Tonight, for a change, I am watching a Sherlock Holmes movie starring someone other than Basil Rathbone. Specifically, I am watching the Hammer Hound of the Baskervilles, with Peter Cushing, André Morell, and Christopher Lee.
1) Wow, they really want you to know this is a Hammer film in the first sequence with Sir Hugo Baskerville. The contrast with the last version of HOUN I watched, where the Hayes Code elided everything, is astounding.
2) Look, the last movie I saw with Cushing and Morell in was Cash on Demand and seeing them in the same scene again did give me a little frisson. (Cash on Demand is so good, you should all watch it.)
3) Bets on whether or not Christopher Lee is going to make the slightest attempt to sound Canadian as Sir Henry? I am betting on "no." ETA - ah they've changed Sir Henry's origin to South Africa. Let's see if we get that accent.
Unexpected spider attack! Sure, okay, why not? Gotta remind us this is a Hammer film.
(I feel much the same about Terrifying Deadly Spiders being played by tarantulas as I do when movies try to convince me that flying fox bats are scary creatures of the night. It's very cute.)
Recasting the Stapletons as an embittered poor farmer and his barefoot waif of a daughter (with an Italian accent) is certainly a choice.
Okay, I'll give the movie some credit for explaining that a tarantula bite wouldn't kill a healthy person but might be a problem for someone with a heart condition.
I don't know if that's true - I don't know enough about how spider bites and heart conditions interact - but it at least makes an effort.
OH MY GOD, THEY PUT A SCARY MASK ON THE DOG
That is the silliest thing, I love it so much.
I don’t think any of the extraneous “We are in a Hammer Horror film!” details added much, but this is a fun adaptation. The cast and the writing are good, and it looks lovely.
Peter Cushing is, as ever, excellent. I’m always fascinated by the way he builds characters through tiny little mannerisms - my favorites in this film is the way his Holmes will just stand next to someone with his eyes closed when he’s listening carefully, and the way he sprawls in chairs like he’s just about to slide onto the floor. It’s very fun. André Morell is a lovely Watson - wry and competent and clearly intelligent, if not as clever as Holmes.
All in all, quite a fun movie.

Deadass one of if not the funniest scenes in the entire show I CANNOT-

I finished A Thief in the Night last night and now I am SO SAD about it. Both because I have no more of the book, which was mostly delightful fluffy crime shenanigans, and because the book is, despite the content, just incredibly sad? All the fluff is explicitly Bunny mourning for his lost Raffles by telling all these stories about times when they were happy (and probably rewriting them so he can remember them being happier than they were). It’s awful.
How am I to be expected to actually do things today after that?
where you born in the 80s or 90s and read Jean M. Auel’s (pre)historical fiction Earth’s Children series (beginning with Clan of the Cave Bear)? Tell me:
I was a tween when I read them (and was wildly unprepared for the sex scenes)
I was a teen or adult when I read them and was expecting the sex scenes
I was a teen or adult and was wildly unprepared for the sex scenes
I have not read these books but I want to click a button
I only read the first one and am just now learning the later books get steamy
every time I talk about these books I get several people telling me that they too were precocious history loving tweens who, after first reading Clan of the Cave Bear, innocently picked up the next book in the series having no idea it was 80% thrilling stone age adventures and 20% explicit romance novel style sex. It seems to be a common experience for a certain subset of bookish millennials to have been mildly scarred at a too-young age by that scene in The Mammoth Hunters, lol
I was born in 77 and was an early teenager and oh boy.
I think I read Clan of the Cave Bear when I was 12 and it was as enthralling as it was graphic (story pulls no punches about living in prehistoric times)
Dare I ask about the traumatizing scene from Mammoth Hunters? It's been over a decade and I don't remember any one standout thing.
Ok I’m really curious
What do you guys call this

goofing - having a good laugh at smth
amelioration - working towards the betterment of something, for example, working on a skill you hope to improve
coitus - fuckin’
enthralment - becoming incredibly engaged in something, hyper focusing on something

How long would it take you to walk from your home to the nearest grocery store?
≤15 minutes
≤30 minutes
≤45 minutes
≤1 hour
≤2 hours
≤3 hours
≤6 hours

*If you can't walk that far or the roads to the store aren't safe to walk just pretend you can and they are for the purposes of this poll.
