Well, he did admit it was a mistake to let the Greek horse in. Begrudgingly.

Why would i edit, unlike you i can admit to being wrong/making mistakes.

Sorry my tongue-in-cheek comment triggered you so badly that you had to resort to ad homs.  :(
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Saw Black Panther with my wife yesterday. It was really good. Killmonger is defintely one of the best Marvel villains, up there with Loki and the Vulture.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Finished Altered Carbon.
Yes. It's very good.

It is apparently very far from the book.

Is 'Homeland' worth watching, as I caught the start of series 7 and am undecided; maybe I've missed too much already?  :D

I've seen seasons 3-5 which were pretty exciting. Kind of like a more realistic 24.

Thanks for that. :cheers:

I'll try watching a bit more and reading wiki for the back story ie seasons 1-6.

Showtime started a cartoon about Donald Trump.  Essentially he's Homer Simpson which means he's a kinder, more articulate, more coherent, more intelligent and more sympathetic version of Donald Trump.  Also, he sound like Fred Flintstone. 

Take this line:   "Each and every one of you voted for me, and the ones who didn't, you kinda wanted to see what would happen."

I don't think the real Donald Trump is that self-aware.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Yeah, he is his own cartoon.

So apparently a segment of the online universe has turned to the position that Black Panther 'isn't a movie about race' and 'would have been just as great with a white cast.'

There are plenty of good superhero movies with mostly white casts. Does Black Panther ignore the formula?

It would need substantial edits to make it suitable for a majority white cast. Race is always swirling around whenever the Wakandans talk about the wider world.
