Hateful 8- this year in select theaters and everywhere January. Tarantino makes great movies and I doubt I will be disappointed.

I'm pretty excited for Lou Diamond Phillips to appear on Blindspot ... Young Guns might be my favorite Western. Other than that, I am most looking forward to 20th Century Fox releasing a theatrical version of Star Wars.

 

Ah! How could I forget Star Wars! Obvious one.

 

And it was also rude of me to forget White March 2;)

No wait the next Mad Max movie! Definitely that.

I'm also going to add Battletech to the list. And now that ESPN killed off Grantland, I'm looking forward to what Bill Simmons does with his HBO projects. Hopefully, he re-hires some of his ex Grantland employees.

XCOM 2, Star Wars, and the Winds of Winter.

 

I wonder if George Martin will ever finish the next book.  Wasn't it supposed to be done by the end of 2015?  Now I think it's "maybe 2016", which likely means 2017 or later.

 

Love the series, but absolutely hate how much of a procrastinator he is.

Well, I was not disappointed by Lou Diamond Phillips, obviously, since that would be impossible, but the TV show he guest-starred in, is becoming nutbags-predictable ... even with the inimitable Jaimie Alexander. The premiere episode was like a 10, losing one point per episode ... feels about like a 4 now.

 

My new favorite upcoming video game is Fallout ... Fallout 4, featuring Lynda Carter, Wonder Woman, as a completely voiced character Magnolia who sings four original songs in the game. 

All Stop. On Screen.

The problem with these series nowadays that do long story arcs, instead of sticking to weekly stories that end at the end of 1 hour, is if the long story arc is fizzling or doesn't have enough steam to last the entire season.  Blindspot is slowly getting to that point; I went from being curious about Jane's past to simply wanting it over with.

 

I also wish these long story arc shows would still manage to have self-contained stories per week.  You know, a story that they have to solve, but with hints and scenes that still build on the larger story arc.  Instead, some of these episodes don't seem to have anything to do but add more "WTF is happening" to the main story arc.

 

I used to like shows like the Blacklist and Person of Interest, because at first they solved individual cases per episode while adding another bit of story to the overall story arc.  But both shows basically ignored the episodic-specific stories in favor of being one long, 13 episode story.

The thing is, Martin agonizes over every paragraph. He writes, edits, rewrites and re-edits while checking for consistency and with what has been written before. He's not a hack who'll churn out voluminous garbage. I find that type of meticulous attention to craft refreshing in popular fiction (or game development).

 

And he never gave out a release date for Winds of Winter.

There are many Fantasy writers, old and new, who wrote much more complex works with much more foreshadowing and still managed to have a decent if not yearly release schedule (Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson immediately come to mind).

 

The thing is, Martin is a discovery writer and the issue with discovery writers is when they get writers block they are screwed, also they usually need many more revisions upon completion of the first draft.

hmmm.  jordan and sanderson? 

 

salinger took more than a decade to write catcher in the rye.  

 

is as easy to come up with examples o' authors who took their time to write as it is to note the guys who churn out bloated monstrosities with machine-like regularity.

 

HA! Good Fun!

For all his edits/re-writes, I'm not sure the extra time actually solves anything for him.  His past two novels in the series were, IMO, well below the quality of the first three.  So taking a decade to write them didn't exactly improve the quality.  Whereas the first three, weren't they written within a shorter time frame?  Maybe he's better off *not* re-writing constantly, as maybe that results in the quality going down?

 

I think it was the publisher who gave a rough estimate (when asked by fans) of a Christmas 2015 release, which then got pushed back to sometime in 2016.  The one thing Martin has stated is he expects to not take as long to write this one and the rest of the series as his previous delays.  That's proving to be false.
