am thinking the obvious thing the new constantine needs is a unique and defining look. like it or not, the appearance o' a comicbook character is important, and am suspecting one reason why john constantine were popular in comics were his alloy depiction.

jenna coleman as constantine were ok, but were nothing 'bout the character which made us want to see more. 

on the other hand, a corinthian spinoff would personal be more intriguing than additional jenna coleman constantine material. 

HA! Good Fun!

Now that the network shows have premiered, any thoughts on new shows?

I'm watching Quantum Leap (NBC) and Alaska Daily (ABC), but still on the fence about whether I want to keep watching. My only returning show is La Brea (NBC), so I need new shows to watch (that are not on streaming services).

That brings back some nostalgic memories of a different time and a different world... Peter Falk as Columbo was one of those shows I grew up with (because it made it to Danish television in the 70's and 80's)

 

Edit: What was that other show they always showed back then... a guy starting with cutting up the corpses and then working his way backwards towards the crime and the perpetrator. Dr. Quincy I think it was called (in Danish TV) 🤔

Still not sure if I'm excited or not. Kinda have big hopes, but a part of me feels like I'll stop watching after 2 episodes tops. : x

I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future. Do you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sitting around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake, singing "I'm an Oscar Meyer Wiene"

Shes cute but no Wednesday.

agreed, but am likely not seeing the same as most. wednesday displayed emotion frequent in the new yorker comic, and am having difficulty recalling her doing anything overt sinister... although pugsley and his sister did prepare one christmas eve by waiting in front o' the fireplace, ready to turn up the heat on santa.

truth to tell, pugsley were the addams family spawn pulling pranks with regularity. by contrast, wednesday silent smiled cheerful (frequent) or wept ironic, but she existed to react to situations as 'posed to foment mayhem. you would not recognize the ricci movie character or burton's take based on the one-panel comic. 

the thing is, am kinda glad burton's most recent waif is no wednesday, 'cause while the original were a sweet little girl with a curious perspective, it is unlikely charles addams' wednesday woulda' worked as the focus o' a 2020s tv show or movie.

HA! Good Fun!

Question for anyone else who watches House of the Dragon, which probably is just @InsaneCommander at this point. Both Daemon and Rhaenyra are dragonriders. Why are they constantly using carriages and other means of transport? Show ran out of budget already, or what? Did the day for night shooting of last week's episode eat too much money? :p

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

I think they are all Schroedinger's dragons and if not shown, they might be dead.

I mean, how many dragons are supposed to exist? Who is a rider? Rhaenys? Luke and Jace? Aemond went alone in the dragon pit and was scared by a big one. Does anyone ride it? Was he trying to bond it?🤔

When I have a little spare time I've been making my way through the YouTube channel Dust, which features short sci-fi films, usually in the 6-12 min. range. Wouldn't surprise me if someone's mentioned it here before but it's a nice way to see both maybe some newer and some older ones you may have missed or never heard of (most of the time I never hear of/see short films). Some you may like, some may make you go "meh" but it's always interesting to browse 'em, when you're not in the mood for long time commitment.  :)

There was one for horror themed shorts as well but I forget the name of the channel...
