• I had a bout of insomnia last night and ended up vegetating to The Glass Virgin as I wanted to see all the hubbub about this Mr. Bates on Dowton Abbey.  It was very English TV mini-series.  Hong Kong has its kung-fu TVB series, England has crazy ass heroines who won't die and the whole series is about her falling in looooooooove.  Anyway, this movie is from 1995 and Brendan Coyle is somewhat shaped like my devoted supplicant so young Coyle has that going for him.  The movie was basically about this chick who doesn't get laid even after she's married because they keep almost accidentally kill people or she gets bad touched by random manor skeeves.  Or Coyle gets trashed and takes off with her nemesis who I don't remember from Part 1.  Coyle is cute, for sure.  But he's certainly more grandfatherly shaped now. 

  Anyway, this site critiques with screencaps and it's way better than anything I can snark at this time of night.  I'm still waiting for my kitchari to cook.  I won't eat until midnight, dammit.

  If you dare, the mini-series is streaming on Netflix.
