Spider-Man had a character called Madam Web in in. Who could forget that?

Wasn't she voiced Stan Lee's wife in the 90s series?

Yes, Spider-Man supporting character Madam Web did indeed voice Stan Lee's wife for a short period in the nineties before handing the role over to Daphne from Scooby Doo.

He traded up then.

I'm currently being tempted by the fact the 1980's Miss Marple is on blu ray in America. The popular opinion seems to be it's better than the more recent one where she regenerates, takes over books Miss Marple wasn't in and is constantly fighting lesbian Nazi nuns and I like me some Christie but Marple is a character I've never really dived into.

I remember enjoying the '80s Marple on the Beeb. Joan Hickson is fantastic as Marple to the point I can't imagine anyone else in the role being anything but a pale imitation. Nice title sequence from what I recall too.

I remember it being better than it was when I tried re-watching one a few years back. Fantastic theme though.

I'm about 3/4 through the second season of Ultimate Spider-Man and I feel like there may be too many cutaway gags, kind of like Family Guy, also, they use monkey screeches pretty often whenever Spider-Man is surprised by something (usually a jump scare).

GoT:

SPOILER! (select to read)
So it's pretty much a given that Tommen's going to die, right? Today's episode has me wondering if (ARGH FAN THEORY/SPECULATION TIME) Cersei ends up killing him herself. Valonqar is High Valyrian for little brother, maybe Jaime kills her for killing Tommen. That'd be a handy way to open up the possibility of him becoming the "good guy" the show keeps hinting he has the potential to be.

Arya: irritates me. But I'm glad she finally killed that T-1000 and is going home, because I've not been a big fan of this entire Braavos thing.

Brienne, I love you. Don't go anywhere.

Hey, look! Dany's back at the pyramid. Allrighty then.

Srs no one talked about random TV that doesn't have its own thread for a week? Filthy casuals.

YAS. Good times, good times. RiP GoT budget

Shhhhhhiiit Yara and Theon must have gotten away with the speedboat portion the Iron Fleet.

Oh, 100 ships. Well, that's not far off from 1000. * >.> ; twiddles thumbs*

DRAGONS BE BURNIN' SHIT YEAAAAHH. But as much as I like to see things on fire- Curbing that firebug tendency, good job Tyrion/Dany.

Bye Rickon. I really don't give a shit that you're gone, but that's not your fault. I hope you got paid well for what basically amounted to a glorified extra's role, kid.

Holy shit, Sansa. She is one cold-ass mother****er.

I liked the timing on that bastard battle, I don't even care that it was predictable. Ramsay is my favourite villain right now. He was just a horrid, bad bad man.

Speaking of awful ****ers (albeit of a more... watered-down variety), Littlefinger's back. AND THE CROWD GOES MILD.

I miss the giant more than I miss Rickon.

Just got through watching The Loner a 60s Western created by Rod Serling (of The Twilight Zone) starring Lloyd Bridges on DVD, it's overall a pretty good show. It's worth a look for fans of those involved.

Still on the fence with Preacher. Third episode was ace, this weeks was a bit all over the place like the others have been. Just needs a bit more focus and to take its foot off the gas a little and just give the characters some room to develop. I've no idea what's going on with Tulip, her character is all over the place.

Finished the remainder of Ultimate Spider-Man S2 and now moving onto True Detective S1.

I've heard True Detective is brilliant. Though that was when season one had just finished and I haven't watched it myself so take that with a grain of salt.

I've been watching a lot of Pokemon lately. Which has been a lot of fun since I've come to accept Team Rocket's obnoxiousness and stopped letting them annoy me.

Tried to make a got post, but typing on my phone is not great, (HD is ****ed on computer). FRUSTRATION.

It was good, sad I have to wait so long for next one, and houndreadthelastdamnbookgoddamnyou.jpg

Much to my surprise, Netflix(at least in the U.S.) has gotten a whole slew of Detective Conan...... Er, Case Closed, that is - episodes from the last couple of years.

The first season is. The acting and directing really elevates the a great story. The second season isn't worth checking out. Luckily, they're both standalone!

That's what I've heard as well, which is why I'll be treating it as one and done show once I'm done with it.

Whoop! Finished up GoT Season 6 and after a few episodes where this felt like it didn't know where to go without the books to lean on, this had a really great last few episodes. I especially approve of Sansa toughening up. Hooray!

Preacher has started to pick up, now its spending some time to explain its set up and what's going on with the characters.

Post by **Sades** » Sun Jul 03, 2016 6:44 am

Yes, Sansa's gone from one of my least favourite characters to one of my favorites.
