  1. I just don’t understand paying to CGI a house instead of just renting one for a day or two to film some establishing shots. It’s not like there’s a shortage of Tudor houses in the UK!

  2. Kendra, this is so very kind of you. Between Donald and family health worries, January has not been amusing, and if it weren’t for Snark Week and Rachel Maddow, I would go mad. Such delightfully bad hair on every person in every photo.

    (But what the fuck is Rhys-Davies doing in this dreck?)

    1. I believe the traditional term is “Working for hire” (Or, put another way, “They’re paying me chew scenery”).

  3. I’ve never heard of this movie, but I thank you for your sacrifice in watching it so we don’t have to!! God, I can’t believe how bad Ingenue’s brown gown is. Looks so cheap, and the sleeve cuffs look like JoAnn fleece!!

  4. The hero and the ingenue both look like the grown up version of the main character and his love interest from”Hocus Pocus”. And now that I’ve seen it it’s all I see. Except for Gimli’s godawful wig, that stands out too.

  5. On the one hand I seriously doubt that 18th century persons were quite so squeamish about male nipples as their Victorian descendants (Good grief, this was THE Hellfire Club’s heyday), but on the other hand … the horror … the horror.

    I mean if they’d associated Mr John Rhys-Davies with the Hudson Bay Company and claimed he went feral at some point in the fur trade, that would have made more sense, but the East India Company had to deal with the Moghuls and I’m reasonably sure those fellahs would have parlayed such a sartorial humiliation into another century of power if it had ever been sighted East of Suez.

  6. Oh I just burst out laughing, it took me watching part two, then half of part one to realise why the bad guy is called Gimli. Honestly that is so funny! Thank you!

Feel the love
