I also love Danzig, but that vid's an endlessly entertaining classic. Every time I see it, I think of the fit he threw pre Samhain show at Fun Fun Fun Fest over french onion soup.

I’ve seen Danzig’s Book Collection but not the stuff about his house.  It’s perfect.  I love Danzig.

Just finished the second season of "The Witcher" which my wife was more into than me.  I feel like not a whole lot happens over the 8 episode run and it ends with an unearned"twist".  Here's hoping season 3 improves

The Tourist…....4 in of 6 and loving it.....

@Joberwocky I really liked Season 1 — thought it was kind of perfectly ramshackle. Haven't gotten to S2 yet, though.

In other series news, I saw that Raised by Wolves is coming back at the beginning of Feb. SUPER psyched for that.

[Joberwocky]

@popvulture I figured I was one of the only people that really enjoyed Raised By Wolves 
Stoked.to hear it's.coming back

We’ve been bingeing Euphoria during this snowstorm. I like it. Interestingly shot and totally trippy, as well as extremely well-acted for a “high-school” drama. As with most things about people that age, I’m sure all of the actors are 20s+

@sabergirl I haven’t checked out Euphoria because I’ve been scared it’ll just make me worry about “kids these days.” And I don’t even have kids I’ll fully admit it’s an absurd reason.

@Joberwocky man it’s so good! I love that they were willing to spend money on a more heady sci fi offering. The world needs more of that.

I've been reading through the southern reach trilogy for the first time,.and damn does it put "Annihilation" to shame

[popvulture]

I am totally with you on that. I still find it offensive that Alex Garland just took Jeff Van Der Meer’s basic premise and tossed the rest. Plus the orig was a MUCH more interesting story, imho. AG is a good writer, too — you’d think he’d be more respectful of that sort of thing after Danny Boyle murdered The Beach in the film adaptation.

[Joberwocky]

I agree that the premise and execution of the story in the book is much more compelling, and unfortunately AG's movie left no chance to adapt the different but fun second book

[sabergirl]

[mention]popvulture [/mention] oh, I am indeed terrified of what kids are apparently getting into—but it’s not really new information. I am a part of the last generation that didn’t have cell phones or consistent internet access in high school and college. I feel like it’s a whole new ball game now, and much of it is no good.

Oh absolutely — I’m in that exact same age bracket and I find the concept of growing immersed in the internet, smartphones, and social media absolutely terrifying. I feel for the whippersnappers.

[Joberwocky]

At 35 I feel like I was right on the cusp

[popvulture]

Yeah I’d say about waist deep in webbernet, but safely above water

[sabergirl]

Well, and Facebook and other socials didn’t exist until I was well out of undergrad. I feel like that changed everything.

Facebook started I think my freshman year
Actually needed to verify a college email address to join

I’m less worried about the web rotting their brains as I am about them not being able to breathe or everything being on fire all the time.  I’ll be dead so I don’t really care.  My only real regret is I won’t be alive to see real life Blade Runners.

[Matt]

Back on topic though.  My wife and I started Peacemaker and she was totally not feeling it.  I was ever so slightly high as balls so I’m not sure if it was as bat shit crazy as I thought at the time but it seemed truly strange.  I’ll watch it when she goes back to work.

Anyone here watch The Righteous Gemstones? Just finished season 1,can’t believe how good it is or that I hadn’t previously heard anything about it. On HBO.
