When the Good Omens show came out, I was really excited, because omg Crowley and Aziraphale! And David Tennant as Crowley is like ::chef kiss::

So I dragged Hoosband into watching it, despite the fact that he'd never read the book before.

It was ... okay.

Anyway, some miscellaneous opinions follow.
spoilers for the book/show and also: mixed feelings about Good Omens )

.... doesn't look horrible? At least they're not trying to recreate the original animation scene-for-scene. The Tulou looks cool but I was like "but it's Haka architecture from the south", but then again, they had the friggin' Forbidden City in the first one, so...

They seem to be trying to do a cross between what Americans expect from a China movie (martial arts, epic shots of rustic China scenery) and what Chinese audiences expect from a big film (famous actors, tense family situations, epic shots of war). There are comments on both the Chinese and English youtube videos that lament the lack of Mushu, but I'm glad that they don't seem to be doing that.
