The comic book nerds in the Marvel thread might give a ****.

Deadwood:The Movie premieres May 31st.

I'm wondering - will HBO get in trouble for using c-sucker?

Hard to tell. I mean, it's a period piece, but the language used wasn't around in that period, so....

I always preferred Hooplehead anyway.

Why would they get in trouble?

Well, a certain element of the population takes exception to homophobic or whatever is their cause/passion. I could just see some Twitter warriors up in arms about the use of the word.

No one else watching Love, Death, & Robots?

It's *just* outside of my normalcy parameters but I am allowing myself to enjoy it. A lot.

it's on the list, a few if the episodes are from John Scalzi, so I'm looking forward to it

A buddy at work recommended it, and I do plan on catching it in the near future. Sounds weird, and good.

For some reason, I thought Catastrophe was about single middle aged people with cats...so I stayed away.

After reading some comments here, and an article about the last season, I decided to give it a try - and it's really good.

But there is a line from the first or second episode - when Rob talks about why people don't have 11 kids now, like in the old days, because when one dies, there are plenty left over. I forgot that his own child died recently, due to cancer...

yep and he's very vocal about that and the healthcare his son received while living in London. It's heartbreaking reading about it, but he does a really good job at having it out there for other people going through the same thing even if he acknowledges he doesn't have any answers and how horrible it is for him a year later. I like that the show just throws it all out there and doesn't hold anything back. Feels very realistic. It can be very dark, but the emotions feel true and when it's playing for laughs, it gets them 10 fold. Sharon and Rob play so well off each other.

TIL that Cinemax still exists.

That reminds me - the last season of Into the Badlands starts soon. I completely forgot about that show until I saw an ad in Instagram. I've said it here before, but I really liked the first season and it completely fell off my radar.

This looks pretty damn good.

As expected, Season 3 of Santa Clarita Diet is great.

We're still trying to get through season 1. We started it, but got sidetracked and haven't picked it back up.

Hanna was pretty good. Eight episodes, so not much bloat, but it dragged with some teenage angst stuff in the middle.

Some great action scenes, good casting, and should make for a good series.
