Yes, I’m roughly mid-season 1. An the friend who suggested that series keeps telling me that things change, all while trying to avoid spoilers. It’s one of the reasons why I continue. (The AVClub also seems to refer to that series as something with more depth than the first episodes showed so far, so it’s also part of…

Trying to enjoy Fleabag. Failing so far. Watching it because of the takawaititism of phoebe waller-bridge (I’m a sucker for expressive faces and side glances), but this show lacks any relatability. For horrible people to make me laugh, they have to caricature something I relate to, and even the childish megalomania of…

How many such trials would be required to bankrupt it ?

It is immensely fun.

It’s not even the legs I would have chosen but ok.

I’ll... never attempt irony on the internet ever again.

(I was being a tad sarcastic. Adler/Moriarty get even more inflated roles in every each adaptation than cocaine.)

Nobody would guess the secret identity of that baby.

but surely — surely — there’s someone out there with a take on Sherlock Holmes that has something different to offer other than just making him a drug addict.

Spiritualism was just a novel branch of science in the eyes of Conan Doyle, it was more sci-fi (in the anticipation, hard science sense) than magics. A bit like the Holmes story where a guy turned into a gorilla hybrid because he injected monkey blood. And that was the point of that Challenger novel. Post-mortem…

Just a silly man who needs a shave and wears a fur coat.

I’ll turn my attention to that problem once I’ll get over captain America’s little wings.

Jay Leno ! Never watched him, but spotted him on tv once, decades ago, and still remember the generally cheerful half-american friend next to me telling me “this is the funniest man in the world”. He uttered that in a tone of such gloomy, deadpan, sarcastic contempt that to this day I still feel a wave of morbidity…

when DC and Marvel did their big “Let’s glue all our character together so we can have a Batman who is also Wolverine” Amalgam event back in the mid-’90s

Please please please let me design the Little Golden Book of Amnesty International !

I’m as much of a day-to-day animist as the next guy, but Her and Blade Runner may be the only two universes in which I’ve managed to believe in sentient AI (to some extent, and really, they dedicated the movie to earning it - in a way that Star Wars’ silly, comically obtuse robots never did). Even in Space Odyssey, I…

I’ve attempted to rewatch Under Siege a couple of days ago. I managed to stay on it until the point where Tommy Lee Jones makes a political speech and Steven Seagal is let out of the fridge. If I remember well, it only does downhill from there.
