Hulu’s Books Of Blood somehow manages to make Clive Barker bland

I used to have a sortof name-blindness between Wilford Brimley <> Bradley Whitford <> Bradley Cooper, so that I’d read a headline saying that Bradley Cooper was starring in something with Jennifer Lawernce, and my immediate thought was “Nicely down, cocoon-oatmeal guy.”

That’s why I’m here too.

I don’t know that Amazing Spider-Man 2 is actually a bad movie, but it really could have been called Dubstep: the Movie. (Which I guess does make it a bad movie.)

I think the patriotic nascar montage deserves a mention.

Also, weren’t transformation scenes in basically everything long before Sailor Moon?

I was going to say that a 22 episode season was too many, and that a prestige-y 13 would have suited it better. But then I looked it up, and it turns out that the first season only had 18. Things sure got draggy in the middle~end though.

Giving someone who is condemned to death access to big, pokey spikes seems like a rather bad idea. Presumably if he were to headbutt someone his android would immediately crush his head. But even still, go out in a blaze of glory, man. Or “Oops, I tripped and impaled a cleric. Oops, I tripped again and impaled my…

One thing I really like about Raised by Wolves is that it’s a society that’s very different from the one that we’re used to.

I don’t disagree about the roboexposition, but I also really enjoyed the 50s scifi-ness of the whole thing. I was waiting for Rod Serling or Robbie the Robot to show up at any minute. The whole thing felt like a throwback, but with really great production values.

Also, captain’s rank-thingy so it’s post-demotion.

Every time I think about the show I remember season 2, where they spent episode after episode after episode building up what seemed to be origin of the borg.

This season they’re off in the distant future or whatever, so I would assume we’ll see at least some non-starfleet characters.

...it’s not a gritty sci-fi drama like Star Trek: Picard

Killing the goofballs off in the first 10 minutes is certainly part of it, but Bogus Journey is also just a much meaner movie.

I just don’t like Bogus Journey. The first one is so fun, and the second one is pretty miserable (other than Sadler).

Purple Noon/Plein Soleil is so good. I like Talented Mr. Ripley a lot, but Purple Noon has this amazing mediterranean noir vibe that Minghella’s doesn’t really try for.

I thought that this was the perfect role for his insincere, needy, creepiness. It was the role he was born to play.

Yeah, I wasn’t actually meaning to make a dig with the “aimed at kids” part.

I actually wonder why CBS didn’t just spinoff a new animated TOS universe aimed at kids, the way that DC and Marvel have been doing forever.
