That was in the sequel, which Dickens only wrote because he needed the money and actually kind of regretted.

If you didn’t enjoy or agree with his review, fine, but don’t make insinuations about Ignatiy’s motives that you can’t back up. I’ve been reading his reviews here for years, and he’s shown himself to be an intelligent, witty and knowledgeable critic who brings the same level of professionalism to his reviews of…

One thing I noticed about Alexis on my second time watching ‘Schitt’s Creek’ is that she’s actually the first of the family to properly accept her new situation and try to get a routine going. She starts running each day, she does her community service, she tries to get to know people in the town. For all her flaws,…

I don’t know what he “wants to see”, I can only speak to what I’ve observed in his writings, which always seem to contain some originality that wouldn’t be found in other reviews of the same film.

What I truly appreciate about the series is that, unlike normal sitcoms where major characters become stereotypes more and more as seasons continue, Schitt’s Creek’s have become less and less “a type” and feel almost like real humans who have learned from their misfortune and new life situation. And no catch phrases,…

It’s Daveed Diggs. And yes, he rocks.

Preferably a fruit wine from a local vintner who brings the muskmelon goodness to his oak Chardonnay and the dazzling peach crabapple to his Riesling Rioja.

OMG she seems soooo incredibly cool and thoughtful and kind. Great interview! It’s so gratifying when celebs you want to like are actually cool. 

This show was such a breath of fresh air and it’s nice to hear the actors encouraged the things about the show that made it so wonderful. Hearing that Eugene and Catherine steered their characters’ relationship towards something stable makes a huge difference in how the whole tone of the show is perceived.

Ahem.

Seth Rogen was on Howard Stern recently and they got to talking about Schitt’s Creek. This is his take on Catherine O’Hara, and I just love it. He effectively said that he likes to think of himself as irreverent and pushing the boundaries of comedy, and then he watches her work in Schitt’s Creek and he says of…

A fine fruit wine

Excellent choice with the Lunachicks track.

I prefer “Guns and Ships” to “Yorktown.” Leslie Odom Jr.’s intro (“GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICA’S FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMAN!”) and Kadeem Diggs’ lightning pace makes me want go out an pop a Brit in the mouth.

I enjoyed this when I saw it pre-lockdown in the UK, but I’m a bit of a Dickens-sceptic so I wasn’t concerned about the changes.

Iggy is a great critic, particularly when it comes to his pans. Most of those are for films that few like, but how that dislike is put into words raises his reviews above others.

Who can I fight to get rid of these garbage slideshows?

Dev Patel is such an inspired choice for David Copperfield. He often specializes in optimists knocked about by life. I would have figured Whishaw for Steerforth. But the longer Dickens novels are so perfectly suited to the miniseries format that the movie versions have to feel like they’re just zooming through…

By the way, there was a multi-night stage adaptation (with David played by Roger Rees) that tried to capture the length and intricacy of the novel. I think that has its own drawbacks.
