It does feel very much like an evolutionary step in television, not just in the procedural structure and dynamics between the leads that Toastmaster mentioned, but in the idea of a continuing story arc (common today in Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Mad Men…a lot of shows really). As a network television show with a…

The trailer for the sequel is already up: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I'm assuming there's already been a flood of Dracula: The Unseen jokes?

Yeah, there's a lot at stake here.

Way to not be an Adolph Quittler!

My understanding of contemporary and historic urban Canada comes from Guy Maddin films. I'm just going to assume they're 100% accurate.

The biggest thing childhood illness taught me is that movies, TV and the like are bullshit.

That's a wonderful articulation of horror's potential. Thank you. The stigma is infuriating, the de facto dismissal that when a horror movie shows disturbing things, its somehow automatically… only intelligible as prurient and indulgent? Not self-aware? Just plain 'not doing it right'? Approaching challenging subject…

It seems like she's at a stage of her career where she's trading one set of typecasting opportunities for another. She was lucky a few years ago when she was the go-to precocious, foul-mouthed kid at a point when doing that was a bit of a novelty, but now she's expected to do dippy young adult adaptations like…

The Tailor of Panama is awesome, with Brosnan playing a terrific deconstruction of the Bond persona while he was still the Bond incumbent. That speaks most to good casting and his willingness to be a good sport, but those are positive qualities, too.

In defense of that old saw:

David Sheff's "Game Over" is a terrific history of the company. Based off that and other stuff I've read, I'd say: they were used to market dominance, thought they could boss around third-party developers because they were the only game in town, had an obsession with making their systems and games with high quality…

Gods and Generals (2003) had an intermission in its theatrical release. 10-15 minutes of music and black celluloid, and when you came back there was still an entire movie's length to sit through!

Crap, I forgot about that. And the actress is future Bond Pierce Brosnan's first wife, Cassandra Harris. Who is, sadly, dead in real life from cancer.

A gender inversion of the trope in the Bond series: in "For Your Eyes Only," the female lead is out for revenge against the villain, who murdered her parents. Gets it, too, and if I remember right no women die.

If my Facebook feed is any indication, a lot of people - some of whom are prone to ranting and raving semi-coherently on any number of topics - have been speaking about depression publicly with a lot of compassion. The cable news coverage has been detestable, but I've been heartened by how many people I know have…

Yeah, well I had sex with your wife!

On the other hand, he may have been an immigrant. So maybe it would have been a toss-up.

Agreed: it's a gothic story, come to life.

Moore's graphic novel is utterly brilliant, and has virtually nothing to do with the movie that was based on it. Similar to how his "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" made a fun jumble of fictional characters of various eras, it uses the Ripper killings and conspiracy theories thereabout as a backbone to meander…
