I’ve been reading comic books since I was a kid, and I’ve had my own Marvel Universe obsessions for years. So I don’t really have a problem with the whole superhero thing right now, except I wish I didn’t have to wait until my 50s for this to be the dominant genre. Back in the ’80s, when movies sucked — I saw more movies then than I’d ever seen in my life, and the Hollywood bottom-line product was the worst it had been since the ’50s — that would have been a great time.

I tried to watch the first episode of season one, and I didn’t get into it at all. I thought it was really boring. And season two looks awful. Just the trailer — all these handsome actors trying to not be handsome and walking around looking like the weight of the world is on their shoulders. It’s so serious, and they’re so tortured, trying to look miserable with their mustaches and grungy clothes. Now, the HBO show I loved was Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom. That was the only show that I literally watched three times. I would watch it at seven o’clock on Sunday, when the new one would come on. Then after it was over, I’d watch it all over again. Then I would usually end up watching it once during the week, just so I could listen to the dialogue one more time.

First PTA, and now QT. :-)

Also can't believe shit like True Detective gets views, but not Hannibal. :/

I wonder which character would fit Tarantino. I think Deadpool would be a nice fit, but I'm not sure.

@yonny616 Nah. Heroes For Hire would be PERFECT for Tarantino.

Is TD really that bad? I've only seen the trailers and some footage from the first one's season. It was just a mess that tried too hard to be "cool", in my opinion. Couldn't care about it any less.

@RamboOnRedBull All I know is that the second season is getting pretty mixed reviews. Also I don't like how they change the cast and crew for each season. That's stupid. People are only watching it now because of the brand name that hasn't even proven itself.

Yeah, I noticed the hate for Season 2. It seems to be going downhill.

@RamboOnRedBull And each season is pretty small too. 8 episodes per season.
