PBS, now is your chance to be a hero and fund a 3rd season of "In the Flesh." You can do it!

Understandable.
…she plays the AD on the fake game show, so I assume this is a joke.
I'm glad this popped up, because I spent all weekend horrified by this film. I purposely tried to know as little as possible about the novel going in and had only seen the trailer, since I didn't want to be spoiled. I trusted the pedigree of the film's actors and creators would mean the movie was worth watching…
The original canon stories have their moments of racism, but some of them are surprisingly not terrible. The Adventure of the Yellow Face, for instance, sounds like it should be some racist bullshit but it's pretty heart-warming. It file this under: *shrug*, could be worse.
Dowd gets at it a bit with the Chinese sex worker, but the whole journey is based around leaving his girlfriend in England without an explanation (who basically has been his mother, because Hector is a man child) so he can go after his old flame, despite the fact that she's happily married with 2 kids. The women are…
This is the most offensive film I've seen in a long time. More than just the window-shopping of poor people's lives, it's also horribly misogynistic. This entire movie can by summed up with "2 hours of a rich white dude's mastubatory fantasy." Horrifying. C- is too kind; I can't believe this film was made in 2014.
Not sure whether to be proud or ashamed of fandom, most of the time.
John's sister.
Ah, fawnlock. There's also star!John. And swan!lock. And… pretty much everything. My favorite is Lobsteriarty.
It would be great if AV Club considered reviewing first episodes of more high profile web series, like Hulu's "Deadbeat." There's a bunch, but the real prestige stuff only falls once a month or so. If Orange is the New Black gets reviews, I don't see why Amazon/Hulu stuff shouldn't.
Bouncy castle.
After all the accusations of the CIA editing Zero Dark Thirty, I couldn't help but feel that the State Department felt the need to insert some scenes into this one in order to make sure we knew the TRUE DAMAGE that Assange had wrought. You know, so he didn't seem like too much of a good guy.
If you watch the movie they'll give you a whole monologue about it! (Save me from films that state their titles in the script.) But the 4th estate is journalism, not beholden to church or king, and the 5th estate is beyond journalism and on the web, not beholden to anyone because no one can police it.
I would definitely have preferred this movie as coming from The Guardian's POV, since that seemed to be what the majority of their source material was from as it is. The screenplay is just so inept I can't even call it character assassination— everyone looks ridiculous.
God, the film was just garbage. I'm a fan of Mr. Cumberbatch (did you guess by my icon?) but I would have been better off saving my money. I'm not sure if there's a way to make a truly interesting biopic of such a recent event, since it lacks perspective, but they did quite a bad job of it. Maybe if Daniel (who's last…
Before YA was a thing, I found the misogyny running rampant throughout fantasy books really difficult to wade through. I'd pick up books that sounded good by the back cover and discover they were either romance novels (which just isn't appealing to a kid…) or fantasy adult novels that didn't know how to create a…
It is pretty dark, but it didn't seem noticeably different to me. Especially since Lestrade has been stranded in the same corridor since The Great Game…
It was a mistake spread by one of the big fansites— that is definitely s3 footage; Mark Gatiss confirmed it. (And you don't remember the shadowy dark footage? Cause it's absolutely there in previous seasons…)
I still sob about it sometimes. (There weren't even any time zombies! Come on!)
