is this by any chance related to the masterful 1961 horror film The Innocents, itself loosely based on The Turn of the Screw?

“no other object has been misidentified as a flying saucer more often than the planet VENUS”

Everything Everywhere was great!

Peter Capaldi’s run is deeply underappreciated; watch Face the Heaven and Heaven Sent if you haven’t yet.

do yourself a favor and watch Paddington 2, he’s excellent

there’s an alternate world with a much worse version of Fantastic Beasts helmed by Matt Smith.

I’m old enough to remember the Slate essay predicting that “Avatar will suck” because “cats with human boobs suck.”

I’m surprised no one listed Mark Lewisohn’s ongoing series of books about the Beatles. It’s almost Tolstoyan in its level of detail. The first book is 1,700 pages long and ends with the recording of “Love Me Do” in 1962.

I need to also give a special mention to “In the All-Night Cafe,” a memoir by Stuart David of his…

wait, so the whole series takes place during the sixties? when he’s in hibernation?

She was in an episode of Poirot (Murder on the Blue Train), she’s so hot!

Ian did an audio recording of Paradise Lost in which he played Lucifer and it’s fantastic.

from their latter-day albums, “Let There Be Love” is probably their best song. and Noel has written several bangers as a solo artist!

I know they were all very high on cocaine when they made this album, but “Stand by Me” is still one of my favorite songs ever. and “All Around the World” is goofy and overblown and kind of great!

I remember my mother’s then-boyfriend warning us not to watch The Fresh Prince because it was “Black propaganda.” We watched it anyway.

I love that the band pretends they've never heard the song before, despite it being exactly their kind of song 

I love their song "She's Got All the Friends that Money Can Buy." they just had a knack for jams 

there’s actually a massive Agatha Christie fandom on twitter!

Rylance’s portrayal of Halliday was the heart and soul of the movie, for me; arguably the most affecting and realistic portrayal of autism in a major film.

yeah, maybe listen to Jewish people when they tell you antisemitism can be a problem on the left?

now they just need to acquire Classic Doctor Who so I can cancel Britbox
