He thought of Nina and her mellifluous buttocks that he used to love to bang. Even now his nano enhanced hearing could almost hear her vagina lips quivering with moisture and also pleasure, like a slice of synth-ham being tongued by one of Malaprop’s slamhounds. When he got back to City5, he was going to do some sex, no doubt about that. “That’s right doll” he said to nobody and the wind. They were going to do it hard. He smiled, blowing smoke from his nostrils. They were going to do it cyber hard.

piers using an altered map of florida is a solid spin on king's constant use of regional settings. i don't recall if there was one in the book I read but I do recall it was a bunch of computer jokes

quote:

HBO’s upcoming sci-fi series The Nevers has finally been forced to follow in the footsteps of so many of us tonight, taking a deep breath, acknowledging the good times we had, and then cutting Joss Whedon the gently caress on out of our lives. This is per THR, which reports that the HBO show has “parted ways” with its high-profile creator, who had previously pitched the series as his big return to TV for the first time since Dollhouse went off the air back in 2010.

Cas Anvar got dumped from season 6 of The Expanse.

Anvar affirms that he seeks out stories where he can convey his values: "I have a lot of passion for women's rights, domestic abuse, bullying".[12]

In June 2020, Alcon Entertainment hired an independent firm to investigate multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault made against Anvar.[13][14] In November 2020, it was announced that while The Expanse had been renewed for a sixth and final season, Anvar would not be returning amid these allegations.[15]

They've gone through at least 2 Arjuns so far. They can probably work something out with the 40 year time skip that occurs between the later books.

batman as a concept is pretty busted in 2020 they need him to go after corrupt cops or other wealthy people or something, beating up random “criminal” goons and it actually having some kind of effect is a very dated idea imo

plus they just keep trying to get more grimdark and “tWiStEd” which is always a losing strategy

yeah, it seems like they don't even get the character anymore, and just want him to be Totally Badass. when he says "I am vengeance" I was like what that is explicitly not what Batman is

i liked batman when i was a kid, but i can't handle it any more. he wears a hat with little bat ears on it and prances around with a big dumb cape, and they try to make that dark and cool. i just can't take that seriously.

not bothered watching any batman movies since the heath ledger joker one, as it pretty perfectly captured the idea of two mentally ill people extra-legally warring with each other. no idea how many of the good themes in that movie were intended, but they all worked really well regardless.

the third one is an absolute mess as a story but worth watching imo just for Hardy’s performance as Bane, the first action set piece (which you’ve probably already seen), and Tom Lennon as Bruce Wayne’s doctor

the third one was pretty dumb. towards the end, while trying to save gotham from anarchy, mr. batman found time all by himself to set up a giant pyrotechnic bat signal display on the side of a skyscraper
