Black List might be interesting.  But could turn into a complete cliche.
PDH!

Bonfire of the Vanities was a little dull.

One of the worst adaptations of a novel, ever.  When Hollywood finally faces Judgement Day for its sins, Bonfire of the Vanities will be Exhibit A.

It's the seminal novel of the 1980s, and the movie is a crime against humanity.

I kinda like it.  :sleep:

Did you read the book? 

I don't know anyone who read the book and liked the movie.

Come to think of it, I dont' know anyone who liked the movie.  :hmm:

Apparently it is only dull if one listens to Ide. :lol:
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

My thoughts so far:

Expect/hope to keep watching through end of season 1:
Sleepy Hollow
Blacklist

Expect the stupidity/novelty ratio to get too high within a month or two:
Agents of Shield

Might or might not watch again next week:
Hostages
Brooklyn Nine Nine
Lucky 7
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

Dull is a form of bad.  What do you want?

So far, nothing new has grabbed me. :(

The Right Stuff is coming out on Blu Ray in November.  I want it, but at almost $20, it's a little pricey for an old movie. :hmm:  May get it anyway.

Yeah, no shit, Ide.  Stop being so fucking poor.  I netted over $260 today by cashing in my coin jar today.  That's the kind of initiative the GOP wants to see in the unemployed.
