THE WALKING DEAD---trailer released for the mid-season finale.

GAME OF THRONES---George RR Martin commented on the prequel series timeline, “‘10,000 years’ is mentioned in the novels. But you also have places where maesters say, ‘No, no, it wasn’t 10,000, it was 5,000.’ . . . So I think it’s closer to 5,000 years. Westeros is a very different place. There’s no King’s Landing. There’s no Iron Throne. There are no Targaryens — Valyria has hardly begun to rise yet with its dragons and the great empire that it built. We’re dealing with a different and older world and hopefully that will be part of the fun of the series. [Jane Goldman] is a tremendous talent.”
THE LOUDEST VOICE IN THE ROOM---photo shows Russell Crowe as Roger Ailes, founder of Fox News, from the Showtime miniseries.
STAN LEE---Stan Lee's POP! Entertainment released an open letter response to Bill Maher's blog post which criticized US adults for taking comic books too seriously which results in the infantilization of modern pop culture.
“Mr. Maher: Comic books, like all literature, are storytelling devices. When written well by great creators such as Stan Lee, they make us feel, make us think and teach us lessons that hopefully make us better human beings. One lesson Stan taught so many of us was tolerance and respect, and thanks to that message, we are grateful that we can say you have a right to your opinion that comics are childish and unsophisticated. Many said the same about Dickens, Steinbeck, Melville and even Shakespeare.
But to say that Stan merely inspired people to ‘watch a movie’ is in our opinion frankly disgusting. Countless people can attest to how Stan inspired them to read, taught them that the world is not made up of absolutes, that heroes can have flaws and even villains can show humanity within their souls. He gave us the X-Men, Black Panther, Spider-Man and many other heroes and stories that offered hope to those who felt different and bullied while inspiring countless to be creative and dream of great things to come.”
HALLOWEEN---an early draft for the recent sequel had Michael Myers killing Laurie Strode.
BODYGUARD---Richard Madden said he and creator Jed Mercurio will be discussing a possible sequel to the BBC/Netflix miniseries, “I’m having a conversation with [creator Jed Mercurio] in about ten days or something, when I’m back in the country, and we are just going to chat through some ideas. We never intended to make another one and I don’t know, I’m excited to see what he’s got..."
THE PROGENY---CW tv series underway based on the novel about an amnesiac woman discovers she is a descendant of Elizabeth Bathory, one of history's greatest mass murders.
MR. MERCEDES---AT&T Audience Network renewed the series for Season 3.
GATZ---Youtube Premium tv series which is a reimagined prequel to THE GREAT GATSBY where Jay Gatsby is mixed-race during the Harlem Renaissance.
TRIVIA---composer Lalo Schifrin was awarded an honorary Academy Award after receiving six Oscar nominations. His scores include DIRTY HARRY, BULLITT and MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. He also scored ABOMINABLE, a 2006 monster movie directed by his son, Ryan.

Joan Hue: Bruce, instead of writing 4 different posts, why not combine all of your issues into ONE singular post?
Joan, I don't think any of these Game of Thrones spinoffs is going to cut the mustard. Especially considering that Thrones itself has conceptually slipped since the first two seasons.
That's what happens when the novel author holds out on the TV show writers.

Because some folks here want every cue seperate.
No crossfaded or combined tracks (e.g. Shaun Rutherford)

Cute, Justin.
BornOfAJackal, I think you are probably going to be correct about the Game Of Thrones' spinoffs.
I can hope but I also have to be realistic.
The best thing that ever happened to GOT was the writers going off on their own. No disrespect to GrrM.

Because Bruce can only search Google for what he "thinks" one thought at a time.
Just what are you suggesting?

I used to agree with his views and found his brand of humor pretty funny. But he's become the in the bubble, privileged one percent, get off my lawn, grumpy old fart who runs off his mouth without any logic, knowledge or reason.
To his credit, Maher has not been a complete tool. He has always lambasted political correctness and the humorless, easily-offended, Red Guard millennials who use it to strike down all who dare oppose them, even so-called "allies."
...but that's collectivism for you. 
.....as opposed to Nationsl Socialism?
