Dear Marvel,

"Wise (who acts like he’s still possessed by Twin Peaks’ Bob)"

'The 1960s television adaptation, Weldon asserts, “never came off as particularly gay.”'

That's probably more to do with 'Deadpool' than it is with 'BvS' crashing and burning, but the timing is really bad for WB.

Why am I now thinking of that scene where Bart and Milhouse find out that 40-year-old Seymour Skinner makes $25,000 per year and conclude, "Wow! He's a millionaire!"?

"we’re stuck with the same off-putting Superman (Henry Cavill) who
leveled Metropolis, snapped the neck of his enemy, and basically made
out with his sweetheart on ground zero"

"Millar is OK when he works on established characters"

If Snyder is genuinely inspired by 'The Fountainhead', he should blow up every copy of his films to prevent them from being exploited by parasites. A jury composed of anyone who's had the misfortune to sit through 'Man of Steel' would acquit immediately, without the need for a 50-page long speech first.

"people who are irritated that they saw a different movie than what was advertised"

We in the UK are all deeply grateful for what we owe to you and your country, whose entry into the war in 1941 was the turning point to victory and who did more than any other nation to ensure the defeat of Hitler. I salute you, and all your comrades in the Red Army.

American critics beware. Slagging off Eddie the Eagle will turn you instantly into Mitt Romney belittling the London Olympics in the eyes of the whole of Britain. We may have mixed feelings - mostly affection and embarrassment - about him, but there's nothing that stirs up the British sense of proud patriotic defiance…

That kind of thinking is what leads a national industry to thinking that all it needs to churn out is lots and lots of 'Johnny English'es and 'The King's Speech'es and nothing else. That way lies madness and Alan Parker.

Snyder as Haven Hamilton: "We must be doin' something right, to last 150 minutes!"

Just realised this is only 8 minutes shorter than 'Nashville', so I'm hoping for a freewheeling Altmanesque glimpse behind the scenes of the DC superhero industry that ends with (SPOILERS) Batman getting assassinated! (MORE SPOILERS) by Darkseid!!

This is why God invented the DVD pause button.

Satan cares not! His money is riding on 'Batman vs. Superman'.

Because her obiding obsessions were athleticism and physical performance - she was the original body fascist - and showing this in a context where her auteurism over-rides her ideology makes for (potentially) interesting drama?

There seems to be some residual online resentment that HTTYD2 "stole" an Oscar from The Lego Movie last year, even though it didn't win.

The BBFC is not a "government organisation". It's a private body set up by but largely autonomous of the industry. It's been empowered by statute to regulate video releases since the mid-1980s but regulation over cinemas is officially in the hands of local councils who usually (but don't always) defer to the BBFC's…

John Brosnan's 'The Primal Screen' includes his cautionary account of how the film of 'Carnosaur' came about, particularly how Corman cunningly inveigled him into handing over the film rights to the novel purely so that he could claim his 'Jurassic Park' knockoff was based on a source that predated Michael Crichton's…
