Don’t Look Now is so good but so strange. The ending is completely bonkers, but it grows on you over time.

That movie had so much texture and charm. The baddie cracked me up. 

We need Brandon Sanderson to swoop in and put a bow on things. 

The sixth movie is really lovely - easily the best-looking of all the films.

I dislike the bland and colorless directorial stylings of David Yates, but the third and fourth movies were fantastic and I wish they had kept going in that direction, hiring a different auteur to make each film.

We also learned this week that she has a new novella coming out in October. Good week for fans of the world's best living author! 

Coco and Luca were two of their best movies and I worry that we’ll never get another film like them.

My fiancee and I were searching for a place to stream the six-hour 1987 version of Little Dorrit with Derek Jacobi and Sir Alec Guinness, and we were surprised to find it on Tubi.

I don’t think Martin is very good at estimating how much story he can fit into a book, haha.

They should have a fishmonger who sells singing fish that put Alicent into an enchanted sleep.

I still wish we had gotten a full season with the Walkers in charge of Westeros and the surviving characters forming an insurgency to defeat them, similar to the final season of Fringe. It seems like this is what Martin had in mind before the showrunners decided they would rather make a Star Wars.

The one thing that gives me hope for the youths is that they seem to have no love for this AI garbage. They call machine-generated art “boomer art” and consider it cringe as hell.

Me too! After Agatha, J. D. Carr is probably my favorite mystery novelist. I love that his books are slowly coming back into print but it’s a shame he isn’t more widely known. There needs to be a Gideon Fell TV series.

It’s true that he played the character a little broad, but the third movie is so exceptional on all levels that you hardly notice. I wish Yates had made fewer movies and Cuaron had made more.

I know the Classic seasons are available on Britbox, but I do wish Disney would stream them so that Pertwee and so forth could find a wider audience.

I remember Nilus once saying that Fantastic Beasts was like if J. K. Rowling caught half an episode of Doctor Who at a pub and the volume was turned down but she got the gist and now we have the Doctor but he’s a wizard and maybe autistic.

I only recently learned that Tolkien lifted that poem from an actual Old English poem, and Bernard Hill gave it gravitas befitting an Anglo-Saxon warlord. Truly an image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. 

I could’ve sworn this had Shailene Woodley and that the fourth movie was cancelled but it turns out that was Divergent.

There are so many fantastic authors currently writing. I recommend Susanna Clarke, to start with. 

Only a matter of time before they start blaming the Jews!
