I’ve not seen that yet, I hear good things but I’m put off by the fact that Ben Elton writes for it as his stand up is so terrible these days.

They won’t see all of that $150 million though, and I’m guessing they’d hoped it would do around $200 million to be declared a big success. I’m sure it’ll make money when it comes out on dvd / blu-ray, but given how great it is I’m surprised it didn’t do a little better.

Coming from the UK the concept of going to the cinema on Christmas Day is such an odd one, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to if possible but I’m pretty sure no cinemas are open over here.

They could meet a British politician who’s like Trump, and then claim that such a man would never be powerful in America. It’d be terrible admittedly, but it’s possible to do.

God I miss Sean O’Neal. Oh well, Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m a big fan of the comics so I’d love to see the Locke & Key pilot too, like you say it hasn’t been uploaded online yet but hopefully one day it will be.

Thanks for that, I’d oddly fascinated by unaired pilots so that’s another to add to my collection that I’ll watch soon.

Thanks to a certain dodgy site I’ve been watching a few unaired pilots, including: Unbelievables - Which stars a very young Steve Carrell, an even younger Ryan Gosling, and Tim Curry and Corbin Bernsen. I liked this an awful lot, it’s got an Incredibles-vibe about it as it follows a group of retired superheroes,…

IndieWire reported this on the 17th of December, and claim it’ll be a March release.

Edit: Just noticed that the Hollywood Reporter article is from the 17th as well and pretty much says the same thing. Ah well, at least the AV Club got there in the end.

Unfortunately the negative reviews put me off seeing it at the cinema, but at least when I watched it it was a fairly big screen. If it’s ever shown again though (the Prince Charles Cinema in London puts on lots of cult films for instance) I’ll be there in a second.

I saw Speed Racer last year for the first time and thought it was a huge amount of fun, it’s a shame it was such a box office flop as a sequel would’ve been great.

The two which stand out for my are Masaaki Yuasa and Kôji Morimoto’s Mind Game, it’s a stunning, completely bizarre piece of anime which I loved an enormous amount, and Lemonade Joe, a crazy western made in Czechoslovakia in the sixties which is also a musical, it’s a huge amount of fun and has a joyously daft ending.…

I thought the comic started brilliantly but began running out of steam around issue 30.

Indeed, the AV Club’s ongoing racism against us British is appalling!

I should have said replace if with when. But I didn’t, for I am a fool.

DeVito, if only when it comes to weight.

“Elon Musk if he was a murderer”? I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before the if is taken out of that sentence!

Possibly missing as I don’t know whether they were released in the US, but Matthew “Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace” Holness’s Possum was a bleak and disturbing horror flick which should be sought out by anyone who like those kind of films (though unlike Darkplace it’s played completely straight), and Heavy Trip, a film…

I’m with you on all three there. Maybe we’re identical twins who were separated at birth.

I’m a big comics fan and love the first Incredibles, but I was surprised by how many rated the second, it had it’s moments and was mostly fun but Holly Hunter sounded like a sixty year old woman who’d smoked sixty cigarettes a day and that aspect didn’t work for me, and I found the final set piece to be a bit by the…
