With your comment and experience taken on-board, we are gonna give 2 and 3 a go again. Thank you!

I love Mitch Hedberg’s stand-up. The shows would start with the audience confused and it looking like he was going to bomb, but slowly they began to catch on to his style and by the end he had usually won them over. Such a unique and humble talent gone too soon.

Another brilliant offering by Ken Burns and a stark reminder of how little of the nasty history of our nation we are taught. He should be in charge of the history curriculum in our public school system.

The CW is just trying to piss people off at this point.

Another thorough, illuminating, and thought-provoking documentary by Ken Burn’s. Forever shortsighted, will we ever learn to respect and live in harmony with our planet and the other species we share it with?

Ok This is an integral part of the new “TOOL and HANDYMAN” trend..
This Tool is close friend with the “gardner” and the “Beekeeper” all sharing the same shed so to say.
The new cinematic “Tool/Hammer universe.” We have from Marvel studios noticed an falloff in our ticket sales and noticed this peculiar takeup in homestead Diy interest. We wish you a happy coming next 5 years with The Rake, Hammer Happy, Mr Nail, New Exiting Backyard Shed Rendezvous with Shovel and Stick and their naughty Podlings, and of corse Bonkers in the Bucket with Britt Lawnmover.

Hell yeah! That’s how you do a teen drama. Eat your hearts out, WB.

I’m seeing a trend. Beekeeper, Bricklayer, and now The Painter.

Holy sh!t they’re milking this franchise to death. I didn’t even like the first one that much, looked too cartoonish.

Good to know. I think probably in the wake of The Waking Dead ending last year that fanbase is desperate for more, so anything halfway decent that resembles it is going to get huge praise. That is my best guess.

I loved TWD but around season 6 or so I tapped out since it just got to be too depressing despite how good it was. It was always people constantly grieving the deaths of the other characters. I suspect this show is probably a similar dynamic too but I’ll watch the 1st epi & give it a chance at least.

They all are simplistic; even the books are too short.
The South moves; The North moves. The Coasts are a thing; Cities are a thing; Country [in that Nashville way] and Flyover Country are a thing. The OP refers to a mindset, and that mindset referred as being of The South, as that’s where the mindset itself has held the most power historically, referencing itself by The South while doing so. And readily voiced as Country or Hick or Redneck across the nation. Imprecise synonyms where the cardinal direction itself is a large meta-tag that only exists because of the density of the type so tagged in certain regions, but the regions themselves are amorphous and nebulous af. The show above doesn’t just appeal to The South by its title alone.
It may not be helpful. It may also be helpful. Sometimes, Fncking Beware the Fncking Dog: It’ll Bite You and Make You Dotarded carries more weight. They are dismissed and demonized with reason: The ridiculous gets ridiculed when it’s shown ridiculous and still does its damage for being a religion in all its trappings of sophistry. That they are people makes them partial product of their environment; that they far outnumber violent criminals, working their damage passive-aggressively at yet greater cost both to the world, economically and environmentally [etc]; and to the liberal experiment the USA is, is deserving of scorn. There are untenable positions which bear too much poisonously radioactive fruit. There isn’t a Violent Crime Party; there is an American version far nearer to the worst of Europe’s last century and the shameful past of America’s own last century and the centuries’ prior, than mindsets of that type have been part of, validated by, cultivated for in quite awhile. Fascism’s up. There are signs. Antifascist signs may get planted wherever.
Those like them always plague every society. Their positions adapt to destroy and limit what is Other, even if they themselves do not evolve.
Invective is a rhetorical device. Whether apodioxis or bdelygmia; aganactesis or vituperation. You prefer medela; that’s fine. They each have their moment; Beta’s moment wasn’t yours.
Civil in text need not be granted to that which has already been rendered Bitey Fncking Dotard Infectious Dog.

I Googled and found the site you copy pasted the “predictive programming” definition from. You seem confident you learned something. How can you be so sure? Recent History does not allow for that level of trust in main stream media anymore.
Since you know so much about the markets, how are the sales on lazy coach potatoes and lollypops?

Here’s the scoop. This is not just the movie chopped up. Back in 2020 while working on the Elvis movie, Tom Hank’s got covid and production was halted so Baz Lurhmann decided to revisit the 2.5 million feet of film from Australia, the making of which was plagued by many obstacles.

This has been recut and reimagined with 30 minutes of footage not included before being added. The ending is a bit different, but the final scene is the same.

A 3 hour tour. Where have I heard those words before?

Binge incoming. When I finish this, I’ll tackle the 30 episode Chinese version.

Based on a book series by Hugh Howey, who also wrote Silo. The first two seasons have been filmed and are now in post production.

you kinda need to watch Wanda Vision too, right?

