Eldrad must live!!!

oh, Medusa Thurman is supposed to be the high point; tragic that she’s only in the movie for about three minutes.

The low point was Centaur Pierce Brosnan finding out that Percy had disobeyed an order and proudly saying “That is why you are my favorite student!” The low point was Medusa Uma Thurman intoning, “Son of Poseidon, I once dated your daddy!”

You’re fine! I figured you knew, since you seem to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the era.

and The Thing! and Blade Runner!

This is easily one of Agatha’s weirdest novels. The chickens!

maybe the Silurians from Doctor Who are trying to kill us all.

in one hundred years a Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction-type show will have a segment featuring Dean Koontz (dressed like someone from the 1920s) writing this into a book because of a dream he had, and his editor yelling “it will never happen!” (this happened in the segment featuring that guy who “predicted” the sinking…

I follow the blog of a very popular conservative blogger who is a bit superstitious and for the past several weeks he has been breathlessly posting “Buddhist prophecies” from the early twentieth century warning that “in the year 2020" China will be ravaged by a great plague, followed by a locust invasion and massive…

People are acting like they’ve never heard of the rapping dog in a basketball jersey who sang “IT’S PARTY TIME” on the Titanic. (I just read the first chapter of this book on amazon and immediately bought it for my adult sister, who has a very dark sense of humor. We both have a thing for anachronistic dogs in…

as a fan of Inspector Morse, Lewis and Endeavour I joke about Oxford being the murder capital of the world, so it’s gratifying to know that the shows got it exactly right.

Can you believe Laurence Olivier was only in his mid-thirties? Reportedly David O. Selznick, never one for subtlety, wanted the movie to end with a giant “R” appearing out of the smoke and ruin. Hitchcock told him he could go stuff it.

Give him time.

I miss the old days when we only had a *slightly* terrifying crypto-fascist in the Oval Office.

I’ll go ahead and say it: The Last Jedi was the best installment since The Empire Strikes back. I hope Rian Johnson gets to write or direct multiple future entries.

Right, having the theme of a story spoken by the villain is a weird thing to criticize. Read your Flannery O’Connor.

As a massive fan of British mysteries (Poirot, Morse, Endeavour), I’m more excited for this than I am for the next star war.

The music of The Handsome Family! (I know they were featured on True Detective, but still). Endeavour! Inside No. 9!

So far every end-of-the-decade film list published by a major outlet has placed Fury Road at number one. Every single one. I’m starting to expect it at this point.

I’m glad to see Boyhood and The Tree of Life (my two favorite films) and Lady Bird and The Master on here. It was a wonderful decade for coming-of-age…

Did anyone else get “Endeavour” vibes from the structure of the episode and the spy subplot?
