Ben Affleck has quit from the director gig for the next Batman movie (he'll still star in it). Well, that's all my interest in that film gone. I was looking forward seeing what he would do with that.

Did they say who will replace him? Hopefully not some studio hack   :(

Didn't he direct Batman vs Superman?

No, Zack Snyder was the culprit.
ah, ok. sad news then.

The Minsky Moment

That Live by Night movie he directed bombed (didn't see it).
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I don't think WB has pressured him to step down though, but I suspect that "Live by Night"'s failure may have mined his confidence. He's reportedly rather mentally fragile.

Humans is starting up again, I think this week/weekend. Good show, a British show. Second season coming up.

I also got into Black Sails, watching all the season's shows over the past few weeks. I'm really liking it. This is season four, the show's finale. It seems none of the characters are all good or all bad. Makes for some  some good acting to flesh out the interesting type characters.

Yes, Black Sails is very good.  I haven't watched the first episode of season 4 yet.  Don't know when that'll happen either :D

Watched Genius.  Gifted editor Maxwell Perkins (Colin Firth) helps exuberant enfant terrible Thomas Wolfe (Jude Law) edit his novels. 

Unfortunately, that's pretty much the entire movie.  Two guys discussing how to edit books.  :boring:

Sophie Scholl

Finally pulled the trigger and bought the complete Babylon 5 collection.  I'm planning on looking up a viewing order and starting tonight or tomorrow.  I'm hoping the pleasant memories hold up to the actual product.

If only Thomas Wolfe was actually a genius author. :(

Yeah, my GF dragged me to it months ago. It's a bore.

Dennis Villeneuve announced for yet another Dune iteration. I think he's great for it, though.

Watched Episode One of Black Mirror.

The one with the pig.

Wow.

Yeah, I haven't decided if I am going to move forward with that show.  Everybody raves about it, but...well, c'mon.
