So you're from Memphis, @avclub-4ffb0d2ba92f664c2281970110a2e071:disqus …?

I laughed at the Sick Dick Jokes which followed, @unspeakableaxe:disqus - but yeah, Flame-grilled or smoked chicken with Mustard BBQ Sauce? Ambrosia.

And it just keeps cumin, and cumin, and cumin, @disqus_Ohsq2c9IHa:disqus ?

Oho, @disqus_DT8q1VdPN9:disqus - I did not know a lot of this! I know he's wealthy even for a major Bollywood star, he does a lot of television game show and reality show hosting (nice paycheck, not a lot of work), and his name was among the celebrities listed in the "Panama Papers" who have a lot of offshore tax…

I can't entirely put my finger on why, @disqus_DT8q1VdPN9:disqus - but that seems so like Amitabh Bachchan. His father was a highly-regarded poet, right?

Only occasionally.

Actually, I really like him now that the show's settled into him as a character. At first I felt it was too self-consciously trying to get away from Matt Smith's "Doctor Boyfriend" portrayal, and almost veered into Colin Baker "The Doctor is a Shit!" territory - but the writing improved and Capaldi's Doctor got The…

Unlikely, @mynameisbleurghtoo:disqus , given she's already killed in both Attack the Block and Broadchurch.

Hey, she was great in Attack the Block! Maybe she can get John Boyega as a Companion, once he gets bored spending most of The Last Jedi sleeping…?

I wasn't sure, but I half-expected it to segue into Hidden Citizens' cover of Mike and the Mechanics' "Silent Running"….

I didn't dislike it, @two_fucks_for_bela:disqus and @PresidentZod:disqus - but I tried going back a few years later to re-read it, after having been thrown out of Sunday School for asking the Assistant Pastor who taught it "Well, what if God's Hitler? Then blind obedience would be bad, and free will would argue…

My wife watched this with me, and she said, "WTF? This has been Hollywoodized and Disneyfied to a fare-thee-well! The great thing about L'Engle's book was that the Battle Between (Christian) Good and Evil was set in ordinary settings with ordinary people rising to the occasion!"

I remember Larry Niven writing about this back in the 1970s for Analog, when the furthest they could teleport photons was across the lab. He saw it, as did whichever Assistant Editor here made the Kelvin TREK reference, as the starting point for teleportation of objects and people, which he'd turned into a series of…

She's Arya Stark, of course she has magical knife-repelling intestines!

Well, I bought the book for my B&N Nook eReader with some leftover Birthday credit, and - this guy's notion of "Shadow Cinema" and "B Movies" and mine are two very different things. Instead of talking about the kind of movies you'd actually see in drive-ins or grindhouses, most of his "transgressive" movies are very…

Also, standard-def video copies in a HD world, @avclub-0b4cb9d7a99b0694ff6b4e547848e61b:disqus.

Also, standard-def video copies in a HD world, @avclub-0b4cb9d7a99b0694ff6b4e547848e61b:disqus.

Yes, I got that, @avclub-c70044e2a75b836382fdcd39520ff0ab:disqus.

Not completely, @samatict:disqus - though I did, in my rage, sort of smush two different news items together into One Bundle Of Incredible Suck….

AND - you can cast him as Steven Moffat's idea of Sherlock Holmes, @Halo_Insider:disqus!
