A glaring omission is Alice (1988), the stop-motion animated film using decomposing, maggot infested skeletal animals as the cast by Jan Svankmajer. Definitely one of the more disturbing things I’ve ever seen.

Damn, what kind of gift bag is this?  I would have pictured one of those little paper gift bags with a handle, not an XL trash bag.

He was playing a human with dwarfism in a fantasy setting, he wasn’t playing a fantasy dwarf like Gimli.

Good: Aisling Bea was great. And it was fun to see Daleks actually murder everyone, that was new and refreshing.

Jennings was perfect. The faux outrage about some lame tweet jokes was bullshit. Buzzy was good too. Richards was okay, but had too much of a local newscaster vibe or something, there’s something kind of fake and announcer-ey about him. But almost anyone could do a good enough job and not break the show.

One Balki was enough!

Who?

Does he yell “GOD DAMN IT!” before he snaps?

It’s blurry because she doesn’t open her eyes.  Seriously, what’s the deal with that?  It’s just a dumb affectation, right?  Or is something wrong with her eyes?

And T. Herman Zweibel, the deranged millionaire publisher emeritus.

Avenue 5 is ok.  He’s not amazing in it, but he doesn’t drag the whole thing down too much.

I haven’t seen this film yet but I’ve had a morbid curiosity about it ever since I read Nathan Rabin’s MYOF entry about it, which caused me to check out Roger Ebert’s review:

That tidbit piqued my interest. Unfortunately, I looked up the soundtrack, which seems to feature no metal at all.

I switched it around and skipped Raising Steam instead, which supposedly had a lot of characters acting in incongruous ways, like parts were written by somebody else or his faculties were just failing. I liked The Shepherd’s Crown alright.

That stands for Letter ‘Riter?

One thing to point out is that Doctor Ruth’s Tardis has an illuminated police box sign but I believe that change didn’t happen until after the 7th Doctor’s era. They cared enough to clearly show the change in design in Twice Upon a Time, so that should rule out an incarnation before the 1st Doctor.

I thought it was going to be about the practice of abridging books!

Come on, we don’t need another animated Klaus Barbie biopic.  Come up with some new ideas, Hollywood!

Who?
