currently watching about 8 shows:
Better Call Saul Season 3 just started. I think that old Mike bloke might be the greatest cunt in TV history. He's like a steel jawed hunting trap. eg, pulling apart his car he suspects of being bugged piece by fucken piece to find the recording device, then the crafty switcheroo, the stake out. He has to be the most glacially patient & unruffable cunt in all of tv land
The Expanse. sci fi future bollox. Pretty swank. Made it to episode 6 but I think I may have given up on the fucker
The Leftovers. s3 underway. gave up on last season, the cunt was just so bleak and miserable I backed out of the fucker. Will give another burl cos its so well done Rick and Morty season 3 started, bonkers.
Blacklist, still hooked on this shit despite the main woman being somehow just really vaguely annoying.
Homeland season 6, still pretty crafty although real bummer about Peter Quinn losing his macgyver bollocks then carking it
The Americans, season 4 is here, still top shit although could do with more spy craft skullduggery macgyver shit. Bit too heavy on the sooky sooky soapy rubbish. The gravedigging scene in ep1 was somehow incredibly menial yet intensely well done. Bugger me how long did it go for, 6 or 7 minutes?
Review. fuck me this is mental. flatout laughing my arse off at ep1 cocaine scene. It’s a comedy about some idiot who reviews shit like addiction and stealing. By getting addicted to stuff and going out and stealing shit then alloting stars from 1-5 for the experience. The main guy is goddamn perfect
Legion. marvel stuff so ordinarily would give a wide berth but read great reviews. it’s damn sharp. Well, the pilot was anyway. If it disintegrates into that marvel comic book david copperfield crap then I’m out. Set in a mental hospital although you have to ignore that fact that all the nutjobs look like young well groomed hipsters and the facility itself is a groovy 70’s hepcat 2001 space odyssey deal

Films...
Does Star Wars VII count as a film or is it some other entity?

Star Wars is of course a film. I saw it in 1979 at the Lido with my father and it was unmistakeably a film.
X-Men Apocalypse (2016)
10/10
Not much of a movie guy. Don't know shit from shinola. The worst cross-eyed bogshit sentence ever arrythmically wedged into the worst book ever written is still better than the greatest film ever made. In fact the word "a" flukily scrawled by a dyslexic dog's tail in a trail of its own piss at night in the rain is still greater than the "greatest" film ever made. Films are little more than moving postcards being thrown in your face for 2 hours. An insulting medium spoonfeeding nothing to where there could be something.
That said, I give this film 10/10 even though it’s only at 48% on Rotten Tomatoes. Fussy spoilt bastards. What do they want, the moon on a stick? It’s got fancy special FX and shooting fire and flashing lights and shit! If I was an 11-year old boy I would drizzle my load watching this. As it is, I am 14 and still consider myself Very Impressed. Really though, as an old git who has only been to the Lido twice this century, I just sit there and marvel at the flashing lights and flying contraptions. Hugh Jackman was shoehorned in for about two violent speechless minutes. WFT. I thought it was his franchise? Contractual obligation? The all action 5-minute intro was probably the greatest thing I’ve ever seen and must’ve cost NZ’s GDP. They built a whole pyramid and then knocked it down! Sad! And expensive! Story? Dialogue? Whatever. Don’t need it. Some dude just used eye-powered laser fire to burn a motherfucking tree in half. Do you know how much that must’ve cost? Trees don’t grow on tr oh shit

Suicide Squad (2016)
12%
Channel surfed across this one, hey wasn’t this famous, so gave it a burl. First thing I notice is that the dialogue seems to have been written by a disgruntled & gimpy 12-year old girl with no friends. Except that one “cool” girl who she thinks is her friend but she’s actually really fucking not.
The pacing of the film and “scene placement” (technical term) makes it almost imaginable where the director said “cut, that’s a wrap!, holy shit this cartoon shithole of a film is so goddamn awesome, I luv u all!” It just chops around from battle to battle then it ends. RT gives this film 25% but I give it 12%. And all 12 of those points are for the blue spangly hot pants. Like a filthy old lech I just followed that tiny band of cloth around for the entire film. Marveled at it. Sought it out in my hour of need, my sequined solace as this shithole of a film lurched to and fro from embarrassingly juvenile talky talk bit to flashy flashy lighty lighty shooty shooty bit before ending with the obligatory set-up for the sequel.

