Really? Good! Glad to hear. I've been meaning to get to this, but I've been worried about having another Game of Thrones/Walking Dead blood-porn fuckaround on my hands. I swear, for everything GoT gets right from the endlessly entertaining (if imperfect and less literary than many think) books, there's a whole fuckton of awful shit that translates terribly onto the screen. I'm about damn sick of deliberately disturbing and infuriating shows driving people batshit for 9 episodes and then letting the world sit and stew for 9 months.
But I remember seeing the original movie, and it seems like there's much less opportunity for disgusting bullshit than on these other shows.
I have HBO for a reason, I suppose, even though I almost never watch it now that I've re-watched Eastbound & Down and soaked up VICE PRINCIPALS (good times... I like having fun watching tv), so I'll probably give this a look-see in the next couple days.
Also, I've gotten so used to the Netflix "watch at your own pace" style of releasing shows that I find 1 hour is just not enough goddamn television for me anymore, especially when there's a cliffhanger. I only have maybe 2 nights a week where I have time to watch ANYTHING so it's just kind of infuriating to come home from a long ass day at work and sit down to 60 minutes that ends with a big
??? and leaves me thinking, "Ok. Now what? That wasn't very relaxing."
So I've kinda been more inclined to let the episodes stack up a bit so I can at least watch 2 at a time.
Blah.
