This could work so long as they take their time and put together a really top-notch hairstyling department.

Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland reunite for a shockingly explicit cameo when Spider-Man swings by a steamed-up hotel window.

“Is my diabolical plan becoming clear now, Spider-Man? Once this shot-on-location summer blockbuster is released, Venice will be crammed with even more tourists, shaking its foundations with their smoke-belching cruise ships and clogging the streets in their slack-jawed tour groups.”

Any supervillain looking to destroy Venice had better get a move on if they don’t want flooding, cruise ship erosion, and rising sea levels to beat them to it.

This list has made me realise that the only ‘new’ game I’ve played all year has been Assassin’s Creed III Remastered, a seven-year-old historical epic about how violent Bostonians are. Along with RE2 and the upcoming FF7 remake, it got me thinking about how much effort the games industry is pumping into letting us…

Natasia Demetriou’s utter contempt for the name “Jeff” is so hilarious that if What We Do in the Shadows had the audience it deserved, it would kill off the name for at least a generation.

After reading about it for years, hearing about the upcoming film adaptation has finally prompted me to start on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I’ve been through all Bioware’s Dragon Age and Mass Effect games, so it’s a bit like visiting a nursing home to meet their grandparent. In fact, I wasted quite a bit…

This is just typecasting based on the time Boy George had Adam Ant torn apart by starving dogs.

It’s over-hyped, inferior, and leaves a lingering bad taste in your mouth. 1985 rightly rejected it, but 2019 deserves New Coke.

This article completely misses the main revelation of the Guardian interview - Lena Headey is apparently starring in a reboot of The Mask.

The Singerlarity.

There’s such a fine line between ‘canny realpolitik’ and ‘pre-emptive surrender’. I mean, I’m sure a lot of Democrat politicians believe Fox News holds more sway than the Constitution in modern America, and they may be right - but isn’t it part of their job to at least pretend otherwise?

We, the fans, have been left unhappy -nay, betrayed! - by this drawing and demand that he redo it according to the detailed plan set out on my lucid and objective YouTube channel SMHLameOfGroansSMH.
