If they do a remake they really should lean into the meme that she was the killer all along and found the perfect way to frame others.
Who would star in a remake? Sandra Bullock? She's about the same age as Angela Lansbury was when she started the show.
Their remaking it with Lizzo
I would pay big money to watch a fat black lady sweat and heavily breathe her way through murder investigations. I want to hear “oh my lord” at least 3 times an episode and a “oh HELL NAW” once per season for the big season twist
kek yeah it would be kino if the protagonist was a stereotypical black mom
The sex between her and Poirot was INCREDIBLE
such a shame there's such disparate quality between the Poirot releases as different production teams worked on it
the first 6 seasons made by the first crew were golden, the early 2000s ones weren't bad but all the later ones looked so fricking cheap and weird
Are they frick. If anything the series does great justice to the tone of the books. In later life, Agatha Christie became disillusioned with life and it shows in the darker tone of her later publications, as it does in the Poiriot TV show. This is why it will always be kino and some slurping american halfwit on Cinemaphile whining about some contrarian bullshit to be edgy and cool will always be just that: the complaints of a total fricking homosexual.
the switch to digital HD cameras and use of digital color grading on the mid 00s episodes through to the end just looked markedly different than the more comfy analog film cinematography look the 90s episodes had
was a totally in-vogue look at the time but it's now synonymous with lower-budget productions
the writing and acting stayed top notch though
Yeah I'll give you that, but I disagree about the cheap look. The sets really carried it, and that one on the train where everyone was the killer was perhaps the best episode of them all.
That slightly fuzzy look things in the 80s and 90s had is so comfy.
wouldn't call the image itself 'fuzzy' but it had the feeling of knitwork, especially since you had earthy Green/Brown/Orange in the 1970's, light pastels in the 1980's, and the 90's used RBY so heavily.
yeah I don't know the exact word for it but everyone knows exactly what you're talking about if you mention it. It's like an specific look exclusive to the late 80s and early 90s. It just makes things instantly feel comfy to me.
For me, it was Little House on the Prairie
it's such a fine balance to stay comfy without becoming self-parody, most shows can't do it
Murder She Wrote, Burn Notice, Monk all were able to do it mostly
once shows do fan-servicey shit like having musical episodes or actively breaking the 4th wall it's fricking over
Lexx musical was kino
>Lexx musical
The WHAT?
?
I couldn't stand this show as a kid. It's grown on me since then though. There is something very comfy about these old style soapie crime series.
It's a very funny, cosy and interesting series. It's the American successor to Giallo movies imo
Is it S7 when Keith Mitchell sort of takes over in his cameo role?
The way I remember there were multiple episodes when Jessica told a tale of her detective or investigator friend. Sometimes it was Keith Mitchell but the guy who played Petrocelli also appeared in the same role. Maybe others too.
Every bit part character was either her nephew or niece
gotta feed them kids
she also gave guest spots to old broadway and film actors that were in semi-retirement, so they could keep their actors guild insurance
I used to watch this with my mom and grandparents.
Been watching this regularly for the past few months. The thing that makes the show for me is how relentlessly pleasant Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher is. For a show that had turn out 20 something episodes a season, the mysteries are usually pretty good and don't rely completely on asspulls that the viewer couldn't ever figure out.
>get old
>start wanting to watch all the shows that were grandma/grandpa shows when I was a kid
next up, Matlock
>Grandma got me into TV as a kid, loved old and new shows so we always watched both
Golden Girls is unironically hilarious.
Peak Lansbury
Erotic content and oblique references to masturbation at 45 minutes.
>that uplifting message at the end
god bless hags
The Cabot Cove episodes were peak comfy
>those old semi-Captain's chairs that old people used to play cards in
hard to imagine the same show in a dull modernist style
The average episode has more style in it than the average modern blockbuster has in two or three hours, just the capacity Hollywood had to recreate Maine in a 'more real than the real thing' way, or to depict the more ornate interiors of Spanish Southern California, or some Southern ranch. If an episode takes place in Florida it has an exacting picture-postcard look to it. And if you miss anyone from the 'greatest gen', this show will jog your memory in regard to what they were like, how they presented themselves, acted toward others, etc.
The demeanor, bearing, and gravitas of actors in that era always astounds me. They would never fail to present themselves in their best possible appearances and speak carefully and impactfully. I had an uncle like that, he would never be seen in anything other than his finest suits, he would come around on Christmas to give his best wishes with his fine coat and leather gloves and fancy scarfs and hat, just the utter picture of class. Now two and a half generations later, even being guilty of it myself I hate that we've devolved into a culture that considers it perfectly okay to just go out in an off the rack t-shirt and stuff our faces full of Arby's.
>Now two and a half generations later, even being guilty of it myself I hate that we've devolved into a culture that considers it perfectly okay to just go out in an off the rack t-shirt and stuff our faces full of Arby's.
well yeah, there is boho "schlub-chic" and then there's slobby, and you've got to plan accordingly. It's funny that suit fabrics are now lighter and more breathable than ever before and we just aren't wearing them at all.
>devolved into a culture that considers it perfectly okay to just go out in an off the rack t-shirt
Yeah, and a hundred years ago it was perfectly okay to go out in ragged filthy clothes because that's all most could afford. You only owned one or two outfits, and they'd better be warm and layered since most places aren't heated. And you'd better have a hat since you're outside all the time working some shit job and your hair is dirty.
It's almost like the average person has dressed simply and casually since the dawn of civilization.
It has nothing to do with what people are able to afford now. Go take your moral relativist homosexualry elsewhere.
People dressing like shit leads to an overall loss of self-esteem and competence. Your tortured analogy is ridiculous on multiple levels. A hundred years ago? Really? Here's 100 years ago, you goddamn zoomer. Wow look at those filthy rags. Not exactly a loincloth and string, innit? Gets pretty dusty up there, but you better believe they had their wives launder the shit out of those before church or the magistrate. No, people did not enjoy being as filthy as possible all the time. Only when it was pragmatically unavoidable.
>It's almost like the average person has dressed simply and casually since the dawn of civilization.
Ignorant as frick. Elaborate fashions and decoration have been in existence since clothing- before, even. No, the average person did NOT dress "simply and casually". The only ones who did were those in so much poverty they literally had no choice. A pre-war Japanese serf, who really did own nothing but that loincloth, or else just went around naked. And just how upwardly mobile were these people? Answer: NOT AT ALL. When you dress like dirt, when you have the appearance of dirt, you have the motivation of dirt. Obviously that's not the only separator class and wealth, but it's an effective tool to help ensure the divisions remain. It is a broad demoralizer to slacken traditions and the psychological need to present oneself appropriately to he world. An entire generation willfully dressing like slobs in greasy Ts every day thinking "this is fine, I'm just going to the 7-11, crocs are fine" is a generation that dreams no higher than that naked Japanese serf.
I'm with you on this, I do wear a suit once in a while even if the occasion doesn't call for it. Nothing fancy just something made to measure. Feels good tbf
>you will never be old
I hated when she played her British cousin.
For someone who was technically British, her British accent was dog shit
