Might be a great game. Might not. Sounds cool, though. Either way, makes a great hand-fan. The ICC right now is "10,000 people worth of wet, sweaty exhales" levels of warm and humid.

Being present for this taping was one of my defining experiences at The A.V. Club. Glen Hansard was so funny, kind, and self-effacing throughout it. And when he sang, there wasn't room left for anything in the world but his voice.

This is how Homer wrote it in the first place. "Okay, so the guy lands on an island and there's this lady turning people into pigs... eh. I'm bored. They leave and go to a new island."

Neither! I've been freelancing for them intermittently since the day I left.

Ha. I tried this first with both my girl cats and they were like "What's this? Huh. Nope, bye."

Woof. Something to look forward to. And if you're feeding a cat in a bowl, there are much less expensive and wasteful treats!

He made such a mess that I couldn't get the rest of the goop out of the tube without getting it all over my hands. While I was navigating that, he started licking my pants, just in case there was somehow more treat there, and smeared it all over my pants, too. Truly the Worst.

I've mostly avoided 4DX myself because it seems gimmicky, and because I had one particularly nauseating experience with a film with a whole lot of seat rumble. So YMMV on that one.

Being this wrong really begs the question of what you're trying to do here.

Oh, for sure — don't let the book put you off seeing the movie. It's quite charming, and the mystery is silly, but not nearly as depressing and nihilistic as the book version.

Definitely more kid-friendly, but also more adult-friendly! Just more friendly in general! A lot of things about the movie mystery don't make sense (hair bleach isn't like covering yourself in chalk!) but at least it feels like a climax to the story they were telling. It doesn't in the book.

So add THE SHEEP DETECTIVES to the fairly short list of movies that are better (in this case, funnier, smarter, and livelier, though also much more sentimental) than the book they're adapting. That said, I'm still pretty curious about THREE BAGS FULL's sequel, BIG BAD WOOL.

The humor in the idea of "sheep detectives" is there, but it's drier, and the sheep are terrible detectives who don't solve the case. The solution to the mystery is radically different, dour, unsatisfying, and frankly baffling. I'm very impressed the movie is as slick, light, and fun as it is.

Weirdly, the sheep characters are mostly the same from the book to the movie. The human characters are radically different. There are some broad archetypal similarities (there's a priest and a butcher and a rival shepherd), but apart from their jobs, they don't resemble the book characters at all.

150

I knew the book and the movie wouldn't have much in common from the first page, where the sheep look indifferently at the corpse of their owner George (the Hugh Jackman character in the movie) and say "Well, he was a pretty bad shepherd." The whole movie is about how beloved and exceptional he was.

If they don't carefully lay a pinch of cat fur atop every one of the Cringer-themed donuts, this promo is a farce.

How much money for how much clothing? I think I'd enjoy a picture of someone wearing like 20 sweaters.

"But I guess they made an exception" is the actual motto of this administration.
