I absolutely want to see Ian Holm as Norrell. I don't think anyone else would satisfy me. *Edit: Except Derek Jacobi. He'd do it for me too. Cumberdatch would be great as Strange.

Personally, the show didn't grab me until the end of the first season. I know I'm in the minority there though.

Haha — actually the Nicole Kidman one was called BMX Bandits... Not to be confused with The BMX Bandit, a character from That Mitchell and Webb Look. :D

Hmm...No, I'm not seeing it. I don't have DVDs on my plan, so the search results it gives me are limited to streaming.

This post led me to do a quick search which revealed that neither Netflix nor Amazon has Primer on streaming video. Frustrated!

Sometimes, when I'm shoveling snow and it's 30 degrees outside, I resent that I wasn't born someplace that's warm year-round.

GuanoLad, could you supply a link to that blog post? The three actors you mention are spot-on IMO, I'd love to read your thoughts on the rest!

The first time I read it, it honestly didn't occur to me that Pi was "revealing a twist" — I thought he was posing a hypothetical just like he said he was. He gave them the real version and a "believable" version, and does a story have to be believable to be true? I think the movie could just as well handle it that…

That's funny, I always think of him as Leo Bardonaro from M*A*S*H. Only in one episode, but it was a good one.

I have to say I'm a little relieved that I'm not the only one who was bored by JDatE.

For anyone who likes The King in Yellow (and Lovecraft of course) I have to throw a shout out for Algernon Blackwood. Very creepy stuff.

Oh wow! I remember reading Sin Titulo *years* ago. I lost track when progress lapsed for a while...good to hear it's completed. I'll have to go catch up on all of the TX stories now!

Thinking about it this way actually clarifies things a lot I think. Thank you!

There's actually a theory out there that kind of makes Signs "Water weakness" issue totally make sense — http://tinyurl.com/cxrufuv

This was exactly my reaction...he would be amazing!

I think actually what bothers me most is the fact that they come out in the dark and wander around your face. They can explode poop, as long as they stay in there where I can ignore them.

Great post! ...but I can't believe you didn't include his painting "Vision of Faust", which actually looks like it should be concept art for a Sam Raimi film :)

(and yes, I realize I can find plenty of uncut penises on the interwebs for my edification...I've just never gotten around to it)

I agree, this is an issue in *serious* need of education initiatives. I hate to admit this, but as a heterosexual adult male, I only have a vague idea of what a foreskin even *looks* like. I remember being a pre/early teen, when I first heard about circumcision — with no frame of reference, it took me a while to…

I agree that reducing the size of the container/vessel helps a lot. I use my kids' cereal bowls in the morning to keep myself from eating half a box of granola.
