That doesn't mean it's a good day to buy.

Every day is a good day to buy

Since we're talking B&C...

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is an absolutely fantastic movie. One of my favorite "modern" westerns too.

They leave so much out of the show that much of the story is lost. Plus, GRRM stopped writing the last books to consult on the show and that really pissed me off. The show took the books away from me and I cannot forgive that egregious slap in the face.

I completely agree about GRRM losing his priorities. I have zero confidence he will even finish the series now. Chaps my butt a lot.

 

[drvenner]

I know this is true because I saw a Brady Bunch episode about it. Good documentary.

Absolutely

They are all terrific. I am likely ready to read them all again. I read the first five many, many years ago and then stopped reading. I started over when the A Memory of Light came out. That has been a few years ago. I absolutely love Sanderson. I have read many of his books. I think he did an awesome job finishing the series.

I agree that Sanderson did a great job and I like his writing style. I especially like how he packed a lot into those last few books and moved the story along quickly after it had stalled a bit in the preceding books.

I loved Robert Jordan but he did tend to get carried away with descriptions. It made for great character and setting development but caused a couple of books where not a lot happened.

 

[drvenner]

?

I don't get it.

That is reason enough to hate the show. They destroyed a perfectly good series.

Books are for nerds.

Am nerd. Give books.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Well said and I agree partly about Mat. I just think Sanderson didn't really capture Mat's humor and it seemed forced. Overall, he did well and I'm appreciative to him for finishing such an epic series.

It is amazing how well GOT has nailed the characters. Nearly all are as I pictured them when reading the books.

IMO the hardest thing a WoT will have to do is get across both the difference, and symbiosis in Saidar and Saidin. It is an abstract concept, the books are in their head so you can imagine and visualize it better.

The GOT books were infinitely better than the show. The show sucks. @ me if you want but you will be wrong.

I could not agree more. I found the books to be very enthralling, yet beguiling.

 

[jakez4ut]

well, now I don't need to watch "First Man"

Spoiler

I already did. And it was fantastic.

did not like it.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Oh we're talking about books? I can't wait for the VN book club led by @bignewt !!!

 

[jakez4ut]

I don't care about that move, but I guess I have to see it before Avengers End Game

i took my kids to see it last friday. and that was my attitude toward seeing it.

came out pleasantly surprised. i was entertained. as to the thanos/infinity stone story line, not sure it matters all that much. you basically already know what you need to know w/out seeing the movie.

i just dont' think people should take these super hero movies so seriously.......lol.

the only one i've watched in recent memory that i just didn't like was IM 3 and Aquaman. and yet i was still moderately entertained with both. lol.

captain marvel was better than both of those fwiw........

Iron Man 3 is awful. On the same level as the hulk movies. it isn't worth watching. By far the worst of the Marvel movies and it isn't close imo

 

[jakez4ut]

never read the books so now i never have to worry about being disappointed there'll be no end. i get to wrap up my satisfaction w/GOT in less than a month.

 

[Rishvol]

I don't get it.

You gotta be a Master to understand
