You gotta love her dad, though, singing “Get Me to the Church on Time”!

As a musical presentation, it’s pretty good, despite the Dick Van Dyke level of horrible Cockney. But yeah, I hated the conclusion.
I tried looking for Pygmalion, but haven’t found it on any service I currently use yet.
Positive, I suppose. Hopkins is so good at being evil, whether his character is intentionally cruel, like Silence of the Lambs, or blissfully ignorant to the destruction he leaves in his wake in this one.

Good.
Thank you!
I’m both glad for one more season, and sad that it’s the last one… seems to me they’d have lots more stories to tell. There’s rumors online that Warner Brothers might do its own streaming service and that’s why Netflix doesn’t want to buy multiple seasons. I have no clue if that’s true. Supposedly Lucifer had huge ratings in May, so the numbers probably aren’t the issue.
(And no, I haven’t caught up yet, though I’m semi-spoiled. Bad me, but I haven’t been in the mood for a big binge yet.)

Stanley Holloway is one of those actors who could apparently do anything.

The writers are their own worst enemies. They keep wanting to do big season-long story arcs when the series was at its best as just a stupid parody cop show with Tom Ellis being ridiculous for no reason. And they keep rehashing Luci-and-Chloe’s “first date” over and over and over

Always Be My Maybe.
Ali Wong, Randall Park, and a cast of great actors and comedians. Still, kind of a predictable, formulaic comedy-romance, EXCEPT…EXCEPT…possibly one of the greatest comedic extended cameos in film.
For 20 minutes, Randall Park competes for the affection of Ali Wong vs. KEANU REEVES. I literally laughed out loud.

Just watched Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrel.
I liked it. It was paced really well, so that I wanted to keep watching; the characters were all well-acted; the conflict seemed believable and compelling.
I had a couple of minor quibbles with it, of course, but all-in-all, it held my attention for seven episodes, so I’d give it a fair recommendation.

I’m doing my film history backwards, having seen the 1980 Flash in my youth, and Flesh Gordon just last month. It’s hard to adjust to this straight version, especially since the recently viewed Flesh relied so strongly on this original serial as a model. Look guys, I realize that it’s not practical to strip down on camera in 1936, but couldn’t someone at least ham it up?
