What are you streaming on Amazon, Netflix, etc?

Catching up on Succession.


Had to take a break from that tension, so I checked the first episode of Jared. Jay-suss.

 

It’s fucked

 

The Cable Guy

 

Seven Seconds, Netflix. 10 Episodes. Could have been done in less as parts were slow but keeps my attention.

 

John Wick 4. Idk didn't really hold my attention like the last few did

 

Severance

whackass as hell

 

The Stand(2020)

I feel as though 9 hours of my life were wasted on this, especially how it ended.

Spoiler

A ball of lightning descended into the casino, killing all the bad guys. It(the lightning) then detonated a nuclear bomb, destroying the city and all of Flagg's remaining followers. There was never any explanation as to what it was or why it happened.

 

Have you read the book?

 

I did. It was a lengthy one

 

Was the ending similar?

 

That is your opinion. It is wrong.

 

When I was in grade school.

I havent seen the new stand, but the old 1990's made-for-tv version did a better job of portraying that part. There is an explanation, and even in the book it always felt like one where King painted himself into a corner and needed a literal Deus Ex to wrap up the story.

 

Tex Mex Motors

 

No, although I do enjoy a good apocalyptic story. If they expected me to have read the novel to understand the ending then this was a poor adaptation.

The novel is considered to be one of his best ones. Not sure why if he couldn't stick the landing.

 

That is one crazy show so far

 

Movies are rarely as good as the books. The Stand is in a class by itself. Recommend reading the book before watching either version of the movie. I have the old movie version on VHS. Might be worth as much as I paid for it way back then.

In other news, finished all 5 seasons of Kim's Convenience. Pretty good sitcom.

 

I thoroughly enjoyed the 90's version. But haven't read the book or seen the newer one. Might have to check it out.

 

I would still recommend the book. It was one of his largest, and arguably one of his best. There are a few quirks to Kings writing that I don't like, but most of his classics are fun reads.

 

Strange New Worlds season 2 started on the 15th on Paramount.

 

Extraction 1 and the new one extraction 2 on Netflix
