Then they go on and on about how there's a wide world out there and it's the summer! Just go out and have some fun!
They don't say this where I live. Where I live, the news tells people not to go out due to allergens that are so bad that folks who have never been diagnosed with seasonal allergies collapse in unconscious, mucus-leaking heaps.
Fuck you, southwestern Ohio.
True story guys. SW Ohio is balls.
My bank changed their post and processing times without notice. This makes me angry since money usually available Friday afternoon won't be available until Saturday. Sonuvabitch.
Avoiding the obvious sex joke, here is something for those who really love their cats:

Okay after trying for a little while this evening I couldn't get all the mods to work together. It might be conflict with some of the other stuff I have running. Hope to do more this weekend and maybe get some screen caps to post. Unless I get Stellaris. Then FO will get forgotten...

I'll be trying this out this week if anyone wants to know how it goes.
@Arkandel
Nothing definitive on Bahari's departure. It sounds like she wasn't wanting to go past the end of the last season.
I liked the Rat Pack version too. I also did enjoy the Clooney one. I think that in both cases it was the casting that made the movie more than the narrative itself. The characters were just a joy to watch. I do agree with you, think an all female version will have to be done the same way to be successful.
When I worked at Radioshack as an employee and a manager, I thought it was really awkward when a customer would call me my name out of the blue. Sometimes I suspect they did it because it caused a pause in the conversation - especially if I was answering their questions about a product - and wanted to stop the close.
But I think the most discomforting thing would be the regulars who'd come in and walk up and go 'Hey x, blah blah blah blah," like we are the best of buddies and them using my first name makes me want to help them with more enthusiasm than - you are my customer, here's your shit, now get out. With a smile.
On the other hand I do a lot of phone work now and I don't mind my name being used so much because I will use someone's name to the point of uncomfortability, interjecting it at every opportunity. Because I can.
It's odd. Late yesterday there were articles saying Limitless was cancelled and being shopped by CBS to Netflix or Hulu or Amazon. Then there's some dated today that say an article press release says that CBS is still uncertain what it's doing.
I'm wondering if this confusion has to do with the fact that the show had a strong early season open until the awards shows hit and CBS co-opted its entire timeslot along with both NCIS shows for 5 weeks for that. And on return the ratings dipped dramatically when they lost people as its lead in for NCIS with the announcement of Michael Weatherly leaving that show.
Then there's the issue that the show made Bradley Cooper something of a minor necessity and his own schedule with movies, especially his Marvel schedule, making it difficult to keep making show appearances where Limitless is filmed.
I like the show. It's a beautiful disaster in storytelling. I hope it finds a home on Netflix.
Sadly I thought BMvsSupes was a train wreck of a movie. It was like they tried to squish 5 movies into one telling. DC will have to set a different tone from Marvel and not try to play catch-up in two films.
In other news, Idris Elba as Roland the Gunslinger for the upcoming Dark Tower trilogy? I can get behind this. I think he's a fantastic actor and I've enjoyed a majority of what he's been in.
In other other news, I think an all female cast remake of Ocean's 11 could hold much more potential, and go over better than the all-female cast remake of Ghostbusters. Casting and treatment of the source material will be key.
I'll just throw this here. Skype Customer service is filled with unhelpful bitches. Fuck them all.
Something in the Verse I think whole-heartedly yes. But an actual return of Firefly? I think you're right, something different is the way to go.
So what would something different be to you? Or anyone else who wants to weigh in.
@Lithium From what I understand is they filmed two episodes for the end of the current season. One if they got cancelled and one if they continued without the cast who was lost due to budget cuts. It is a shame that the cancellation was announced with that one episode left in the season. They should have given them at least another quarter season to wrap things up. I think that would have been a better decision but who knows the minds of network execs.
@tragedyjones Stranger things have happened, Firefly could return. But given what happened in Serenity, should it?
I really did enjoy the season 2 opening song. It was witty and ear wormy.
@Gingerlily said in Good TV:
@Gingerlily I read -- man, it's hard to remember now. At least four or five of them. There's so many now, and yeah, they're so long. I think it's the last one or two that I haven't read. The show's a delight, though.
In way sadder news, Agent Carter got cancelled and I am heartbroken FOREVER.
So did Galavant.
I don't know what either Agent Carter or Galavant are but if one of your shows got cancelled @Coin it seems like you should try a new one! Maybe...Outlander!
Galavant was a medival comedy musical that you would probably love if you weren't obstinate and tried things I suggest.
Galavant was different and fun. It was a sincerely great show that no one watched because it was different. And holy crap can Timothy Omundson sing.
@Jaded
At least it's good news. A little sad though, it'll lose some budget...
Some budget and a possible cast change. I read a couple days ago that Flockhart didn't want to go to Canada for filming and I believe most of the CW shows are filmed in Vancouver? So what Supergirl looks like going into Season 2 is up in the air.
Finally news on Supergirl:
http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/supergirl-the-cw-season-2-1201773032/
In non-superhero related movies. I finally got to see 10 Cloverfield Lane and I was impressed by it more than I thought I would be.
