Had just been thinking I didn't know what I fancied watching tonight when this arrived.
The Hammer Films 4K release of The Abominable Snowman.

Me, when Strange New Worlds does a normal episode for once.

Also, a shoutout for this absolute nonsense. A one hour show that's already costing over £15 per child and then asking for another £6 on top of that if you want to sit in the middle? That would have been an extra £24 for us. Didn't book but wonder if this is a new Fringe thing for a bunch of shows?

You might have forgotten the Fringe had started, but there'll be signs.

Did not expect the opening episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to be a pretty clear Quatermass and the Pit prequel/tribute.

Always enjoy this guys reactions during the introduction to The Joker. The "another day in the office" vibe makes me laugh.

"He was tenacious in trying to find Rowan Morrison. He tried to fight his way through the entire community to rescue her. He never compromised on his beliefs. He wasn't even all that judgemental compared to how someone like Mrs. Mack in High Road would have been. In this house, Sgt Howie is a hero!"

At least one of the cast is thinking this might not be such a good idea.

It definitely wasn't a rushed production. Now, to enjoy this thrilling finale with all the blue screen on set that they just...kept in?

It's indicative of what a mess Marvel have got into with the multiverse stuff that they couldn't just rely on the visuals of the trailer but had to be clear who Evans is playing in this one.

House to myself, all the jobs done. It's miserable outside. Conditions are perfect for this masterpiece of television horror.

That doesn't really read to me that the WB stuff will just sit on Netflix. That word choice feels an awful lot like upsell.

I'm really glad they didn't end up using the stuff with her at Helms Deep that they shot - would have been too much I think.

While the basement scene is very effective, I actually find this line reading to be hugely creepy on rewatches.

I think it's another example of a community basing itself on a myth but one which is much more ingrained. As an example (and note that people were making Teletubby jokes about this set as well).