Both Turd and her co-star (Jason Momoa) are lunatics. He is absolutely the worst actor on the planet. His beard has a more character than he does. What rubbish. GoT was his best role. This is just shite.

Where are all the links?

The unnamed intro song is haunting af and perfect for this show. I noticed that the lyrics change from episode 2 to 3. I eagerly await the end of this season so I can rewatch all of it to see what I can get from it that I might have missed the 1st time around.

Greenlit for second season. Yay!

This is the kind of science fiction I love, all about the story. How Hugh Howey, the author, came to be a successful published writer is an interesting one. His Beacon 23 books are also being made into a series slated to be released sometime in 2023.

That was one great show. Ending was satisfying. I think it’s done but who knows there may be another season
From a canceled or renewed site: “As of March 20, 2023, Mayor of Kingstown has not been cancelled or renewed for a third season. Stay tuned for further updates”

My favorite member of the Addams family. With Burton at the helm there is hope that it will be more than just another teen angst, coming of age drama. Fingers crossed.

Some links are subbed, some are dubbed. Streamwish is dubbed, if that’s what you are looking for.

Adding Neil Gaiman to my list of “Watching/Reading Regardless!”
Also from him, “Good Omens.” Highly recommend both!

Elon voted for Biden but even he has come to realize the left has gone so far left they fell off a cliff into a world of crazy.Same with Bill. He isn’t following that herd off a cliff.

Juno Temple, Jon Hamm, Joe Keery, and Jennifer Jason Leigh star in the upcoming season, which follows a housewife whose past begins to slowly unravel after she lands in trouble with local authorities.

One of the most brilliant intellects of our time pulls back the curtain to show us how things really work. He paints a bleak and alarming picture, yet offers hope still that if we can join together in unmasking the real enemy of the American people, we could reignite the American Dream and finally make it a reality.

Not a fan of this split season nonsense.

Excited for this. The teaser trailer looks great.

Good news/Nice surprise —it was for me anyway… S1 of 1883 is 10 eps, not just 6!
New ep next week.

funny,how cold blooded this upper class brits always were and always be…as long as the profit looks right

What?

I’ve been to more Motorhead shows than I can remember and was lucky enough to get to meet Lemmy twice. The 1st time was at a Dallas show in 1986. They were playing with Wendy O Williams, Cro-Mags, and Scratch Acid. A friend who worked at Z Rock scored me some tickets and backstage passes. I got there early and pretty quickly figured out that the evening wasn’t going to be what I had hoped for. Lemmy and Wendy were bickering over who got to use the only dressing room at the venue and neither was engaging much with anyone. I did get to say hi though and enjoyed the show. My best memories of that night were hearing Lemmy snap at Wendy “You don’t need a dressing room. You don’t wear any damn clothes.” and partying with the guys from Scratch Acid after the show. Two of their members would go on to form The Jesus Lizard.

The 2nd encounter was a very different experience and a memory that I treasure. Motorhead was in town for SXSW in 2010. They played two shows and Lemmy was plugging the world premiere of this documentary at the film portion of the festival. I knew they were coming and had secured a temp job working at the convention center where the press junket and screening would take place. I staked out the service hallway behind the room where an interview with a local paper had taken place and was delighted when he exited alone. Much to my own chagrin, I blurted out “Lemmy!’ much louder than I had intended and he turned quickly in my direction to assess the situation. His slightly widened eyes relaxed as he looked me over and he smiled at me.

I couldn’t believe my luck. The hallway was deserted and I had him all to myself. There was Lemmy and my first impression was how Texan he looked from top to bottom. The well worn, personally molded cowboy hat. Unadorned, black western shirt with snap buttoms. Dessert plate sized belt buckle holding up black jeans and the obligatory going out on the town cowboy boots. Expensive, custom-made, Texas-themed boots with a large single star featured prominently front and center on each one.

He stretched out his hand and we shook. I uttered some of the usual fan banalities (big fan, blah blah blah) and recounted the first time I had met him. He laughed at the Wendy memory and then spent almost half an hour retelling little stories about her. He was charming, gracious, and funny af. As he was leaving I was inspired to bum a Marlboro from the pack protuding from his shirt pocket (I don’t do the autograph thing). I still have that cigarette stored in a little glass tube somewhere in all my crap.

Angelina Jolie and Salma Hayek. Is it November yet? sigh

A perfect example of how the media stokes division by feeding fuel to the culture wars. It seems that everyone has picked a side to pander to. The wealthy telling us who to hate and what to care about while the politicians they’ve bought do little to improve our lives.

wut?

I’d vote for the platypus if it was classified as a bird.
good luck pūteketeke

Not as bad as I thought it would be.

Many lives were destroyed by believers of this nonsense and I’m not talking about devil worship.
