The Trailer Park

They've lasted quite long already. But then they do seem to add more people all the time. And remove. And add, and remove...

Anyway, I just watched the Dark Tower. Thought it was quite OK, though some things just seemed a bit... little. Like WHY the skin-people were skin-people in the first place and what they really were... And if demons can break through into our world, why only one of them, total? I guess there just wasn't room for more. I don't think the movie was particularly long, after all... (maybe 90 mins?)

Now almost through the 1st (and only) season of The Order. Kinda funny and I suspect I'll "accidentally" stay up all night to see all episodes. It's yet another high school of magic sort of thing, but it's got a somewhat twisted sense of humor. And there are at least some adult characters, including the somewhat wacky grandpa of the main character (who was also wacky trigger-happy Taggart in Eureka).

Example:
Person 1: We have to kill them
Person 2: no! I have a plan!
Person 3: OK we'll go with the plan.
Person 1: When the plan fails and #2 is dead, then can we kill them?
Person 3 and 4: Deal! *glasses clinking*
Person 2: Wait, what? dead!?

I would certainly never binge watch my way through an entire season of something in one night. Nope, no sirree, certainly not

Val: you paint. And for all I know you work. And maybe you do household chores occasionally. I sleep. And watch Netflix.
(Today I actually contacted a gaming company just to let 'em know I exist, though...)

Banj: you're such a clever boy.

OK I am going to have to watch Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. I didn't even know they made it a TV series... (To be honest I wasn't overwhelmingly fond of the books, though - the Hitchhiker's Guide was more fun - but maybe the TV series will work better "for me")

And uhm... I probably shouldn't start watching tonight...
