Oh God, I just thought about Ford being able to see everything that happens with the robots at ALL times, the old perv.

Ooh, I like this one. It neatly sutures the glaring hole of why Felix and Sylvester would be behaving the way they are otherwise.

I guess Idiocracy fits because it's horribly eugenicist in its outlook - something Trump himself is?

I had this exact thought. It has to be more casual, or we have to have some evidence that her character has a bit of sweet naivety that she is trying to compensate for with her language choices (and failing to do well).

Raise her empathy to Will Graham levels; watch as she crumples into tears about EVERYTHING.

Pretty illustrative of the general blase tolerance of violence vs the dislike/discomfort over nudity in American films & TV, isn't it?
Saying that, it is distracting. I keep wondering if the actors are cold or uncomfortable, while I don't have to worry if they are in pain after fake bullets rip apart their chests.

AHS: Live (or DEAD) On Ice would be utterly awful and brilliant fun. 100% would watch.

This series is a lot of fun, gorgeous to look at and rarely boring. I marathoned it in June and might seek it out for a bit of Hallowe'en fun. To my mind the biggest sin of the show was not the confusion (I didn't mind) but the episode [spoiler, I guess?] with the 'evil lesbian' subplot. Really out of nowhere, but…

That scene was memorably awful as it ended with Ford saying 'your son, Charley' which is the kind of thing that whips me right out of immersion. If you know someone you don't need to say 'your son, x' out loud! And the audience really isn't *that* impatient. We can wait until it comes out in the next scene organically.

I just finished Eimear McBride's The Lesser Bohemians, her new novel after her A Girl is a Half-formed Thing ripped everyone's heart right out. This one has more lightness and joy mingled with the suffering, and I loved how sharply observant it was even as the language was all splintered and poetic. Now it's on to…

I'm so glad I got my wish (of last week - a renewal). Going to try and petition the fates again: can we get a movie with Lee Pace and Mackenzie Davis starring? It could be about anything. Goofy romcom. Sci-fi. Some kind of horror. I don't care. Just something with the two of them being adorable and great together.

Um, I'm agreeing with you that it could be a possibility? A better option that him actually raping her (which I found unnecessary and horrible).

We're gonna have android church, maybe? Pretty sure that could lead to some holy drama.

So he….dragged her into the barn to reprogramme her? I like that better than the option we were presented with. It felt pretty unnecessary.

Ford's choosing all the music. The 90s were His Time, back in the prime of his manhood, and he likes to slip in a few other classics from other eras just as easter eggs for guests.

There has probably been a feature here on movies based on books that moved the original setting to the US, right? It feels a particularly foolish shift here, given the London suburb angle would have at least made it slightly less of an obvious GG rip.

I think there's something about the so-called 'TV movie level imagery' which makes the original Ringu so terrifying. The video looks like something genuinely discarded and rotten, not overly produced and shiny. Shiny and slick makes for visually alluring but often not so horrifying horror.

C'mon AMC, give this another season! The scripts are really working, the acting is great, everything just has a wonderful lived-in feel and hooks you right in to the world.

Hugh Dancy. Though the new Fifty Shades film is really going to test me.

I don't want to die on the hill of Eurovision apologia, but at least its existence provides me with one night a year of amusement, then most of the songs vanish forever. If only bad Christmas presents did that after they've been opened.
