Re: Last Movie Watched
Kong: Skull Island. Not as bad as I was expecting. In fact, more entertaining than The Last Jedi. Much more. Nonsensical, to be sure, but entertaining enough for a diversion while preparing and eating dinner.

Re: What's the last book you read?
Colossus , by D. F. Jones. A moldy oldie from 1966. It never gives any specific date indications in the course of 220+ pages, but hints at events taking place round the turn of the century--that is, the 20th becoming the 21st. It tells the story of a runaway supercomputer--well, two of them really-...

Re: Last Movie Watched
Saw the film Tuesday afternoon, as soon as I could clear time to spin the disc. I have six or seven pages of notes I'm working up into a proper post for the proper thread. If anyone is interested. If not, well, that's cool, too. 6-7 pages?!?!? Eagerly awaiting your essay. I think it should arrive s...

Re: Last Movie Watched
The Last Jedi . D (and then I'm generous). Generous? You have a gift for understatement... The last film I watched was (part) of The Conjuring 2 , which was just a little too stupid to finish. I don't usually laugh during horror movies, but this one was a laugh a minute. The Warrens... Ugh. And the...

Fear the Walking Dead , Season 4.1, the much-hyped Morgan Jones crossover from The Walking Dead . Okay, actually, the last show I watched was Talking Dead after this one, but this was the last fiction I watched. Underwhelmed, I was. That's still an improvement over my (dis)satisfaction with the thr...

Prometheus. Yes, that one. It's a mess, but it makes good mealtime viewing. And it's way better than that awful "sequel."

Re: Last Television Show Watched
Yeah, I was really underwhelmed. After the first, 6-episode event series, I felt done. Sounds like there's no reason for me to jump back in. Not unless you enjoy being bored and wasting your time. After the big build-up to last season's finale, they pulled back, way back this season, and it was mos...

Dances with Eskimo
It's readable, and it has its moments, but it could have been cut, tightened, and cleaned of anachronisms.

So. As I've said elsewhere, I've seen it now. Remarks forthcoming.
Meanwhile, I make this prediction:
Episode IX will be called...
The Whimpire Versus the Gelded Alliance.

The X-Crement Files, "Event Series" 11.10: "My Struggle IV"
Well, what can you expect from a series that's ripped of a title from der Führer four freakin' times?
Adios, Mulder and Scully. Don't let senescence hit you in the ass on the way out.
Yeah, I was really underwhelmed.

Remind me...you are a fan of Blade Runner or no? Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new one compared to the original. After a fashion, yes.

The X-Files, 7.12 (I think), "X-Cops." These programs are not ageing well. I remembered this one as amusing when it first aired. Last night, it just put me to sleep about 20 minutes in.

Count to Infinity by John C. Wright.
Reading it was strangely like counting to infinity: it took forever (or seemed to), and wasn't very enjoyable.

Unimpressed. I liked the short teaser better than the long teaser. I really didn't like the long teaser, or, I suppose they're calling it "the trailer." Probably only trailer, in my estimation.
