I gave up at the beginning of this season. I just got so sick of the show repeating the same beats over and over and over (Regina slips back from redeeming herself once again, Gold reveals his true motivations once again, Emma struggles with her trust issues once again, Snow and Charming show themselves to be TV's…

I was out as soon as you made the Darling Companion comparison. That movie is so boring while also convinced that every little thing that happens is fascinating. Glad to see Alec Baldwin is the indifferent/self-obsessed bad husband in yet another movie.

What I really want is a hybrid of the two - Garfield and Stone with the mood and visual style of the first two Raimi films.

I really have no decent contemporary answer. I would get the Halloween/The Thing/Escape from New York-era Carpenter to direct. I hear Bogart in my head reading Hellboy's dialogue in the comics (gruff wisecracker with a soft side - I mean, who does that better?).

Blair gets better in Golden Army. I think they were going for "depressed" in the first movie but it came across as comatose. Not a big fan of pairing off Liz and HB, though.

Had such a crush on him in the '80s, even if most of those movies are pretty terrible. Glad he turned out to have an interesting second act with directing and writing. I've read some of his travel writing and highly enjoyed it.

Having just come from seeing The Lost City of Z (excellent movie, by the way), I'm mostly relieved that Tom Holland is no longer sporting one of the worst fake mustaches I've ever seen.

I don't think this is their absolute worst season but I do feel like there have been a lot of just plain mediocre episodes. Not terrible, not even close to good, often with a few solid jokes or a nice character moment but almost always with a plot that is very, very familiar and some scenes that just go thud. I…

The problem with these types of plotlines in the later seasons (apart from having been done to death already) is that Moe is basically right when he says Homer doesn't treat Marge right and we've seen it over and over and over again. He'll do something stupid or thoughtless, she'll get mad, he'll make a last ditch…

It's one of the most frustrating things about reading Dracula in hindsight, which popularized so much vampire lore that the main characters look like idiots for not thinking "vampire" as soon as Lucy gets sick.

I've always thought American Werewolf in London handled that balance well. They obviously exist in a world where werewolf lore and pop culture exist but suggest that knowing all that doesn't make things any easier.

Emily Blunt, the Badass Mary Poppins

Saw GOTG 2. Had some minor problems with it in terms of pacing and story but found it very, very enjoyable.

I don't have much to say about the other 5th Doctor holdovers (Adric became a giant pain and Tegan is possibly the whiniest companion ever - we get it, you want to leave) but I've always thought Nyssa was a good idea for a companion that they never got to work.

Obviously they didn't got much time to test it (and had the notable problem that his actor just wasn't good) but I can see how they thought the insufferable boy genius might bounce off of Baker in interesting ways. With Davison Adric wound up kidnapped, sidetracked (to eat the buffet in Black Orchid), or siding with…

Jamie, Leela, and Ace are all great choices (though personally I would probably substitute in Liz for Leela). I think Sladen overcame some very shaky writing for her character to become a favorite through sheer charm.

If movies, TV, and theme park rides have taught me anything it's to never go into a house with its own creepy gates and a tower.

The endless non-deaths of Rory. Though I quite like Rory so I will let it slide.

That felt too harsh as a sentence until I remembered Emma Roberts in Coven. Suffer, Eric.

Very fun episode. I like Doctor Who in full on horror mode and this landed enough emotional beats at the end to work. Would have been nice if the roommates got any real characterization but how sweet was Bill showing her room off to her mother's picture?
