Had to turn that one off.  His shaking in HD was giving me vertigo.

I've been watching Modern Family in syndication. I feel for Ed O'Neill.

Any feedback for Agents of SHIELD?

I taped the first episode, and only watched it tonight.  It shows promise...

Fast and the Furious 6- 5 was surprisingly good and I've read a lot about the infamous runway scene so I gave it a go. It seems to rely a bit on plotpoints in 4 which is one I never saw. Thoroughly meh.

World War Z- I'd heard it was surprisingly good. It was...so-so. Though the whole zombies ignore the sick thing was daft. And the way they shoehorned book Israel into the movie just doesn't work. So Israel decided to build a big wall and threaten its economy because the rest of the world didn't? err yeah...and the coincidence of things going wrong just as the hero was making a flying visit, lol. Not the total disaster it looked set to be but not good either.

Too much moralizing, too many lame jokes, not enough action. Popcorn fare doesn't work that well on a tv budget.

[The Larch]

Watching Das Boot... again.

My hometown appears there!

I'm mixed between Peter's review and the promise it shows... yes, it can be good show, but the pilot was "ok", no more.

Stuff that works well in the Avengers doesn't seem to do it for a 1hr tv format.

NBC has purchased the rights for an adaptation of Constantine for television, and so far the network has committed to a script (with a penalty if it decides to cease development of the show), according to The Hollywood Reporter. David Goyer — who wrote for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Man of Steel  — and Daniel Cerone, the executive producer of The Mentalist and the first three seasons of Dexter, will work on the project with Warner Bros. Television and DC Comics.

That could turn out to be really, really awesome (Hannibal), or really, really suck ass balls (Grimm).
