Swegin!

I like that she feels the need to admit to a crush on Kyle Chandler—I'm a straight male and I have a crush on Kyle Chandler. And, of course, Connie Britton.

I'd like to hear this read in the Michael Caine voice of either Steve Coogan or Rob Brydon.

I like both Matilda and The Witches a lot. My favorite Dahl book as a kid was The Twits, and after seeing Matilda, I thought DeVito would be the perfect director for a film version.

Warwitch Davis.

This sounds way more immersive and experimental in approach based on everything I've read about it. I like Winged Migration but prefer Microcosmos by the same team—the latter I got to see years ago on a late summer night in the middle of a park, which is the ideal way to watch it.

It would help if she could move even one part of her face. Botox makes people look terrifying.

Maybe Shane Black wrote a really filthy script for Iron Man 3 so that Kingsley's version of The Mandarin is exactly like Don Logan.

You are correct. I had no idea. Looks shoddy though.

There should be a movie based on Dahl's The BFG. That's the giant movie I want to see, not this foolishness.

Is that a Jack Nicholson biopic?

I would see this if Ben Kingsley were tormenting him the whole time.

Weird that Tasha said that, but then didn't really give anything away in it that you couldn't pick up from the image above. Seems more like she's arguing to keep an open mind about potential tonal shifts or something…

So excited—I had no idea this was finally opening. I have been dying to see this for months.

That opening paragraph makes this sound exactly like Teen Witch.

The ghost of Franklin Pangborn.

It has a great bathroom mirror jump-scare that is more successful than all of its jokes put together.

Louise Brooks bob > all other hair

One cool thing about this show is that it proves how ridiculously misguided the whole Felicity haircut debacle was back in the day, since Keri Russell wears a different wig in almost every episode and looks gorgeous in all of them. She just has one of those faces that can pull off any hairstyle.

People can nitpick various tracks here, but the range of that list is not something that would even be remotely possible in today's music climate.
