idk about "turn out", he's horny as hell and has weird ideas about women and age appropriate relationships, and did that thing where he told the bush admin to spread rumours that hospitals were harvesting organs to keep undocumented immigrants out of the healthcare system, but he's not as bad a jerry pournelle also, i liked ringworld too. and a lot of known space. i haven't read them in maybe 15 years, so that could have changed. but i did at the time

Actually speaking of Airport Spy books, I just saw that 2014-time Keanu was slated to star in a tv series based on Barry Eisler's John Rain character. Not a lot of news since so it probably withered on the vine but I remember the JR books not being bad for what they were and I could see KR ok in the main role. I guess maybe since he has a tough resourceful gun-man character right now its on the back burner.

indigi posted:someone spoil all of wandavisuon for me please this part isn't really a spoiler any more: most of the show is structured as a series of sitcom parodies, starting at the very beginning with an I love lucy/dick van dyke episode and later doing bewitched, brady bunch, malcolm in the middle, etc. the A-plots are standard sitcom stuff but with tinges of weirdness that slowly break apart the world it turns out wanda was unable to deal with her grief over vision dying in infinity war and at her nadir reflexively used her latent witchery to create a pocket universe in which she and him could live happily ever after in the sitcoms she had good memories of from childhood. she also resurrected vision in this world as a magical construct. this attracts the attention of a real experienced witch who snuck in to subvert and steal wanda's powers. they have a big witch fight, which wanda wins, and she gives up on her fake world and family to try to deal with it more healthily in the future. it also attracts the attention of
