Yeah it's good. I'm a big fan of the books, and this tv show is fairly compensating for that shit Golden Compass movie that came out years ago!

[Carnage]

My sister misheard the title and thought it was called The Golden Hump Ass. I imagine the plot would be greatly different.

Finished the new BBC version of The War Of The Worlds earlier. Pretty poor overall, looked rushed and Doctor Who-y. Melodramatic and half-arsed.

Thought that too. Felt a little underwhelmed. Had high hopes as it was advertised quite well.

Anyone watching Watchmen (boom tish) at the moment - any good? Just asking, as I'd like to give it a shot but am wary of it due to being precious about the original graphic novel (and considering what a balls Snyder made of the film, I think I'm partly right).

I've only read the book once, and then I watched the movie once and that was years ago..... But at the time I thought the movie was fairly spot on, no?

[Carnage]

It'a hit & miss. The main story is interesting enough, but the subplot with that character from the comuc/film is annoying as fuck. I presume it'll have some kind of payoff but so far it makes no sense. 2 episodes left, so I'm assuming it'll up the stakes next week.

Only if you enjoy Zack Snyder's trademark slo-mo in EVERYTHING, a shot-for-shot retelling of the GN (which is not IMO what you should do for an adaptation), and fairly meh performances from all apart from Jackie Earle Haley as Rorschach. Oh, and a pretty painful soundtrack as well, not to mention a sex scene shot to Hallelujah 😒 . Again, my opinion, YMMV and all that, but I reckon it was bleh.

[Carnage]

It's worth pointing out that the series is a sequel to the comics, not the film. The plots to both are almost identical, but the film has a different ending, and the comics's ending is a plot point for the series.

New Watchmen is class. Soundtrack is amazing. Get on it.

[Giggles]

I think the latest South Park season is the best one they've done in years. Plenty of laugh out loud moments for me. So much Randy Marsh and not so much PC nonsense.

[Ollkiller]

So Watchmen finished. Really enjoyable and very well made.
But the real good news is The Expanse is back. And it's fucking class.

[Emphyrio]

Looking forward to both of them over Xmas.

[jobrok1]

3 eps into the latest season of The Expanse...
Should have it finished before Xmas, I'd say.
Gonna line up Watchmen then, as well.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Finished Man In The High Castle last night. Have to say it's been a really great show, highly recommended.

The Witcher is out today on Netflix, just starting it. Watched non  of the trailers no almost fuck all about it.
