Hmmmm, I guess technically? The files are basically something they should be allowed to look at anyway, though.

No, wait, I'm right, just unclear. The he refers to Snicket.

Ah, give me a break. My computer broke and I've been typing on a phone.

Absolutely retrofitting. I think it's really obvious he had no grander plan in mind until book five.

That is the one section of the film I remember really well.

Not really. It reveals her fears are rational DURING A HURRICANE. Let alone fear of realtors…

It IS a little bit inconsistent. The books make a big deal later out of the kids stealing/blorrowing Hal's(?) keys in "The Hostile Hospital" so they can grab the Snicket files, as if it's this decision they should feel super guilty about (which is completely ridiculous), but Handler doesn't even mention the fact that…

I'm partial to "Please, call me Julio", but cheer-up cheeseburgers is up there.

HP 50/50. Goosebumps absolutely.

I really can't say enough how great I found Josephine's death scene. It NAILED that balance between horror and comedy that the series has to consistently hit to be effective.

Every single change is such a huge improvement on the book. It's a brilliant adaptation. It improves on the original in every way while still feeling like an actual adaptation.

Sunny is killing it.

Also, Larry in the Anxious Clown was great.

Klaus has almost as much bite as Sunny in this adaptation, and I approve.

B is a good grade. I thought Josephine's death was an excellent scene, better even than the book.

I'd love to meet or be in a show with a guy like him. I feel like it would make a talented character actor's day if someone (say, me) were to go up and wring his hand while half-yelling - "Hey! You were the waiter from the Anxious Clown! You were great!".

Interestingly, in the books a lot of fans theorized that the taxi driver from "The Wide Window" and "The Grim Grotto" was Lemony Snicket, so I guess the show dashed those dreams.

Now, now, let's be fair. There isn't an actor alive who could salvage that hideous script. It made Jim Carrey's "The Grinch" look good in comparison, which takes some doing.

It's possible they'll do what they did with Sunny's "sword fight" in "The Miserable mill": Get rid of it entirely.

Rewatching the series, I don't think it's possible to exaggerate how adorable Sunny is. Her facial expressions alone are good enough to save otherwise lackluster scenes.
