I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
However, the rental price on Amazon Prime is $20 (purchase $25), which is still more than I want to spend. I will continue to wait....
Wow. That's crazy high. I'd definitely wait, too. At this point I've resigned myself to seeing it once it comes out on Blu Ray. (Buying digital copies these days is basically just a long term rental that they can cancel at any time, so I rarely do it.)

Our wings are not tired.
Headed to the little local Strand this afternoon to see Taylor Swift. Neither of us has any particular fondness for the lass, but we do love the couple that have struggled to keep the theater going over the decades in a tiny town. So, we go and watch just about everything we can there. I am confident that it will be entertaining, and I know the popcorn is good.

A Haunting in Venice, now on Hulu, is the best of the Branagh Poirot adaptations. Probably not coincidentally, it’s also the one least focused on having A-listers in the cast.

Because books.
I loved it, too, Tom, and I agree.

I will have to check it out. It doesn’t sound much like the source material, which is about a Halloween party in England. So maybe more just a movie….

Yeah, I'm curious to see how they've adapted the book.

I enjoyed it quite a bit but the plot has about as much in common with its Agatha Christie source novel as KNIVES OUT did. Maybe less.

I really just don't like Branagh's version of Poirot, I think. I found it a very frustrating movie because there were parts of it I liked a lot but the parts that struck me wrong really overshadowed anything else. And that's been true of all three, I'm pretty sure. I did not refamiliarize myself with Halloween Party before watching this one, so I don't think it's divergence from canon as such that bothered me except in a broad that-is-not-how-that-character-is sense that is probably much more headcanon than actual canon

I had many opinions about the Poirot backstory in Death of the Nile. Though the TV adaptations have done worse to Miss Marple.
