Yes but at least the current one didn’t represent a downgrade on the previous incumbent (which has been the overwhelming trend for some time). Still crap, but, you know, baby steps.

I’m guessing any version that doesn’t revolve around John-Boy Walton is bound to feel a bit more authentic.

I’ve never watched Documentary Now because I suspect I would never know what they are parodying. But Cate Blanchett and Harriet Walter is a hell of a draw.

It’s all part of the “anti-woke” culture wars (or what used to be characterised as “it’s political correctness gone mad”). Our Home Secretary (who resigned as Home Secretary 6 days ago after a security breach, but who today feels qualified to accept the same job) likes to rant about the “Guardian-reading, tofu-eating…

Nowhere. He was Doctor Who rather than The Doctor and had Tardis rather than The Tardis.

It’s also how decent people work as well.  But given it’s Hoffman...

This is giving off strong “Ross and Emily’s Wedding in Friends” vibes.

Kate Bush - Hammer Horror

In Hathaway’s case a lot of it comes from women, so while misogyny is obviously an element of it, it’s far from the whole story.

That’s generally the definition of a huge star.

The “line” is a dot to these people, to paraphrase Joey in Friends.

I’d heard that as well, but I don’t think it stands up as she was originally cast just to be a dead body and a homecoming queen photo. But then Lynch gradually discovered she was a decent actor and started building up her part, first through flashbacks, then as Maddie, and then in Fire Walk With Me. Obviously Lynch…
