Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

He's Kang the Conqueror, one of the most important villains in Marvel and the MCU. He's in a few upcoming MCU movies, including Antman 3.

So at least one question is answered with the new trailer, we find out where the Byers's moved to with Eleven. It's Spring of 1986 now (so they've covered at least one season per year so if it goes for one more I'm guessing there won't be a time jump...I'm predicting it will come out in the spring (yeah I know it won't make sense since the first season came out in the summer as did season 3 but the latter came out in the summer anyway)

This is where Benedict Cumberbach suffered nicotine poisoning three times while filming.  He was smoking rollies and smoked continuously while in front of the cameras,.

That's was for The Power of the Dog. He's not in 1883. 

if they're going to do this then I want a new Tick animated series, Disney go talk to Ben Edlund and make this happen

Loved Fraggle Rock as a kid.

Was doing some work up at a mine a couple of years back and said to the guy (about 10 years younger than me) touring me around that it looked like Fraggle Rock down there.  He gave me a blank stare because he had no idea what I was talking about... I felt bad for him that he didn't know the joy of Fraggle Rock.

Made sure my kid knows about it... one of her nick names as a baby was Doozie, so we dressed her up as a doozer for Halloween when she was 2 or 3.

I'm actually sorry that I missed the boat in regards to Fraggle Rock, hell Teletoon Retro aired it so many years ago, why didn't I watch it

well he did say he wanted to host a game show that was right for him

And now for a story I would like to call; Why I was never into Harry Potter when it was at it's most popular (because my mother asked me a few hours ago why, and I told her she should be happy I wasn't considering the midnight book releases and premieres of the films)

there's a couple of reasons

1) by the time Goblet of Fire came out I was in 6th Grade and I'd rather have been reading about History and Biographies, I was actually reading about the Holocaust by October of 2000, and I realized that I really wanted my own copy of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl for Christmas (which I did get, I still have it even today)

 

2) Around the same time Teletoon aired the Second season of Redwall (Mattimeo a Tale of Redwall, with Tim Curry as Slagar the Cruel) and I wanted to read the books from that series more than I wanted to read Harry Potter.....I kind of wish they did the whole series though because, I get that they would have had to not include the characters from Redwall eventually (a majority of them didn't make it past Mattimeo books wise) maybe then I would have been more motivated to read the whole series but I have to admit the ending of Martin the Warrior, let's just say like most game of thrones fans that didn't read the books before the Red Wedding....I wasn't prepared for that ending of MtW.
