I don't get it.

Try not to cry

With the exception of #7, I think these points were initially made by Jon Favreau and Joss Whedon. But Marvel hiring 3 known "funny" directors (3.5 if you count Shane Black) shows they got it from day 0.

"Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?"

Seems artless compared to the original.

"How many times did we watch old episodes and say to ourselves, "There's no way that would work!" Ah-ha! Now we see that the 13th Doctor went back and took part in the events behind the scenes, making them work flawlessly!"

Meccano sets used to come in "box standard" and "box deluxe" versions, which eventually became the terms bog standard and dogs bollocks.

I'd like to see that. Anyone have a link to that scene?

I've been confused about this since the first time I learned of it (via a BBC Horizon special): what's the difference between calorie restriction and slowly starving? Do they expect you to slowly lose weight for the rest of your life, or is it simply not gaining any weight? If the latter, wouldn't that be calorie…

No mention of who did the music?
