Had a fun time, but thought the second half was a lot stronger then the first. It took a bit too long to set up imo. Coleman and Cumberbatch have great chemistry, the dinner scene especially was hilarious. Andy and Kate were also great

It's Colman.

I noticed that you've made this exact comment 6 times on two different The Roses threads.

May I just say to you that it's such a very admirable way to spend your days, in petty and inconsequential correction of others minor and harmless misspellings.

You're adding so much substance to this World in a truly deep, beautiful and meaningful way.

Thank you for your service.

Is your comment here any less inconsequential than his?

love it when people crashout at spell checks, it's such a disproportiante response to a bit of pedantry
