I'm currently trying really, really hard not to have a crush with BBC's Sherlock. I mean, Benedict Cumberbatch? Those cheekbones. Sigh.

Um, how is the Hitchcock version of Rebecca faithful to the novel? It has bits in common, but between the production code and the length of the film, it's hardly similar.

Nope. I believe that Bryan Fuller will pull this off.

Isn't CBS also the network that blatantly stole "Sherlock," set it in NYC, and called it "Elementary?"

Meh. I can't help what I like, nor can I help my gender. These days there are plenty of geeky girls.

Um, that was terrible? I kept expecting it to change from a teen-horror trailer into something interesting, but it never did…

As a boring old white person, I'd like to add to that plea. There are plenty of black and minority actors I like who just never get enough quality work because Hollywood is made of old white guys. I'm never, ever going to watch a Tyler Perry film for the same reason I don't watch new Adam Sandler movies, but I'm

Most of the authors I read manage a book a year. They're not paramounts of American literature, but they're well structured all the same. Still, Picoult has never held any interest for me.

If you can name three things in a row, you too can become President of the United States!

If you look at the wikipedia entry on Sherlock, it tells you which stories they're doing this series.

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by season 2. I'm hoping the last episode will regain my faith in the series. (Haven't seen it yet…)

#2 is false. imdb lists birthdays and age regardless of whether you're signed up for pro. And their billing department is actually outsourced to another company, as far as I know.

WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENED?

Yeah, I'd love to see William de Worde return. He shows up for a sentence here and there but there's only one book completely about them, right?

If you could pick which thread of Discworld Pratchett picks up next, which one would you pick?

Good Omens isn't Discworld, at least I don't believe so. It's just also written by Terry Pratchett.

I think the next one is actually something like The Troll Guide, a boy scout parody. But I could be wrong.

I saw Serenity before seeing Firefly, so I can honestly say that if Whedon was attempting to make the movie more newbie-friendly that was a failed attempt.

I fail, because I couldn't get past the tall jump in world 1. Were we supposed to get power-ups or something?
