The Real Reason I Stopped Loving BBC’s Sherlock
The Paradox of the Grand Council: The Emperor Present, the Institution Absent In the seventh year of Yongzheng, war with the Dzungars in the northwest was pressing. Yongzheng established the Grand Council, originally the Military Planning Office. It had no formal office, no fixed membership, and no independent authority. Grand councillors were appointed by the emperor from grand secretaries, ministers, and vice ministers. Their work was to receive edicts, draft edicts, deliberate, and supervise implementation. The Grand Council bypassed the outer court and connected directly to the emperor. Memorials came in. Vermilion rescripts went out. Court letters went straight to provincial governors. It was fast, secret, and controlled.

'Heat and Dust' (1983): The Scandalous Affairs of Merchant Ivory
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can spend an afternoon happily watching a movie about British people having complicated feelings in India, and those who would rather be trapped in a room with a malfunctioning VCR playing Buckaroo Banzai.

I Stayed Up for Blizzard’s StarCraft Reveal. They Gave Me Three Minutes of CG and a 2030 Release Date.
StarCraft in 2030: Blizzard's Three-Minute Void Demo At the 2026 BlizzCon opening ceremony, the lights dimmed and the StarCraft logo appeared. Many people in the livestream held their breath. The official website had been glitching. The community had been digging through ARG clues and analyzing the Terran Dominion's "Cursebind Project." Everything pointed to something big.

'Heavenly Bodies' (1985) - Spandex, Sweat, and the Great Canadian Aerobics Cash-In
There was a moment in the 1980s when it seemed like every woman in America was wearing a leotard. Not just any leotard. A brightly colored one, preferably with a belt. Maybe some leg warmers. Definitely a headband. The hair was big, the music was loud, and somewhere in the background, a woman was shouting instructions about tightening her buns.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma
I know a “you either hate it or you love it” movie when I see one. Sitting in the cinema watching this, there was no doubt in my mind that this was exactly the kind of movie I was watching. Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is the latest movie by American director Jane Schoenbrun. It’s their first release since I Saw The TV Glow, a movie that has gained a loyal cult following over the last few years.

"Angel in the Rubble" is a Movie About the Last Survivor of the 9-11 Tragedy
When the world remembers September 11, 2001, the images that rise first are often the ones of devastation—falling towers, clouds of ash, and the collective grief that swept across the nation. We remember where we were and what we were doing on September 11, 2001 at 8:46 a.m.

Supergirl Was Good Actually. Top Story - September 2026.
I am going to go on the record as a defender of Supergirl (2026). This may seem controversial. After all, people generally did not like Supergirl (2026) for reasons I have seen very poorly articulated, and most criticisms I’ve seen stem from the fact that it is not profitable. (I have seen one article speculating that generative AI was used for Lobo concept art, but this allegation is not confirmed.) So let me break down the parts of it I liked, and speculate in kind why I think this movie was so poorly received.

168 million nights At 10:30 p.m., a man finishes cleaning the kitchen. He wipes the stove, wrings out the dishcloth, and drapes it over the faucet. He lies down on the bed and picks up his phone.
