I listened to the first four Hitchhiker's Guide books. They aren't as good as I remembered them, seriously wondering whether to even try the fifth. I also misread "Martin Freeman" as "Morgan Freeman" and was sorely disappointed.

Much better than the Altered Carbon books (with which it is noncontiguous) and Thirteen (with which it shares a continuity but not any direct plot).

The local PBS showed Blackadder and Red Dwarf after Austin City Limits, followed by Doctor Who. I once saw the one with the kiddo with the gas mask asking “are you my mummy” and noped the gently caress out so goddamn hard.

So I'm watching an LP of the 2009 Ghostbusters bideo shame. It starts with Janine taking a call the upshot of which being that the caller wants to summon a dead family member to ask the combination to a safe and that the Ghostbusters "don't do that kind of thing" and now I'm falling down a rabbit hole thinking about the overall weirdness of the Ghostbusters' business model, ethically speaking? E: And that's setting aside the deeply problematic nature of their overall "gently caress the EPA" stance. E2: Also, if they're walking around with nuclear reactors on they backs would it even be an EPA issue? Seems more like an NRC matter? E3: Also Slimer was a loving Act One Boss not the goddamn mascot! Is this game following Movie Canon or Animated Series Canon (and, if so, which one?) Schadenboner fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Sep 26, 2020 |

But, like, it's not clear to me that what they're doing is even legal. And this was back in the 1980s when businesses had to at least pretend that there was such a thing as laws? I mean, they still didn't follow them but the animate dead appear to be persons being kidnapped and held, outside of state supervision or accreditation, by private industry?

My favorite innovated was the different tiers of damage (Personal/Speeder/Walker/Fighter/Capital). It was like a more-nuanced version of the Palladium MDC (which was p.poo poo, IMO)?

Just finished Embassytown and it makes no loving sense. What was at least an interesting problem (the absurd) washed away by MAGICAL VIRAL SEMIOTICS? Protagonists journey from eager imperialist to anti-colonialist revolutionary was also completely unearned, like they got 85% of the way through and realized “wait, she’s a bit poo poo, innit?” and then she reads Space Fanon off-screen. And the newly-enlightened noble savages even speak English because: of course they do!  E: Oh, and miss me with this “People totes just invent ideograms on the spot, guys!” poo poo...

Based on listening to Steven Fry reading Sherlock Holmes Audible recommended me the Max Carrados stories (also read by Steven Fry). They're like: "What if Sherlock Holmes was actually interesting and good and not just a loving cop?" E: Also his superpower is blindness rather than cocaine and heroin?

I don't really see the supposed drop-off in animation quality in Disenchantment between S1 and S2. Or in overall quality: it remaining p.-to-q.deece throughout. I hope it gets a S3?

Finished The Sad-Brained Horse Show. I feel like they shoulda ended it an episode earlier than they did?  E: Don’t get me wrong, it was a good episode and even a decent final episode but it feels almost like it cheated by not having the second-to-last episode be the last one?

Rewatching Fall Of Eagles. Goddamn does this series have strong beard energy. Also Patrick Stewart Lenin!  E: It's especially  because, being a mid-70s BBC production, it's full of faces I'll recognize from 10-15 years later when they were some bit role in Yes, Minister or House of Cards or Jeeves and Wooster or some poo poo.E2: Holy poo poo, Vera Ivanovna is Aunt Agatha! Maybe she was undercover heightening the contradictions?
