Duchess Van Hoof @duchess-van-hoof.bsky.social · 6hEpisode 5 of the old Patlabor anine is beat for beat Ghost in the Shell S.A.C. episode 2. Runaway multilegged armoured tank goes AWOL, approaches city on major roads. The protagonists are tasked with stopping it with inadequate resources. The exact same plot. 010
Duchess Van Hoof @duchess-van-hoof.bsky.social · 6hI think I can see why the Batwoman comics never quite broke top selling numbers. This weird DIALOGUE where random WORDS are BOLDED for no reason. Add blatant edginess, an underwhelming motivation, and a questionable plot. She's a redhead lesbian Batman, how difficult can this be? 100

Duchess Van Hoof @duchess-van-hoof.bsky.social · 18hI discovered the miss Marple mini-series; Joan Hickson has the nosiness & sassiness down expertly. Just missing a pair of reading glasses to fit my mental image of her. Bonus: the show is a bit more explicitly queer than the books were. 110
Duchess Van Hoof @duchess-van-hoof.bsky.social · 18hGot to love when the description of a show is just a series of celebrity names; no genre, no plot. Or when a book is just a bunch of quotes that is a really good book, nothing about the plot. I will simply not bother, if they can't be arsed to explain what it even is 010
