I'm not familiar with the source material, but that preview looks awful and expensive.

It will definitely get cancelled early IMO.

I was able to catch 'Kill la Kill' before it leaves on the 14th.

Glad I did.

I think if they handle this like they did the Audible series, it should wrap in 3 seasons (3 trades of source material per season).

If you’re not familiar with the comics, and don’t want to read, the audible production is incredible.

S1 on audible was awesome. I am struggling with S2.

I waited to start that one when I had a road trip. It’s not something you can background while you work or are focused on something else. I enjoyed it as much as the first.

Yeah, I listen while driving. I chewed through the first bit with the Lucifer storyline but am stuck now on the standalone episodes.

Regardless, looking forward to the TV series.

The Netflix is a joke Bill Burr special was disappointing. Burr, Wolf, and Carr were the highlights but it felt like their B material and then it was all downhill from there with the other comics failing to engage me.

Agreed, those 3 were their usual good-great but I had to skip several of the others because of how bad and annoying they were.

Watched Gray Man. I liked it. Sort of a spy thriller mixed together with a heavy dose of action. Throw in some humour (Gosling deadpans a few lines that are very funny) and you have a decent movie. It seemed a little long at 2 hours but overall, we enjoyed it.

I also enjoyed Gray Man and it really didn't feel like a 2 hour long movie when I was watching it...

The Gray Man was enjoyable despite a silly story. Felt like a Bourne rip off with some Russo brothers Avengers style quippy dialog. The action was solid and I appreciated the ending wasn’t as predictable as expected. 7/10.

Did anyone else think Agent 6 must have had the same lawyer as Nic Cage in Con Air? No way should they have gone to jail.

Lol! When it comes to the American Legal system I am always constantly surprised.

I’ve also been watching the new Iron Chef. It’s fine but feels over produced, scripted, and gimmicky, with the addition of themes on top of the secret ingredient adding unnecessary complexity. Makes me miss the simplicity and unintentional humour of the Japanese original.

The 99 Woodstock docuseries is real good. Really exposes the sheisty work they did at the top. Then how they spun it to make Limp Bizkit look like the bad guys. Hey, all they did was give the ppl what they needed.

And also, how can you not lol at RHCP for covering Hendrixs Fire while the ppl where torching the festival grounds.

I liked it a lot better than the music box doc on hbo, which felt like it was trying way too hard to be woke and blame it on some weird white racial angst. The reality was there was no single cause, it was a perfect storm of #### ups and mob mentality.
