corn in the bible posted:What are peoples' favorite Big Finish stories? Chimes of Midnight is excellent and often pushed as a good listen, though I think it benefits from some familiarity with the 8/Charley dynamic first. Similarly Scherzo is a fantastic arthouse/experimental piece that is probably the all time best Big Finish audio I've ever heard but it also requires a little bit of familiarity with the two characters, though they do attempt to lay it all out to a first time listener. Neverland has the same issues, it's a great story but reliant on familiarity with the characters. One of my all time favorites is Year of the Pig, which is a 6/Peri story. It's audio honey, I absolutely adored listening to it. Also, it's an extremely early audio but I really dug The Fearmonger with 7/Ace, which feels like comes right out of (the good part of) his television run. The Kingmaker with 5/Peri/Erimem starts rough but by the halfway point it starts improving and by the end of episode 3 it descends into glorious comedy.

I'm ready for this version of The Two Doctors  E: that reminds me, I did a rewatch of Blakes 7 recently, and CBakes was pretty awesome as Bayban the Butcher. He chewed just the right amount of scenery with his performance.

DoctorWhat posted:If you're not mad about Gareth Roberts' virulent transphobia I don't trust you. Roberts is a total right-wing shitlord and has been for many years, so him branching out into transphobia doesn't surprise me at all sadly. This was him in 2003 defending the politics of the most mean-spirited, anti-liberal story in the show's pre-revival history, which he also uses as an excuse to have a go at the Muslims.

Vinylshadow posted:"Do you want headphones?" The whole thing is incredible really, and amongst all the jokes she has some really interesting things to say about the pitfalls of fame (and especially the difference between wanting to be an actor and wanting to be "famous"), how she had to stop second-guessing the way she chose to perform the role, her fears about her friends and family being dragged into the spotlight etc. Really can't recommend it enough as a great listen. Also she got offered the chance to audition by Chibnall when they met for lunch and her only ulterior motive was hoping he might cast her as an alien in an episode somewhere along the way

Just saw Resolution in a Berlin cinema because they were showing it today for reasons(?). Looked good on the big screen, nice mix, still funny. Weirdly, the audience (filling maybe 1/3rd of the place) barely reacted to anything though, which may just be Germans generally.

Jerusalem posted:That reminds me, not only did I recently find out that they're making a tv series version of What We Do In The Shadows (if you haven't seen that movie, check it out, it's incredible), but Matt Berry is playing one of the vampires. It's going to be fantastic. If you haven't seen it you should check out the first WWDITS spinoff Wellington Paranormal which was made by a lot of the original crew and is a COPS style show about the police officers from the movie investigating paranormal poo poo in Wellington. One of the episodes is directly about the young vampire from the movie. Edit: if we're talking dream "Master wants to be good and is trying hard but completely doing it wrong" dream casting I would like to suggest Emma Watson.

There's a point where she's very clearly thinking about The Witchfinders in particular, but avoids specifics in a way where that's still spoiler territory.

Before and after the screening of Resolution, the cinema also showed a few behind the scenes bits like an extended version of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FGKzDq9OnU And my other half noticed that when they showed a bit of the camera monitor that they were filming in 2K. So I guess that means no 4K/UHD release of the season, which is a shame.

In my experience in British cinemas, audiences are always very quiet, which might also hold true elsewhere in Europe. (Which is why I'll make sure not to go to any cinemas if I ever find myself in the USA.)

No, I’m English, and UK audiences would at least laugh at the jokes (unless you’re going to some very stuffy cinemas). Also, the US audience thing seems to be a movie cliche because I’ve never encountered it in all my US cinema excursions.

The_Doctor posted:
It depends on the time of the day, what movie, and where you're seeing it. If you go and see the midnight premiere for a big release in a large theater, there's going to be a comment yelled here and there, and lots of hootin', hollerin', and applause. A good portion of the audience is likely to be inebriated. I personally enjoy the experience of it once in awhile. If you're in a second-run movie theater watching a Sundance film with subtitles, the the audience is likely to be completely silent. Obviously, there's a lot in between those two extremes.

edit: ^^^ Yeah, that.The_Doctor posted:Also, the US audience thing seems to be a movie cliche because I’ve never encountered it in all my US cinema excursions. I have, but only at midnight premieres. I remember I saw the second Pirates movie at a midnight showing, and people were running around in pirate costumes, waving pirate flags, and cheering anytime Depp showed up on screen. It was obnoxious, and I've stayed away from might showings ever since.

Haha, yeah, I was specifically thinking of a time when a bunch of my friends brought me along on a pirate bar hop (they were dressed like pirates, I was just along for the ride) before the fourth (I think?) Pirates movie. That's one end of the extreme and it probably is pretty obnoxious, but then there's like, if you see something like Star Wars in the first week, if it's a big, crowded theater, people sometimes clap or cheer at some of the big moments. I kind of like the shared experience of it.

Is he related at all to Burn Gorman? My first thought was "dang, he kinda looks like Owen from Torchwood" and then I remembered that actor's name. A cursory Googlin' didn't turn up anything, but thought someone here might know if they're like uncle/nephew or something. Or if I'm just imagining the resemblance. An odd coincidence is that just the night before, my spouse and I had just been watching his last role in DW. Not that that's terribly remarkable, given his 73 episodes. Wikipedia says he did 83, and also this bit: quote:He appeared in minor roles in 83 episodes of the science fiction series Doctor Who between 1964 and 1985: only six other actors appeared in more in the show's original run. Who are the other six actors with even bigger resumes, holy hell?! I just tried looking that up, but am not hitting the right search terms. Though there are some pretty cool listicles about repeat actors --- I particularly find the ones that appeared in both classic and revival kinda  . Also, I had no idea Julian Glover was General Veers in Empire Strikes Back.

Per IMDB, the top 10 list for the classic series is: Tom Baker: 178 episodes Frazer: 177 episodes (?!) Hartnell: 144 episodes Pertwee: 132 episodes Patrick: 131 episodes Nicholas Courtney: 109 episodes Pat Gorman: 95 episodes Lis Sladen: 83 episodes Jacqueline Hill: 81 episodes William Russell: 78 episodes And in the new series, for shits and giggles: Tennant: 59 episodes Smith: 57 episodes Capaldi: 46 episodes Jenna Coleman: 41 episodes Nicholas Briggs: 40 episodes Billie Piper 40 episodes Karen Gillan: 38 episodes Paul Kasey: 35 episodes Arthur Darvill: 27 episodes Freema Agyeman : 25 episodes Ruari Mears: 22 episodes (Kasey and Mears play assorted Cybermen/Oods/etc, and we all know Briggs) (This is, because IMDB is stupid, only counting both main series. Things like Dimensions in Time and the 83 different Shadas aren't included here) Edit: I've only just seen this list might be WRONG because IMDB has two different numbers listed for Frazer Hines in two different places.

Frazer Hines's wikipedia entry says he is in 117, which seems like a plausible typo/transposition for 177, whichever is actually correct.
