Relevant to ALL my interests
I'm always in flux when it comes to my interests. TV shows end, new ones come back. I watch a movie and need to see it again and again. I read a book, and the story continues long after I've read that final page. Here a few things clogging up my mind at the moment.
Movies (and books):
( Vampires and a lovely actress )

The VA movie is terrific--I'm sorry it tanked at the box office, it really deserved so much better. I think it might be a timing thing--people are over teen vampire stuff at the movies, and there's no way to know it's going to be any different unless you've read the books, y'know? It's unfortunate. But YES, it's a good series!
I read about a third of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell and kinda got bored? I dunno, I can see what people like about it, but for some reason trudging through a whole one book that size--I can't do it, not with the Victoriana, at least not anymore. It's probably a failing of mine, but I was thrilled when I found it was going to be a series. That might be the perfect format for it. I'll have to check it out when Penny Dreadful is wrapped for the season ( ... )

Yeah, I know it's a tome. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw it was 800-pages. It's one of those books, like Gone With the Wind, where I'd have to set aside a month for it, and not knock it out in a day or 2 like I do most books.
From what I've seen, people who've read the book are digging the mini-series; even though lots of it is being condensed and/or dropped completely.
Possibly because there's just less of him, and he has stuff to do when he's not bothering Victor?That could be it. I think Victor has gotten creepier, too, regarding Lily. Yet, I don't mind them when they're with Vanessa. LOL Maybe that's her superpower, she makes creepy men less creepy and brings out their good sides. But it's amazing: within two episodes Caliban gets put into ( ... )

That's encouraging that book fans approve of Jonathan Strange, the show. There's no way they'd be able to get in everything in a mini-series.
DUDE! There's a revelation (of sorts) about Ethan in Ep. 9 that is going to make you squeal. I know I did when it happened.
Eeeeeee! Preemptive squealing, sorry, but I'm looking forward to Ethan and Vanessa side-trip to the Cut-Wife's cottage. I think that's the next one I have to watch. Not sure if I should be calling this yet, but OTP!!!
FYI, the first is getting taken off on July 4th for Comcast; not sure about other providers. Maybe since you've dropped Hannibal, this could take its place. . . .?Well that's rubbish--that's pretty much the day I was planning on binge-watching half this stuff. I get the day off, so it's convenient. Eh, maybe I can grab just that one on July 3rd when I get home ( ... )
