  1. CW: The Continental, Spoilers

    Finally finished #TheContinental. Four and a half hours that could have easily been made two hours. Over produced self-important shoot em up mostly involving random new characters we don’t give a shit about, and we’ll never see again.

    Don’t watch for Mel Gibson. So much promise, but his talents are wasted. Also, he’s barely in it.

    A poorly executed origin story for Winston. Skip it.

  2. @mike Did you enjoy #TheContinental? I actually was disappointed with it. Perhaps it was the lack of Keanu Reeves, but the story didn’t resonate with me. #JohnWick

  3. Just finished ep 1 of #TheContinental. I went in with expectations, and they were met. 😜 I didn't realize 90 min episodes.

  4. 2 new shows to check out.

    #TheContinental

    From the John Wick Universe, comes the story of the Continental and how Winston Scott became it's manager.

    Set at the end of the 70's, it's got action, drama and a banging soundtrack. 3 ep mini series. Hope there's more.

    #GenV

    Set in the same universe as #TheBoys but focused on a group of high school kids at a campus for superheroes.

    As with The Boys, it's for more adult audiences due to strong themes. But it's shaping up to be just as good.

  5. Wenn man ein Drittel der Zeit #TheContinental und zwei Drittel aufs Handy schauen kann, ohne nennenswerte Storybeats zu verpassen, dann hätte die Geschichte vielleicht auch ETWAS tighter erzählt werden können.

  6. The best aspect of episode 2 of #TheContinental (streaming on #Amazon #Prime in Canada) is the soundtrack, which features such classics as Without You (Harry Nilsson) and Welcome to the Machine (Pink Floyd). #JohnWick #entertainment

  7. @johnefrancis i was overseas too long to know the history, but yeah, it's just ok. i think you are correct to higlight advertising as a force of enshittification of news.

    not local, but i have recently been reading #TheContinent for news on Africa (where i was for a while) and been impressed, probably because they don't seem to have any ads, but i haven't figured out their funding model.

  8. thanks to @thecontinent for amazing article by Chris Vicks on amapiano "The homegrown music taking over the world". We have had a non-stop stream of amapiano in our shop since yesterday, everyone loves it.

    i don't remember the last time i looked forward to the next issue of a magazine so much, #TheContinent is highly recommended!
