    Fun Foods You Won't Eat!

    I was okay until it was discovered that mice had made a mess of everything on the wife's side of the closet, and now my laundry list has grown exponentially. I'm not overly happy.

    Fun FILM GENERAL: Anything To Do With Films

    As a collector, I can say that I've broken the bank in both places. I have been known to drop a hundred dollars or so by haunting the back issues boxes. I have a problem. My greatest surprise was when I picked up a final issue for a run I had been collecting, for $5. When I got home, before I...

    Review Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

    We do indeed. While there were toy tie-ins before Star Wars, he certainly set the modern standard.

    Many apologies. LCS is internet slang for Local Comic Store. Comic book shops are my Kryptonite. Those, and cheesecake.

    Review The Inbetweeners

    This guy hits the nail directly on the head. Sadly, I understand there were actually people out there that thought the US version was better. Fuckwits.

    Review The Whittaker Doctor

    I have heard that rumor. And there's a scene in the series trailer that looks like he's regenerating. I don't think this is a good idea, as that's how Tennant was introduced, and I would have preferred that he be introduced in a series opener.

    Review The Whittaker Doctor

    Apparently my voting for Noel Fielding didn't pay off. I knew I should have voted for Richard Ayoade.

    Review The Inbetweeners

    I still haven't watched the films, but the series is so damned funny. Again, goes back to the point I had made in my other thread. In the US, our TV producers would have milked this for at least 8 or 10 seasons, and would have ruined it. Luckily, the US version failed before it got too far.

    Spaced is still on my Netflix or Hulu list. One of these days I'm going to sit and watch it.

    Review Smile (2017)

    I think it looks pretty good. The robots seem cutesy, but the idea that they're not all benign makes me hopeful that this will be a great episode. One of my favorite McCoy moments. The way that scene is played out is just brilliant.

    Review Porky's (1982)

    "Have you seen this tallywacker?" Genius. A great teen comedy, followed by a less-than-stellar sequel and a shit third chapter.

    Review Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2 (2017)

    I'm so pumped for this movie. I loved the first one, and really dug the comics. I really love the character of Rocket, and I'm glad he transferred well from page to screen.

    Review The Davison Doctor

    I think it was a necessary step to cast someone like him in the role. Tom and stayed on for so long, and you saw how he had become less enthusiastic in the role (mostly because the Beeb wouldn't let him do the show his way), and you needed someone to bring a new energy to the series. Peter is a...

    Review The Hartnell Doctor

    I had already watched Jon, Tom and Peter when I finally got to see Bill's turn in the TARDIS. You see that he is having fun in the role, and knowing that this had never been done before, you get a real sense of the awe that early audiences had with the show and with his role in it. Also, after...

    Review The Office

    The US version has some great moments, but it never lives up to the brilliance of the UK version, in my opinion. I binged this series in a couple of days. So damned funny. Here's one of the better moments from the US version.

    Review Blackadder

    Honestly, after the way they ended series 4, I don't know how they could have upped the ante. That ending is still one of my favorite finales ever. The specials are great, but I don't know that they could have effectively done another full series. I love the relationship between Blackadder and...

    Review Modern Who Companions

    I loved his reactions to her in The Pilot. "Human Alert! Should I put up an alert?" Or when she finally mentioned it being bigger on the inside, and he turns to The Doctor and says "We finally got there!"
