Yeah, I’d say that’s about right. Honestly, some of those Loose Cannon/telesnap recreations were mesmerizing, and really made me wish they could locate the source material. Especially when there was maybe one episode intact. Others were like listening to insomniacs on barbiturates.

Just so you’re prepared: it took me about four years (I finished just as the lockdowns started) to watch every single moment of televised Doctor Who and all the little add-ons, not including the rebooted seasons that I’d already watched wwhenile they were broadcast.

I’m sure you’re prepared for a slow visual pace in…

This entire thread is full of people making a mountain out of a mohel.

The entire reason it’s set in Rio is so they could skate on more stringent sex laws about women her age, so yeah. But I agree: if you can put that out of your mind (good luck), it’s a delightful farce.

How did Michelle Johnson feel about his boundaries? I mean, she was fucking at least one of the producers at the time, but she and Demi have rarely had anything good to say about that particular film (which is unfortunate, because it was hilarious, and I wish I could rewatch it without wondering). Does she? She’d…

Or, y’know, maybe.

Oh, she’s totally gonna die.

But god, the scale of this. So very much lost in Chibnall’s anemic first two seasons (I’ll let him off on the COVID season, even though it still sucked).

No chance that The Marvels comes out without its three leads being able to do press. An optimist might conclude that Disney’s quietly signaling they’ll have a deal by then, but I’m not that optimistic.

St-Denis, Ste-Geneviève, and St-Marcel. Plus for one specific portion of Paris, St-Germain.

I haven’t stopped seeing her live, so I’m well aware.

I saw Tori Amos perform perhaps thirty-ish times in the first few years of her career. Every single night she performed “Me and a Gun,” it was always exactly as harrowing as one would think and as she intended, and I always wondered what our difference in strength was; I was roughed up listening to it, yet she not…

I think the issue’s different. I think there were a handful of discrete plots in the movie. Some were very heavy but compelling. Some were pure comedy yet also compelling. Waititi failed to meld them into a narrative. The whole movie feels like a series of sketches, a la Monty Python, and there’s no Terry Gilliam to…

I’d put a fair bit of money behind the proposition that T’Challa was supposed to be one of them.

io9 reveals something that the only actual audience for this news has known for decades. Cool.

That’s from the Kennedy Center Honors, not the RnRHoF.

Incoherent.

Duncan Idaho’s arc in the Dune saga: die, make an Atreides girl horny, kill an Atreides except not really and then stuff happens, have sex with an Atreides girl, die, die several hundred more times, make a different Atreides woman horny, kill an Atreides for real...and then we’re going to pretend that the last two…

Sure. I mean, if he really wants to perfect death scenes...

JFC that’s beautiful. Visually breathtaking. I have no idea what kind of story they’re going to tell — certainly not the one they intended to — but my god does Coogler paint a picture.

Exactly my reaction to the books.
