Prior to her stint on this show, I'd never have thought of Megan Fox as having any sort of gift for comedy and, to be honest, I'm still not sure she has one, but she does have a weirdly off-kilter affect that fits in surprisingly well with rest of the show's cast (no mean feat, given it's one of the best comedy…

"This is my life now?"

Well, there's Nashville, but it only exists if your story involves country music in some way.

Yeah, I always found that aspect rather … problematic, shall we say. It's like if the premise of Schindler's List was "Sure, what the Nazis did was definitely not very nice, but those Jews really were up to something."

"Walk it off, kid."

"Make America normal again!"

While their videos are very inventive, their songs are sort of the musical equivalent of the Silence from Doctor Who: unless I'm actually listening to them, I couldn't for the life of me tell you what they sound like.

Asshole adult was once asshole kid. Yeah, that's some real world-building there, I tell you what.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Hell's Kitchen, Steve Ditko looks up from from his well-thumbed copy of Atlas Shrugged, takes a bite from the grilled cheese sandwich he toasted on his radiator, and thinks, "Soon …"

She manages to be consistently funny even when she's just listening to the other actors. I dunno whether it's a byproduct having to make her presence felt while sharing the screen with a bunch of outsized comic characters for a couple of seasons while the writers figured out what to do with her, but it's certainly…

After her seeing her force-of-nature performance in Penny Dreadful, I'd watch Eva Green doing her taxes for two hours.

She has depths, I guess. Or something.

If only that were the only, or even the least, thing I had to be embarrassed about (coincidentally, btw, Killjoys and Lost Girl were both created by the same person, Michelle Lovretta).

Walerian Borowczyk made some interesting films back in the "porno chic" era (see also Andy Warhol's Frankenstein and Dracula and the films of Jess Franco). His Immoral Tales and The Beast are … well, not exactly good, but perfectly representative of a 70s eurotrash sensibility that doesn't really exist anymore.

Taken together, Killjoys and Dark Matter are pretty decent Firefly methadone (admittedly, I have something of a weakness for low-budget Canadian genre shows, see also Continuum, Lost Girl, etc.)

Oh, so you've seen Pretty Maids All in a Row then?

One of the great things about the picture is how it somehow manages to be both cartoonishly stylized and a perfect time capsule of the period in which it was made (it came out the same year I moved to New York and there isn't a single grimy, neon-lit frame that doesn't to this day inspire a powerful sense of nostalgia…

Classic Fuchs!

Definitely curious about this. His film Possession is a long-time favorite, as well as one of the most completely batshit things I've ever seen.

So, sort of like architecture or sportswriting is for guys, then?
