Looking forward to the spinoff, Lazy Devs, about a group of developers who release videogames with bugs just because they can.

Shogun is one of my favourite books ever. James Clavell's Asian saga is soooooo good. I'm super excited for this adaptation.

How good is whirlwind? It seems really interesting and I LOVE Shogun, but at the whopping length it's always good to get impressions first lol

Edit: well fuck me some jackass bought the rights and pulled the ebook

Who does that in 2018?

Also in the Article sounds like they are also picking up the TV series spinoff of what we do in the shadows, which is awesome news also worthy of mentioning.
This was ordered to series a couple months ago.

Are we still worried about Disney and FX? The shogun series will be awesome
Who was worried? It never made any business sense for them to buy FX and then meddle with it. Disney has no need to change it when they already have other demographics covered by other channels. It's neither made redundant by other Disney channels, nor does Disney need more space on cable for family/kids programming.

TLS is a basically poor man's Shogun
The Last Samurai is also a poor man's Glory. Zwick copied scenes from his own previous and superior film!

Whirlwind is my least favourite of the saga, not sure if I was just burnt out at that point, or if it's because it's the only one set in the modern era, or the depressing premise, but either way it's still written in his usual style, full of hundreds of characters, dozens of plotlines, doing epic Machiavellian shit long before George RR Martin and Game of Thrones.

That's weird about the ebook. I read these books long before the Kindle even existed, lol. But having a quick look at Amazon UK, I can see them all available on Kindle! I wanna re-read them, but I'm knee deep in the Malazan series and I don't read more than one fiction book at a time or I get completely lost...

I thought they were talking about airing Wellington Paranormal in the US, but it seems to be a new, US-based spinoff of WWDITS

FX has been pretty solid for me lately so I'll give all of these a go.

Yeah US here and the ebook has been pulled everywhere =\

It's the most interesting one to me as I really enjoy reading the history of that part of the world anyways. Guess I'll just buy it physical, but man the idea of lugging around 1300 page book everywhere doesn't really sing out to me xD

Shogun is incredible and the classic series is amazing.
Hopefully this new version will go past the story in the books as I felt it ended just as it got incredibly amazing
Viewers better be ready for some gruesome scenes though
Also Toranaga is simply the best

What we do in the shadows was easily one of my favorite movies from that year. Hope it turns out well.
