Let’s Talk About… #TheStranger – Episode 1

My annual social media Lent is coming up. From Ash Wednesday I will abstain from Twitter for the next 6 and a half weeks (until Easter Sunday), allowing me to recalibrate a little and concentrate on other things. Such as my blog – or RAnet. That means I need blog fodder. Almost four weeks have…

Today’s Community Re-Watch

Let’s pull a fast one. Here’s my review: Asshole. . . . . Ok, just kidding. But boyo, is that a nasty role to play. Dr Tom Steele is the worst kind of doctor I have ever seen. All fine veneer, but absolutely rotten behind. Actually, his behind isn’t rotten but rather tasty (those peaches…

Reward for the Re-Watch

It’s Sunday and I am trying to go back to my daily posting. Hey, Armitage – can you please tweet every day or something, so I can fill the pages here? Cheers, mate! Not that I really have anything profound to say or report. What’s new, Guylty *muhahaha* However, a couple of fun bits had…

Re-Watching The Impressionists [part 2]- Impressed

Just a cursory glance at my screenshot loot of episode 2 shows that there were smiles and gorgeous galore. But well, it’s not all beauty and joy in the show, and there were things…

Re-Watching The Impressionists [part 1]- With a Smile

The fact that the re-watch got delayed and delayed is already symptomatic for what is generally the problem with re-watches: They are not new, and it never feels urgent to write a review about something that has been out there for quite a while. And in my case, that even applies to my “first time”.…

Mixed Bag Stuff

Hello hello hello. Today I have a little mixed bag of stuff for you – after all those discussions and the visual feast of Flat Richie in Hollywood. First on the agenda… 1) Next Re-Watch With ITS now under our belt, the commentary also turned to the question, which master piece from Richard’s oeuvre should…
