Please excuse new parentβ€”sleepiness. First watch for me; I liked it a lot more than I thought I would!

Someone wanted to make a showbiz satire starring Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson, and they tacked Miss Marple onto it. Still pretty fun.

It's incredible that George Clooney and Buddy Hackett were in the same episode.

I saw it in VistaVision at the Regal as well, and you describe the experience so perfectly. In the car chase scene where they're going up and down all those hills, I felt like I was jumping out of my body.

She's basically playing the Bond in that movie and that's why it's the best one.

It's a more of a rocket movie with a side dish of coal mining. But Chris Cooper's character is very, very into coal mining.

October Sky is definitely the second-best movie about coal mining starring Chris Cooper.

Can I make this episode about a nice but somewhat forgettable movie a discussion about MATEWAN? I sure tried!

Yes, the frailty is the key. I just reread The Mirror Crack’d, and there’s a lot of really moving stuff about her fears of aging. For me, the Rutherford and Lansbury portrayals have their charms even if they’re not that accurate. Love a spinster absolutely smoking men who underestimate her.

She's so good. IIRC, she was in one of the Margaret Rutherford Marples when she was young, and Rutherford told her that she'd be a great Marple one day.

*Love* that one. Don't know if you've seen the Joan Hickson Marples, but I thought that one was a particularly good adaptation.

Every three months or so, The Guardian has a story about a cheese heist.

RIP Patricia Routledge. Hard to think of a more fully realized, deftly executed comic character than Hyacinth Bou-quet. Or one that brought me more joy as a child. Very jealous of my parents, who saw her as Lady Bracknell. Also, Snoop Dogg is a big fan of Keeping Up Appearances.

I need you all to know that a "small beer" is what Margaret Rutherford's Miss Marple treats herself to after a hard day of sleuthing, and I vehemently insist that is what PTA is referencing.

My sense is that Branagh is riffing off the Ustinov Poirot and he just can’t stop himself.
