The Dark Knight Rises: Yes, it's probably the weakest of the trilogy, but some of the fan backlash I've seen against this movie makes it appear that it attained sentience, went round to their house and pissed on the rug. I kinda feel like I'm a black sheep for actually liking it.

V For Vendetta (movie)

I'm actually pleased they don't show up - it hints that they are confident enough that this movie can stand on its own without having to focus entirely on the nostalgia. And it hints that they old cast have supporting roles and won't overshadow the important players.

Thor booms "Seek out Tony Stark for thy remuneration!" and flies off.

Allow me to ponder it while being incinerated.

So you're saturating the environment with oxygen... to fireproof the world?

Why do people who watch this show keep thinking it's anti-soldier? It undeniably was under Russel Davies, but whenever Capaldi's Doctor's been anti-soldier, and he frequently has, I agree, the writing has specifically made us disagree with him *every single time*. His dislike of soldiers is always depicted as

Before I go into negatives, are these fairies the same ones seen in Torchwood?

Thoughts on this week's Dr Who:
