The Great North (2021)
Pandering on a Network Level
It's not that it's as bad as some say, but I find the PC Pandering so obvious it's actually offensive.
WandaVision (2021)
WTF!!!
I am a BIG MCU fan and have just watched the first two episodes. Frankly, they may be the two worst TV series episodes I have ever seen. The dialog is written as high camp, with every performance done the same way. The faux laugh track is intrusive and laughs, themselves, non-existent. The biggest waste of money, ever, by the once impeccable Marvel Studios. Like my title says; hey Marvel, WTF!!??
Blackadder II (1986)
Question as to Episode Order - Still, Though, one of the world's greatest comedies
I regularly watch all of the Blackadder series and specials, and have been a rabid fan for many years. One thing has always bothered me about the accepted episode order for the second series. It seems as though it is generally accepted that "Bells" is the series first episode, however, given the fact that Lord Percy shaves his beard upon learning of the infidelities of his "beloved," at the hands of both Blackadder and Baldrick, while this same beard appears throughout the entirety of the accepted second episode, "Head." It always seemed to me that "Head" was probably meant to be the first episode. Just a fanatic's lunatic ravings, I guess. But I do so love this series.
Belizaire the Cajun (1986)
An interesting little film that has stuck with me for over twenty years
I first saw this movie when it was broadcast on the PBS Series "American Playhouse," around the same time they were doing things like Kurt Vonnegut's "Who am I this time?" directed by a young Jonathan Demme and starring Christopher Walken as a man almost paralyzed by overwhelming shyness, but who managed to live out a full and interesting life by acting in local theater productions and adopting the personalities of the characters he portrayed. Belizaire is just and compelling, interesting and wonderfully acted. This is an admittedly slow, but lyrical period piece that transports you to another time and place with effortless grace and simplicity. Assante is marvelous, with that amazing ability to disappear into character.
