All Things:SHOWTIME

Taped Roadies to watch, but only caught the first 10 minutes. You might was to mute the first few minutes if there are any kids around.
 
Since I finished Penny Dreadful, finally. I can now go back and read the spoiler posts!

Expect a summary from me about the series later. I loved the show and the Victorian Age was SO interesting, surprisingly so, despite what my beloved Virginia Woolf and her cohorts said, um, they were just hating on their parent's generation as young people tend to do.

But, no, the Victorians weren't all dark and prudes, lol.
 
I read your peeps posts, haha. So much fun! :D

**Spoilers**

This is how I would've ended the series, lol. I am a pretentious English Major. So there's that. :P

The whole series was based on the premise that characters from the same era, that is, Victorian literature, just happen to come across each other. Frankenstein? Dorian Gray? Dracula, lol. Didn't happen when these books were written. And then we have the Universal Werewolf
reference, Talbot, which is early American film, like 1940 American film, but still tapping into the Victorian Horror?

So I would've just done, that someone, say a young girl was thinking about this, like a really creative college student, tried to write fan fiction of the era, and placed herself as one Vanessa Ives, because it would be a character where the rest of these Victorian characters could revolve around.

And then have her died, well because that's what's expected. I am reminded of Gail Simone's Women in Freezer's concept. Women have to die to tell a man's story.

And then it just ends, that way, her existence brought all these character's together, but then what next?

*sorry* I have to work on something else, so it ends here, I mean finals, and exams.

And that's what Penny Dreadful is, the best example of Fan Fiction, but, ultimate, just that. Doesn't solve questions, just gives you what you lit nerds wanted to see, lol. Someone like Victor & Henry being friends, haha.

So just a lit nerd's story. That's what the story is about. What if these characters, from these books I am reading, would come across..
 
Oh, yeah, my favorite Penny Dreadful from the third season was "A Blade of Grass."

Eva Green is so awesome! That ep was like a two person play. So intense!! Love it!

Eva Green has sorta been typecasted 'cause she plays similar characters, but still, that woman was born to play tortured women from, say, the Elizabeth Barrett Browning era.

An eulogy to Penny Dreadful...

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?

--Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Penny Dreadful -- 2016 RIP
 
Ugh! I must've been drunk outta my mind, lol. I just noticed three posts about Penny Dreadful that I posted in this thread that I can't quite remember posting. :fpalm:

I am afraid of reading them, lol. A quick scan and I noticed I made a reference to Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Haha. Once I am making reference to writers I wrote about in school, I am drunker than usual. :manybeers:

Anyways...

Anyway, it?s official: David Lynch prefers Pearl Jam to Soundgarden. I?m glad that decades old argument was finally settled.

Yeah, but Alice in Chains is better than both. evil:

I am still pensive about that upcoming Twin Peaks series and wondering if it could work given today's climate and not just on a nostalgic sakes level. Still, I am just one more Twin Peaks announcement from going FULL Twin Peaks, dusting off my DVDs, and going on a full binge. And I might finally read this which I have owned forever, haha.

And I still enjoy some Damn Good Coffee. :cafe:

I actually wasn't old enough to enjoy this the first time around. I got into all things David Lynch after watching Mullholand Dr. and thinking it was one of the greatest things that I have ever seen and going back and visiting anything Lynch I hadn't seen.
