Up until the last two episodes this has been my favourite season of the show so far. The plot twists they introduced in this ep left me a little cold. Some characters seem to be acting out of character. I'll still be tuning in next season but it was kind of an unsatisfactory ending for me...

I just finished A Feast for Crows and the Malazan books have caught my attention. The good reviews here are really stoking the fires so to speak, but I'm going to hold off on diving into another dense fantasy series for a while. Too much sitting on the "to read" shelf as it is.

Geraldo's a jerk now, but at one time he was a fairly respected journalist, wasn't he? (though I could be pulling that from my arse).

YES! I'm just getting my son into the original cartoon now and he loves it. This is very welcome news after the misery that was the movie.

I saw it last night. It wasn't good. First off, I couldn't find a theatre playing it in 2D, and there isn't a single 3D effect in the damn movie. This felt like extortion to me. The 3D effect only served to screw up the focus of several scenes. The dialogue is awful. It exists only to...

For those concerned about the lack of humour, this trailer seems to offer some hope.

The original cartoon was excellent IMO, and not just "good for a kid's show". The story, the characters, the world, the animation -- all were top shelf. However, based on your post I'm not sure if you should bother with either the TV show or the movie. Frankly they don't seem like something...

Encouraging news. Sweet! :cool:

I'm reading A Clash of Kings. Before I started I was concerned this series wouldn't live up to the hype. So far it may actually be exceeding it. I'm hoping the quality holds up. Besides that I'm working my way through DC/Vertigo's Lucifer series. Good read so far. And when I have time I'll be...

I've been wanting to read that one. I've heard a lot of good things.

Oooh, good pull.

Perhaps PJ will feel like directing by the time they get around to shooting it. Other than that I have no idea who might take over. Spielberg and Jackson worked together on Tin Tin, but I doubt he'd be interested. Perhaps Senior Spielbergo?

Ugh, that sucks. There are other talented directors out there though. Plus, perhaps this means del Toro will get to make his Mountains of Madness movie. :cool:

I didn't mind the movie, but all of the above criticisms of it are spot on.

I have OCD, so there are a number of things that I do that are different from normal.
