Besides, Burroughs and HST did drugs and they managed to put out good books!

That's one looooong aria.

I think it was always going to be a trilogy, just because of That Speech basically needing its own movie.

Is there anything to it other than the ideology? I mean, a huge portion of the book is just Galt's speech. The whole thing is a platform for the philosophy, and then there's some stuff about trains.

Jim Henson's Last Picture Show Babies!

Other kids on the playground kept calling his mom hot, fights kept starting, it was chaos.

It saddens me that this show is going to be nigh-impossible to put on DVD/BR/streaming, because movie clips have gotten that much more expensive and hard to secure in the meantime.

They're pretty much indistinguishable after a point. If you ever read Master Pierre Panthelin, it's basically a sitcom episode.

I think it was a really bold choice to have the action stop occasionally and draw squiggly light-pen circles and arrows on the screen.

Honestly? The winner should have been Rushmore. No movie has ever astonished me with how good it was the way that did.

Shakespeare's own comedy plots were filled with cliche! Not just in the sense of him inventing things, but in the stories he stole from older sources!

You're missing the point. Why didn't he use them on the Coalition when they invaded? Professional courtesy?

You know, at the time, Sci-Fi Universe was refreshing in its candor and willingness to be bluntly critical of nerd sacred cows, at a time when the market was dominated by magazines like Starlog that unquestioningly pushed whatever was being marketed to the sci-fi/fantasy audience.

Silence- much like Hannibal, the series, would do later- really does focus more on the psychology than the brutality. It's about this frustrated desire and envy, and the camera work often draws our attention to the idea of coveting what we see. (The scene were Jodie Foster and Kasi Lemmons are discussing the case is…

Finally got around to watching Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing, which was a lot of fun. Emma Thompson's Beatrice will remain unmatched, but Amy Acker is seriously good, as is Denisov's Benedict. And Nathan Fillion as Dogberry is simple genius. The photography's a little flat (perhaps understandable given how…

That fight between Brienne and the Hound was pretty hair-raising. The right person won, but I was worried.

I met Proctor and Ossman at the National Audio Theatre Festivals in 2012. Both great guys.

Wait, isn't Nick Danger the first side?

Not too long ago I read the first two books of the trilogy. First one was good, the second totally lost me- it just felt formless and meandering and I can only remember one or two significant events in it.

At some point on Frasier Maris was actually going to be shown- the plan was they'd tease it a bit like Vera but then just have her show up- but before too long the descriptions of her had gotten to a point where no flesh and blood actress could do her justice.
