Great, great movie. Supposedly Hitchcock's favorite of his own films. Although that bit about "they’re named after a murderous psychopath" makes no sense to me.

If memory serves, ABC ran "War and Remembrance", the sequel to "The Winds of War", and it was a massive dud. That kind of killed off the miniseries.

I'm guessing the pub was closed and they went back to the train station along with everyone else.

That male dentist has a weird squashed face. Bug eyes. And the crazy white teeth. It's like the Uncanny Valley on a living person.

After those moronic realtors got bounced in the first episode, the sexiest lady left on the show has one arm. It's certainly different. You think "wow, she's hot", and then there's her arm stump.

Ernie Hudson is 69 years old and has reached the stage where he doesn't have to give a flying fuck what people think about him.

"I think (white cis bisexual male talking) is using it as a shorthand for a biological deterministic worldview "

I too missed the memo about not being allowed to use the word "female". Who knew?

As for whistling in songs, I've always loved John Lennon's whistling outro in "Two of Us".

You're a bad person.

You have bad taste, and you should feel bad.

There's a pretty great book called "Collapse" by Jared Diamond that explores how societies fail. It examines Easter Island among others.

I had no idea it was back on.

I'm glad others are noticing the creepy teeth of the creepy dentists. Actually, that guy's whole face looks weird, squashed or something.

So what's the lurid, bloody climax? Does Pike's character get away with everything?

Nearly the whole second half, actually, before a conclusion in which Holmes explains how he figured everything out.

Chronologically in-universe, the last Conan Doyle story, "His Last Bow", has Holmes coming out of retirement to catch a German spy.

No. But it's where Michael Chrichton got the title.

I dunno, it doesn't seem too technically difficult to rig some kind of self-destruct mechanism in a phone.

Yeah, I'm gonna throw BS on this one.
