People used to praise me for my writing, I was told I should publish ...

That’s the MoS I love, in a completely different reality, where the movie actually shows these bits rather than concentrate on the destruction porn and try to shoehorn in violence and drama rather than let it flow from the story. About ten scenes, not even five minutes of screentime and 90% of complaints would have…

Here’s what happened : Warner/DC are in a pickle, they need to get their cinematic universe going as fast as possible, but as with so many things in Hollywood, everything is driven by fear and panic. Superman Returns bombed and Marvel seem to have a distinctive heroic flavour so the diktat from the top is “Make it…

It’s a fad, it’ll pass as soon as they regain their regular insanity ...

Borrowed a bunch of recent comics from a friend and I noticed one thing. DC are hell-bent on going back to the worst part of the nineties with vengeance and prejudice, all their artists are Jimleeing page after page of carbon-copy can’t-be-dark-enough, testosterone-filled, homicidal vigilantes, bending over backwards…

My guess is they had this marathon brain-storming session, they just kept blurting out ideas, the person taking the notes shouted “this movie writes itself !” then they simply hosed half the DC universe at the screen, then high-fived and patted each other on the back for an hour and went for a pizza.

Could be worse, could be a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp project ...

The real problem is that while George Lucas is a man of great talents, he’s not a good storyteller. If you outline the prequels the material is pretty good, it just needs a little polish, some dialogue and character fixes and the prequels would be fine films. The whole process of the earlier Star Wars films was…

Just wait till you see the “I can’t live without this !” smart nose piercing !

This article makes it sound as if the proper jukebox didn’t come into use until the 1950’s, and nothing could be more wrong

This is Koetjesreep. It’s not chocolate, it’s a low cost simulation of chocolate.

Already had the discussion shortly after the film was released on how it was utterly impossible for Rey to defeat a fully trained force user like Kylo Ren. Under normal circumstances, probably not, but Kylo isn’t playing with a full deck from the start and he took a solid hit from a weapon that sent Stormtroopers…

I thought she looked like Freema Ageyman.

It could be some kryptonite gun he intended to use on Superman or it’s something he found in Luthor’s lab or was designed by the army.

First thought after seeing it : WW is a badass.

He lives on the top floor of an apartment block, they did it during the day, when the majority of people are at work and a bunch of people dressed as workmen wouldn’t raise much suspicion in any case. And it was a brick/concrete wall, but they knew exactly which was the weakest spot, when he had his own armoured door…

It has a good mix of awesome and “stoopid” moments. The WW entrance was so damn good it gave me shivers. Didn’t care at all about the bad guy reveal ...

If they want to get in they will find a way. A friend’s neighbors installed an armoured door with locks that went all the way into the doorframe, you couldn’t get in even with a battering ram. So they just brought a power saw and cut out the wall around the door frame and lifted the door out, wall and all and just…

I always felt that if you kept the general plotline of the prequels, shifted a few bits and details around and had some talented people handle the script and direction it could have been amazing.
