@Cai0MGA Probably because he'd done fifty other takes being soaking wet. For the rain to show up that well on the film they are DUMPING it on him. What a dedicated man!

@EmmaJaneMurdock Eh, yes and no. Lowland Scots wore trousers, just like the English. In "The Flyting of Dunbar and Kennedy," published in 1506, the Lowlander Dunbar specifically mocks Kennedy's wearing the kilt (to which Kennedy says Dunbar's trouser's are so old his junk is falling out. And he's...

1:00 Curse you camera man and your lack of high-res! Awesome vid.

@therealKINDLE I didn't know that about Colin and the BBC, but it makes a whole lot more sense why he's barely recognizable from the show to Big Finish. It also explains that, during Trial of a Timelord (once Colin knew he was headed out), his writing and performance got a lot deeper and frankly ...

@1993MovieMan Except for the Japanese Americans held in internment camps during WWII. In any case, it's obvious that you feel strongly about your beliefs and nothing I say will shake that. So I bid you good evening, and request that you not put a space between the last letter of your sentences an...

@BigImaginationDoll16 whaddya expect? It's a pretty f-ed up book too. Whatever possessed Disney to make a movie of it, I'll never know.

@naddestroyer @naddestroyer Sorry. That would violate the hero-sidekick skin ratio clause. If the hero has a side kick (Hercules/Iolas, Xena/Gabrielle), the hero must have no less than 30% more skin exposed compared to the sidekick at any given time. It's in the contracts. Goddard, having about 7...

make-up people, what were you thinking? She looks mysterious and exotic in the white-face, but if she has a dress that exposes her shoulders, do both shoulders. And when a person is in white face, their teeth look as yellow as corn. Not the best design they've had in the show...

Great scene and all, but how did he have an egg to spit out when, during the fight, you can clearly see him open his mouth to give a manly shout of rage and there is no egg? Did he go raid a bird nest after chopping the heads off? That's kinda cheating...

4: 26 Be careful, penguin! It's the macra!

@MachintoshCJ You're kidding, right? The gentlemen are nothing like the Jonas Brothers. Can we say facial hair? Their voices may be high, but they are very clearly of the male persuasion. Oh, and they can sing. There's that too.

With her hair short, she looks like Liv Tyler. I really wish this had had better writers. Then, trying to re-envision a classic would have been more like BBC's "Sherlock." It could have worked. This didn't. Sadness.

"He knew the risks?" That's IT? You can't kill Tony like that! Odd's blood, Tony's important! He has his own novel, written by Baroness Orczy! He's the Frasier to Percy's "Cheers." He's Angel in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." And you shoot him down in cold blood for no better reason than to show Cha...

Why did they have to make Percy so hateful in this? He gives every impression of despising Margot, which, okay, she's supposed to think he does. But in the 1982 version, there was always a deep sadness in Anthony's eyes when Marguerite walked away. It pained him to hurt her. I don't see any love ...

I would like this Margot more if her wardrobe was better. The outermost layers of her clothes are correct (i.e. wide stripes), but because she isn't wearing stays, you can see weird bulges and her bosom is in the wrong place. Jane overacted frequently, but at least her clothes fit. Come on, BBC....

@Broadsword255 dem straight.
