Yeah, I find I tend to listen to the post-Berry albums the most these days too.
I've been obsessed with Reveal again this summer.
I also quite like Around The Sun - Boy in the Well, High Speed Train, The Ascent of Man - Micheal's voice and the weird kind of hip dirge quality the songs have hit the right spot for me.

Lol. I once had someone ask for something to look "more holy" and of course if I could make the white more white…

That is one of my greatest pet peeves with movies, tv… showing artists/designers creating amazing work so incredibly fast, with so little effort. One that sticks in my mind is from Parks & Rec, Jerry (not even a professional artist, just a guy working in an office) painted an entire large painting overnight! It takes…

I'll have to see some of those movies, I am a fan of Jupiter Ascending and 47 Ronin & loved The Lone Ranger and am constantly trying to get friends who are into that kind of movie to see it.

I read it on a Nook & footnotes were intact. They were at the end of the book.

Yes, now in retrospect, the scene where she goes under in the bathtub and we see her body floating in the sea could be read as a drug allusion. As someone who has done my fair share of drugs that is a spot-on metaphor.

Mads was a dancer when he was younger. That training and physicality definitely raises his portrayal.

It's not as clear on the show, but the fact Childermass is a servant and Laschelles a gentleman has serious implications. Norrell cannot allow a servant to be a friend/equal, so he is left with Laschelles as his only friend. Laschelles is a creep and uses his place as Norrell's only friend to manipulate (a trapped,…

Yes, that bothered me a little in the review. He went to Fairie. Lost Hope is just one place in the realm called Fairie.

The book is one of my favorites too. I spend a lot of time on public transit & have read it a few times. I think the show is quite fun & well done. As said, the acting is wonderful, seeing the characters come to life. I actually thought the "break-up" scene in this episode between Strange & Norrell was very affecting.…

Agree so much about reviewing the show on it's own merits, it's the same problem I have with what the Game of Thrones experts reviews have become. I love the book & have read it several times, but I am taking the show on it's own and loving it. I just watched ep 6 and it is intense. Even though I know how things are…

I thought that final line was brilliant too. I love the show's sense of humor… and pretty much everything else about it.

Yes, this is something that I had to face when I first moved into a black neighborhood about 20 years ago. I am someone who really does not believe in judging someone based on the color of their skin, but when I first moved into the neighborhood, I found all these subconcious feelings coming up, like feeling nervous…