Star Wars VII 8.9091/9.40049383726
It IS a film. Totally not part of the previous Star Wars ethos, but how many 50-year old parents dragging their kids out for a "bit of fun" give a shit until boom! Patricide? None. Zero. Walt Disney is into patricide. Sick fucks. Okay, I sat through the entire movie twice without thinking about how to bolt from the cinema. I did close my eyes a lot though as my eyes are shite so the screen gives me terrible headaches with all the changes in light during this particular film. So, old people, bring your walkers to keep you off the ground and out of hospital. You know the story, and if you don't, well, consider yourself a fucking force of nature. I'll see the next film as well, and some of the stand-alone films too because I live in a hick town just a bit north and east of nowhere.

I'm really just getting into Rick and Morty even though It's been over a year since i was first introduced. There's a lot of crazy detail that goes into the show that I'm starting t see. Best current show on TV of the past 10 years maybe? And I haven't even sat down yet to watch all the episodes in chronological order, which as I understand is the best way to watch this show.

Have watched the whole lot, in chronological order. BEST show. There is just no filler or episodes off. Wish Rick would get back to burping his way through every second sentence though.

I need to get a Hulu account just for this show. There are some episodes for free on Youtube, but they've been sped up (with pitched up audio) and the action is contained in like a quarter of the screen when the video is on full screen. So annoying to watch like that.

wondered why ep2 of new Rick and Morty season never appeared. They havent even made it yet
Incredibly, that 1 episode was only released at all because 1 fan on twitter asked the 2 creator guys to put it out. They havent even made the rest of the season yet.

Yeah, they did an April Fools prank on cartoon network where they played that one episode over and over. Had access to a TV that day and had it on this background and at first thought it was just a marathon. Then I realized it was just the same episode. Great episode, though.

Rick and morty, finally, back on. Ray Donovan Aug 6 back in business The Last Ship, Aug 20 back in business, god only knows why I’m persisting with this UsofA war machine propaganda pamphleteering Ozark: fahk, this one is addcitve. perfect timing for the hot summer weather too, v.soothing to sit down and see the expanses of cooling water and dark shaded trees. Crackign story too Preacher: ep 1 of new season was totally OTT awesome. Wee bit gory for the squeamish camp leaders Mock the week s16 so great Game of Thrones. Internet cracking a collective sookfat over time issue plot holes. No fucks given here I just sit there like a drongo and let it wash over me. After 6 seasons I still only know the names of about 10 characters. Fucked if I’m gonna do any background swot book nerd shit for a fucken dungeons and dragons tv show The Fall: murder intrigue bollox with X-Files chick gone all sultry detective, up to season 3 now, only 6eps in a season but struggling, not wildly enthused by all the lengthy sad recountings of serial killer sookery. The arched eyebrow at end of ep 3 the gilded tell that beardo nutter’s “amnesia” is a put on. Can see the court case against him falling apart, temp insanity, x-files bleach blonde obviously infatuated with him, let7s move to a cottage in the country, fade to black as they step hand-in-hand down into their new s&m dungeon….

currently onto
Ash vs evil dead. comedy gore bonkers. Holy Shartmaster2000, the main guy is a dead ringer for my dad in the 70's! The Americans: final season just started. iHomoland Mindhunter. 2 eps in, its great. 1977 FBI seriaal killer profiling dealie Billions. horrid hedge fund wankers. wow this is great though Atlanta. still great albeit vaguely infuriating The Blacklist. formulaic rubbish but James Spader is so good Silicon Valley: looking forward to some more Russ Hanneman
Better Call Saul should be back soon
waiting for Westworld to start again end of April
Gave up on a few fuckers too:
Legion: looked great, didnt win me over Altered Carbon: great idea, also looked great, character failure. I flagged it after 1.5 episodes. Shit writing fails to engender comraderie. Spend all the money you like on whizz bang effects. Comraderie seems to be the common denominator with the shows I like. Pals and cunts and cunts who sometimes become pals. That's all you need. The Expanse: lasted about 3 episodes before flagged it. Maybe that marvel comic stuff isnt my bag Counterpart. great idea but flagged it for some reason

https://www.reddit.com/r/westworld/comments/8aztn4/we_are_westworld_cocreatorsexecutive/dx330b3/
WESTWORLD creators want to release a spoiler video before the season? To the "reddit community" and trust them not to tell the rest of the internet what will happen in upcoming season? I do not get this at all. They have to be trolling. Trying to eradicate all the weekly conjecture from last season, false or otherwise? Why don't we just read the last page of every fucken book we pick up and be done with it.

"Atlanta". The Teddy Perkins episode. Bonkers. Took me until all the way until the projector scene before I very proudly realised that Teddy was Donald Glover under latex. I know my TV.
