[American Gods] Hokay, seems to watch it in the US, you have to have a Starz subscription, but being the cheapskate that I am, I'm not up for that...
KrisKrampus
But!
KrisKrampus
Amazon.co.uk: Low Prices in Electronics, Books, Sports Equipment ... address + VPN plug in on Chrome....
KrisKrampus
I'm in!
KrisKrampus
I also have non-alcohol champagne. The show alone is a cause for celebration, since I have wanted a film version in some format of this book since I started reading it.
KrisKrampus
Oooh... Loving the opening title sequence: trippy as hell
KrisKrampus
ooooh.... Hello.... They're including the side-stories. YES!
KrisKrampus
One of the many things I liked about the book, was all the side-stories with the different people coming to America with their gods and other entities.
KrisKrampus
Definitely has the Bryan Fuller look to it. Muted pallet and and then some touches of color.
KrisKrampus
Also the way things are framed, in that... artistic, almost painterly look.
KrisKrampus
Definitely brought in that surreal, slightly out of kilter look that he honed on Hannibal.
KrisKrampus
And the dark ambient score sounds a lot like the music from Hannibal, so I'm wondering if this is the same composer.
𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐀𝐑𝐃!!!!!
Hannibal music tho:
softcore assassin sexytimes
KrisKrampus
:: laughs :: There is that.
KrisKrampus
Aaaand, there's Wednesday.
KrisKrampus
Oh man, I had a good feeling about Ian McShane as Wednesday, but now I really feel good.
KrisKrampus
If there's anyone who plays likable Magnificent Bastards, it's him.
KrisKrampus
Oh boy, here we go... ramping up to That Scene, though the actress cast as Bilquis is gorgeous.
KrisKrampus
I'm a bit disappointed that her date is just a regular Joe, rather than a skeevy exec.
KrisKrampus
Yes! they're using Iko Iko in the source music....
KrisKrampus
Okay, I like that song, so sue me.
KrisKrampus
And there's Mad Sweeney. Greetings, boyo!
KrisKrampus
Aw, they didn't use the pickle juice line... then again, someone dinged GNeil for having Shadow make that comparison.
KrisKrampus
"You must have a bad opinion of mead HDU!" - "Child, opinions of the characters are not the opinions of the author. Please learn to fiction."
KrisKrampus
Nice hat, Wednesday!
KrisKrampus
And the coffin sticks on the way into the grave. :: laughs :: Jacquel would be shaking his head and sighing.
KrisKrampus
Sorry, gallows humor tickles me more than it should.
KrisKrampus
Awww... there's something oddly sweet about Shadow hugging Audrey, even if she's a beeyatch. They made her a little less of a one-note pain in the neck.
KrisKrampus
Yaaaah! What is that thing?
KrisKrampus
Okay.... Okaayyyyy, I like!
KrisKrampus
Okay, I was mostly sold on Technical Boy's look being revamped, but now I'm completely sold.
KrisKrampus
Also, they're introducing TechBoy a bit earlier than in the book, if I'm remembering rightly.
KrisKrampus
!!!!!!
KrisKrampus
Okay, I love this.
KrisKrampus
Can't wait for next week's ep already, I am so stoked by this!
KrisKrampus
And disconnected from the VPN, so I don't use all my data...
KrisKrampus
I may have to keep bouncing the link-up around from week to week, but I feel really accomplished, pulling that off.
KrisKrampus
And this will probably reawaken my Jacquel muse...
KrisKrampus
I've had an Easter peek into headspace as well...
KrisKrampus
I did this... Which God Do You Worship quiz on the AG Facebook page, and not surprisingly....
KrisKrampus
I got Easter.
KrisKrampus
Makes sense, ne? Mostly good little Catholic girl, me. :: laughs ::
