Fil5000 posted:Is it Brewster that's the problem or the stories he's in? Because the only one of his I can remember liking is Industrial Evolution. With Brewster, they really seem to have trouble telling the difference between "morally dubious scamp" and outright villainy. He should be, at worst, like a Victorian Quark, but his schemes approach Delgado Master-level destruction. And they always end like this: Every Thomas Brewster story posted:That's it, Brewster, I've had it with you! You've caused countless deaths, damage to the timeline, and left the city a wreck! Solely for your own personal gain!

"The rest of the time they sleep in my mind, and I forget." Possibly my favourite Troughton scene, and that's saying something considering Jamie is not in it. Well, not conscious in it. He's asleep.

Yeah, if I had to pick a favorite moment from each Doctor, that probably would be Two's, although some of that might be because so much of his stuff loses something in the reproductions that are the only way to experience them anymore. Either way, it's a really great little moment.

All of the old who's lose something with being transferred to digital. The fact is that they were filmed to be shown on tiny old TVs. Most people have no idea how terrifying Sil was to a small child watching on a tiny lovely TV, there was no difference in clarity between him and something you saw every day like a newsreader simply because of the broadcast quality. motherfucker still gives me nightmares today. I used to do handstands backwards on the sofa until he went away. It was the tail that did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXCLN2mbFIo

We are sadly 2 for 3 on Peters having lovely opinions. While Capaldi is good and pure, Purves says casting a woman is "horrifying", and Davison is just oh so concerned about the loss of a good role model for boys.

It's also not been kind of stop motion animation effects what so ever, or a lot of practical effects from the last century+. A lot of things that looked seamless in SD have been torn asunder by the modern day. There's only so much future proofing one can do for media like this

Peter Purves is 78 years old but Peter Davison really needs to get over it. As long as we're shoving microphones in front of every companion's face, I hope if they find Bernard Cribbins, he says "Why yes, I think it's a lovely idea and I hope she does well, and I hope her Doctor visits Wilf so that I can be on the show again," in a voice that makes Chibnall feel that if they don't get him in for a brief cameo, everyone's hearts will break.

To be fair, I did watch Sil on a lovely small TV back when it was originally broadcast and even back then I thought he looked pretty lovely. Still enjoyed the character of course, but it looked rubbish!

Yeah, James Bond is one of those characters that I think is so steeped in misogyny as an indelible part of the character that the best you can do is something like Atomic Blonde, where you take the same basic set-up and create a heroine in a similar tone and mold.

Or just take the piss out of it like that Melissa McCarthy movie a few years ago. Jason Statham was the best part of that film.

I'd never watched a McCarthy/Feig movie before or after Spy, but Spy was really good. Statham has a surprising comic talent.

I've actually liked them all, but it is really incredible how Statham steals the show in Spy whenever he's on camera. He has really good chemistry in the outtakes too.

toanoradian posted:I feel like I should get into Bernice Summerfield. The only one I've ever heard is Just War and that's a bit too morbid for me. Is there sort of a consistent mood throughout the series? Is there an era in Doctor Who to which it resembles the closest? She's a companion of 7, so do her stories resemble 7's style of stories? Benny's stories fluctuate between grim and campy - there's not really a consistent mood. I'd recommend any of The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield, as all you have to know is that she's a companion of the 7/8th Doctor. I listened to her range out of order, and even though I've gone through all of them since, it's hard to suggest a start-point because they change the set-up every season. And because early on, they were expecting you to read the books detailing other stuff that was happening. I kinda want to do a breakdown of her stuff at some point, because it's one of those weird wilderness years offshoots that is still about post-revival. [e]: Aw man, Victoria and Litefoot in the same week.

It's a shame they got so stuck on the stern, grumpy take on him for series 8. Too much trying to make him space-Malcolm Tucker, when Peter's so good at showing kindness and compassion. gently caress the Zygon speech, the ones from The Pilot and The Doctor Falls nail it. Even the one with Davros in series 9, where he talks about the Doctor being an ideal that he very occasionally is able to live up to is great.

It's strange going back and looking at pictures of early Twelve when Capaldi wore his hair short. The longer hair suits him better as the Doctor.

Yeah I was going through gifs I'd made of Capaldi's run recently and seeing him with the short hair felt really odd. His hair by the end of The Doctor Falls was so perfect, and we're only going to get one more episode of it

Started re-watching from the start of the revival, on New Earth now, It's been more than a decade and I still can't get over how loving stupid the ending is. Curing the disease zombies by dumping every drug into a big bucket, loving hell. Ah started the werewolf episode as I'm typing- the monk is the creepy Scottish wizard from Game of Thrones!
