    Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)

    As everybody should. And a happy Walpurgisnacht/May Day to you, m'lady!

    Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)

    I dig older country music. Johnny, Willie, Waylon, Merle...but modern country is lost on me. That and most top 40 radio pop. Other than that, my musical taste is pretty eclectic. Rock, metal, blues, jazz, Motown, just about anything.

    Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)

    This. This just...I used to work with this guy who was Mr. Jock in high school, and would constantly chide me for my love of nerd culture (and thought I needed to give up listening to metal and start being a country boy, and I told him to fuck off). He went on one day about "Why should I read a...

    Review I want to BE River Song when I grow up and other timey whimey Doc. Who things!

    Damn. I was hoping to call dibs on that one. I will, then, take the wood panel console room from Tom Baker's run. There's something very comforting about that one. Not only do they never remember the name, but neither 10 nor 11 have any idea what they do, when 5 and 6 were both seen pulling one...

    Review Thin Ice (2017)

    You could always have Cronenberg direct it and do it practical.

    Review I want to BE River Song when I grow up and other timey whimey Doc. Who things!

    I have my time with The Doctor all planned out. I'll hit the dates of release of all of the premiere comic book issues (Action #1, Detective Comics #27, Amazing Tales #15, etc.). Two issues each, one for me, and one to sell. Then, I want to find Jack the Ripper. I just have to know. Then into...

    Review Thin Ice (2017)

    Absolutely! It's time to see more action from The Doctor. If this exchange doesn't happen, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

    Review American Gods (2016)

    Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)

    @Gavin You mean to say that it doesn't pain you that they cut all of the S.P.E.W. storyline out of the film? :emoji_grinning:

    Review Cartoons

    Great. I can see the Zack Snyder version now, all washed out colors and lens flare and unnecessary zooms and action edited by a five-year-old with ADHD.

    Review Doctor Who in Print!

    Yeah, the only reprints I have ever come across were the two issues of Grant Morrison stories. Frobisher!

    Review The Devil's Rejects (2005)

    As much as I liked House of 1000 Corpses, I can only watch it now and then. It's not the most coherent film. But The Devil's Rejects is a modern horror classic. It takes cues from earlier films, but the story is solid, and it is really pretty disturbing. And some great performances all around...

    Review Trick or Treat (1986)

    I unashamedly love this movie!

    Review Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (2010)

    Normally, I balk at the thought of a book being split into two movies, because in reality, it's typically done only for box office. This is one of those rare cases where it was necessary, and it greatly enhances it. The first movie can, at times, drag. But it sets up so much, and allows more...

    Review Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

    I absolutely love this movie, which surprised me because I hated Harry in this novel. The movie gives you the bare bones of what's going on with him, with the visions of Voldemort, his feeling of isolation because of it and abandonment because everyone he thinks to be his friends are making...

    Fun Have The Last Two Decades Lacked Character?

    In some ways, but I see other ways we've changed. The 80s, for me, was represented by bright neon colors and pop synth, and yuppies versus the aging hippies. The 90s were represented by flannel, worn jeans, and a sense of dread and darkness. Since then, it seems like society is trying too hard...

    Review The Monkees (1966)

    They were put together by the studio to do the show. The music - at first - was written for them, the music on the albums was recorded by other musicians (again, at first) and they were chosen from many other young men who auditioned. It was simply a band put together to make a show based around...

    Review The Meta-Crisis Doctor

    I, too, wish not to make anyone feel unwelcome here. This should be a safe place for all Whovians, new and old. But if you feel that way, I can't stop you, and we can talk in other forums.
