Glad I'm not the only one not admiring Brannagh's claims. The review is right on most points, but there's one more thing - it was just so fine. I guess that what's the patriotism angle is suggesting, but let's say "look we got John Hurt too" is part of that. It was like seeing an Alec Guinness appear, and had more…

There's an English-language Canadian near-remake called Ogre (2008). It belongs to a weird genre up there of near-remakes of U.S.-ican films. Just in the Katharine Isabelle oeuvre are Ogre, Carrie (2002) and The Last Casino (2004). The last one is actually a pre-make of an idea that must have already been knocking…

So much for my elaborate(ly simple) Re-sort Disqus Greasemonkey user script. Six people including me have installed it. Thanks goodness somebody else had already figured out the framework of a messing-with-Disqus technique, so I just adapted it to the task at hand. Sort of like the amazing CW sci fi show… oy that show…

Great, but New World is not about pure nature vs. man's violence. It's a story of mutual incomprehension. Both groups are violent, though one has a more antagonistic (& awkward) relationship with nature of course.

Mitt Romney learned that the hard way.

She had one of the funnier scenes in first season Nashville, laying some sarcasm on Gunnar & Scarlett - mirroring what the audience was thinking. No great accomplishment, but she held her own in that cast. Gotta say, this sort of mash of  Whedon and the CW is a little disconcerting, but it's getting good ratings.

If she's no longer a detective, I'm not watching.

The boatswain says it's so.

It's all a set up for the great(er) scene of Abraham bargaining God down from 50 to 10 righteous souls. I think he should have gone for one.

The best thing about the FXX channel being up in the 200s is that the channel next to it shows Heroes and Lost reruns all the time.  Now a shown on Ovation, another network I had forgotten about.

Just him and Mike Ehrmantraut, berating him for eating crap.

Amusing that. Which ST series had the sexy couple decontamination shower scene? Complete with meandering closeups. That one really went for it.

What's the deal with the Boston Red Sox?

Jack Lord was a silkscreen artist in his spare time. One year the network, CBS, bought a whole run of them and gave them to the affiliates. Hawaiian flowers.

According to Wikipeida, he was neither a district attorney nor a defense attorney (like Perry Mason), but a "special department consultant" for the San Francisco Police Department, so I'd say it's

Why are these ancient stories on the Newswire today?

Yes, we are innocent of those awkward songs of praise, until now.

She & Coulson were in "Tahiti" together.

Also, why do I feel like Deadline-style astroturfers have invaded this space? Not you obviously. They have exactly the same voice as the studio/agent interns over there.

Coulson joins Tide, but finds out he can't exist without the SHIELD reanimation tech, has to make a choice between life & the greater good.
