Best Mark Strong performance has to be Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. He’s not in that many scenes, but his world-weary attitude says it all.

Matthew Vaughn clearly liked him, since he also cast him (to good effect) in Kick-Ass and Kingsman. So this is not his first experience with comic book movies by a long shot.

Well, with Kevin Spacey indisposed, someone’s got to take over as Hollywood’s go-to guy for bald villain roles...

People who recognise that porn actors are workers like anyone else, who deserve to get paid fairly for their work? People who steal porn are assholes.

Hang on, you mean there’s stuff on Tumblr that *isn’t* porn?
(Also: when did ‘stanning’ become a word? That looks like a typo for something, but I’m not sure what.)

...It’s going to be written in Esperanto?

I’m not sure about the details of that law, but surely it would be the POTUS’ responsibility to ensure his communications are archived, not Twitter’s. He’d be the one liable for relying on an inherently unstable communication medium.

How Valk got talk-n-balked.

Gee, that almost reminds me of someone...

As far as I can tell, the only people who really find Twitter useful are trolls, PR people and lazy journalists.

There is actually a spin-off novel with almost that premise, with the puntastic title Who Killed Kennedy.

If there’s one thing Hollywood has taught us, it’s that there’s no such thing as an unadaptable work. Just some for which adapting to a different medium would be a bad idea.

I’m genuinely unsure how Dan Savage gets away with it, but Savage Love is still right there...

Well, I’ve never watched The Good Place, but Veronica Mars was a great little show, a cut above the usual run-of-the-mill teen dramas. It got a bit overpraised, but is still well worth watching if you like that sort of thing done well.

It also has absolutely no need for a sequel.

I remember thinking the original comic expressed teenage anger towards their parents better than almost anything (remember the scene where they recall the lies their parents told them?). Like Buffy, it used a fantasy scenario as a powerful metaphor for real teen emotions. I hope that aspect comes across in the series.

My metaphorical money’s still on ‘shot in the back by his own Secret Service agents’ and/or ‘poisoned by the CIA’ . Deep state, please save us!

It reminds me of the equally ridiculous controversy at the 2013 VMAs, when Miley Cyrus did a (supposedly) sexy dance with Robin Thicke, and at the time got way more shit for it than he did. In both cases it was like people just ignored the guys involved. (To be fair, Thicke did eventually suffer his own public…

I think everyone kind of forgot that Agents of SHIELD exists, including Marvel.

“You can write this shit George, but you sure can’t say it...” (Ford, of course.)

It’s almost like they’ve got a new album out...
OK, I’m not suggesting his death was part of some promotional publicity stunt. Although now the thought has occurred to me I can’t completely rule it out. It worked for Bowie!
