I got into watching it because my mom's been watching it since I was a kid (so I guess it's been on since at least 1979), and I really like the nature segments at the end. And since I'm not a church-goer (the closest nature-loving Unitarians are ten miles away), it's a pleasant way to spend the morning.

I love when Columbo would do that—Patrick McGoohan and Robert Culp made the best murderers.

A lot of people bring up The Last Temptation of Christ—and rightly so—but I'll add Children of Men.

deleted, because fuck it, I'm not going to get earnest about politics on here.

Oh man, I used to watch him and Rexella in the '90s. That's some quality nonsense.

Holy shit, I just looked this up, and it's ridiculous.

Oh yeah, the whole flashback sequence showing how the rats were captured and experimented on? I always watched that with my hands over my eyes. Terrified me as a kid. So did the Great Owl.

13 hours staring at Oscar Issac?

Canadians get angry about something other than hockey? Maybe I *shouldn't* move to Cape Breton when Emperor Trump seizes the throne.

Yes. Which isn't a bad thing, unless you have to make a living off it.

OH GOD, ACHEWOOD IS BACK!?!?

Also, the rating inflation just reminds me of how women's clothing sizing has inflated; I was buying jeans this weekend, and I "went down a size", only I really didn't—they've just changed what the sizes mean again.

PG-13 shifted to being the old "PG", PG shifted to the old G, nobody does real G movies anymore,

As someone who, since childhood, was obsessed with both Grail lit and medieval legends like Prester John, Baudolino was pure catnip for me.
