The Boys is feckin class. First superhero thing in years I've actually enjoyed. Karl Urban is brilliant in it.

Isn't he.. I am finding it very hard to deal with Simon Pegg's accent.. it was so unexpected! Everytime he speaks I'm like STHHAAPP!

Aye it's woeful. Only bad thing in the show so far.

That's the thing, I don't know if it's actually a bad accent. Or is it just that it's coming from him and he tends to speak as he normally does in other shows/movies. .. so it's just so unusual to hear him do an accent?

I thought his accent was quite good, maybe it's just strange to hear him doing an American one. I think as a casting choice he's quite an odd pick, just doesn't fit the bill as the parent of a twenty-something (I know he's nearly 50, but still). I'm only up to episode 5 but definitely a cut above most recent superhero offerings.

Haven't started it yet but I would guess that Pegg is cast in it because his likeness was used in tribute for the character of Wee Hughie in the comic series. Obviously he's too old to play him now.





He's not playing Hughie's father, then? I thought I'd heard that.


Ah right, so they've made him American? Odd.

The Boys is class..fuck superheroes.

Two episodes into The Boys, it's alright. Like Preacher, they've strayed from the source material but not as far. Early days yet but I've only heard positive things so I'll stick with it.

So just watched this ALL New Series Trailers from Comic-Con 2019  video -

Mixed feeling on The Dark Crystal series. Is it one of those childhood things that needs to be left alone or can they do it justice. It seems to have a lot of the original makers involved and i'll be a cross of CGI and actual puppets which is great. I really hope they don't fuck it up!


Finished The Boys last night. Much better than expected, but that's probably because my expectations were so low after Preacher. Best viewed without reading the comics TBH, as it strays further and further from them as it progresses, but as its own thing it's decent. Urban's fantastic, even if he can't decide on an accent.

Just started The Terror watched two episodes so far and it's very good.

They were filming this back in June right beside my apartment building.
