unfortunately wheel of time. I can't keep from wanting it to be better. I really don't get how that ip took so long for something and finally when it gets done it diverges so far from the source material.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

You did better than me, I firmly gave up on it by the end of season one.
CopLand (1997) - An iconic cast doing what they do best. Stallone as Sheriff Freddy was fantastic.
The Drop (2014) - The late, great James Gandolfini supporting Tom Hardy in a well thought out gangster drama.
Oblivion (2013) - Tom Cruise plays a drone technician in a post-alien-invasion Earth. Olga Kurylenko is the most beautiful woman. Entertaining.
The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) - A feel-good ghost story about dying alone (somehow).
Prisoners (2013) - Hugh Jackman and Terrance Howard have a real rough week, with Jake Gyllenhaal giving a masterclass as the blinking detective.
Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) - Nicholas Cage gets his balls blown off because he thought about having sex with a woman whose chin could beat Jay Leno's in thumb wrestling. Movie was and hour and a half too long (runtime 1.43)

I just started watching Parks and Rec for the first time. Just started season 2
Ate a gummy and watched Prey, that was something
All in all, a slow week for watching, but a busy one in every other way
Season 2 is loads better IMO they stopped trying to be the office.
That's what I've heard, the spouse and I are giving season two a chance.
I will say in season 1 Leslie says her mom is as pretty as Margaret Thatcher and goddamn i belly laughed for a couple minutes on that one
Ha! I'm British so totally approve of that joke
The Last of Us. I finished the first game this week so started the series, it's pretty good. Easy 9/10
Watching Laverne & Shirley right now with my brother
I've just started sugar on apple which I like. It's got Colin Farrel in it and it's easy watching, kinda film noir style. I've just given up netflix so I finished girls5eva and bojack, both of which I really like.
My group of friends watched the new episode of Severance. We got more questions than answers lol.
I... guess I didn't watch anything. My kids tend to monopoloze the TV
Just started Deli Boys. Very funny.
I've not heard of that, what kind of humour is it?
We just finished watching Dragon Ball Z Kai and are now on YuYu Hakusho.
Started watching The Orville this week.
Finished every season of Dexter.
- Dexter (8 seasons)
- Dexter New Blood (1 season)
- Dexter Original Sin (1 season)
Awaiting for the newest season, Resurrection.
Currently trying out SweetPea but it just seems not for me. Have watched 2 episodes but can’t really get into it. I will probably watch Jackal or Shogun instead.
Omelette du fromage?
Watched all six Scream movies. Was really quite fun!
That sounds like a scream.
...I'll show myself out.
I'm binge watching all three seasons of Log Horizon. And already in the third one. Fuck, I forgot how fun that anime series was.
Does the log ever reach the sun?!
It depends on the amount of errors and if you used the -verbose option.
Call The Midwife!
And A Street Cat Named Bob. Very uplifting
I tried watching a movie from the '60s about the Algerian anti-colonialist story, but the flatform clapped out. Which is a shame because I was really getting into it.
I'd been meaning to watch Severance since season one came out, and I guess the viral marketing finally got to me so I binged it.
Season one is awesome. Season two is ehhhhhh. We'll see if season two can pull it together in the last episode.
I will say, much like Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Saul, I appreciate that Adam Scott and Zach Cherry were given a chances in more serious roles, because they both kill it. Although I found Irving and Dylan to be much more interesting characters, as their stories just appealed to me more for whatever reason.
Completely agree about season two. It's been a bit of disappointment so far
Pamfir, Wild Men, See How They Run and Last Night in Soho.
F1 qualifying!
