Jane Austen really put only seven significant male characters in SENSE & SENSIBILITY and named THREE of them John.

So @Dan_romer’s incredible #StationEleven score just dropped on Spotify and there are some phenomenal bonus tracks including Danielle Deadwyler reading a large section of the comic aloud. Which may become my morning litany. https://open.spotify.com/track/1SopvgozEn9GGzpIAQNUYF?si=SExGLZ5dQNa0m1JsnSI7mQ

I think Gaiman (one of my favorite authors) might be almost entirely unadaptable. Coraline is a solid exception. But I thought only the Aziraphale/Crowley parts of Good Omens (my favorite book) worked. American Gods was something I was really pulling for. What a mess.

If you love watching greats like Charles Dance, Gwendoline Christie, David Thewlis, Kirby Howell-Baptiste and Boyd Holbrook nibble and chomp on some scenery, then this is a show for you. Also keep an eye out for Ben Kingsley’s kid as a personal fave from the comic: Hob Gadling. https://t.co/dGmXQxjYf6

Controversial screeching scorching hot take. The original Mission Impossible is a nearly perfect movie but would have been even more interesting and closer to perfection if Kristin Scott Thomas had survived the original team instead of the hot French femme fatale.

Hello not only did @jhoffman join me to talk about the GREAT new #StarTrek show (and Jordan’s wonderful book), he also used the correct pronunciation of “Handsome Mount.” You love to see it. https://twitter.com/jhoffman/status/1526237035702456320

In hindsight. Perhaps watching UNDER THE BANNER OF HEAVEN after dark…when reading the book the year it came out petrified me for nearly two decades. Like. Maybe that wasn’t the move.
