Not to mention building up that point and making it seem like it’s the media’s fault just to end with this line—“The Smiths may be too evolved to care what the rest of us think—though clearly they’ll continue to share their thoughts with us, regardless.”—making clear the media and people dissect their thoughts and…

“Every word they say about each other is made into its own headline, pulled apart and dissected until it becomes incomprehensible, like staring at a painting too long until it becomes a blur of colors instead of a picture.”

Completely disagree... It’s used as a vehicle for the two of them to have a discussion about their plutonic love for each other by the end of that two-parter. I think that 30 Rock did it better with Jack and Liz in the series finale, but when Frasier and Roz finally have that discussion about how much they care about…

Fun, beautiful woman who is notably DTF...yeah can’t figure out the attraction there either.

I would put the shoplifting and geode-collecting way above the machine gun, Vince. The machine gun actually advanced the plot.

I was wondering the same thing. I haven't seen every movie on the list, but Rocky IV is definitely better and way more memorable than Cobra. All I remember from Cobra is "crime is a disease and I'm the cure" and the crazy cult villains banging axes together.

Stallone can be funny, but it needs to be in a movie suited to his style. Tango and Cash and Demolition Man work as action-comedies, or at least action movies with some comic beats.

I was hoping we’d finally see how Lovejoy came to operate a hotel for assassins.

It looks like Perry said that Brand pressured her to have kids, which she attributes to a desire for control. He also broke up with her via text. I don’t think that news was dismissed because of Perry in particular, but instead because it mainly told us that Brand was a weirdo and jerk, neither of which is especially…

“is there another agenda at play?”

There were a lot of actors who fell into this “I’m not going to get vaxxed so I can’t work pool” and the reality is that some handled it with grace and humility and are back to work now and others burned all their bridges. 

The mandate was also only in effect for about a year for the film industry so it seems hard to believe that’s the only reason she was broke.

I personally agree that Murder on the Orient Express is overrated. In my opinion it is not one of Christie’s or Poirot’s best mysteries.

Does this church have a newsletter? Because I need a subscription.

Really, Suchet’s truly is an iconic performance - he literally did every single Poirot story. It’s a complete set of works. There’d be few characters with that level of association with a single actor.

it seemed odd to limit the list to cinema adaptations when many of the best TV versions were movie-length.

The listicle goes as far as suggesting that the title for best Poirot is a contest between Peter Ustinov and Albert Finney, which reads as if they’ve never even heard of David Suchet.

Why Didn’t They Ask Evans? was excellent but I don’t get why it qualifies for this list, but the vast majority of TV adaptations do not.

Exactly: Suchet is the Poirot, just as Jeremy Brett is the Sherlock Holmes.

Obviously this is limited to movie adaptations, but I think the fact I’d rank most of David Suchet’s Poirot above all the films on this list I’ve seen is partially down to the fact that Christie’s works generally work best on the small screen. You can lavish up the production design, but fundamentally whodunnits are…
