What a shock, RIP Paul O’Grady. You live a wonderful privileged life. Mr. O’Grady past away on Easter Sunday. I feel bad for his partner and his many dogs that will miss him dearly.

Yup and there’s a third one in development and an Avengers style team up movie with Bambi , Pinicchio and Peter Pan along with other films featuring all of those characters.
No Steamboat Willie? That mouse has got to have some pent-up rage.
Maybe the date is wrong and there’s a break for a week…can’t find this anywhere.
English panel shows are one of my guilty pleasures. All the usual reprobates are in attendance.
They lost me when the girl wandered off by herself into the woods at night, as if she had never seen a horror movie in her life.
Covid and the lockdowns were an opportunity for a hard reset of many people’s lives. A chance to form stronger bonds with family and friends. The time to better ourselves and pursue interests that gave us joy. To re-evaluate our life’s path. I wonder how many made significant changes that improved the quality of their lives.
A lovely short by Tom Roberts (AKA Tomfoolery) with Colin Farrell in it. Tomfoolery is best known for his poem The Great Realisation, which has been downloaded over 60 million times. You can find a reading of it here. https://www.primewire.tf/movie/1506613-the-great-realisation-short-2020
A pretty good watch. It starts off a bit slow, but by episode 4 it starts picking up the pace. If you’ve read the books, it’s a bit of a letdown, though. While it touches on some of the thought-provoking ideas presented in the novels, it does little to flesh them out.
I’ll be the first to admit that the books can be a tough read. Packed with science, paragraphs and even pages can go on about the details of these ideas. The author is actually a power plant engineer and not a trained writer, so while he is strong on the science, his character development leaves much to be desired.
One change I did like is that, unlike the books, the story is presented linearly, making it much easier to follow. Liu Cixin said in an interview that he feared opening the story, like we see here in this adaptation, might have provoked the censors too much.
So while this isn’t the show I hoped it would be, I understand that literary works like these are extremely difficult to adapt to the screen. You want a product that is appealing to as large an audience as possible, while also keeping in mind that you might only have just the one season to tell the story as best as you can. If you don’t mind the science, I highly recommend reading the books.
Let us hope we aren’t children lost in a dark forest, crying out for companionship, but only drawing the attention of wolves.
Now on to the Tencent production. I’m very curious to see how that adaptation compares.
Are you referring to Jimmy?
someone just heard about the “isn’t it past your jail time?” dig. lol
Binge incoming. When I finish this, I’ll tackle the 30 episode Chinese version.
i liked the trashiness of the 80s version, but this is a serious production, anticipating the coming eps
The 80s one was white male wish fulfillment, but most historical fiction, fantasy, and science fiction back then was. It catered to the largest demographic that read those genres.
Based on and a reimagining of the 1936 Universal Classic Monsters film Dracula’s Daughter. The project was stated to be a modern-day adaptation of one of the Universal Classic Monsters characters similar in approach to The Invisible Man (2020) or Renfield (2023), with the synopsis being described as “a unique take on legendary monster lore and will represent a fresh, new direction for how to celebrate classic characters”.
The project was later stated to have originally been titled the same as the source it’s based on, Dracula’s Daughter; while Universal restated that while they had considered a singular continuity with The Mummy (2017), each release will continue to be “rooted in the horror genre, with no restrictions on budget, rating or genre. They are not part of a shared interconnected universe, which allows each film to stand on its own. This new direction is filmmaker-driven, inviting innovative filmmakers with original, bold ideas for these characters to develop the stories and pitch them.”
Did this one come out? Did I miss it!?
Google says US release date is March 29, but locally (Austin) it’s not showing up in a theater until April 4.
Liked the series, but hated the ending. There’s no way that dysfunctional bunch had a happy ending.
Excellent!
Season 2 airs sometime this year, with there being speculation it will go up against House of the Dragon in June.
Sky Go says episode 5 airs March 25 and 6 on April 1, but it also says 4 was supposed to drop the 18th so…
This is a dark comedy, right? Please tell me I’m not the only one that finds it amusing.
I’m not able to tolerate Maher anymore, but I watched this episode for my man Max Brooks. He’s always a can’t-miss for me; so smart and funny. Nothing fazes him. That is so appealing.
For me, it’s Cornel West. I never miss an opportunity to see Maher acquiesce to his mental superiority.
He’s so far into Richard Burton that he is Richard Burton. 6/5 stars for this episode, so much good stuff going on.
If you expect a fun, light Y.A. fantasy adventure, do not watch this movie. This movie is brutal. It is closer to a horror movie than a fairy tale. It honestly felt like watching Ripley trying to survive against the xenomorph in the movie Alien sometimes. But dont take my description as a negative either. Cause I fucking loved this movie. I am not the biggest fan of Millie Bobby Brown, but she is phenomenal in this movie. Her character is anything but a Mary Sue. She makes mistakes, struggles to find her courage, suffers terribly. And the movie makes you feel the fear, desperation, and phsyical and emotional pain from the terrible ordeal she is trying to survive. The atmosphere is clostrophobic and very scary. The dragon design is really creative. Every actor in the cast bring their A game, especially Robin Wright. As a sword and sorcery fan, this movie exceeded my every expectation.
The original Grimm’s Fairy Tales were pretty brutal. This would have fit in well with those.
I’ve watched this a couple times. There has not been one Cohen brothers movie that I’ve watched that I haven’t loved. They are one of the best directors in Hollywood
The brothers will be working together again sometime in the near future. They’ve already written the script, but no word on when they will get around to making it.
Live-action K-drama series based on the popular Japanese science fiction horror manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki. “Set in a new locale with fresh characters, the series charts its own unique course while maintaining the imaginative world and profound message of the beloved manga.” Looks like there might only be 6 episodes.

