I wonder about the kid he and June Diane Raphael recently had; I mean, she's an attractive woman and he's a freakish hobgoblin, so talk about a genetic crapshoot ….

"Friday O'Neal" sounds like the name of a plucky girl reporter character in a 30s movie.

As long as it's not a turkey leg. You know those things are really emu, right?

If they ever do a spin-off of this show, I hope it's one starring Ingrid and Petra. I think it's a testament to Fortitude's writers' world-building skills that these two characters, who would just be "Policewoman 1 and 2" in any other show, here seem like real people with their own inner lives, to the point that I can…

Well, I understand helping one's spouse disarticulate and dispose of a corpse or performing home dentistry on them without benefit of anaesthesia can really bring a couple together.

Although this does seem like a missed opportunity to have Ms. Maslany not only play the Helen Mirren character's younger self, but the aunt, Gustave Klimt, the painting, a sympathetic Viennese streetcar conductor, a few dozen background extras, etc. as well.

I would have also included Frederic Wakeman's 1946 best-seller The Hucksters and its 1947 Clark Gable/Deborah Kerr-starring film adaptation, which was another significant early critique of the "grey flannel suit" era of post-war American capitalism in general and the advertising industry in particular.

She's fantastic as Sadie Doyle in The Thrilling Adventure Hour podcast's "Beyond Belief" segments. Acker & Blacker have talked about trying to do a sitcom adaptation of BB with her and Paul F. Thompkins, so if any additional recognition she gets from this increases the likelihood of that happening, I'm all for it.

Interestingly, Pepe Serna is in Buckaroo Banzai, where he plays a character named … Reno.

Natali's also, according to the IMDb, supposed to be directing the long-delayed movie version of Neuromancer, not that anyone's really expecting that to happen anytime soon.

Amusingly, according to Google Translate, the title of this episode means "Save the Whales" (yes, "whales," not "Wales").

If I hadn't seen her name in the episode description, I'm not sure I would have recognized her. She was more animated and sympathetic in this one episode than in all seven seasons of Mad Men combined.

True, but that works because it has the advantage of being mostly from the POV of a disembodied spirit, thus the camera movements aren't bound by the laws of physics as they would be if they were trying to mimic that of a regular, earthbound human.

Still seems impractical for daily use. You'd think she'd at least make them retractable, like Molly's in Neuromancer.

Aren't all nail salons evil, basically? I'm assuming there must be something going on with them or how else can they thrive with three or four of them per city block?

That shot of Angar seemingly unhinging his jaw like a snake to let out a scream (some nicely subtle prosthetic/CG work there, I'm guessing?) was genuinely freaky.

I think it's because an all-POV movie is one of those ideas that people occasionally get seduced by because it sounds cool in theory, even though it ends up being awkward and impractical and more artificial-looking than a conventionally shot film when you have to commit to it for the length of a feature — even more so…

On a purely logistic level, casting it with actors the same age as the movies is problematic, as you'd be casting a girl and boy who are roughly the same age, which is also an age at which girls are often maturing faster than boys are (and both are changing rapidly anyway). Good luck maintaining the "ageless…

“Everything is moving forward and everybody is crazy thrilled and excited.” already does sound kinda like a line of Twin Peaks dialogue.

Too bad. Not, of course, to deny Ms Brewster a well-deserved paycheck, but I guess this means that potential Beyond Belief series Acker & Blacker had hinted at won't be happening anytime soon.
