My problem is that Sherlock 'bested' the enemy simply by shooting him, and he only managed that through a massive plot hole: that Magnussen – who is set up as being very careful – fails to have Sherlock and Watson searched. Sherlock doesn't out-think him, he doesn't use psychology or work out Magnussen's weaknesses –…

Jurassic Park…. Or Cock.
ET, The Extra Testicle.

Stupid US Mint – they've got a licence to print money I tell you!

Alec Guinness's published diaries note him being offered a part in The Age of Innocence, and him turning it down in disgust at the tiny salary. How come Scorsese pays so badly for his films? Seems a bit exploitative – 'I'm a great director so you'll do this for next to nothing'.

Aidan Turner in The Hobbit actually has very little dwarf make-up, despite the fact that he's the least dwarf-life out of all the actors. He joked that he was too good-looking to have a false nose added etc, but I don't think it's a coincidence that they left the best-looking actor the least tampered with.

Yup, this movie is truly terrible. A romantic comedy that's not at all romantic and never in the least bit funny. Unfortunately I'm quite busy right now, so don't have the time to list all the ways it sucks, so I'll just say that it's really diabolical.

Moffat does re-write. Listen to his recent interview with Ken Plume (on 'A bit of a chat with…) and Moffat explains when and how and why he re-writes and when he deliberately holds back.

Pretty much EVERY Dr Who episode ends with The Doctor solving the problem by either
A) Spouting pseudo science BS
B) Telling someone to concentrate/remember very hard on something they love.

You and everyone else, idiotking!

Why? Hating Part 2 doesn't mean you should hate Part 3. The latter was a 'back to basics' film that got rid of all the dystopian stuff, most of the 'chicken' stuff, kept to a simple plot, avoided all the paradoxes that made no sense, and had a sweet romance between Doc and Mary Steenburgen.

Yes, the 'chicken' thing really annoyed me. Where did that come from? In the first film Marty was a cool everyman. In the second one he's a total douche.

Secretary – sadomasochism; Sex Lies and Videotape – impotent, voyeuristic; White Palace – much older woman. There DOES seem to be always something up, sexually, with his characters.

You shouldn't sleep with people just to 'save yourself some trouble'.

"Legend has it that Hughes originally had Andie choose Duckie over Blaine, but test audiences hated it"

Yes, Ducky is a dick. When he kisses Annie Potts and says to Andie "You've been replaced", it's almost as unpleasant as when Emilio Estevez forces himself on Andi McDowall in St Elmo's Fire. I guess guys pushing themselves on women was an 80s Brat Pack movie thing.

Why do you think Truly Scrumptious had that name in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Does no-one say 'pretty tasty' to describe an attractive lady where you are?

You are right. And I hadn't thought of point 3.

Strictly speaking, I am the boss.

Gold! Extra points cos Miller is the boss.
