Really excellent, gives some great insight into the creation behind the likes of Superman, Batman, Spidey and Wonder Woman, including the shocking news that Superman creators were both on the poverty line when the original Superman movie was released!

Also enjoying Robert Redford's The West. Up to episode four now I think.

And Bill Finger, co-creator of Batman, had to wait decades just to get his name next to glory hound Bob Kane cause **** the world. And Jack Kirby's massive contribution to the creation of Spider-Man get's an "I'm willing to say that he co-created Spider-Man" from Stan Lee. Comic creators have been getting the absolute shaft for decades. Will have to watch that.

Watched Hated in the Nation again lst night. It gets creepier with each successive viewing. Garrett Scholes is easily one of the most evil bad guys ever.

I mean 387,039 murders!!!

Started the US House of Cards last night; completely hooked now. :thumb: Got a lot of parallels to the UK version but they've managed to make it interesting enough not to be just a copy. Spacey is impressing me, though I have to say Kate Mara, despite being a babe, is not pushing any acting or character buttons for me at the moment. Something of a two-dimensional character so far. Robin Wright as his wife is far better; cold and evil with a winning smile.

Are you going from the old classic Who or from the Chris Eccleston "rebirth" era?

They even had to go to court in the 70s just to get $20,000 annually from DC, which is something that basically never happens to anyone who didn't create Superman.

So you're going from the very beginning, the William Hartnell black-and-white era? You do realise that's going to take probably months, even if you binge-watch? Quite an undertaking. Be prepared for some really hokey monsters and bad sets, often really bad writing but some actors who became giants.

The Odin reveal in episode 8 of American gods was the cringe-worthiest **** I've seen in quite some time.
The show is kinda fun but I am asking myself whether I'm interested in watching a show aimed at retards.
