epicenenineteen asked: I loved the Voice of Terror so much! I can't wait to watch more of the 40s Holmes adaptations, but real life keeps getting in the way. Expect more mini-reviews! Having come onto your blog to 'ask' you this, I've just realised I'm not following you any more and I don't know why because you're awesome D: anyway, I'm off to rectify that now :)

BATES WUZ FRAMED
So about a month ago I posted in great anger about how the deluxe Whovian graffiti in a bathroom stall at my work had been painted over. Well, the Whovian graffiti is back and with it some Sherlockian graffiti as well. I was just thinking, since this is the all British Television bathroom stall that Downtonians need to represent. "Bates Wuz Framed" would go nicely with "Moriarty was Real" and "The Doctor Lives." What's a week-end? "You are a lady not Toad of Toad Hall" come to mind, Anyone have any suggestions for phrases we can start painting on walls around campus.
ronsclassics asked: About Court Jester? Do you mean its no longer available on dvd? Cause I own it and know they have released it twice... I see amazon no longer has it... But i would look in places like FYE if they are any available...

as "The Count of Monte Cristo" ends:
V: Did you like it?
Evey: Yeah, but it made me feel sorry for Mercedes.
V: Why?
Evey: Because he cared more about revenge than he did about her.
***
Yes but...she was married to one of the men who put him in prison! He loved her but he had shit to sort out first, aaaaaand he didn't shoot back in the duel to protect her son, so clearly he was acting on love and not revenge there. Not to mention not defending himself at the trial so as to not upset her son's fiancee! Evey you don't know shit. I only feel sorry for Mercedes in the scenes where he pretends she doesn't mean a thing to him anymore. That is hard, but you know it all works out in the end.
lucrenoin asked: Your tumblr is like... a dream! <3<3 I'm discovering so many new(!) classic movies to watch! :D

The beginning of Andy and John's ridiculous...
Andy: Dickens news now! And last Tuesday was the 200th birthday of Charles Dickens, who tragically wasn't able to join in the celebrations on the grounds that he was completely and utterly dead. He was the man after whom, as we revealed in Bugle 65, the rapper Chuck D took both his name and lyrical inspiration. In fact, if you-
John: Is that something we've said, Andy?
Andy: That is something we've said, yeah.
John: That was a strong joke. That's a strong joke. That was a long time ago.
Andy: Yeah, well in fact I revealed at the time, John, that when Chuck D applied for the job as vocalist for Public Enemy, he wrote on his application that the Victorian novelist was an 'inspiration, and someone who's work and beard I hope to emulate in the medium of rap.' And included with his application a six-hour hip hop version of Dickens' unfinished novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood. And in fact, if you play the Public Enemy hit 'Yo! Bum Rush the Show,' the title track of their first album, backwards at half speed, it is the first couple pages of Dickens' hit novel Dombey and Son. And track 3 on the same album, 'Miuzi Weighs a Ton' is basically a five-star review of Our Mutual Friend. Dickens of course has left a great legacy for this country, and it's reached its apotheosis in Dickens World, a Dickens theme park-
John: It's true.
Andy: -in Chatham in North Kent. Now, I dunno if you've ever been to Chatham, John.
John: I have. I have, Andy, I have been, but incredibly I didn't go to Dickens World, which I guess didn't put me alone.
Andy: Chatham, it's an old dockyard town, but it's in a fairly depressed area of Kent and the Medway Towns, and on TripAdvisor Dickens World was ranked fourth out of five attractions in Chatham. Which is a bit like being the fourth most useful finger on Lord Nelson's right arm. In the latter stages of his career. Or, the second-best movie that John Oliver has ever starred in.
John: Oh! Oh, FUCK YOU, Andy.
