I absolutely loved it. I’ve never seen a film have an impact on my daughter the way that it did. I imagine it’s going to be a very powerful and emotional movie for a lot of women around the world.

Saw it over the weekend and I enjoyed it as well. Outside of it literally taking place in the 90s, I thought it was very much a 90s throw back action movie (I had similar thoughts about Venom) in all the best ways.
I'm also a big fan of cats and I was really happy to see a cat steal the movie as well. Dogs get everything most of the time.

^Spoiler alert*
I watched the whole thing with my Uncle and told him about half way through that Lorne Malvo was the devil. He’s not as sold on that as I am. I’ve seen a few pieces online supporting that. What’s your take?
Season two is better. You're in for a treat. Season two is in my top three TV seasons all time.
I thought season 3 was pretty bad and I love Carrie Coon just thought the plot was stupid/boring.
And I think Lester was way more of a Satan-like chararacter. Such a POS.

This has always included "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes. Which I never understood as a song or a feeling (assuming most know that Clapton was in love with George Harrison's wife, and George was one of his best friends and wrote the album to her), I was always more of a "Wah-Wah" (dope song) guy and fully on George's side.
But I understand that song now due to my friend's ex wife's nonsense/increasingly growing flirtation and it's incredible. It all makes sense to me now and I've been playing it at least once a day for the past few weeks. Pray for me RealGM.

Occasionally he nails it with a short story but even that is rare (his short stories are excellent otherwise). ADOS probably would end with the war still raging and Jon as Azor Ahai clashing swords with the Night King if it wasn't a dream of a book. That's as Martin-esque as it gets, trust me, and I have to assume DB/DB won't do that.
I have only read Fevre Dream, of his non-ASOIAF works, and I really enjoyed it and was satisfied by the ending.
Here's a quote from a recent interview with GRRM that jives with what you and Ed Pinkney have said:”I’m working on it, I try not to look at the big picture, ever..because then it becomes incredibly intimidating. I try to say, ‘I’ll pick it up today; I’m gonna write a couple of pages, let’s see, one page at a time, one sentence at a time, one..... word at a time, if you look at... oh god, I have thousands of pages left to write and they have to be great or everyone will be mad at me, ummm... then it becomes very intimidating”
”at one time I was having a huge pressure on myself to keep ahead of the show, and uh... I failed...when I recognized that I had lost that battle, um... (fiddles with hands, lost for words for a few seconds) I don’t know, heh heh....”

His best work after ASOIAF is a short novella called Sandkings which won a nebula. The story is epic and the ending is pretty awesome.
Right now I’m reading “The Three Body Problem” based on Obama’s recommendation and it is one of best Sci-Fi books I’ve read in a long time, excepting Seveneves by Neil Stephenson which was excellent.

I'd put some of his other short sci-fi pieces over it but Sandkings is fantastic.
I'll have to check out "The Three Body Problem". I probably owe Stephenson another shot as well (hated Snowcrash but that's all I've read by him).
