Re: The NEW, "What's that in your eyeballs?" thread. Part 9

They only made 13 in the second series, before it was cancelled.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It went from being a smash hit to being a flop, in the space of just half a season.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It's Galactica 1980, all over again.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Ginger Snaps is on The Horror Channel at 10:40.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Hatchet followed by Ginger Snaps. TV scheduling doesn't get better than that. If that's followed by Let the Right One In, it's like all my dreams have come true.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Even though I don't have a telly.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

I've just checked. It's just followed by a remake of Night of the Living Dead.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It says it stars Tony Todd and Patricia Tallman.

That's the sort of casting that screams, "Made for TV," at me.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Let's look at Wikipedia and see if Gina Torres is in it too.

You can't go wrong with made for tv. Two words - Donna Mills.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It would appear to be the 1990 remake.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Gina Torres is not in it.

Apart from Todd and Tallman, there is no one in it I have ever heard of.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

You can't go wrong with made for tv. Two words - Donna Mills.

I have just checked her filmography on Wikipedia. I see she was in Play Misty For Me and Sharknado 4. I approve of such a combination of roles.

[cosmictanya]

She's been in loads of quality trash. A real soft focus heroine. 

Last ever episode of Poldark apparently. BBC1 now. I was briefly charmed by it during the first series. Now I can't even stand the memory of it.

I am beside myself with rage.

There I am, furiously trying to make an entirely unneccesarily overcomplicated dinner and I'm nipping in from the kijwin every couple of seconds waiting for Nadiya "choux-bomber*" Hussain's cookery programme to end so that University Challinj can come on at 8:30pm.

Anyway, I'm boiling the new potatoes, the soft boiled eggs, washing my hearts of romaine lettuce, assembling my inslate tricolore, toasting my buns gluten free baps healthy bread rolls and I keep running back in to check...

After a bit I'm thinking that this boring cookery programme is going on for a bit long so I check the time and it's well past 8:30pm and then I check and UC isn't even on.

So, an Bengali-British woman doing cooking (what is for women only in the first place) instead of an fusty, conceited, Oxbridge educated white man in his late middle age asking esoteric questions of Oxbridge educated Jac*b R**s-M*gg look-alikes and going "COME ON" in the manner of an antediluvian schoolmaster at a public school...

It's political correctness gone mad.


* geddit!?

[Nightjar]

I'm not hungry now.

It's like this...

From 1:25:

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Now to see what's on the telly tonight.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Concorde is on Channel 5.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

It is about Concorde.