or the excellent anime series https://www.primewire.tf/tv/30897-kiseijuu
Im really loving this show ……
Same. Finished the 1st episode and now I’m settling in to binge the rest.
It’s looking like 6 episodes that will air sometime late 2025.
Wondering how many “Constellation” watchers know about this? Was I the last to know?!
This one is pretty good https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1456795-three-body or you can wait for the Netflix version that drops in 2 weeks https://www.primewire.tf/tv/1376385-3-body-problem
Lots of mind-bending, physics-defy stuff going on in it, plus metaversal gaming and 1st contact. I’m working on finishing up the links for the Chinese version.
No one is going to mention that Roy Wood Jr made an appearance?
You should read the rest of Clavells books. shogun to king rat, noble house to whirlwind.. If I recall right Angi-san is the ancestor that runs through em all.. ?? Clavell calls islamists the most dangerous people on earth.. That would tweek some noses today .. lol It has been 30 years since I read them all.
Blackthorne is only mentioned a couple of times in other books. Dirk Struan, the main character in Tai-Pan, and his descendants are a large part of Clavell’s Asian Saga. His books were filled with racist stereotypes, but given that he was a Japanese POW during WW2, it’s not surprising that his views of that part of the world are a bit complicated.
No wonder so many people got triggered it depicts accurately how horribly Christian Caucasians were treated back then, and no I’m not Christian I’m just stating fact. Good show love seeing how it’s portrayed correctly
So the reimagined Crow 2024 has a Viking mullet : ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1340094/ For Me the long hair around his face is a part of The Crows character. It’s how he hides from the world…
I see no reason for this remake. There is no way they could do anything but screw it up.
It’s been so long that I’ll have to rewatch the 1st half of the season.
Not the best fan edit out there, but it does a pretty good job of removing the bloat from Jackson’s trilogy.
How can I ask for a different link? For whatever reasons, dood.watch does not work on my computer.
Natasha Lyonne had revealed that season 2 is in the writer’s room.
My love of TV crime drama stems from the ‘70s. In fact, the only time I was allowed to stay up past my bedtime was for the “Mystery Movie” that alternated between “Columbo,” “McCloud,” “McMillan & Wife,” and “Banacek” (all my faves!)…and only because my Dad and I both loved the fledgling TV crime drama genre!
To me, the beginning of the pilot seemed reminiscent of “Columbo” in that the killer is seen committing the crime at the beginning of the episode and then we see how the investigator (here it’s an outsider-lawyer) connects the dots while getting under the skin of everyone around them. Nostalgia for that TV era means I’ll stay put for this!
Besides, I enjoy Carrie Preston in this type of role as I think she does quirky genius very well.
It’s an inverted detective story. Most recently we’ve seen it with Poker Face, which I loved.

Felt like a sketch comedy bit that went on way too long, but it did make me want to go rewatch The Mighty Boosh. https://www.primewire.tf/tv/30719-the-mighty-boosh
y’all didn’t like the mighty boosh? or is it me? bats eyelashes
I think you’re probably spot on, but still… he’s such an underrated talent and such a pleasure to watch.
Besides a voice role in Kung Fu Panda 4, he has Everything’s Going to be Great with Allison Janney in post-production, and Jackpot with Jennifer Garner and Mila Kunis in pre-production.
No third season for this limited series with the extremely talented Bryan Cranston.
I don’t know where they would have gone with it. It felt like it wrapped up pretty neatly.
