A post that isn't about Strictly

shallownessI realise I haven't posted about much else recently, but I'm not watching much TV at the moment – if Supergirl were on Freeview, I would watch that and, for contrast, maybe The Last Panthers. Everybody having watched Jessica Jones makes me feel left out – I haven’t even seen Agent Carter, yet. I was also going to have a moan about not being able to see The Man in the High Castle either, but then realised I do have that counter-history book that I could read. I might give Tripped a try (the alternate universe bit interests me more than the slacker/stoner/bromance bit) if the Christmas run-upping calms down.
Speaking of, Christmas TV will also involve that Agatha Christie adaptation with Aidan Turner looking angsty and Douglas Booth turning up so I can make Jupiter Ascending references. Spiffing.
Moviewise, I haven’t seen the Captain America: Civil War trailer, or clicked on the spoilers for the no doubt weighty discussions, but I am relieved by what I've seen Natasha’s hair.
Also, regarding ancient Marvel suff (the casting spoiler about Thor 3), I know Bruce is in it because they couldn’t fit him into Civil War, but I hope they come up with a good in-story reason, and I very much want him and Jane to geek out over science and for Darcy to bemuse him. Too much to ask?
Meanwhile, as I’m not going to see Star Wars, it’s fairly slim pickings at the cinema – although Sisters is getting good reviews. The last film I went to see was Bridge of Spies (excellent) and the trailers seemed to promise that the Gleesons (father and son) and Ben Wishaw were in all the movies. The only trailer that left me thinking ‘I have to see that!’ was The Revenant.
As for the Golden Globes, did the Foreign Press Association watch a different version of The Martian to me, one where Mark Watney sang to make the potatoes grow, or something? Surely it's in the wrong category. I know it was a beaker half full of H2O film, but it was in no way a comedy.
