Watched the first episode of The Tick last night. It was good.

The dude playing Daredevil is the most impressive to me. I've seen other stuff he was in (The Merchant of Venice, Stardust, The Theory of Everything), and those characters were nothing like the tough and gritty Matt Murdock. He's also another British dude who is just nailing the accent.

I'm going fishing this weekend, so I probably won't be able to start watching it until next week.

RedJive standing by.

Jesus. this thread is going nowhere, and doing it slowly. For that one or two day period, I thought we might get back to our normal pace, what with Smudge and Spike and Muncho, etc stopping by.

Then all the pee in the corner scared them away again.

I'll show you nowhere!

Yeah, he's totally my new man crush. One of my best date movie experiences ever was Stardust (dating my now wife), and to see the guy now as a ripped, ninja, super smart badass is a huge shift. I do wish they'd at least tried the redhead thing somehow, but it's a small price to pay to see such a great product on the screen.

I finished Season 1 tonight.

I thought season 2 was even better, Hoff! And I loved Jessica Jones and Luke Cage. Still not sure of the direction or character of Iron Fist but it was a decent lead-in to The Defenders (which I've been enjoying!).

Speaking of Netflix, they just released a movie of Deathnote. It isn't bad but, if you have the time, the anime tells a more satisfying story. There's a lot of cat and mouse/plot twists that just can't fit into a film.

waking up at 4:00 am is not something I would suggest. You would also think that getting back to sleep would easy too. Nope.

I woke up at 4:00 today and don't know what you are talking about! I feel great!!!

I thought season 2 was very good, but I'm not sure if I liked it better than season one. However, they're both a 9 out of 10 in my book (on sale at Amazon.com).

Jessica Jones...great.
Luke Cage...great.
Iron Fist...

not so much.

However, Defenders...GREAT!


Thank you for the tip on Deathnote. I'll try to watch the anime.

I'll warn you that if you aren't a subtitles kinda guy, some of the dubbed voice actors don't exactly fit (at least in my head). Actually it's mostly the voice of "L." He's pictured as this hyper-active, candy-eating, perches rather than sits, type-character who even looks a bit manic but the voice is deep and calm which I was initially put off by. But that is pretty much the only issue I have with the dubbed version.

Deathnote killed the thread!

There are rules! It could have just been made to look like Deathnote killed the thread!

Welcome to the Last Poster Thread, hosted by BudPalmer and wintremute. This week, our special guest will be The Hoff. Our people are also in contact with a mystery man who has the initials C.L. Hopefully he will make an appearance later this week.

So, Bud, now that football season is finally here, what are your predictions?
