no Drake, gtfo

One clip on the Woodstock show did made me laugh. When the dude who was in charge of the rave area said something like

There's 100,000 drunk and high Limp Bizkit fans.... and they are all heading my way

Yeah great. Not. Flol.

If you're interested there's a documentary called Metal Evolution (which is actually really good) and the Nu Metal episode (each film is dedicated to a different genre of metal) the film maker actually talks to Fred Durst about it. My recollection isn't great but I'm sure Mr Durst comes across quite well in it, quite humble and regretful about the whole thing. Even if he feels like all the blame was unfairly directed at him and his band. The RHCP playing Hendrix's Fire while the place was starting to burn seemed far more irresponsible imo.

I'm starting at the earliest Degrassi and working my way to the newest. I might get to Drake, I might not 

Sandman, Westworld S4, The Umbrella Academy S3, and Locke & Key S3. Sandman was more than good enough, but I still prefer the comics; Westworld is still good, but I'm waiting for the end. The Umbrella Academy is still weird and good, looking forward to the last season; Locke & Key wasn't up to par with the rest, but nice enough to watch to the finale.

Black Bird on Apple tv is good. Elton John gets locked up for drug and weapons trafficking, but if he can befriend and snitch on serial killer the feds will let him out. 

Watched the first episode of Sandman which I liked. The season preview looks awful, as did the trailer - hopefully that is just bad trailering.

Locke and Key Season 3.  Not bad.  Season 1 was special but they were unable to replicate that in other seasons.  The lore is still pretty awesome though - makes me want to maybe get into the graphic novels.

Not saying that they phoned it in this season but... It feels like they phoned in this season lol.  Only a few episodes in though so we shall see.

One thing about Stranger Things. Millie is obviously jockying to be famous but the actual person with star power, and I hate nepotism, is Ethan Hawkes daughter.

swank 60s spy comedy type featuring a go-go team of pop tarts from the era in an avengers inspired series. occasionally they'll ran into a bunch of goons behaving like their in west side story, but the proper culprits are hell bent on taking over the world (starting with tokyo of course). 

this is all pre charlie's angels and wouldn't come into perfection until playgirl took over ditching the silly yé-yé inspired look for something slightly more elegant

Been zipping back through Narcos Mexico while padding through the last season of Better Call Saul. Just into the second season, hah and everything just goes into fifth gear. It’s a great show even second time round. Though third season is a waste of time. So should finish both Better Call Saul and Narcos at the same time. Then I’ll be looking for something new. Been thinking about Twin Peaks, yep I’ve never watched it! That’s blasphemy right?

Have you watched Haunting of Hill House yet? Helluva show.

Did try it and watched about five episodes but didn’t get on with it. If I remember the first one was ultra spooky but then each episode after seemed a bit naff. Funny I’ve been recommended it by a few friends who have good taste but it didn’t work for me. Sometimes it can be the frame of mind we’re in when we watch something? Same as music. Maybe I’ll try again.

nahhh it's pretty lame you got that right...

@J3FF3R00

Locke & Key s03 - cheesy af, cliché dialogues, lots of sappy filler,  atrocious acting... I keep watching it though cause the overall idea pretty neat... good show to watch while browsing the intrawebs...

All this talk about it made me want to watch it again (for the third time… f the h8rz) so I’m doing it at the same time as catching up on Better Call Saul. Hill House is incredible and I seriously feel bad for you if you didn’t enjoy it. It’s especially better the second and third time when you know what happened before the beginning of the first episode AND when you know about all of the hidden ghosts . That shit is so fucking fun. 

Trying to watch my way through Stranger Things 4 but the long ass episodes feel like a drag and the humour has mainly gone. Season 1 was great but it's become more and more of a drag

the Sandman - what's wrong with this aspect ratio? looks like it's vertically stretched... or is it just my rip?

Just finished watching s03 of The Boys. My gosh, what a seriously fucked up series this is. I fucking love it.

NSFW:

"The Stand" (2020),  Anyone see this one?  Just about finished it.  Gotta say I actually liked it quite a bit - which is surprising because it looks like it's rated pretty badly.  It's like a mix of Devil's Advocate and Lost and throw in the apocalypse.  If you are always on the lookout for Sci Fi's like I am, this one is worth a try.

Netflix just dropped a bonus episode of Sandman

It’s intentional

The 4th entry in the loosely connected Greg “Garcia-verse” with the same traveling cast of actors, the humor is most similar to Raising Hope, with its 2 leads in different roles, but they can say whatever now bc it’s streaming. You have to download Freevee (Amazon) to watch it, great subtle references to Raising Arizona and Breaking Bad. Waiting for Jason Lee to show up eventually.
