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.

The only realistic depiction of Superman is Homelander and probably OmniMan too

Looks like they might actually make it. Insane.
ETA: Phew

277. Madness. And the chasers giving it a shot really. The things I stumble upon the news really

Ludlum's Rhinemann Exchange, not his best but still a classic

Fairs, these changes better for the sport in the long run one hopes

But Max just confirmed he's staying out his contract, 2028 then right?

I don't enjoy T20 anymore (IPL17 is off to a meh start, 4 overs in) and I enjoy longer formats more, not that I have the time for either.

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

I say it time and again, nothing quite like Blood Meridian to disappoint an interested filmmaker looking to try and do justice.

If they go with their own new canon, I'm out.

Deadwood The Movie just done
SpoilerOu 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.

KOTFM will go the Irishman way sadly, 10 noms 0 wins. Hoping otherwise

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.

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.

IMAX tmrw. The original sequel books were inconsistent but still good overall. Then came the son's climax, ugh. I hope this series stops at God emperor or thereabouts.

Ugh. Just when I think I'm out they drag me back in
Beat me to it.
I sincerely hope they acknowledge and learn from their shortcomings, but it sold as it was, so not much hopes rested.
Will wait out the next season completely before deciding to plunge or not.
