I'm sure nobody but middle aged folks on Twitter find Minions funny any more. But this ... this made me chuckle.

Middle-aged? You mean like us?

'Bronx' nice to see a drama/thriller about police corruption that isn't set in Chicago, LA, New York or London.

The Wire, Sin City, Dukes of Hazzard, Dirty Harry.

I've been enjoying this guy's videos lately. Educated analysis of topics around sci-fi and fantasy series.

We had a good discussion about the shortcomings of the show in the book thread a while back.  I think this video nailed the core problem. But, I saw the show before reading the books, and enjoyed it for its own merits.  In hindsight I should have waited to read the books until after the show ended its run, but I think the show has moved so far away from the books now that I can still enjoy it on its own merits.

Same writer, different piece, this time a thorough breakdown of the History of Middle Earth books. Told with humor and some writing advice throughout. Great stuff!

Thanks for this! Very enjoyable.

Kareem was on the jive plane with Frank Drebin, that has to count for something.

Hey Sophie, good to see you around here again.

  I still lurk a bit, even if I don't post much.
