It really makes no sense to bring back any of the cast of any of the films, DC is largely seen as a disaster films wise, and a clean slate is desperately needed. For the record this isn’t what I want (I liked both Cavill and Affleck’s take on the roles a good deal, Gadot is fairly okay, while the Doom Patrol was…

Being based in the UK The AV Club was responsible for my seeing a huge amount of amazing tv series from 2010 - 2020 that either weren’t shown in the UK or were hidden away on some obscure cable channel.

But in the past couple of years I’ve missed so much. and am realising that’s because the site can’t be arsed…

Yeah, I felt that his insistence to have it prepared in a very specific manner, and by the same person who always makes it, was a clumsy attempt to suggest he was at the very least on the spectrum, but then it kind of ignores all of that.

It felt a bit odd that they make such a big thing about his need for food/energy,…

I quite like Dickens, but that comes from doing an English Literature degree where I had to study medieval mystery plays and poetry that you needed several dictionaries to understand (and even then I struggled) so when Dickens came along it felt like an enormous weight had been lifted from my shoulders.

I’ve seen this as it opened in the UK yesterday and I thought it was awful. It’s weird as it starts well with one of the best set pieces I’ve seen in a superhero movie, and there’s a funny scene after that, but then it seems to remember it’s a DC movie and so has to get miserable as Barry whines about his long dead…

Has anyone ever unironically used the word “Woke” and then not turned out to be a racist?

What worries me is this seems to be yet another sign of how fucked we are. Not that there’ll be fires like this every years, but it does seem scientists are predicting a definite increase, and in 20 to 30 years life could be very, very different unless we react now.

Yes, rape is very funny. You fucking cunt.

Absolutely. There is no proof whatsoever that he had the affair before the man was twenty, and the only reason it’s an ongoing story is because of the British tabloid ****s being homophobic, and the opening post is full of shit - Schofield may not be a decent human being (as many of those who worked behind the scenes…

I kind of get where you’re coming from (though Pixar first screwed up a long time ago with Cars for my money) but I doubt it’ll bomb financially, so many people have been waiting for so long for this to be released. And if it’s not as good as people hope it will be, it’ll be just a slight disappointment and it won’t…

All his talk about it being badass and cool is so fucking embarrassing, I’m really not sure that this site isn’t written by 8 year olds now. Either way, it feels like he’s doing this so the film speaks for itself, and if he read this article I think he’d be quietly mortified.

Wow, I was clearly quite drunk when I wrote that.

Are there any other decent adaptations of Romeo and Juliet? I never got on with the Baz Luhrmann version as I found it too shouty and a film which only occasionally was allowed to be gentle and affected, some of it was effective and certain performances were very strong, but I didn’t love it as many others did.

The problem I had with 2012 is that it peaks way too early, there’s that great sequence where Cusack is driving in an earthquake and the roads are being torn apart as he desperately tries to escape, but while there’s some decent enough scenes after that I didn’t find any of them as exciting as that part had been.

Absolutely, I mean it’s Pat Mills and John Wagner, who were both turning out some of the best writing of their careers at the time.

I hate shows like this, it’s exploitative and will only make people suffer, especially if they’ve had any kind of traumatic loss in their life time. And the line about “how they were allowed to happen” is ridiculous, no one allowed them to happen, but tragically human beings are sometimes foul, horrific things that mur…

Rather than “Created by Graham Yost, Silo is a sci-fi drama based on Hugh Howey’s novels”, shouldn’t it be “Adapted by Graham Yost...”. And yeah, I know, it’s how Hollywood does things these days, but it always annoys me when someone is given a creator credit, especially as most of the time that means they took…

In short, due to an overly complicated outfit she had on she accidentally peed on it, and Brett Goldstein helped her dry it with paper.

Other than that this video is shockingly bland, I like Borstein a lot but this was not worth watching.

Back in 1995 I saw a production of Design For Living in London that Weisz was in when she was 24, and it’s freaking me out enormously that she only appears to have aged by about five years since then.

The one thing I wanted to know is whether or not the casting of Chris Pratt actually made sense, and if his presence improved the film, but other than saying “the voice work is passable” there was no reference to him which felt a little odd. Ah well, I can happily miss this at the cinema it seems, and just wait for a…
