It makes me mad that Cuaron changed things from the book, but somehow, it still works to make a very effective movie. Effectively creepy, some wonderful humor, and brilliant acting all around. And before anyone says it, yes, I understand there is a difference between movies and books. But I'm a...

That trailer is sick! I love every second of it! This has me so excited, I don't know if I can wait the 4 months till it comes out!

Isn't it amazing how much Sean is looking more and more like his dad? They should get him in a wig and have him do a multi-Doctor story.

My cousin has a file with the line of our family (Leland) since 1620 (I think), when John Leland, a tailor, came over from England. I would love to find out where he shipped out from, and eventually, when I get over there, dig through the books and records and continue tracing from there. No one...

I love the Ood! They're great! I love the couple that Tennant sits with at dinner. Those guys were great. And some great cameos from great actors from other series.

Face paint, trench coat, and a stocking cap. Like those bracelets used to say, WWSD - What Would Spock Do? I was going to say super villain, but...oh, I see what you did there.

Sorry, I spilled soda earlier. ant-mac shook my Mountain Dew.

In a paper I wrote back in college, I compared King to Garrison Keillor. They both do a wonderful job of creating a visual of picturesque, small town America. The difference is, Keillor points out what's wrong and finds the humor, whereas King finds the horror. I also think of it as King looking...

If you haven't seen Mirrormask, you need to. It can't be explained. Just know that Neil Gaiman wrote it, and it's amazing.

Alt-reich term that means Social Justice Warrior. They don't seem to get that I'm a Social Justice Mage.

You might be missing your copy of Island of the Nymphomaniac Amazon Women. Um, I think Drifter took it. You'll be fine. Just don't look at it with a black light. I'm here because ant-mac told me to come here. Actually, I was going to start checking out other forums when they announced that...

My dad worked at the local quarry when I was growing up. I remember many a time running through there, pretending the monster of the week was chasing me. And my dad shaking his head, saying what an odd child I was.

I remember when I first saw that one, it immediately angered me. Like, "You're setting a story in America, get the slang right!" But then I thought more about it and I find it funny.

It might not be so bad, but when you know they only constructed one 8-10 foot corridor for them to run down again and again, it does tend to get monotonous. :emoji_alien:

In Daleks in Manhattan, there's a moment when they climb aboard an elevator, and it says "Lift". I've never learned if it was a clever way for the prop masters to slip in a British term, if it was a slip up because they didn't know the American term (in was, after all, set in America), or if...

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! By the way, I knew Poe personally. If he offers you an Amontillado, run. In America, the word Philosopher was associated with the great thinkers. It was thought that to use the original term would confuse the intended audience, younglings, and so they...

Shakespeare: Good woman, I have more of this tale to tell of a Kind named Henry, and his... Carol: Oi! Shakespeare! Get back in the cupboard till I'm good and ready for ya! Shakespeare: Hmph. Tea and bloody shortbreads. Carol: What did you say?

I'm a little ashamed to say, I saw the movie before I read the book. I fell in love with the movie, and went out and found the first two books (Prisoner of Azkaban was still a few months away at that point). I read them both in a day each, and loved them so very much. Chris Columbus had the...

And you know? If you told that to the youth of today, they wouldn't believe you. I remember my mom telling me years ago about how, growing up, she would get a quarter, and go to the drug store, and get a comic book and a bottle of soda, or a soda and candy. I always seemed baffled by the whole...

I love that someone stole it in 1966 and demanded 5 pounds ransom! Sorry, damn American keyboard. No foreign currency symbols.
