What Are You Watching?

We just finished the first season of American Gods and I couldn't help but think WTAF at the score by the middle of the season. It's like Angelo Badalamenti but not. Slow and serene scenes but the score says we're moving at 100.

Also the show ending at 8 episodes and being like not even near the middle of the book had to be frustrating at the time.

Going to start S2 after the Shogun finale. Man that's a good show.

Finished S1 and 2 of American Gods...there's no way this show ends in S3 with a resolution. It's moving so slow and on top of that has slow motion, like to the point where even Zack Snyder is yelling at the screen to speed it up.

I know that Neil has some credits as writer on the show so I guess he's onboard with the changes but I don't know how he sanctions some of the buffoonery of what's on screen. Is it because of GoT that there's so much sex in the show? was it a requirement around that time?

I do enjoy Mad Sweeny's way of saying "dead wife" like it's one word and an actual name. I dunno, it's weird.

Gaiman's tumblr has a lot to say about the series. Generally; he's likes to say things like the show is canon to the show and the book is canon to the books/comics (ditto for Sandman and Good Omens and Dead Boys Detectives and Lucifer). Also, the book has all that sex (source).
There were issues getting S4 off the ground for a couple of reasons but as I understand it that was going to be the final. The graphic novels based on the series are gorgeous... each seasons gets an edition and we have all three.

I liked calling her "Soup".

Ah, I haven't read the book in over a decade so that explains that. I read the graphic novels but with those it's even more abstract than the novel because of how short they are. They are beautiful though, that's for sure.

Also seeing the opening to S3 and Marilyn Manson on stage was weird.

I had conflicting feelings about him as well but given how his character [redacted REDACTED redacted], I felt okay at the end.

Didn't really find the graphic novels that short... 200+ pages each (I'm talking about the hard cover ones)...

I read them on the Kindle app so I have no idea how big they were. Goodreads says 712 pages so that tracks what you said.

So. HOLY SHIT.

Late Night With The Devil is the best horror film since the whole The VVitch/Hereditary wave.
It's DEFINITELY my favorite since The Lighthouse.

There is SO MUCH FUCKING SYMOBLISM in it: i mean, this movie deserves to be watched with headphones on, and frequently rewound, especially in the first act.

It features a LOT of "blink and you'll miss it" foreshadowing that MOSTLY isn't vital to the plot, but there are plenty of easter eggs- 33s and 666 and such, and mentions of a certain name, and a specific symbol...yeah.

I fucking loved it.

Just watched "Civil War". Really good film with a killer soundtrack.

Interview With the Vampire on AMC might be my favorite show on right now. Unfortunately I didn't know the new season started until this week...so far so good.

[elevenism]

oh, word?! damn. that's good to hear.

I MUST ask, though: are you an Anne Rice diehard?

I'm not, but I do like the movie quite a bit. This is obviously better, I think it's more accurate to her book as well.

Good enough for me,. O, my brother. I.watched the first two episodes, but didn't finish.the season, due to.the influence of.this horrific demonic force.
In the Far East, it's known as Yūchūbu.
I dare not speak its western name aloud, but I guess it's safe safe to type it: youtube.
