Adam West, the original Batman, actually did this with his phone number… Published in the local phone book where he lived
That reminds me I’m due to rewatch Shakes The Clown soon
“The Citizen Kane of alcoholic clown movies” Best review ever?
Quite a cast too:
Bobcat
Julie Brown
Adam Sandler
Kathy Griffin
Robin Williams
Florence Henderson
and Tim Kazurinsky, speaking of SNL…
I looked up if the Quireboys were real because it sounded like it was corny and made for the show. Nope they’re real, and if you ask me their original name was more fitting 
Weed the People on Netflix.
Watched ‘Attica’, pretty heavy. Interesting look at this prison uprising. Watched it twice, once for content, and one for details.
Anyone else watching From what the hell?! That last episode went nuts!
I’m waiting for it to fully air, then will episode a day like I’m doing with Raised by Wolves.
Aka: “Ridley Scott’s: What If Robots in South Africa?”
That’s some patience there. I’ve done that a few times in the past but I’m too impatient these days. Waiting a week for a show seems so foreign in the internet age though!
I do the same thing, mostly so I don’t get caught by another Firefly or Dirk Gently. Or Game of Thrones… I still haven’t watched the series because I’m waiting for George R.R. Martin to finish book 6. When he does, I’ll finish reading them and find out what happened to the characters I cared enough to start reading about, whom he then abandoned because the money was better elsewhere.
Insider tip: DON’T WATCH THIS.
It’s the high-fantasy disappointment version of LOST.
I don’t like fantasy/quest stuff like GoT but I really liked the show up until they phoned in the ending. My ex was obsessed with both the show and the books and supposedly they’re different enough that it doesn’t even matter. What are you going to do when Martin strokes out before finishing?
I’m never going to watch the show, and I’m going to leave the books buried in my library behind a grow tent - Martin has already announced that fans of the books are SOL, he’s not writing anymore because he “feels he can’t write the story now that the ending has already been written” or some BS. In other words, he sold out and now doesn’t feel like he’s a real artist anymore, boohoo. He can cry himself to sleep on his piles of money, and I’ll consign him to hell along with the likes of Celebrity Sellouts | Famous People Who Sold Out for Fame. He would be on this list, but he’s too pathetic and unknown to even be a good sellout, since nobody knows who the hell he is after he sold his story to HBO. 
So yeah, when he strokes out before finishing, I will continue to think he’s worthless and not want to read anything he has to write anymore even if he does finish it now, which he won’t.
I didn’t know he decided not to write them anymore. That’s a real slap in the face to the readers right there so in a way it’s very similar to how the show ended anyway!
For what it’s worth I vote you still just binge the show eventually, even if you have to sell it to yourself as just seeing how badly they did with it or whatever. I would wager you’d end up enjoying it.
I been watching it…
I did try watching it at one point, actually… it was just overdone, badly enough that I wasn’t interested, though as you say, different from the books. Not surprising, considering that the books were ~5-6k pages just for the first few that he bothered to write and it’s tough to cram that much plot into TV shows. Then HBO came in, offered him bags of money for the concept, and started off by taking some minor advice from him on the show before completely sidelining him. Serves him right. He apparently thought he could just sell his idea to a major multinational corporation and they’d be nice guys and let him keep control of it while doing him the favor of getting him a bigger audience. 
This kind of naivete, from the writer who brought us the Red Wedding… wtf?
Did you see the last episode? They really packed it in there! The wires, the dude’s vision at the tree, what the priest is up to. I might even be forgetting something else but it was like every 5 minutes I was saying WTF?
Shit’s getting good!
Edit- Oh yeah duh! The thing the wife found when they dropped off the storage stuff!!! How could I forget the biggest one!
Yeah definitely either very naive or willing to fain naivety to line his pockets. That Red Wedding episode was a motherfucker though! I remember watching and just being open mouthed with my hands on top of my head like what the fuck just happened?!
