Quote from: Rev. Powell on September 08, 2026, 11:38:51 AMStarted the "Death Note" anime. Good pilot, looks more coherently plotted than a lot of anime. Not sure how they can develop the premise for 37 episodes, but I'm down to find out.

When you finish that one, I'll be quite interested in your thoughts, it's a good one to hear people's opinions on.  I will say the last few issues of the manga are worth reading after the anime, for contrast.  For the most part they are quite close though.

36 more episodes at 1-2 episodes a week will take me a while, but I'll try to report back. (I am an anti-binger, I spread viewings out by preference).

Imagine your life is so uninteresting that you are reduced to stalking someone who played a Goblin in TROLL 2....... not stalking Nicole Kidman or Beyonce or Ryan Gosling or a Kardashian even... no, you're driven to stalk an extra who appeared in a relatively obscure horror movie in monster makeup. :buggedout:

I hope you get that signature someday, though!v :bouncegiggle:

I find it odd that farage would get his picture taken drinking Guiness. After all, it is black, comes from another country and takes a while to settle.

Not a personal connection for me as such, but Kristi is friends with someone who played a Goblin in Troll 2, and who ended up with a stalker because of it. Despite this, her friend did agree to sign my DVD of it if we ever meet in person.

I went to school with (and was taught by the mother of) someone who was in DEAD WOOD (2007).

3.4 on IMDb

sample user review:

""Dead Wood". Get it? Dead wood. Wood is sort of dead, the bad actors are nearly all dead, hence their CGI merger with the trees means they're "dead wood". Plus, of course, the paper on which this movie's script was hurriedly written is made out of dead wood, and the ideas contained in the script itself are just as dead as the paper they were written on – which is wood-based, as I mentioned earlier."

The Guyver - hadn't seen this since I was a teenager, rewatch in honor of Screaming Mad George's death.  It's...  Not good.  His creature work is great, but the film is thin.  Passably entertaining and not boring though. 

My favorite part is the bad guy's getting a little bit of side development that goes nowhere.  I wish there was more of that as they managed to be more interesting than the lead.

My wife and I just watched the first two seasons of Silo in like a week and a half.  That was a lot!  I've read the books it is based on, and the further it goes the more they diverge.  Personally, I like the book version better, but if you care more about interpersonal drama (parts of the book are a bit like The Martian or Project Hail Mary, with people engineering solutions to their predicament - this is largely excised), you'd probably like the show.

Another thought, Common is in it and he's bad.  I actually thought he was decent in John Wick 2 and in that Western TV show he was on, but man, he's bad here and has a lot of screen time.  Doesn't help that the Alexandria Riley as his wife is MUCH better.
