Except that episode of Glee wanted to dip into the transgressive glamour of Rocky Horror without... well being transgressive. Around the time that episode aired, Richard O'Brien had come back to New Zealand and was applying for permanent residency and he was doing press ahead of the opening of a new stage production…

I'd like to lock Jan Švankmajer, The Brothers Quay and Guy Madden in a basement until they collaborated on the most diseased retro-mindfuck of all time.

that said, is it worse than Ultraviolet? because THAT was a steaming lump of something poorly executed on every level...

It's not a movie, but I'd love to see an adaptation of Kelley Armstrong's 'Last Stand' from John Joseph Adams' 2nd The Living Dead anthology. Just another story about a former teacher who is one of a handful of survivors of a standard zombie apocalypse — racked with survivor guilt at escaping while her husband and…

Perhaps, but TBF I've never heard anyone connected with a BBC production complain they had too much money and excessive post-production time. :) YMMV, but I think Doctor Who does a pretty good job of stretching a tight budget to breaking point. There's also a school of thought that, where at all possible, practical…

I am thinking that this is the fault of Moffat instead of the BBC.

But we don't see a body. I couldn't help wondering if both Solomon and Jex survived, and if we'll see them both again.

You're probably right. Hell, in the MPAA's world it's OK to put a spear through the chest of a 12 year old (in The Hunger Games), as long as it's not messy. Go figure...

Well, I feel much the same about James Cameron and would rather get a caustic soda enema that see Avatar 2 — but that's not likely as long as he keeps delivering Fox billion dollar paydays.

Fair point, but mine is that I just think they're going to have Zac Snyder (whose track record is a wee bit more mixed than Nolan's) on a shorter leash. I'm not holding out for Sucker Punch with more dick. :)

(Who are apparently bouncing back from that whole "bankruptcy" thing.)

I guess we're going to get a fourth film - The Hobbit: Tabatha's Dwarf Take Over; three glorious hours of Australian lesbian hair-stylist ball-busting.

Nolan had to join the billion dollar box office club - and already have successfully resuscitated a comatose franchise — before Warners would even think about signing off on something I suspect pushed the MPAA's limits for violence in a PG-13 pretty hard. (Though who the frak knows what goes through the minds of the…

Here's why I have severe doubts about this. Snyder is no Chris Nolan, and Man of Steel has to successfully re-boot a comatose franchise before it can start seriously pushing the MPAA's boundaries for a PG-13.

Monsters in a horror movie... What do you for an encore, complain Downton Abbey spoiled the First World War?

Actually, most of Ridley Scott's director's cuts have been pretty great :P

But I think it's also got a lot to do with the kind of film-maker Nolan is. Alfred Hitchcock once said that shooting was his least favourite part of film-making, because he'd already meticulously "made" the film in his head - every shot, every camera angle and edit, even often exactly how the actors would stand and…

Christopher Nolan has final cut on his movies with WB

Where do I send Nolan's "thank you for small mercies" gift basket?
