Quite so, thanks for stating. Given that no one had done it yet, and the likelihood of the joke being clever in and of itself was pretty low, I decided to go for the old-school Musician magazine end-of-the-book review format, championed by J.D. Considine. The initial format is, of course, a play on Robert Christgau's…

Best Torchwood ever, by far. Capaldi's amazing in it. A review might provide some impetus for non-Torchwod people to watch it…

Decent Band
Seventh Dream of Teenage Heaven is okay, but Express is fantastic. Avoid Earth, Sun, Moon, even though it has a great Jethro Tull parody, "No New Tale to Tell".

They brought Jean Grey back. That's what killed the X-Men for me the first time. I remember actually saying it out loud at the time. What a highfalutin' fellow I used to be.

Zardoz is a thinly veiled commentary on the fight between the high minded art heads of the British Left and their more guttural friends on the Right. A literal culture war, if you want to put it that way. Oh, and add "on 'shrooms" to that description, please.

The first clip alone makes me want to see this movie immediately. If the whole thing has at least half of the brilliance of that clip, I'm sold. I've seen bits and pieces on TV, but never the whole thing.

If you've ever read any of Tarkovsky's biographies, auto and so forth, then you'll realize that Tarkovsky's AD's post is a damned close approximation of how the actual man felt about religion and society. Damned reactionary, he was, misogynistic in many ways, and rarely able to deal with ideas outside of his own, but…

Dude, he helped make Ivan's Childhood. Give him some props.

Are the spaces there for us to write our answer?

Yeah, Morrison's X-Men run got me back into comics, too. The Xorn reveal was straight out of golden age comics, though. One of the things I like th most about Morrison's more mainstream superhero stuff is his ability to cross that post-modern sensibility with enough Golden Age tropes to make them refreshing.

I thought it was hilarious that he doesn't even flirt with her, and she so obviously would have done him on the console. And, yeah, I would so do Catherine Tate, console or not.

They can go all steampunk Cybermen for the rest of the series and I'd be happy. I thought the first one was a lot of fun, and Paul Morrisey's performance was great until the script gave him only one line every five minutes towards the end.

I hoped it would be a Quatermass-style story. It looked like it from the adverts. That last Quatermass story is too long by about an hour but is still really good. The cut down version is okay, but loses a lot of the show's personality.

Donna Noble.

I'm still waiting on reviews of the recent Doctor Who specials.

Watch the "Brainy Barbarians" episode of the series Terry Jones' Barbarians for an in depth look at the thing.

Shit. Didn't fact check close enough. Greene is actually only 7 years older than Gardner. The movie still rocks, regardless of my pot-addled memories.

And the fact that Lorne Greene, who plays Ava Gardner's father, was actually younger than her. And she was much, much older than Charlton Heston.

The Vulcan stuff comes to me second-hand from a seriously scary Star Trek fan I used to know. It's entirely possible that he, and then me, are incorrect about this. There's also this blue Star Trek book that came out after the first movie that purported to be a legit history of the Star Trek universe that mentioned…

Yes, it may have been a Next Generation game. I am sure it ended up somewhere about 100 feet from my house after I threw it out of the backyard. It was one of those "That's IT??!! That's all there is??!!" moments in gaming.
