki thing to keep up, that's too much fuckin work. I guess part of it, is I'm used to shows with smaller casts like Kamen Rider or revolving door guest star shows like Ultraman. And a lot of the titilation was substandard.

I think I watched two episodes of Vikings total and they all looked the same to me. Couldn't tell beardy white dude A from beardy white dude B. And these are more or less My People.

i didn't think he was particularly revelatory tbh. i guess he danced a lot. i love him dearly but "This wasnt it" for me. of course the incel outrage poo poo makes no sense after having seen it but the opposite end calling it some leftist film because he kills some rich people doesnt make sense either. like my favorite show south park, the truth is somewhere in the middle. i'm the joker. Produced by bradley cooper.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot.

Philip Seymour Hoffman would have been a good Joker but he absolutely would never have done it, and he'd be in the right.

The Master is the objective best movie of the decade, but Inside Llewyn Davis is my favorite of the decade. Ya know what I mean?

I love David Suchet for sure. Though I usually like Kenneth Branagh the new version of Murder on the Orient Express was just soulless unfortunately :smith:

Watched this last weekend and it’s loving great. Plus it had Sean Connery! Every movie with Sean Connery and trains is a classic and that is a fact Jack. Snuggle up with some From Russia With Love and treat yourself.
