It's the downside to copyright expiry.  Schmucks get to fuck with the classics.

What the fuck!

Fuck you, ZOMG KING KONG REBOOT #3.  You're the assfucks this shit is targeted at.

Jackson's Kong was perfect. I would never support another remake.

With luck, they'll use the Gwen Stefani track as a theme song!

There's nothing especially wrong with that.  It's the way it should be.  The public should take care of shunning this abomination.

How about a King Kong vs. Godzilla remake?

Saw 4 minutes of Movie 43. Long enough to see Hugh Jackman with a pair of prosthetic balls hanging down his neck.

Revenge
I finally got it.  If I am to watch this show on fast forward, why do I bother?  So, it's the end of it.  Give me a medal of sommink

Almost Human
Watched the first 2 episodes.  Figure Hawaii 5-0, NCIS:LA but with a sci-fi setting instead of beach and sun and that's about it.

Marvel Shield
It seems to have gone a little better in the last two weeks.  Still well below average, imho.

Black Sails
Gotcha.  It only starts on January 25th   Looks to be good, probably similar to Spartacus in style, as this is from Starz too.  Hopefully, some Canadian network will carry it.

Eh, the average show is completely unwatchable, so it's a bit above average.

[Scipio]

I think that SHIELD keeps getting better.

Peter MacNicol in the most recent episode is gravy for the supergeek.

The Spiders (1919)

Fritz Lang's earliest surviving film stars Carl de Vogt as the irrepressible Kay Hoog, millionaire adventurer.  This was supposed to be a four part serial, but only the first two parts were made.  The first one is like an Indiana Jones adventure; Kay travels to the land of the Inca where he finds a fortune in gold; but a sinister organization, the Spiders, are close on his tail.  Kay barely survives his encounter, and leaves with none of the gold; but he does rescue a priestess and finds that love is the greatest treasure of all.   

The second film starts to turn into Lang's more famous serial, Dr. Mabuse.  The Spiders are back (with just the beer light to guide them) but this time they have masters of telepathy and hypnosis.

The evil genius who leads the Spiders is a woman, Lio Sha (Ressel Orla.)  She wears a spider broach similar to one that my wife has...

And we watched two more. One more episode and we will be done with season 2. And it seems to be a good one.

I enjoyed the first installment of Der Spieler.  The beginning is particularly memorable where Mabuse lambastes his assistant for sniffing cocaine on his lunch break.
