Speaking of John Malkovich, has anyone else watched any episodes of Ten Year Old Tom yet? It's an adult cartoon on HBO. I can see what they're going for but the first few didn't quite hit it. Hoping it finds its voice soon.

Mel Gibson has been tapped to lead the Starz original series The Continental, which serves as a prequel to Keanu Reeves’ John Wick movies, our sister site Deadline reports.
Produced by Lionsgate Television, the three-night event takes John Wick fans back to 1975 New York City, where a young criminal named Winston Scott navigates the city’s nefarious underbelly in an attempt to take control of The Continental, a notorious hangout for all manner of ne’er-do-wells. Though Winston, who is played in the films by Ian McShane, has not yet been cast, Deadline reports that Gibson will be playing a character named Cormac.
The John Wick film franchise, which stars Reeves as a mafia-trained assassin, has so far included three theatrical releases (2014, 2017 and 2019) with a fourth set to be released in 2022.

Finished up Squid Game... meh. It was fine for what it is. I'm not sure I get the explosion in popularity, though.

Ted is flawed, despite the way he presents himself to others. That's what season 2 was all about.

I really enjoyed Heels. James Harrison can actually act a little bit. Only eight episodes, and definitely worth your time.

Hmm. Not sure about this one:
If it's on the level of Better Call Saul, I'd be ecstatic....
https://deadline.com/2021/10/the-sopran ... 234859438/
I have not yet watched the movie, but I've heard it was mediocre to good. But that last sentence by the HBO suit (i.e. Sopranos moving into the top ten viewed series on HBO Max) is why they are doing it.David Chase has talked up the possibility of returning to The Sopranos universe with a sequel to The Many Saints of Newark.
The creator of the hit James Gandolfini-fronted mob drama suggested, in an interview with Deadline, that it could be another feature film with Chase and Terence Winter writing together.
Now, it’s emerged that it could possibly even end up as a TV series for HBO Max.
Ann Sarnoff, CEO, Studios and Networks, WarnerMedia, told Deadline that the company was “thrilled” with the results of The Many Saints of Newark.
“We’re talking to David about a new series, Sopranos related, on HBO Max,” she said.
Chase said that if he was to return to The Sopranos world, any such potential story would take place after the film, which is set in the late 1960s and 1970s and before the original series, which starts around 1998. “There’s only one way that I would do it, and that was if Terry [Winter] and I could write the script together. That I would do.”
Sarnoff admitted that a final decision as to whether the project becomes a series or a feature film has not been made, but a Sopranos prequel series is an intriguing possibility.
She conceded that the box office numbers for The Many Saints of Newark, which stars Alessandro Nivola as Dickie Moltisanti and James Gandolfini’s son Michael Gandolfini as a young Tony Soprano, were not quite as big as the company would have liked, but pointed to the demographics of the people returning to movie theaters as one reason. She added that the film had a positive effect on the show, which launched on HBO in 1999.
“You see The Sopranos pop into the top ten of viewed series on the service and it’s given it an entirely new life,” she said. “It’s literally lifted all of The Sopranos franchise in a new way. You can’t measure just by the box office.”
If it's on the level of Better Call Saul, I'd be ecstatic....

Listening to the HBO Band of Brothers podcast, I learned that Rick Schroeder was in the last cuts to play Dick Winters. He read lines with Donnie Wahlberg, in particular that scene where Lipton says Dike is going to get people killed in the attack on Foy.
Wow. That would've been a different series...
