"Jim Morrison? He's a drunken buffoon, posing as a poet!"

Interesting. Well, here's the thing: you upvoted yourself, who the hell does that? Anyway, please go away.

When you see this degree of variability in a performance, the actor shouldn't take all (or sometimes any) of the blame. She's almost certainly doubling down on the spunkiness because that's the performance aspect that she's been asked to emphasise, even where it doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense.

All disagreements aside, it IS good to see so many aspects of the original movies make their reappearance: the Tie fighters, Princess Leah, Chewbacka the Wooky, the Miienium Falcon, Ham Solo… the list goes on.

People always get this one wrong. In fact, Blur were the Kinks, and Oasis were a second-rate Herman's Hermits tribute band.

Great, another film about forking roads. I hate those forking things.

I expect you're right. The effect is probably exaggerated even more by the fact that I'm not American, i.e. Halloween isn't really celebrated around here.

I think they've gone a bit overboard on this particular theme, anyway - every second article seems to be about horror, which wasn't the case for prior themed weeks, surely? Given that I'm not a horror fan at all, it's been a bit of a wasted week for me.

I saw it in the cinema so I couldn't exercise the fast-forward option, but was likewise bored - it was the first David Lynch thing I'd seen that really didn't work at all (in my opinion), and I ended up thinking that his public pronouncements about the movie ("although the TV show fell over, luckily I managed to find

Probably has as much to do with Barbara Bain being her mother as it does Martin Landau being her dad.

My opinion possibly doesn't count for much because I'm not fully Asian either (my ethnic mix is basically the same as his), but for what's it's worth, I don't mind the comedy Chinese accent - from what little I've seen of Britten's act, the accent seems to be used to represent actual people he's encountered (e.g.

Yes, exactly. I don't know what tv show everyone else here was watching, but it was very poorly done, in the end.

For what it's worth, as someone who isn't a comic book reader, I kind of hope they keep on downplaying that - I enjoy the show most when they focus on the "woman in a man's world" stuff, though I appreciate that they can't keep doing that forever. (And just to be totally inconsistent, for Agents of SHIELD I prefer it

Really? I read the guy's petition. If it's a joke, it's kind of oblique and not very funny.

Indeed. Don't mention anything about Australia that runs against the grain of our main function around here, which is to inspire the semi-regular regurgitation of quotes from that stupid Simpsons episode.

There's a very specific and boring historical reason why "broadband" was crammed into the job title, which has reverted back to "Minister for Communications" nowadays. (Also: not that anyone cares, but the shadow minister in question, Malcolm Turnbull, is actually our Prime Minister now, so the petitioner is weirdly

Also, it wasn't Will Harris, so it was doomed to fail.

Ok.

1) The English stop making tea with tea leaves, and switch to teabags; the British Empire collapses, and the UK joins the common market. I'm not saying there's a connection, but there's a connection.

Yeah, that's true.
