We begin our new episode of Game of Thrones in the BWB Batcave, where Thoros is leading evening prayers and Lord Beric is getting into character in preparation for Sandor Clegane’s trial by (wait for it) FIRE! First off, if this is supposed to be a fair fight in the eyes of the Red God, […]
We open this week’s episode of Doctor Who on the Nostromo/Nebuchadnezzar, or rather, the dingy greenish interior of a spaceship with grouchy dudes arguing about salvage. One of them is an android, one’s sleeping. And I’m guessing two of them are the Van Baalen bros., so one plays guitar and the other drums. Doc & […]
We can do this. There are only two more episodes that we have to sit through in this season. What happened to us, The Following? In the beginning we were all, hey, what’s up. And now we’re all, please make it stop. Where did we go so wrong? I thought we had something special. I […]
It could be that GRRM has a thing about hands. Hand of the King, Half-hand, Short-hand, you see where I’m going. And now we have Jaime with his hand strung around his neck, in a revolting parody of his dad’s badge of office. Ruthven’s boys are making dreary sport of him, for all he gives […]
We open in 1974, and this being England, it could pass for any time from 1950 to 1978 to me. If we’re in Scotland, my apologies. Anyway, drafty country estate, roomful of mad scientist electronics, Doctor and his lovely assistant at work on a mystery. No, not The Doctor, some other chap in cool glasses. […]
I live in the heart of Hollywood and there is tons of commercial space for rent here right now. I am surprised at how many places have been trying to get a tenant without success for as long as they have. Except that places which have been empty for literally years still have asking prices […]
It might seem like a tautology to say that tragedy journalism makes me sad. But it makes me sad beyond just what is awful about it. Of course, I feel bad when I see that a plant in Waco exploded to disastrous result and the graphic images of people who were the victims of random […]
Alright, The Following. You started out strong and you’ve slowly petered out to drivel where you don’t let your female characters do anything but suck. I do not approve. Remember when our plucky FBI cult expert did stuff? Now she just stands in the background and looks concerned. Come on guys, you can do better […]
We open with the viking funeral of Cat’s dad. Doing the honors with the fire arrow is the sinister 2nd in command to Capt. Davos in last night’s Doctor Who. He’s having no better luck here, and after 3 misses gets roughly relieved of duty. (And totally owned.) And we have a debrief with Robbo, […]
