    Court ruling effectively outlaws Islamic schools in India’s most populous state

    To be fair religious education has no place in a secular democracy, but when one blatantly moves against it for ulterior/malign motives while harbouring intents to start their own, ugh. As a first time voter my choices are dogshit horseshit bullshit and no shit.

    but the story ends largely the same, certainly not enough to be its own “new canon”. 

    But a lot of the character motivations and plot points that lead up to further events in the books are either changed or missing here.

    I think this a rare example of an adaptation making good changes from the source material

    I'd agree if the deviations lead to something new with conviction and not contrivance. Only time will tell.

  3. Deadwood The Movie just done

    Spoiler

    Ou Father which art in heaven-

    Let him fucking stay there

    Dies gloriously he does Al fucking Swearengen

    @polishgenius I'll settle for a 3 way tie with The Wire and Twin Peaks. 

    It wouldn't have been a contest at all in the first place if the cocksuckers hadn't cancelled it. Pardon my french (proceeds to "Oh, I speak French"), lingering vestiges of a sumptuous sojourn at the frontier.

  4. The film was mighty fine but felt cold for a desert movie, needed to breathe more life. 

    And Feyd Rautha Butler wasn't worth shit neither in the books nor in his expanded role in the films. Milking known faces for all they're worth is alright but if it was someone like Bill Skarsgard with real menace in the eyes, that'd have been something. Plus it's his daddy as the uncle so resemblance and shit. 

    Stellan would have made a perfect Judge Holden if only someone had the coconuts to adapt Blood Meridian sooner.

    Ferrari’s race pace and reliability looked pretty solid today, and they have two very good qualifying drivers.

    I hope this series stops at God emperor or thereabouts.

    Watched 2.

    Rephrasing, let's stop here. The excessive deviation from the books leaves no other outcome since character motivations are too different or unexplained now. Other than maybe taking it forward another way.
