Also, it's definitely one of the best in terms of demonstrating how the characters fit together. Like, sure, the events of the movie are ridiculous, but I can 100% see them happily living together, having kids, growing old together. They barely know each other but laugh their way through moving a couch! I buy the…

This movie totally holds up, and I still want to date Guy Patterson.

Honestly, if the best way to get big-budget blockbusters with large casts of women is to tie them in with existing franchises, I'm ok with it. Bridesmaids pretty handily proved you don't have to (and you know, that Hunger Games movie did pretty ok too), but this can mitigate the feeling of ~risk~ enough to get…

Based solely on the premise and the four actresses on board right now, I want to see it so much that I'd buy a ticket today. I've had three women of my acquaintance agree - enthusiastically! - in the hour since this post went up.

That outfit perfectly encapsulated all my thoughts about the fashion on this show: it's like 60% something I would wear in a heartbeat, and 40% nutballs. If that had been a skirt I would've been coveting the whole look, but nope! Plaid diaper!

Heh, "sick lit" is not actually a term the writers made up: it was tossed around in publishing for a hot second after the wild success of The Fault in Our Stars (and its subsequent inevitable knockoffs), before everyone came to their senses and decided it was pretty gross. It's one of those touches (like Kelsey's…

Well, if you think of "13 episodes' worth" as a singular whole, "less than" would indeed be correct.

I had a friend named Ayelet in college. She pronounced it like "I-yell-it," which in this case is no less suitable for puns.

Yeah, for the first two acts of the episode I was thinking exactly the same things as this review, but by the end I decided that it was just that Eliza's brand of extreme is more attention-getting and easy-to-demonstrate than Henry's. I think the show is trying to paint them both as needing to find balance, but it was…

Coincidentally, that title is exactly what I said when I heard this book was going to exist!

From what I understand, half the fun of watching Reign is complaining about the anachronistic costuming.

Odds are there's something in the contract about credit (you know, that "based on the novel by Author" that usually appears in the opening and closing credits) and probably more money in case a movie came to fruition. Also, film options usually have an expiration date, so if this movie WAS based on the book and was…

Well, yes, we-the-audience know that. Jack is not the audience and is in fact one of the people Hannibal was trying to trick. Jack tested Will's theory and found it to be incorrect. I think he still suspects Hannibal of being the Ripper but no longer thinks Hannibal is feeding the Ripper's victims to his friends.

I do hope they develop it further - I think this was probably *too* easy to miss.

Fedora exceptions are always made for those who can rock the full-on noir detective look: http://nerditis.files.wordp…

Also, Jack intentionally tested some of Hannibal's food to see if it was human and it wasn't, so he probably assumes that Hannibal is NOT customarily feeding his guests people.

Huh, I totally read that as "I have no interest in tearing animals - or people - into parts." Whoops! Way to read between the lines, self. (In my defense, the context was already murder, and the industry she's not-heir to is meatpacking.)

That, and the half-dark shot of Randall's bear-suit's spine & ribs reflected the painting pretty exactly.

Somehow I'm not surprised to hear this show is completely tasteless, considering that they "marketed" at me by repeatedly (weeks apart) tweeting creepy Vines at me, including one where they wrote my Twitter handle (misspelled) on a piece of paper that was then burned. Seems like there's not a lot of actual thought…

Her music's also super weird, though. Like, every song blends half a dozen genres of music, and then the next song is a *different* half-dozen, and they're all about androids. I love her music and her persona and the fact that she sings about androids, but I don't think she'll ever be mainstream. I don't think she…
