See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Is anyone watching 11.22.63 on Hulu? I just finished the second episode and, after some rocky please-make-better-choices-Lead-Guy-your-stupid-is-killing-me moments, I am well and truly sucked in.

I have, JZ, and I really like it. Seems like there will be interesting paths, and I've really loved the performances.

I liked that he made some really dumb choices in that I think he's learning from them -- I feel like I might start out sort of cavalier under those circumstances, which might be fine for me, with my escape hatch and reset button, but not so much for everyone stuck in time and subject to the consequences of my time traveling self. Except, really, with the reset button... and then I stop thinking about it because time travel.

The past resisting, and pushing back is such a cool concept!

The moment when I went from "Come on, guy, stop being dumb" to "Holy shit, there are real stakes here" was when the random passing car slammed into the phone booth and the young woman died, rattling James/Jake to his core.

It's been so long since Freaks and Geeks that I had forgotten how quietly, unshowily good James Franco can be.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The comments on that are, for the moment, hilarious.

The Tick has been resurrected (without Patrick Warburton), presumably so it can be prematurely cancelled for a third time.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

TCM is getting a new streaming service called Flimstruck, and it looks like the Criterion Collection is moving from Hulu to there.

I'm bummed about that.

That's one reason we got Hulu in the first place.

Then again, I don't actually watch all the Criterion movies I have lined up anyway.
