The Childcatcher from Chitty Chity Bang Bang
not on here? Really? Amazing. . . . https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I love the last lines of the letter that Layton wrote just days before he died of cancer: 'My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world.'

I don't know; her riding has been reconfigured, which means the neighbourhood around the U of T, full of students who'd probably be inclined to vote NDP, isn't in the riding anymore. Plus the Liberal candidate looks like a tough opponent. Whatever happens in Spadina-Fort York, though, the Conservatives won't get in…

Another Canadian here: please, let's get Harper out of office. He's hell bent on taking this country even further to the right, stifling debate on climate change, ramming omnibus bills through Parliament, proroguing government when it suits him, continuing to to do nothing about the Senate scandal, and fanning the…

Aaron took care of a few people. Presumably he learned how to take care of himself when he was outside the community on his recruitment runs.

Also telling Sam to get in the cupboard and bolt the door from the inside the way she taught him. Presumably she put the bolt there, and told Sam to hide in the cupboard and lock it when his dad got violent.

This was simply a joy to read. Thanks so much to Ruth Ann Penzey, Caitlin, and of course Dick Van Dyke,

Shell out for Hitchcock, and have him played by Toby Jones.

Pre-screeners were around, because there was a spoiler-free review of the first episode in The Guardian on Saturday. So I don't know why the AV Club review appears to have been thrown together with no proofing. The editor in me cringed a bit as I read it.

Yes, so they could see who was coming and going in the junkyard and decide which tunnel to use if they had to leave without being noticed. It was about 1972 that I started reading the series, when I was 8, and the periscope - and all the other tech stuff they used - struck me as amazing. I was pleasantly surprised,…

Then you don't want to watch the two German movies based on two of the books, which apparently took a lot of liberties with the source material.

I understand that Robert Arthur - who had a long and distinguished career as a writer of short stories and radio dramas, as well as being the ghost-editor of many of those Alfred Hitchcock anthologies from the 1960s - wrote the Three Investigators books because he was frustrated by the lack of action-adventure stories…

I knew they were amazingly popular in Germany, to the extent that there were a couple of TV movies made a few years ago that were (I believe) also dubbed into English. Although they were based on two of the actual novels, they were (I gather) pretty different from the plots of those books.

Please, someone, do a modern TV series about Robert Arthur's Three Investigators. Arthur's originals were written in the late1960s/early 1970s, and yes, I'm old enough that I read them then; but when I re-read them to my now 18-year-old son some 12 years ago I was amazed by how well they stood up, largely because the…

All our main characters except one of the most interesting ended up at an upscale seaside house, where they look set to board the owner's yacht and just keep sailing around until shit blows over. I'm thinking that as this won't sustain a 15-episode second series, this plan won't work out as well as they'd all hoped.

Heath and Co. must be paid by the hour for their supply runs. Two weeks?? Really? And unless their vehicle is a lot bigger on the inside, or they have a couple of people driving 18-wheelers following along behind, they're pretty crap at the whole 'finding supplies' thing.

So is he saying we had five seasons of build-up before things got 'intense'? Man, that really makes me worried about how long it's going to take for Fear the Walking Dead to get there.

That's one of the (many) reasons I love Neil Simon's Murder by Death so much; Simon clearly loves the old mysteries and detectives he's spoofing throughout.

And what kind of military gate can be disarmed by turning two or three switches? Shouldn't there be a code you have to punch in? Geez, I can't even get into a local school district building without an individual code.
