Since Sports Are Now On - What Are You Watching?

Absolutely. Loved the character relationships for the most part and Ben Mendelsohn is really terrific, speech impediment and all. In typical, almost cliche Stephen King fashion the characters are full and compelling and the setup is tremendous and then the resolution is ultimately a little unworthy of how well things were executed prior to that... but it still makes for an overall worthwhile experience.

I think they're planning on doing another season carrying on with the Holly Gibney character since she's a recurring character in multiple novels, but I also understand that she's been altered from her personality in the books, but I can't claim to know too much about that. Maybe I'll pick up one of them for the plane.

Just wait until you have kids.  My son complains when we make him watch a movie with us (and he always ends up loving the movies by the way), yet he'd watch DuckTales for 312 consecutive hours if you let him.  

Yeah it's pretty fun.  Anyway I always give him a hard time about it, but I get it.  A children's cartoon is a self-contained story directed at a kid's attention span and it's only like 22 minutes of content.  A movie, even a Marvel movie which is virtually an action comedy, is going to feature scenes with a lot of dialog/exposition without much going on (at least from a 6 year old's perspective) and the story takes a couple hours to finish. 
22 minutes and 120 minutes is a big difference.  A great example is the Addams Family.  We've watched the movies once each, he's probably seen every episode of the original show 10 times.    

Kids just want to watch the same stuff over and over again, you basically have to force them to watch something else (which they of course will love, and want to watch that over and over again).  He had a handful of movies he was fixated on when he was younger, now he at least has a bunch of titles to choose from.  He's still watch the same flick over and over again if you let him, but again just keep showing him new kids movies and he'll fixate on the newer thing instead.  We had to cut off Home Alone 1 & 2 sometime in mid-January, he wanted to watch them every day after school.  Then he became obsessed with the Sonic the Hedgehog movie.

(As I say all this I feel it necessary to point out we don't let him watch a ton of tv.  It's a couple hours on the weekends, and maybe an hour or so after school, unless he wants to watch a specific movie.  Weekday mornings are strictly PBS kids before school.)              

It looks bollocks... A heist movie, with zombies.
