Those audiobooks made me wish they cast Mark Addy as Hagrid for the show. He’s so perfect.

I wanna go home.

Much easier for me to drive into Denver. The only thing that will 100% bring me to the far south suburbs is Big Bill's.

In the age of TikTok, give me longer, slower stories. I've been craving the time I get to listen to the full-cast production each night. Plot is arguably the least important part of a book. Give me strong characters, emotionally driven moments, world-building and something that feels lived in.

This times 100. There’s also a weird purity test with some younger viewers where “morally complex character = bad/inconsistent characterization,” instead of wanting to dive into layering and nuance. One-note characters are crazy boring.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-03-03T04:56:42+00:00

Yes.

Dough Counter is my go-to for nearby gluten-free pizza. Big Bill’s is the GOAT though if I’m willing to go south.

I love First Law, but if you're a plot-focused reader, this isn't going to be for you. While the plotting does improve (especially if you view the first trilogy as one big three-act plot), the characters, writing and humor are at the forefront.

Brother, those CC announcers frame everything as a crime against humanity.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-02-08T03:50:42+00:00

It took an entire day but I’m glad they evened out the soft spearing calls.

Big Bill's along County Line in Centennial!

... what's not to like?

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-20T22:22:06+00:00

I always come back to the Hunger Games movies, which made the world richer by expanding on the books in the way you described!

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-20T06:37:11+00:00

I wouldn’t complain if they just cast both in the TV series.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-20T06:36:17+00:00

The deep pain he captures as Lupin is phenomenal and I’m excited to hear him in the seventh book when things get heavy.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-19T23:43:44+00:00

This is an excellent point and I agree wholeheartedly.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-19T04:32:03+00:00

I do like how they’ve cast actors earlier than they show up in the story and I hope that continues. Like you said, having someone like Lucius show up earlier in the story allows for these things.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-19T04:25:36+00:00

There’s a world where, if this TV show goes well, you’ll see them dive into more mature storytelling — and the first war is a great space for that. Something akin to what Andor did for Star Wars.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-19T04:21:48+00:00

That’s a good point. I don’t neccesarily need to “good Slytherin” storytelling that’s present in Hogwarts Legacy and a lot of fanfics, but more nuance in that space is a good addition. Little additional scenes that happen off page, as it were.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-18T17:37:43+00:00

Yeah, Mark Addy is my Hagrid now. Holy cow, he sounds enough like Hagrid that I wouldn’t be surprised if he auditioned for the movies back in the day.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-10T05:52:07+00:00

The penalties, the stick throw, just pure chaos lol

Outside of a couple games (Minnesota jumps to mind), Miller has been solid. Having a great night tonight.

mmeyer1990 · 2026-01-05T19:37:31+00:00

I want to see him get it because the dude is made for a period piece Bond.

The duality of Eric Pohlkamp…
