For me the best solution would to hire two people, a producer known for creativity but also bringing out the best in people (genuinely no idea who that could be) and then someone who knows and loves DC Comics, perhaps Mark Waid, Grant Morrison or Tom King, to oversee which movies should be made and the directions they…

Clapping for that long seems insane to me - I saw the stage version of Matilda in London last month and thought it was superb, and the lead actress was just amazing, receiving a standing ovation from everyone in the audience. But even then we only clapped for about four or five minutes, and it was only that long…

I’m quite enjoying seeing DC League Of Super-Pets take about five million a week, and hope this is how things pan out for the rest of the year, it’s not by any means an amazing movie but I thought it was sweet natured and occasionally weird, and enjoyed it well enough that I’d like to see a sequel.

I’m based in the UK and I’ve only seen standing ovations twice, once at a film festival where the director was present (Bobcat’s Sleeping Dogs Lie, which I loved to pieces) and at a screening of Donnie Darko.

Otherwise audiences might raise an eyebrow to show their appreciation, or perhaps even smile and nod at someone…

As someone based in the UK (a poor excuse, I know) I never knew that “The letters literally stand for “CBS” and “Warner”!”, and, er, thought it had started off as a country and western channel that had long ago branched out in to different areas. Yet do I feel shame? Yes, yes, it appears I do.

Hmmm, I could be very wrong, but this is my theory about what really happened: “...And after Amazon got involved in this project, my son came up to me one day, he looked me in the eyes very sincerely, and he said, ‘Mr Bezos, Sir, permission to speak?” and I said “Which one are you again?”. He responded that he was my…

Eh, I feel the redemption of Fire Walk With Me came about ten years after it’s release, certainly a lot of UK publications like Time Out and Sight and Sound revaluated it and decided it was a masterpiece (which I’d absolutely agree with).

I know it’ll vary from store to store and country to country (I’m based in the UK, for instance) but working for Blockbuster was fucking horrible, they treated the staff really poorly, the hours were long and the pay was terrible, and every time I picked up the phone I had to read a 60 second script telling the…

Jesus, I never thought I’d be writing these words, but I think The AV Club has finally found a writer who’s even worse than Sam Barsanti.

“From likable presence” - That’s not how I remember it.

Thanks for that, I’ll probably skip it then and just read some of his other books instead.

Apologies if this has been asked in previous comment sections, but has anyone here read The Satanic Verses, and if so, did they enjoy it? I’ve read Midnight’s Children, Fury, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, Haroun and the Sea of Stories and East, West, and sometimes love his work but sometimes find it a little…

If they cast her as the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (sorry Kendrick, but you’re too old to play Doreen now) and hire Ryan North to write it I swear I’ll go and see it if at least 5 times!

If anyone thinks that Tom Baker was playing the Doctor as asexual they really need to go back and rewatch his episodes. Sure, he wasn’t romancing characters left right and centre, but the pure sexual magnetism meant you knew he was getting it on with Romana the second the credits rolled (and yes, I know with Romana II…

I’d also recommend the Bill Hader, Mark Frost, Rachel Bloom and Russell T. Davies episodes, all of which were a great insight in to the movies they love.

I only got in to Unbeatable Squirrel Girl this year but absolutely love the book, it’s so warm and kind hearted, Doreen’s positivity is always amazing, it has fun with the genre while making the characters feel real and complex, and it’s built up an amazing supporting cast too. I’m a 48 year old bloke too, but I just…

Apparently it’s currently in its creators shed, which is a shame as it would have been great if they’d found a permanent home for it in the city.

Thanks for that, I’m going to be near Paddington next week and am obsessed with the most recent movies, so shall definitely drop by.

I loved the comics series as it was fast paced and fun and crazily inventive, with four great central characters at the centre of it.

I’ve watched the first two episodes and this is moving at a glacial pace, the second episode was especially weak on plot and while the character’s bonding was fun to watch, the various…
