Agreed—though I will add Sandman to that (of course some of the most successful parts of Sandman *were* the short stories.. Err short comics… Whatever)

That scene for some reason really didn't work for me. And I can't justify why, really, as it's not like this show is grounded in reality. But I didn't buy that Daveed's character, who takes his school work so seriously, and this is his big assignment (was it a dissertation? Not matter) would be happy to instead…

Shit—sorry I'll delete one. I really need to stop posting on here with my phone—the auto-corrections are bad enough.

LOL yes.

Why am I not surprised…

And her sister had played the lead in the more famous, earlier Du Maurier adaptation, Rebecca!

As stated above he did a good job with a flawed script with Enduring Love—perhaps Ian McEwan's best novel and most definitely a thriller with similar themes.

It seems to be getting similar reviews in general—good, not great.

More than just an ok—he seems pretty involved as consultant and he and Fuller have said there have been several ideas he has refused to allow

She directed Salim to her home town when Sweeney was sleeping—I assume she wanted to stop at her fave bar to get some liquid courage for spying on her parents?

In an ent weekly interview co-showrunner Green says the thing about factories finding it cheaper to pay the insurance for an accident or two a year than shutting down the factory for three days and having more safety installed was suggested by Neil Gaiman himself who heard about something like that while in, I think,…

And it's necessary if this is gonna run several seasons.

Lol Starz seemed to realize what a camp fest they had with Flesh and Bone when it went from heavy promotion to suddenly being rebranded a mini series even before it premiered (yet it still ended with a ridiculous cliff hanger). I don't remember much or any cock on that show—it was like they thought they had to work…

As have other recent cable series like Feud and some HBO shows even their thirty minute shows. Eight episodes isn't uncommon in the U.K.

I stand corrected.

AH, I missed that, but am glad my initial reaction is not completely off then. I know the term has been used for other more recent low budget movies—exploitation films especially in the 70s, direct to video movies, and I can accept that more or less. But a huge budget "tentpole" movie?

Are these really B-Movies? I mean The Scorpion King (which was direct to DVD) sure, but to me B-Movie has to mean something the studio doesn't put a lot of money into at all—not just that it's a genre throwback (the same goes for Pirates of the Caribbean…) These movies were made with the intention they'd be Summer…

As a teen I loved the book (I loved Du Maurier in general, but preferred this to Rebecca, even) and I'm a sucker for anything Gothic, so I'm game…

The one I read with Amy B seemed carefully worded to make it sound like she committed suicide while she never explicitly said it…

It also has to be stated that Lindelof as a showrunner (though it sounds like in many ways he was a co-showrunner with Perrotta) on HBO has a lot more control even though he did work with a team of writers. When you write a big blockbuster Hollywood film the script usually is constantly re-written (credited and not)…
