Cabinet of curiosities. 2 eps in and this is right up my street. Very vault of horror, proper old school creepy. Can't wait for the rest of it but not tonight. Going to save it a bit

Ya I thought the second episode was great and my favourite of the lot.

[Eoin McLove]

Fuck, the first one was gimpy as hell. Should I return to it?

Ya I didn't think the first one was great but really enjoyed the second one.
It didn't ally take itself too seriously and the effects of the creatures was really cool.
The lovecraft ones were done pretty well too I think.

[Eoin McLove]

Cool. I might have another gander tomorrow so.

[astfgyl]

I've only 4 watched and they're all very different. 3rd one is pretty gruesome

Finished The Devil's Hour. Very good. Reminded me of another show in its headfuckery but I'll say no more.

[Eoin McLove]

Looking at The Crown again. Superb telly.

Reminded me of a film big time. But like you not saying the name as it would give away the whole plot. Capaldi is fantastic in it. Great all round cast. It builds the tension nicely over the 6 episodes and the last episode was brilliant.

[Emphyrio]

I hate when shows don't nail the ending but they got this spot on. Casting was perfect too, even aside from Capaldi.

Gonna start Interview With The Vampire this weekend. Hopefully it captures the feel of the movie and not Twilight or Vampire Diaries. There's also a new series, Let The Right One In. Again, hopefully it's along the lines of the movie, which was great.

Saw the trailer for LTROI, it looked terrible. I've heard good things about IWTV but they've cast a black actor as Louis, which fucks a lot of the book's plot out the window from the off.

[astfgyl]

Oh ffs. Is he going to be a black slave owner now or will it just skip all that and do something else altogether I wonder.

Suppose I'll have to stop saying racist things and check it out

[Carnage]

That's what struck me, in the book he owns slaves and practically fetishises the Creole women around him. Unless I missed it in the book that he's mixed race himself - and I'll happily stand corrected if that's the case - it doesn't make much narrative sense at all.

[astfgyl]

Having read the book myself back in the day I just can't see how they'll work around that unless they do him up in whiteface or something. Saying that, I also can't remember much reference to his colour so if someone digs out the justification then fair enough

[Carnage]

Just had a Google gander there, apparently they've majorly changed the backstory - it begins in the 1900s, he's the illegitimate son of a slave owner and runs a brothel instead of a plantation.

If they deviate that far from the outset, will it be any kind of faithful adaptation at all, I wonder?

[astfgyl]

He might be a vampire will be about it from the sounds of that
