I'm pretty sure that the line between comment, even valid political satire and straight-up attempted manipulation of the electorate by special interest groups with deep pockets is being crossed and then some in this election.

Yup! Kane had a largely-intact personal fortune too, for what little comfort it gave him.

An interesting parallel and one that is hauntingly correct. Like Charles Foster Kane, Lucas destroyed the glorious empire he created because of his enormous personal hubris and immense overreach (in his case, artistic). Like Kane, he is left only with the relics of his vision and the increasing scorn of those who once…

I wonder if Mack will take up the shield whilst Steve Rogers remains an outlaw? It seems like the sort of thing Secretary Ross may want to happen and something tells me that it will strain Tony's already-debatable loyalty to the Accords to the breaking point.

I strongly sense ironic sarcasm…

There's always this balance you need to strike between making a villain seem plausible and worth waiting for and not ruining it by giving him too much exposure too soon. Having read Infinity Quest and The Infinity War in its 1990s comic book form, it's hard for me because I KNOW that this guy is über-dangerous and…

More and more seems to be resting on the shoulders of Wonder Woman and Justice League in terms of the survival of the DCCU.

Agreed; Chris (Yul Brynner) was of uncertain morality - certainly he was a man who had done bad things but, in the end, he knew evil when he saw it and wasn't willing to tolerate it. Most of the original Seven seemed to be seeking either redemption or simply didn't like dirty even though they were hardly angels…

It sounds to me that they dropped a cookie cutter script, tried to make it 'relevant' (or at least 'edgy') by adding a flat-footed and heavy-handed political subplot about amoral rich men seeking power and presented it as 'The Magnificent Seven', something that it isn't and never will be.

Looking back as one of those who only saw Terminator after they had seen T2, it's sometimes interesting to speculate just how confused viewers may have been over trying to identify the good guy, especially given Kyle's borderline-feral behaviour in earlier scenes and the fact that all of the Terminator's pre-gun shop…

I haven't seen it either but those who have say that, compared to the extended edition, it's choppy and nearly incomprehensible.

There does seem to be a lot of concern about the theatrical cut of Suicide Squad. I wonder if, like Dawn of Justice, there will be a DVD-only 'special edition' that makes the whole thing easier to understand?

Halle Berry famously disowned Catwoman, strongly criticising her agent when she got the 'Worst Leading Actress 2011' Razzie, claiming that he had tricked her into taking on a ridiculous role in a bomb of a film. Could Leto be about to disown Suicide Squad? Will any of the rest of the headline cast follow suit?

Ultimately, I think a lot of people were expecting things of the character of Harley Quinn that simply weren't going to happen. The whole character is defined by her submissive and dependent relationship with the abusive, controlling and murderously insane Joker. He has so effectively crushed her original persona that…

The solution? In my book, the only option Marven (and DC, should they navigate their current rough waters) will have is to have the courage to say: "Okay guys, The End! We've reached the end of this tale and this meta-arc. We're going to start something new now; some of the faces will change and some will be totally…

Knowing the Doctor, probably "Everything".
