Yeah. This was bollocks. It should have been the bollocks, but no.

This is fantacker.

More McGann. On TV. Now. Yesterday, even. He's a time - lord, dammit.

My (Bahamian) students absolutely adore this movie, and demand to see it again and again. They identify with Leon and enjoy the clowning of Sanka. It was recommended to me by one of my students, who could not initially identify why she loved the movie so much. After we watched it and discussed it, she said she

I'm not in.

I'm in.

This "tune" caused The Terribles (Leeds, circa 1980) to exist. Several eventual members heard it on John Peel and decided that if The Fall could get away with it, so could we. It's remarkable how accurately we remembered it, and our rendition of "Grud vs Brud" is very Fall - ish in its Fallocitudiness.

I too was scared silly by this as a kid - not so much by the actual monster, but by the general creepiness of the rest of the movie, which was what the director intended.

Beat me to it.

While I'm here, Spartacus made me blub too.

Blackadder. A million times Blackadder. A show that is fondly remembered by nitwits as a cosy sitcom transcended the genre and produced a finale that I still find hard to watch.

Also codpieces and ruffs.

She's a dem fine woman all right. Dem fine.

Tolkien had a more consistent universe. Lewis mixed Greek, Norse and Welsh/Gaelic mythology with abandon, and expected everyone to accept it as Christian allegory. I think the characterisations earn the books some credit, however.

I read "Horse" in one sitting when I was a nipper. I prefer it, "Chair" and "Nephew" to all the ones filmed so far. But I think they all deserve to be made into movies. (The last one may be a bit of a downer for all but the most rabid Christians, however.)

I hope not. He's Eeyore, Marvin and he was Tom Baker in the excellent BBC version. He's probably also Dolorous Ed.

There was talk of Coulson being resurrected as The Vision, but I see no sign of that being the case as yet.

Dr Strange would be way cooler. The Brother Voodoo comics were really naff.

Stan was credited as "Executive Producer" and it also said "Based on the comic books of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby". I hope this translates into something positive for the Kirby estate.

I thought that the strong guy was going to be Luke Cage, but it seems like SHIELD is exploring the ramifications of having gods walking among us, having Extremis around, and showing how these things affect ordinary folks. I don't anticipate any super - types here. And I want Lola.
