Boardwalk Empire suffers from always having at least one super annoying character. First with Jimmy and then Gyp Rosetti.

I didn't find either of them that annoying, but even granting that there are still two more seasons.

I don't remember why I hated Jimmy but Gyp Rosetti was a cartoon character.

I take it that Magicians is: we want to do Hogwarts, but with sexy grad students instead of children.

Lev Grossman wrote The Magicians. Here's what he said about Halo 3 for Time magazine.

quote:

Like a pebble that has been rounded over the centuries by the gentle splashing of the ocean waves, Halo 3 has become the perfect hardcore first-person combat simulator. By dint of painstaking labor on the part of its developer, Bungie, it has been refined over three installments to the point where it delivers only pure, unadulterated gaming bliss. Every combat is even-sided and complex and can be waged in multiple ways, using an arsenal of long- and short-range weapons, plus grenades and hand-to-hand moves. Every level is perfectly paced and balanced and graced with soaring architectural compositions. Plus it's graphically gorgeous. The epic storyline and the stirring score don't hurt either. In one of the greatest years video gaming has ever seen, Halo 3 is the very best of the bunch.

Amazon Prime keeps recommending me terrible looking direct-to-video gay movies. I can't recall watching anything gay except maybe that one episode of The Sopranos with Vito.

It would be pretty funny if Amazon started recommending things to watch based on other things you purchased. Oh you just bought a decorative samurai sword and some wall scrolls? Here's a bunch of anime poo poo for you.

Don't think of Breaking Bad as some burden. It's a great show with a few boring parts. It's also way funnier than the ads and press make it out to look.

I've seen critics say The Crown has amazing performances and that it's not the stuffy costume drama you think it is, except it's exactly one of those stuffy costume dramas. There's also ridiculous dramatic music during simple sequences like someone walking into a house or taking a boat ride. Watched 3 episodes so far and it's so loving boring.

Baywatch Nights? Started out as a detective show and then turned into an X Files clone with ghosts and aliens.

Finished The Crown. Great performances and the show looks expensive as gently caress. But the story is all out of whack. On the one hand we have the prime minister going to Egypt and trying to maintain their colony and it's all about to go to poo poo. At the same time, the show makes us think that the queen's sister trying to get married is supposed to be equally as dramatic and interesting. A war could possibly break out and we're still focusing on a stupid marriage? Also, I think the show is condoning British colonialism and makes the Egyptians look like evil idiots.

It's a solid B show. Nothing much to talk about except Gemma Chan is super hot. Second season is actually really boring.

The show is just way too restrained. Like, you'd think the advent of the singularity and AI would make people a bit more excited. Instead, in the world of the show the people just use these bots as maids and manual labor. Basically Star Trek and Blade Runner already explored all the questions about AI in way more depth decades ago. There's really nothing new in Humans.

Speaking of Netflix, I finished Bloodline season 1. It has fantastic acting but they only have maybe a movie's worth of story to go through and they stretch it out for 12 hours. The same writers did the same poo poo with Damages. Just make it into a movie it would have been great.

She's had a kid for like 3 seasons now. It's a good 24 type show if that's what you're looking for. Lots of spies and drone bombings.

Also Tracy Letts, erudite playwright known for works like Killer Joe and August: Osage County, plays a hilariously evil senator on the show. Every one of his scenes are a joy.
