If this is where they go with it, that would make the casting decision completely logical.

I know Tennant is Scottish - my criticism was that they have two Scottish characters but only actually cast a Scot for one of the two. This was further exacerbated by my original misreading of the cast list, where I thought they had Craig Ferguson (a well known Scot in the American industry), but instead they had…

I had gotten this far thinking that Glomgold was going to be played by Craig Ferguson, but found out pretty quickly once watching that it was actually KEITH Ferguson. Quite disappointed they couldn't find two Scottish actors for the respective roles - there are plenty of us. Nonetheless I enjoyed the premiere and look…

There's a significant difference though. In the UK the mines were nationally owned and heavily subsidised. They only became privately owned in 1994. Thatcher and her government chose to strip many towns that depended on mining of their entire livelihood because it was deemed to be costing the government too much…

Frasier was arguably better than Cheers, but this is certainly shaping up to be a very high calibre spin-off.

We also don't know their situation, there could be inheritance concerns since they clearly don't have other children. At the very least they had enough money to go through with this controversial and expensive procedure, so it's not out of the question that there may be a significant amount that this baby would have a…

The Itchy and Scratchy thing really annoyed me. It was an easy opportunity to make a reference to the episode's 1992 throwback, but instead they made it a parody of a show that didn't air until 2005. I mean, that took all of 10 seconds to look up, and they still didn't bother.

That is the only shot in the entire movie that truly irked me. There were weird choices throughout, some of which worked and some of which didn't (though I loved the film overall), but that final pool shot with the speed of rotation ramping up and then the awkward jerky movement to look up at the fireworks just… ugh.…

Nah, once both parties are really onto it, you end up with a situation where "President" is basically a figurehead position and all the relevant duties are carried out by their more politically experienced vice president. Trump quite possibly will be the last "real" president, and not all scenarios where that is true…

I find it amazing how many of Black's projects don't just feature gay characters but are entirely about gayness. As a gay male myself, I don't in any way want to diminish the variety of relationships we now see portrayed on screen, but its beginning to feel a little like Black has no other real interests, and that…

Wow, you finally "checked in" on Nashville again, because EW/Variety told you to, and what had happened. Great work, AVClub.

When "Mexican Coke" started hitting the internet it really made me laugh, because it got hyped so much in the US that people here in the UK started talking about it as if it was this amazing thing you had to try. And I'm just like "Mexican Coke and British Coke are basically the same thing, the only reason it's…

It is undeniable that Cathy really gets all the best songs in that show. I still adore it though.

There is no "next President". President Cheeto will establish himself as a dictatorial force and remove the democratic right to vote.

My favourite thing about the Spicer sketch was the fact that the "brown skinned" Moana is, in fact, Hawaiian. Nice choice on the part of the sketch writers to show that both dolls are in fact entirely legitimate (if fictitious) American citizens.

Here in the UK, 6 episodes is a pretty common series/season length.

That depends on what Japanese television you choose to watch. I've watched plenty of shows that were 10 episodes or fewer.

That seems unnecessarily harsh. It might be because trying to maintain a believable accent while singing is much harder than when just talking, and Louis is still very inexperienced. Personally I think he did a damn good job in this series, though his acting does seem to have split viewers' opinions.

Worked on my 54 year old mother too. We actually had to pause the stream for a moment so I could confirm that what she'd seen was correct and she hadn't just missed something significant somewhere.

We either need a reviewer who REALLY knows the books and actually has reread them, or someone who doesn't know the books AT ALL and is experiencing this all fresh. The "oh I know what's happening a bit from vague memories of a decade ago" attitude we seem to get in these reviews is exactly the worst place to…
