  1. I'm not exactly sure what debate Poe was watching because, as an admitted Hillary detractor and someone who won't be voting for her, debate was like night and day. Donald proved for 90+ minutes that he was out of his league by a master debater (by comparison) and that he's completely unqualified to be the GOP nominee.

     

    He lied repeatedly (I did my own fact checking throughout the debate), he continuously cut off Hillary after first requesting she not cut him off in the beginning, and he just meandered through every turn, did his usual B.S. with the same dumb, common folk delivery, and when he wasn't talking, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere but there like a seven year old child, prediagnosed ADHD.

     

    Anyone who's still supporting him: good Gods, hold your breath for a minute and don't stop for an instant. The worst candidate a party could nominate in... well, it happened twice in one cycle but Gods, Trump makes Hillary likable.

  2. I also would have preferred it if they aborted the whole sixth season with Doomsday and just had done the S7 story. Deb just could have discovered Dexter at the end of the Lumen story.

     

    That whole 8th season. Jesus Christ, worst season of television ever.

  3. Yes, yes. To Dexter you listen. Even if he's wrong about his namesake show. The journey? Absolute trash and a waste of time. Probably up there as the biggest, "what the fuck was I thinking wasting multiple seasons on this shit" since probably Nip/Tuck. I wish I could single out a showrunner to loathe as much as I do Ryan Murphy, who deserves AIDS more than an actually working career, but Showtime and CBS really fucked that show.

     

    And they killed Doakes way too soon. I wish they could have given up Miguel Prada before the Bay Harbor Butcher but what do I know.

     

    Hi, Dex.

  4. I kind of wish I was in a coma long enough to have missed the theatrical edition and woken in time for the extended edition's release. I thought of it as an entertaining, unintentionally hysterical feature length preview to a film that's not even coming out for another... maybe 7 or 8 months if we're lucky. Oh and I loved Christopher Lee's stunt double.

  5.  

    I wish someone would ask me questions.

    If John Williams dies who best to score the next Star Wars? Should Williams score the stand alone films that are coming, or should they branch out?

     

    Michael Giacchino... cause he's the spiritual successor of both Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams. And no, they should branch out. Just please, no Zimmer and no Horner.

  6. Did you find Season 1 as a whole awful or just the finale?

     

    I'd say the pilot was excellent and up until episode 5 or 6 the show was good... then it went off the rails and they dragged their feet. I loathed the show by the time the finale ended. I gave Season 2 a chance and recorded the season episode by episode and if it went off the rails again, I'd stop all together, but it never really got to the point with the exception of the episode where Linden went into the hospital. And the kid disappearing and spending an episode there was an annoyance but overall, this season makes up for the ****ting the bed the writing team did last year.

     

    That's just me.

  7. It was enjoyable and the pay off worked. It's far from perfect as the cinematography is still a weak point for me (I despised the argument in Banner's Lab for how it was shot but at the same time, the scene with Loki and Black Widow was gorgeous.) There was the one tracking shot showing all the heroes doing their thing in battle that really showed its seams and needed cleaning up because it appears in the final product that the camera is moving, finds it's target and all of a sudden, there's a stillness like someone had shut a camera off and picked right back up like one would notice.

     

    Anyhow... it's the best of the Marvel films since Iron Man and I enjoyed it but it's far from flawless.

  8. Days of Heaven - B+

     

    Beautiful cinematography, simplistic story.

     

    The Thin Red Line - A+

     

    One of the best war films ever made. Superbly cast with who's who actors, its less meladramatic than Saving Private Ryan, and is just a gorgeous film to watch. Cameo appearances by John Cusack, John Travolta, and George Clooney; it stars Jim Cavaziel, Sean Penn, Nic Nolte, and the guy who played Casey Jones from TMNT. The latter two have the best scenes together in the whole film.
