    Fun The Holiday Season

    I was telling someone recently that I know I have hit "that age". I used to know all of the musical acts on the NYE shows, and now there are one or two I know, much less like, and the rest of them I sit there and go "who". Getting old sucks.

    Poll The Golden Globes

    I have both, and both come in very useful. My biggest complaint about Hulu is having to sit though commercials (I know, I can pay extra to not deal with them, but they get enough of my money).

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I believe the soy thing started on Info Wars, which makes Fox News look like distinguished journalism. And while true that soy does produce estrogen in men, it's a very small amount. We're talking about percentages so low they don't even count. But add that to the fact that "librul soshulists"...

    It's on Netflix if you have it. I would give you my password, but Mrs. Chainsaw might have my head. :emoji_wink:

    Fun The Holiday Season

    Anyone have any New Year's Eve plans? Parties, gatherings, drunken debauchery, sitting along in a bean bag covered in Vaseline watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show? (Don't judge me!!!) When I was in high school, my friends and our familes would all get together and have a party, snack foods...

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    I will say this about season 17, and that's the fact that it has one of my favorite Tom stories in it, City of Death. But I think overall... Took the words right out of my mouth, mate.

    Review Doctor Who (2005)

    I think the match of Tennant and RTD was brilliant. Russel knew how to write for David, and in turn, David was able to do his prose justice. I think if David had stayed on after RTD left, Moffat might have had a better go of it. Moffat proved time and again he could write great stories - Blink...

    News Elm Street Reboot

    Horror remakes are tricky, I think even more so than any other remake. This is pretty much due to the fanbase. Most of us in the horror fandom love the movies no matter how old or dated they look, how bad the effects have aged, or how terrible the acting may have been. We just appreciate the...

    Review The Curse of La Llorona (2019)

    This one is on my watch list. Looks great.

    Poll The Golden Globes

    Wow. I'm in good company here, as I haven't seen a majority of these either. Obviously, I'm rooting for Black Panther to get any awards it's up for, and I'm screaming that it gets a Best Picture nod but no nods for Director or acting. My son saw Bohemian Rhapsody, and loved it, so I'll support...

    Review Classic Doctor Who

    Colin's tenure is an, erm, acquired taste, so be forewarned. Personally, I love Sylvester's work on the show, but it's bumpy. The first season is hampered by slapstick and, well, Mel. The rest is really ambitious, and there are some really great things going on, but sometimes the ambition is...

    Review Not Another ****ing Remake?!?

    Did we learn nothing? Oh, what am I even saying, it's Hollywood, of course they learned nothing.

    Review Racism

    What the hell is wrong with everyone? We seem to be seeing far too many of these stories lately. And the fact that you still have people denying that racism is a problem, but is just exacerbated by the the media is worrying.

    Curse you! We agreed never to speak that name again! 1000 lashes with an overcooked strand of spaghetti!

    Review The Snowmen (2012)

    Found on the IMDb trivia, so take it with a grain of salt: "The original concept for the new companion was that she would be a Victorian governess named Beryl. Over the next few months, however, the production team reconsidered the difficulty of writing for a regular character who was more than...

    Review The Husbands of River Song (2015)

    There are things about this one I absolutely love. The "Hello Sweetie" scene, the final scene, and a lot of the banter between the Doctor and River along the way. The story itself feels like it's had a lot rammed in there, and isn't the finest of viewings. But Alex Kingston makes it more...

    Review A Christmas Carol (2010)

    Mmmmm....Katherine Jenkins. That blond hair and beautiful smile and...wait, where was I? Not absolutely brilliant, but enjoyable. The Doctor tries to use Dickens' story to change an old miser, only for it to backfire when he becomes a miser for a different reason. Of course, the best part of...

    Review The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe (2011)

    Gave this one a reviewing last night, and it still holds up for me, even if Matt does give more than his usual all. The story is pretty tight, taking inspiration from CS Lewis, but going in a sci-fi direction instead of a Xtian allegory. And maybe it's because it's a Christmas special, but...

    Review The Return of Doctor Mysterio (2016)

    Rewatching this tonight, and still love it. It's a little rough in spots, and I may be blinded by my unabashed love for all things tights and fights, but damn if this special doesn't put a smile on my face.
