enigmatic Toby. The four part drama sees Fi arriving home to see strangers moving into her house and her husband Bram nowhere to be seen! The series will start March 7th.
Shazad Latif was good in Spooks. However, I am not fancy anything Disney, sorry :-/
ReplyDeleteHope it will be family friendly and not too woke, but I have a feeling it will be.
DeleteNeither of these scream out to me today. Whenever I see a submarine on TV, I tend to start breathing heavy. After reading the Lusitania, my fear of them has gotten worse. They're death traps!
ReplyDeleteBut it will be a luxurious steam punk submarine!
DeleteI find Our House very intriguing with that thought of perfect strangers moving into your house in which you still live in.
This is odd. None of these characters (aside from Nemo and he was the villain) were in the original novel
ReplyDeleteIsn't it super bizarre when they take a character from a writer and totally change it? Where is there the respect for someone's work? I remember when Conan Doyle's estate sued Netflix for making Holmes a kind soul in Enola Holmes even though the very soul of the character is that he is wicked and sinister.
DeleteI’ll tell you what is totally bizarre. When characters, out of the blue, begin to act totally out of character. Is what Weiss&Benioff did in order to end GOT. They destroyed characters, they destroyed arches, everything lost sense and meaning. Utter disrespect for Martin, his saga and us, the Thronie Community.
DeleteI remember the Conan Doyle Estate suing Netflix, but did they win? There is another Enola Holmes coming up.
Talking about bizarre outcomes ad legal suit. A couple of years ago, Dame Olivia de Havilland, a 100-years-ol Hollywood gem, sued the producers of “Feud” because they had portrayed her as instrumental in the downfall of Joan Crawford. The judge’s dictamen was that since it was fiction, they could libel whomever they wanted (WTF?) But after The Crown’s maligning of people who are very much alive, it should not come as a surprise.
What the CD Estate protested against was Henry Caville’s portrait of Sherlock as an emotional man. According to books, Holmes is a cold fish, unemotional, his brain ruled by sheer logic
Yes, that is something that happens often not just on film, but in modern books too, implausible and illogical changes of characters.
DeleteI remember the Havilland case, I'm still very emotional about it, it still hurts me deeply that they would do that to such an old actress, and the way that little prick talked to her in media after she sued, it was just fully disgusting and disrespectful. I still don't watch anything from that moron.
They also did the same to that female Russian chess player who was offended by THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT as someone who gained success because she was flirty, even though that was not true and even though the point of the show WAS to portray women as good chess players. And she is a freaking real person who fought to achieve success only to be demeaned by the show whose producers think they have the right to do that. That is America for you. I could literally do a biopic on you and portray you as a let's say, a right wing racist blue smurf who likes to kill elephants, and you will not be able to do anything about it.
I'm also emotional because I have worshipped DAme Olivia since I saw her in GWTW. The whole thing was so dismisdive and offensive. Are we talking about Ryan Murphy ("little prick")? Since he became a sort of gay icon he's grown too full of himself, and he's just anoter overrated little twat
DeleteYes, that is the twat prick, we don't say his name publicly anymore. We boo and spit on his name.
DeleteDITTO!
DeleteI love lots of stuff from Disney, so we're interested in this.
ReplyDeleteHope it turns out good.
DeleteI’ll pass on Disney, but Our House does has me curious to see how it all ends.
ReplyDeleteIt is possible she lost it while playing cards drunk and does not remember it, it can happen to anyone.... right? I remember when Lord Vulcan won Helena Bonham Carter on cards like that in Love is Gamble famous period set romance from our childhoods.
DeleteAnything is possible!
