I had the opposite experience. I found the novel to be pretty boring (sorry, I tried to like it) and the 1994 movie sort of pointless. I found Louis to be an irritating whiner who was intent on hating everything about his vampire life. And Claudia was an irritating brat—I was happy when she was finally dispatched.

I’m sad for the actors and crew, but the show was badly written and suffered from the same problem as the “Tales of the City” reboot (sequel?). It shoehorned in too many flavors of young, impossibly-attractive, multi-hyphenate representational characters who don’t exist anywhere but in the minds of virtue-signaling ube…

Wow. That’s the first time I think anyone has deliberately said that out loud since the mid-90s...and the “are you kidding me?” made it even worse.

I’ve watched every episode of every season of this show, and I’ll be damned if I could say what it is about.

The trick was not making it perfect. That’s the problem with TV wigs—they are all helmets of hair with no imperfections. And they are always so fluffy.

OK, but the wig they are using for Kim is perfection. I would never have clocked it if I hadn’t known better before seeing it. It may be the best most realistic TV wig I’ve ever seen.

I have a feeling that Marion may already know who Gene really is, but she’s biding her time and holding onto the secret until she can use it to her advantage.

Third season best so far.

From that long-forgotten almost mythical period when SNL cast members didn’t keep their eyes glued to cue-cards for every single goddamned line of every single goddamned sketch.

We’ve never needed the wisdom of Buddy Cole more than now.

Projecting what? I’m not a highly paid successful actor with a stellar filmography...

I get the strangest sense from John Goodman that he’s not enjoying acting so much anymore. He comes across as indifferent and not quite committed to his Gemstones character, and he doesn’t appear to have the same enthusiasm for Dan Connor that he used to have. The last time I remember him in a role where it seemed…

Oh, of course, because obviously she didn’t like it, had no attraction for the man, and didn’t move in for the kiss faster than the guy did. Gone are the days of spontaneity, of romance, of giving in to feelings of mutual attraction, of being in the moment—not because people are so much more concerned about one…

Cal isn’t “the only gay man” in this show. He doesn’t identify himself as gay, he isn’t in a gay relationship. He could probably be described as a closeted bisexual, based on what we know about him, but you can’t really say that he’s gay.

Your loss. He was actually very good in this.

I don’t get how anyone could think that the titanium screws were the final nails in Dexter’s coffin. It could easily be argued that the first one was mailed to Angela by Kurt to cast suspicion on Dexter and that the second one was planted by Kurt when he was burning down Dexter’’s house, knowing it would be found in…

One thing that struck me as odd is that no one asked for or was given any explanation of where they’d been or why they disappeared. And no one seemed especially amazed at the near miraculous reunions with people they believed were dead. Wouldn’t Clark have been more astounded when he found out who Kirsten was? His…

You missed one, but it’s a deep cut—Victoria Ann Lewis, who played Peggy (Mac Mackenzie’s secretary) on Knot’s Landing from 1984-1993.

What was up with Nate’s homoerotic/close-talking interrogation of McKay?

Yeah, I thought the new characters came off a bit as Boba Fett’s Funky Bunch, with Skittles Skooters (taste the rainbow™). They made everything in the episode feel especially juvey. And the only character who at least looked intimidating ended up being a big puss (the dark-haired Wookie).
