The TV thread

I don’t think he’s done much of note before or after.

 

Eternals come with the promise of more Marvel appearances over the long term. He’s probably already piled up enough money that he’s not worried about ordering dinner.

 

I think the 'thud' that Eternals landed with doesn't really make that a guarantee. I haven't seen it yet, but Marvel is usually fine with taking one or two components from a movie that 'worked,' and redoing everything else, if they want to revisit it.

 

They didn't really give his character much of a chance to work or not, yet. That little tease of Black Knight was one of the better parts of the movie. I doubt he is getting a solo movie, but maybe a role in Blade. There was also a rumor that they are setting up a Midnight Sons movie. Keeping the appearances smaller might actually be appealing to Harrington.

 

Physical seemed like it would be a fantastic show but started sliding about 5 episodes into S1.

Now they are just stretching the shit out of every storyline they can and there's just no cohesion or soul.

 

Started a couple news shows that are intriguing.

The Old Man on FX with Jeff Bridges and John Lithgow is a cat-and-mouse spy thriller. It started a little slow and confusing but made more sense by the end of the second episode.

Dark Winds on AMC is the story of tribal police officers trying to solve a double murder, and possibly linked armored car heist, on a Navajo Reservation in 1971. Robert Redford and George R.R. Martin are among the executive producers.

 

I hear good things about "The Old Man".

 

First episode yes.

Second episode, formulatic.

 

Listening to Richard Quest deliver a report from start to finish is full-contact sport.

 

Animal Kingdom is back. Going to ride it out for the final season ... looks like they're going to try to burn off the episodes quickly.

Saw that Leila George (young Smurf) just divorced Sean Penn.

 

Finished "The Lincoln Lawyer" last night. Enjoyed it.

Starting latest season of "Stranger Things" now.
