Oh shit, they just introduced the Battle Android Troopers! I loved those BAT robots.

And Sgt Slaughter is kicking their ass!

So very did not age well.
Cold Slither remains a rock n roll epic however.

Netizens of the Empire, I give you BK's next obsession:

https://www.news.com...c40b67081b927f3

"Wild new reality show ‘Labor of Love’ sees 15 men compete to have baby with stranger."

Hosted by SATC Kristin Davis. Yep, a new low even for America.

IMHO - Pornhub do it much better with no fake drama in under an hour ...

Maybe they could do a Southern version where suitors are judged by photos of their utes ("trucks") and caravans ("trailers")?
Men in a house go straight to round 2.
Men who OWN a house go straight to round 3.

Or maybe she could just go for 15 truck rides ...

Yikes! I think by the very act of applying to go on that show you are proving that you are not worthy of fathering a child!

Or being a mother.

TERRACE HOUSE cancelled after the suicide of a cast member due to online bullying she received after an altercation with a male cast member.

Finished season 3 of Westworld.

This show is trash. It's a beautiful show with great scenery and props but the writing and direction is shockingly bad. So many "why are they doing that, why are they saying this" moments.

Any of you industry buffs know if there's any inside info about Westworld? Is the director/showrunner some idiot who doesn't listen to criticism? It is the entire crew and acting roster just there for the paycheck?

It made by Jonathan Nolan (Christopher Nolan’s brother), and his wife, with JJ Abrams as another exec producer.

I think general consensus is that it’s been declining slightly over the seasons, but still considered good,

I have not watched s2 or 3, so I can’t weigh in.

[Aptorian]

Don't bother.

After S1 I was never all that bothered to move on, as S1 was good, but not remotely great.

[Malankazooie]

If you haven't watched it yet, right now would be an excellent time to binge Watchmen.

I thought S2 was a satisfying conclusion to S1, worth watching.
S3 was a bit of a mess... when it was good it was very good and otherwise it varied from meh to boring. Visually pretty great tho.

Just watched episode one this morning.

Uhhh, 1920s raceriot, modern day masked police authorized to use extreme methods Vs Rorschach Neo Nazi Ultra Nationalists.

Oh dear.

[Malankazooie]

Awwww yeah! tonight begins the Forged in Fire: Beat the Judges episodes of FiF! They've run some previews and damn it's weird to see David Baker in black-smith work attire and out of his bespoke personal fashion throwback coolness. I hope it's good and not crap. You know they have to play up someone getting brutal with J. Neilson's work. Want someone to give him the smirk and ask "are you ready"?

[Malankazooie]

This is coming in August and imma be all over it.

[Aptorian]

I should get around to reading that book.

[Malankazooie]

Something very important is airing tomorrow and you all should watch it.

[QuickTidal]

Not that I watch THE FLASH anymore, but Hartley Sawyer who played Ralph (Elongated Man) has been fired for some really bad tweets from around 2012.

[Tsundoku]

Aren't those who dredge up old tweets and are the loudest about cancel culture usually the same bunch or have a strong crossover with those who want us to give criminals a second (third, fourth ad infinitum) chance?

It's like you can be forgiven for violence (especially if you can sing, eh Chris Brown?), but heaven forbid you wrote some truly facepalm type shit on social media a decade ago before you grew up ...

Sometimes I truly wonder about people's priorities. I guess nothing feels as good as self-righteousness.

Yes I'm aware of the irony, thank you.

While these were some pretty bad tweets, and in some cases so dark that I wonder if Hartley has sociopathic tendencies (Like weirdly serial killerish, sexism and racism stuff)...I agree that disallowing him to have learned to be a better human in the last decade stinks of cancel culture, and I don't care for cancel culture at all.

The bigger atrocity and crimes against humanity is that shitty DC programming that airs on the CW channel. Why anyone would watch that garbage is beyond me.
