What?!

Too hopeful.

There's also a monthly plan, so you can binge a few series and cancel.

Maybe Quaid can be reincarnated and wake up in Pandorum 2. I'd much prefer that over this sort of thing.

"…Mia never wears pants…"

That static long-shot reminded me of those animated frescoes from the title sequence…the way the framing relegates the Prime Minister (or figures, in the paintings) to their own little world, nearly oblivious to what's going on elsewhere. It seems like a recurring motif: the nuns gardening or waking from a nap, the…

Maybe horror could sneak in under Best Foreign Language Film; say, The Wailing, or Creepy? (Both of which I thought transcended their genre.)

I've been in biostasis and must have missed it: are there only to be 3 "canonical" follow-ups?

I braced for the worst when I decided to re-watch, knowing how that typically plays out. On balance, though, I thought it held up surprisingly well. What really shocked me was how quickly it got up to speed and gained confidence in the format; it's smartly self-aware without ever feeling intrusive. (I did drop out…

Yeah, same offbeat style. But that, combined with the creaky special effects, makes this sometimes hard to watch.

I watched this on Prime last night. I really got the impression that the producers were skeptical of the entire phenomenon, but nodded a bit in the direction of there being some legitimate weirdness, if only to keep some of the interviewees talking (e.g. Linda Moulton Howe.)

Who let the dogs out?

The opening of Elton John's "Funeral for a Friend" is pretty awesome. ("…performed on ARP synthesizer by the album's engineer, David Hentschel" Thanks, Wikipedia!)

I Dream of Wires (currently on Netflix) is another pretty good doc on the evolution (and resurgence) of electronic music, with an emphasis on modular synths.

That's a shame.

Between the beard and the baggage, I'm thinking Riker.

Does Lenny backpedal a bit? When he's speaking with the head of Marketing, he clearly outlines his strategy, but later seems to vacillate, and almost seems ready to read the prepared homily…which at one point he's practicing. But by the end of the episode, he's back to the Pope of fire, brimstone and silhouettes.…
