It’s not as bad as all that, Nilus — For All Mankind is actually pretty good (if a bit soapy in spots), and my niece (and a lot of other younger people) assure me Dickenson is great. The Morning Show started out as Cheap Imitation of Aaron Sorkin, but has reportedly improved over its first season (and Jennifer…

Which is funny since I’m a total Willy the Weeper, bfred — I even choked up over the ending of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Isn’t it “Here ARE the Classic Novels”...?
What, Old Yeller, The Yearling, Where the Red Fern Grows and Sounder didn’t make the list? For me,the Most Hated Books were the ones where a beloved pet dies so the child main character can learn a harsh but necessary lesson about...something....

Still, Trump’s SPAACCCCEEEE FORRRRCCCEEEE! sounds so mockworthy because — Who are we supposed to be Forcing against again...?
We hope it’s generous -- though cheapass as Tyler Perry movies are (they can’t even afford a real woman to play Madea - ! Oh...Wait...), I tend to doubt it myself.

Well, I guess Lyra has in turn the supernatural power of surviving falls from great heights.
Can’t answer any of your other questions, Kumagoro, but it looked to me like the series had had a scene where Will sat down and read the letters, which was why he knew to go to that park and look for...something....
My wife, who’d read the series when we went to see The Golden Compass in theaters, couldn’t really figure out who was who or what was going on! The best parts of it were Sir Ian McKellan’s voice acting as Iorek Byrnison, and Sam Elliott’s doing Lee Scoresby as The Sam Elliott Part.
We watched the entire season over the holiday break, ringing in the New Year around the final episode of the first series. I though McAvoy actually hit the right notes as Asriel — not a bad person, but an obsessed person doing Very Bad Things in the pursuit of what he believes is a Greater Good.
Ah — the BLADE RUNNER solution!
If you walk into an Experts Review, you either have to have read the books, or aren’t anti-spoiler...of a BBC adaptation of a book trilogy that’s anywhere from two decades to a quarter-century old.
That’s one of the reasons I loved the Timmverse teasing an intimate relationship with Batman and Wonder Woman -- she teases him or slaps him down a bit whenever he gets on the self-pity train too much, while making it clear she genuinely cares for him. And he lightens up, a bit, around her...
Of Superman, yes, UFOGoldorak. He’s not Just a Guy With Powers So Terrified of People Finding Out His True Nature He Lets People Die Rather Than Reveal Them — he is, and always has been (when not written by some talentless hack who thinks “Violence & Shitting All Over Everything = Deep!”), a figure who represents The…
First Season, when it was on CBS, they did — in fact, her own adopted sister helped develop a lot of them! It caused some friction, but Kara finally came around to understanding why Alex, who back then at least loved her like she was her real kid sister, would do such a thing.
I just remember him playing so many damned British Villains in quick succession that I started feeling bad for him. He was like Bogart between The Petrified Forest and The Maltese Falcon, the really deadly baddie who would always get shot in the final reel to square things up with The Hayes Office. (There’s a story…
Charles didn’t screw up marrying Diana, he screwed up not finding an accommodation between his A Bit Stiff Tory personality and her younger, more vivacious one.
Yes, but it wouldn’t have been half as funny if it hadn’t been Miguel Ferrer saying that.
