A) Your grandma’s right!
I agree with your grandmother. Why do we even need another Poirot? Just show a re-run with Suchet in the role. That way everybody gets a real Poirot, the quality is first rate, and the look is perfect. Win win.
I need to see this purse!
I would have sworn I wrote this. Are you me? Because this is exactly what I was coming to write.
I’m still heated that they got rid of the old Masterpiece Theater opening credits.
Zoe Wanamaker was perfect as Ariadne.
Branagh’s, I think, trying to amp up the eccentric look of Poirot, whilst also making him more youthful and athletic seeming.
Hear hear.
I loved Ariadne because Christie was making total fun of both herself and her most famous creation.
Remember this?
Especially when you consider Ariadne’s habit of plucking apples out of the bosom of her dresses, polishing them and eating them with abandon...
Kelly, I think you misunderstood: THIS IS AN ORIGIN STORY.
I AM a Poirot superfan (actually Agatha superfan, I own every single book she’s written including the atrocious romance novels she wrote under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott). I’m such a superfan in fact that my purse has WWPD printed on one side and WWMMD on the other- Agatha fans will get what this means ; ) Greatest…
There is a detective from the Agatha Christie oeuvre for whom Branagh’s look would be appropriate: Sven Hjerson, the fictional Finnish detective created by Ariadne Oliver (Christie’s avatar within her own novels, which is some pomo shit when you really think about it).
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
That looks like 8-year-old me trying to give myself a moustache by holding the dog’s tail over my upper lip. And the goatee looks like grey paint.
He seems less the rotund Belgian and more the guy at the state fair who has the T-shirt that reads “Free Mustache Rides!”
the fuck indeed. suchet owns poirot so it cant be easy replacing him but kenneth looks ridiculous
