Oddly enough I was only reading it last week as I finally got around to watching “Me and Orson Welles”, and was greatly relieved that Norman thought it was terrible as that was my reaction to it as well.

Since the charity shops have reopened in the last couple of weeks I’ve been lucky enough to pick up a sod load of graphic novels for about £2 a shot, including a fair amount of Chew, Hellblazer and Y The Last Man. Unfortunately I also bought Garth Ennis’s Pride & Joy which is packed full of toxic masculinity and a…

I’m often frustrated by the quality of some of the writing on the site, but that was a very thoughtful, touching tribute to her, so thank you for it.

This is really grim news, he often spoke out about the appalling racism he’d been subjected to, so to now hear he treated women in such a way is depressing indeed. 

Ah how I miss the days when the site’s writers knew how to spell the surname of one of the greatest film directors ever known.

I’m very confused as to how I feel about America: The Motion Picture, on the one hand it’s directed by Sealab 2020 and Frisky Dingo’s Matt Thompson, but on the other it’s written by Doom and Wonder Woman 1984 scribe Dave Callaham, so I’ve no idea how it’ll turn out.

Quite. I love Citizen Kane and I love Orson Welles (This is Orson Welles by Welles and Peter Bogdanovich is a book I adore a ridiculous amount), but the best film of all time is clearly Dude, Where’s My Car?

You’re not wrong, I didn’t think it was possible for me to think worse of the artist, but he’s managed to pull it off.

Thanks for that, I forgot to mention I have seen and enjoyed Another Round, but I’ll check out Time, Collective and Better Days too, though probably will give Quo Vadis, Aida a miss as my mind is a fragile thing these days.

I know it’s easy (and fun) to mock the Oscars, and 2020 was a depressingly horrible year in general, but apart from having watched and really enjoyed Wolfwalkers and Judas And The Black Messiah, and having watched and tolerated Soul and Onward, the only other film I plan to see is The Sound Of Metal, the rest seem…

That was a fantastic interview, I admired her hugely already due to her performances in You’re The Worst and The Boys, but now admire her even more as a person as she sounds so down to earth / is a sci-fi and comics geek.

I agree with you about Soul, and the last 10 - 15 minutes of Onward, but what came before it was a little uneven, fun in places for sure but lacking in anything which we hadn’t seen before.

I’m a Wolfwalkers man myself anyhow, I’d be surprised if it won but really hope that it does.

If it is, it’s incredibly dry. And shit. But I suppose it’s better than a genuine fuck up.

Christ, we’ve now reached a point where a writer for the AV Club doesn’t know the difference between the Marvel and DC Universes, which for a pop culture website is pretty appalling.

I watched it last night and was impressed, that scene early on at the birthday party where the camera remains on his beautifully lit face was stunning, I could have watched a good more ten minutes of that as he’s so expressive yet subtle as well.

Piranesi’s a lot of fun, it’s fairly simplistic compared to Jonathan Strange but I found myself gripped by.

I’m reading Starship Titanic, the book of Douglas Adams game by Terry Jones, it’s patchy and then some but it has its moments and as it was cheap I’m not complaining.

I liked GvK a fair bit and there is a lot of fun monster fighting, but there’s still way too much human nonsense in it, what with Strange Things girl and Hunt For The Wilderpeople boy tracking down Paper Boi from Atlanta, some woman and her deaf prodigy flirting with Kong / Eric From True Blood, and it would have been…

I don’t get the love for Geoff Johns either, I’ve read a good deal of his work and at best it’s mediocre, at worst it’s tedious and full of clichés.

As much as I like to complain about Barsanti, for once he’s not to blame: “For a more detailed breakdown of the weekend’s box office numbers, take the shortcut through Hollow Earth to Box Office Mojo.” (https://www.boxofficemojo.com/weekend/2021W14/?ref_=bo_wey_table_1)
