Here’s an exclusive clip!!

Has the Guy Ritchie version of Holmes lived so vividly in the popular imagination that violent altercations are considered more vital to Holmesian characters than deductive powers?

... and video game.

I mean it makes total sense.

My controversial take here is that after watching Jodorowsky’s Dune, I think more adaptations should be helmed by directors who have never actually read the book.

So the options are:

Good god, comic books are fucking stupid.

I think this show is just fine.

When I think about this show, I think about the possibly apocryphal story of James Cameron pitching Aliens by just drawing an S next to ALIEN and then making it a dollar sign. Part of me imagines Favreau in the pitch to Disney, writing YODA on a chalkboard, pausing for effect, and then writing BABY in front of it.

I agree. Look, I’m a 46 year old American male; I love the movies (except the prequels). I grew up loving Star Wars. But it’s not...like...a lifestyle. There are plot holes, there is hokey writing at times...who cares? It’s sci fi fun.  People need to get some perspective. 

There’s a grand tradition of rich Americans buying British castles and dumping money into them, preserving what would otherwise have rotted away. The Astors and Anne Boleyn’s childhood home of Hever Castle springs to mind, for one.

GRRM should move to Detroit.  Plenty of land that needs to be redeveloped here, and I can think of about fifteen different castles in the area.

Finally! Good work, everyone! Take five, come back and we’ll take about Tenet or Mulan or whatever.

By this point, you have to give someone in this culture some credit for having books at all.

Ten years ago he was a big author for grad students in their twenties. Prior to that he was a big author for grad students in their twenties, and these days I think he’s mostly a big author for grad students in their twenties.

Okay, trying to bear-in-mind this Tweet is tongue-in-cheek, a few observations...

ooooh.
