Mr. Mercedes
« on: August 30, 2017, 03:10:27 PM »
Started watching Mr. Mercedes today. 

It's a little choppy but so far appears to be a pretty decent, well-acted adaptation of a mediocre Stephen King book.  It's got some gravitas.  David E. Kelley for one.  He's got LA Law, Picket Fences, Ally McBeal, The Practice and Boston Legal on his resume.  All good character-driven ensembles with decent dialogue.  It stars Brendan Gleeson, who is one of my favorite actors.  Outstanding in a vastly overlooked film In Bruges

So far it's fitting the standard King pattern.  The less consequential his book is, the better the movie seems to be.  Conversely, the better the book the worse the movie. 

The Stand is a fantastic book. Both movie adaptations have been lukewarm at best. 
The Green Mile was a meh book.  Shawshank was a meh short story.  Both were much better movies.
Mr. Mercedes wasn't a great book.  Not in his top ten.  But through two and a half episodes, the series has weight.  Hope it hangs in.

I'm recording it off DirecTV.  It's on the Audience Network.

I love that show. Funny shit right there. Been catching up. Bizarre, but I think the kid that jerks off over his mother is screwed mentally. I've only watched three episodes, but I'm recording the series.

FWIW, I find Mary-Louise Parker sexy in a way I can't even begin to explain.  Sort of like Annabeth Gish. 

There's something about both of them that moves me in a way other allegedly "hot" women don't.  Neither are what you'd call classically attractive, but I like them both.  Parker is in this series.

I concur. I just wished my girlfriend would jack me off when I get a headache.

So you'd say they are "jerk off all over your mom" sexy?

I get what you're saying about Gish...but Parker is flat-out hot.

Big, dewy eyes...tight, milfy body...shit, son, she's a smoke-show.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
