Did she say her hometown was Sherwood? Or did I mishear that. There's a whole lot that can be read into that…

Meh, you act like the donors have been conned or something. We wanted a Veronica Mars movie, the studio clearly wasn't going to make a Veronica Mars movie without extra cash. We paid extra and thus got the thing we wanted, that otherwise we'd not have got - simple as, theres really isn't any squeezing or con going on.…

@google-6b3ff9eaa8508e72a0eb84cea1c5eeab:disqus Apparently they want to do Red Dragon as the fourth-ish season. Not that we're going to get there but yeah..

His mum had plenty of guns. That worked out well for everyone

I thought the callback here worked really well in highlighting the loss of the past and moving on. I remember during the episode feeling that it was closer to an old school HIMYM episode than many of the recent ones; the main plot about deciding whether to go out or not, hangover vs. "legendary memories", was a…

I've never heard of it before and discovering it through this article has brightened up a long work day immeasurably. It's like the thing was written specifically for me, wonderful darkish surreal humour yet kind of soothing, clever world building of a small town (my Twin Peaks fixation has led to an automatic soft…

This. I'll happily pay twice rather than pay no times and the film not exist. This was the whole point of the kickstarter

Your final point is the whole point though no? Regardless of whether this gauged an accurate amount of interest or not (and you totally make valid points towards the interest still being small) the point of the kickstarter was to get the film made, and the only way the studio would sign off on it is *extra* money (so…

But the point of the kickstarter (with respect to your two points) is that they proved the small chunk of fans are willing to put in more than a ticket price (which has given them a decent chunk of funding) and shown there's probably enough interest to offset the distribution costs (screenings etc) - which I assume…

I can kind of see the reasoning. The kickstarter is proving there's interest *and* people are willing to put money forward for that (see how many people here posted that they've chipped in 35 rather than getting an illegal copy). The problem with culty/geeky stuff - particularly films is the people who watch them know…

Derren Brown has essentially made a new kind of magic - it's amazing. He does these tricks, waffles a bit about NLP and so on (which is the equivalent of magicians talking about their magic power/wand/etc) and people legitimately believe he's this incredible master of mental powers. By adding some vaguely related to…

Pah, go and watch Knightmare (which I believe the gameological society did an article on recently). British kids TV show (that was awesome and way ahead of it's time). Of the approximately 70 teams that played 8 won.  It wasn't until the second season of the show that anyone won and there was at least one other season…

I enjoyed Pines but it's by no means a great book. It's pretty actiony and moves along at a brisk pace - I read fast, it took probably 4 hours to read the book and I certainly didn't regret reading it.  It sets up a nice mystery, jumps around through several set pieces and the twist/solution works fairly well.  His…

I'm from Britain. I recognise the subtleties and nuances that differentiate our different accents. I've met british people with fantastically oddball voices that I can't even place. My own accent is a rather weird mix of posh/clipped and stereotypically Essex (a rougher version of the london accent that pervades Guy…

Don't they break the year in advance rule by talking about currentish events? Aukerman actually mentioned in an interview (possibly the top 3 episodes one here) that he loves to have bits which he does over and over again every episode, sometimes slightly adding to it - and then completely stopping doing it. I thought…

Eh, "legitimately long stretches" is an exaggeration. There was a chunk in the middle of the podcast where they did that, which yes, wasn't great but it's not like the whole thing is interrupted by silence.  I enjoyed it as Shlesinger was engaged with the concept enough to talk openly but combative enough to call Pete…

I started watching Eureka when bingeing through BSG. I needed something light to offset so for every 3-4 BSG episodes I'd end up watching a Eureka episode to ease up. And I'd never watch BSG as the last thing in the evening :P Worked quite well..

I think it can go two ways. I watched Lost as it was happening and yeah a hell of a lot of the fun was discussing it (it started when I started university and quickly became a fixture where a big group of us would get together, watch it then sit around drinking and discussing what we thought had happened - watching it…

Basically that, it's an interesting podcast but it's really not "who charted" in that they barely talk about charts and Steve-O talks a lot more that Howard and Kulap. However it's still very worth listening to and a nice changeup over the usual format. Steve-O has some interesting things to say (and some crazy things…

Dark Place is clearly super influenced/homaging/mocking Riget.  The shots of the hospital and the theme music are clear references. Also IIRC several of the fake credits (that come up after the opening) in the show are Kingdom references (I definitely remember a 'Von Trier' and possibly a 'Helmer' although it's been a…
