I’ve heard very positive things about the audiobooks for the Slough House series of novels by Mick Herron (eight so far, plus the novellas). Sure, they’re getting a rather faithful big budget adaptation as Slow Horses starring Gary Oldman, but there’s a quite surprising large number of people who got into the series…

All it would take is reedit the Mel Gibson movie into something much shorter and more palatable.

Croupier is much more Owen’s alley than James Bond. He would have actually made a miserable 007, with even more sadness and exhaustion than Craig, without the lightness that Craig could also bring to the part. But sadness and exhaustion were precisely what was needed for Children of Men.

He also created the European Borgia show starring that guy from The Wire as Rodrigo Borgia, the show that aired next to The Borgias, starring Jeremy Irons. Still, the Fontana Borgia lasted three seasons, just like the other one, but it isn’t exactly remembered fondly a decade later.

Yes, based on the first two novels. There are very solid works. There was also a TV movie in the seventies, The Underground Man, which adapted the final Archer novel, plus an international 2002 film based on Guilt-Edged Blonde.

Every original Marlowe novel, but Playback, which is crap, has already been adapted, sometimes several times.

Episode X

She was actually told that one of her victims would be Balder the Brave, played by Daniel Craig.

Kimmel had been apolitical during most of his career until there was one of the first attempts at repealing Obamacare during Trump and he did on his show a monologue about his son being born with two rare heart defects, explaining he had been lucky to be wealthy, because he could pay for the surgery that was a…

It was by far the best movie I saw between the first two lockdowns in France. Well, more exactly by far the better, given that the other one I saw was The New Mutants. I went as far as picking the only theater in Paris that had a 70mm copy, complete with a written disclaimer by Nolan where he states that 70mm film is…

Tenet has the most riveting truck heist ever filmed. To rob one truck, you need to put one truck in front of it, one truck behind it, one truck to the left and one van to the right. You won’t find that in some vile Fast & Furious movie.

Both Nolan and Snyder felt shortchanged by Warner Bros, due to the way Tenet and Justice League were handled.

His manager or his agent or whoever wrote the whole thing and convinced him to shut the fuck off for a few weeks and to let them post this on his Instagram is clearly sincere about it.

CORRECTION: It’s not the best work involving Dave Foley about buying a bank and escaping from an hospital.

It looks like they tried to go the Ben Hamish road and failed utterly in the process.

Everybody offers tax credits. Australia has the added benefit of having studios (larger than anything in Hawaii) that allow the entire production to be held there besides location shootings.

A small reminder that it’s not the best work involving Dave Foley about buying a bank.

This wasn’t just unsubtle. It was ham-fisted (unfortunately not Hamm-fisted)

Zack Snyder at this point is essentially Troy Duffy with better people skills.

Regarding Poker Face, Penultimate doesn’t mean third. It’s second from the end. Antepenultimate is third from the end (the notion is useful for Ancient Greek declinations)
