He might stay the main character, but I find it hard to believe any adaptation wouldn’t change his name. Some things are just too tongue-in-cheek to work onscreen. (Although maybe any adaptation should just go for it, stupid humour and all...)

I think he’s finally found a role that fits his natural liveliness and energy.

I have to say I feel the same way. The original film has memorable visuals and music, and deserves its place in history; but is almost soporific in its slow pace and lack of emotion or drama (outside of a few scenes). I realise the general coldness of it is part of the point, but it makes it a difficult film to love,…

A better question would be why the AV club, or indeed anyone, is watching Piers Morgan’s show.

For a minute, this almost tempted me to join Twitter. Then I thought better of it.

There is still the issue of what topic you choose to make your series about. I mean, I assume no one forced David Simon to make a series about prostitution in 1970s New York; that was his choice, and he can be criticised for it. But obviously there are still different ways of handling that premise, some more sexist…

Well, I am very very glad in that case I don’t know what that is.

This Londoner is totally happy about it, can’t speak for others. But I work in the same building as Uber is based here, and they’re shitting themselves.

Wikipedia suggests it may have had more to do with the suicide of his daughter Cheyenne shortly before filming began.

I believe in the book it was Monte Carlo rather than Montenegro, which makes a hell of a lot more sense (but is much more expensive to film in).

As for ‘what the implication was’ with Pussy Galore: it was pretty much that even a lesbian isn’t immune to the power of the 007 cock, even if she has to be, um, forced into it. Yeah, it has not aged well.

Much as I mostly enjoyed the first movie, I found that scene utterly indefensible, and one of the most unpleasant things I’ve seen on screen in a long time. I’m not against ultraviolence in movies - hell, many of my favourites include people dying in gory ways. But presenting a crowd of victims as far-right racists in…

I’m not sure I’d call Rick and Morty ‘as mainstream as you can get’. Anything on Adult Swim is a niche interest by definition, and it’s definitely aimed at us nerds. Successful as it is, I would still bet the vast majority of Americans have never heard of it.

‘Overlooked’ by whom? Finney won a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a BAFTA for that performance!

Evidently, a large enough number of people disagree with you for them to keep making them. It turns out that most moviegoers like things they’re familiar with.

Imogen Poots.

I believe ‘bae’ is Korean for ‘idiot’.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to stay off Twitter...

The meat dress makes an excellent choice of object in a game of Twenty Questions.
Sorry about your son.

I think that’s just Dench, she says it at least 10 times a day.
