Crossbones is odd. Very odd. John Malkovich playing Blackbeard odd. I mean, I liked it, but sometimes, I’m not sure why I liked it. Great cast, though, and Claire Foy was wonderful - she is a major reason why I watched Wolf Hall.

Where’s the Lucifer review?

It’s more of a calling ...

About his time guest-starring his way through 80s and 90s TV — he did a TON of Murder, She Wrote eps, playing the sympathetic murderer to red herring to foreign agent crossing paths with JB. It was evident that Angela Lansbury really liked working with him and they had great chemistry on-screen.

If you’re into 50s & 60s R&B, Ruth Brown (who played Motormouth Mabel in the movie) did some really fun songs and had a fabulous voice.

Finally saw Black Panther. I know I like it immensely ... I think I love it. The characters are interesting and have personality, the conflicts have weight, the sense of history, which choices made and consequences flowing from them feeling real. The performances are so very good - but I have to say that Winston Duke…

Take heart - if it’s a delusion, it’s a mass one!

This was quite the fun episode, even though I’m only a casual watcher - I’ll binge this show from S2 on one of these days, I hope.

I have no idea if this is actually up my alley, but I just adore Potter’s The Tango Lesson, so perhaps I will attempt to see it.

Somehow, I’ve never read nor watched any version of David Copperfield. Oliver Twist ... Nicholas Nickelby ... Little Dorrit ... no Copperfield. Perhaps this will be my first.

Was it in Japan? Corn on pizza is very popular in Japan.

It took bare male crotch (although without standard accessories) on SyFy’s Happy! to make AMC realize they could add some nudity? Because it’s surprising that they haven’t done it before. Just have the sensitive bits blasted off/rotted away/completely covered with gore ...

Makes sense to me. There’s the music that slips me into a certain warm, fuzzy, familiar groove, and much of it is older - MJ, Bowie, Prince, U2, Madonna, the Smiths, Duran Duran - even if I liked their newer hits, it was the stuff I heard in junior high that softened them up for me. The stuff from my 20s have become…

I think of Adam’s Rib as the quintessential Tracy & Hepburn.

As a Tears for Fears fan ... that was awesome!

For some reason, I thought he was older, just younger-looking. Dang it.

I love weird covers. But this ... I can’t even.

Having only seen Richard Brooks in roles like Paul Robinette* - seeing him go full on goofy as Ralph-as-Wolfe was a thing of meta-beauty (pun intended).

This is good.

If you haven’t heard this, you’ll enjoy it muchly.
