So, I've majorly been getting into the BBC Sherlock series lately and I love it. I think it remixes and modernizes the Doyle stories in a way that feels organic and I love the writing and direction (although the second episode of the first season kind of sucked) and Benedict Cumberbatch is great, etc. I like it so much I have behaved badly, in that ( Read more... )

Rosenbaum doesn't so much bring light to interesting debates so much as firmly take one side, slobber over the ( Read more... )

So ... I haven't been posting much. The new year hasn't gotten off to a rip-roaring start. Not that good things haven't happened. I had a lovely visit from cyberweasel recently, but I've been tired by work and unsatisfied creatively and I'm not sure what to do about that ( Read more... )

So today I finally sent my Pink Flamingos disc back to Netflix. Because it takes me forever to watch ANYTHING on Netflix.

I wonder how the movie screwed ( Read more... )

So I took this meme from htbthomasGo to Wikipedia (as the most convenient resource), and copy the list of movies that were released in the year when you were 12 years old. Mark ( Read more... )
