I have also watched the first season of Man in the High Castle but not yet the second. I'm not sure how I feel about it. As an adaptation of PDK, it's one of the better ones, some of the choices they made were really good.
Black Mirror: I watched the whole thing (or the first season? Not sure which is the accurate statement there) and you are right, Volans, they never quite get as innovative as they seem to think they are. There were a couple that were well done, probably the ones aurelia mentioned although I don't remember the titles or, to be honest, the plots. For the most part, it teetered on the edge of getting interesting without actually getting there, for me.
I already wasn't taking Black Mirror nearly as seriously as it was taking itself, but this Toast column put me over the edge.
I've never watched Black Mirror, but can never hear or see the title without thinking, "what if phones but too much?"
As someone who hasn't read the books, were the Beaudelaire
parents actually still alive in the books
?
Certainly not that I remember.
I've read the first book, and definitely
not
.
This may have been the wrong week to catch up on The Man in the High Castke. Or the best possible week. Hard to say.
In any case, the second season lost me - I think this adaptation has some premises I just can't buy into. And spending so much time with the Nazis is, imho, a mistake. If they want to just give me the Trade Minister's story forever and ever in whatever universe, though, I am in.
I have neither the desire nor the time to watch Iron Fist, but this review from Vulture made me snorfle: [link]
Danny can't sleep in beds because they're too soft; he prefers the floor. He never wears shoes. If you are reading this, there is an excellent chance that you either dated this guy or he owes you money. Maybe both.
Heh.
Ok, don't laugh, but I have become OBSESSED with Red vs Blue.
ok, you can laugh.
