Yes, well - your loss, mate.

So, Lynch's Dune actually has a following, of people who sincerely enjoy it as a moviegoing experience? I guess by now I shouldn't be surprised by anything I discover down here in the comments, but that's genuinely surprising to me.

Yes, although actor James Corden is, on the whole, considerably less annoying than talk show host James Corden.

And to cap it all off, he's keeping all 9,357 Superchunk albums… I like Superchunk well enough, but they're perfect for purging, because their songs all start to sound kind of the same after a while.

I think a lot of it is the now-usual thing, i.e. young woman has opinions about things, decides to voice them publicly & write about them = here come the trolls, misogynists and misanthropes.

I know! She should do what most people do, and be 100% consistent in everything she says and does every single moment of the day, every day for the rest of her life, without fail!

You're probably right, but I tend to be an absolutist when it comes to my likes and dislikes.

I don't know that the BBC can afford to spend much, illogical as it seems (considering how money this show makes) - the organisation as a whole is perpetually subject to budget cuts, including whichever subset of the BBC it is that makes Doctor Who. A project like this probably gets the go-ahead precisely because it…

I don't understand. Is this an American thing?

It could probably look better, but given that this is the BBC we're talking about, I'd imagine that these were produced on a shoestring budget.

Yes! We're all individuals!

No, no - his movies aren't shitty, they're works of undeniable unalloyed genius (is apparently the orthodox viewpoint around here, as I discovered a few days back).

How about some Grit, America's Greatest Family Newspaper?

Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling, Peter Cook's upper-class twit character from one of his TV sketch comedy series with Dudley Moore. (Or on occasion, Greeb-Streebling, "depending upon Cook's mood", according to Wikipedia).

Yeah, me too. Maybe he was (i.e. I know the true stories are supposed to actually be true, but with a story like this one, who would know for sure?).

From Would I Lie To You?, an ad-libbed, off-the-cuff name of a stereotypical, apartheid-era racist Afrikaner: Tobias Cruelty.

I dunno, "Skywalker" has a kind of poetry to it - unlike the name the character was originally given.

Count Dooku.

Yeah, if a short movie is like a short story, that was a novella. They could have told that story in 7-8 minutes, tops.
