I know everyone’s going mad for Oppenheimer at the moment but for it to win Best Visual Effects seems insane, there’s a couple of sequences which use them and the way it captured the explosion seems to have been the biggest complaint I’ve read in many reviews. Either way, to say they’re better than something like Spide…

I really loved Boy Swallows Universe but then I bought Dalton’s second book and quit after two hundred pages (and with another two hundred to go), it just felt like it’d got stuck at a specific point and didn’t know how to get past it. Anyhow, I’ll still definitely check out the tv version of the novel, and hope they…

I loved the first two seasons of Succession, but two episodes in to the third and I stopped enjoying it, these were awful people treating others terribly and it started affecting me negatively. Which is weird I know as that describes the first two seasons as well, but out of the blue I just felt like I didn’t want to…

Huh, when I go to notifications it says I don’t exist. So I just want to do a quick test by posting here.

Also, I forgot about the Tippytoes movie. I am a monster.

I think you’re sadly right, and there’s a whole bunch of Morrison’s work which will never be adapted.

I agree, and the ending to the sixth volume was so bad that even though I enjoyed the first three trades enormously I’ve put all of them up on Ebay as there’s no way I’ll ever reread them.

Let’s get this right... Are you saying... somehow... that you don’t want to see young children being horrifically murdered when you watch a sitcom?

Bloody hell, America has really changed. I mean, there was a school shooting in every episode of The Simpsons and that’s considered an all time classic!

The answer to this is so ridiculously obvious and simple that it amazes me that Feige hasn’t realised it. And it can be summed up in four words:

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl-Verse.

So a run of films starring Doreen and Nancy, then Chipmunk-Hunk, Koi-Boy, and Brain Drain films, before a the major event revolve around The…

Or adapt Jonathan Hickman’s The Manhattan Projects (or for the first four trade paperbacks, at least, then pay him to write a proper ending).

I’m guessing it must come down to site traffic, if writing some half assed nonsense about Scorsese gets a lot of people clicking on it then they’ll just keep on doing it, at least until it stops working (RIP Random Roles, out of all of the wonderful things that the AV Club once published, I miss you the most).

All your favorite stars are in the sci-fi film Fingernails - Well that’s not true, I checked on imdb and the entire surviving cast of Twin Peaks aren’t in it, and neither is Andy Daly, Jon Glaser, Tituss Burgess, Geraldine Viswanathan, Matt Smith, Karen Gillen, Kathleen Byron or the guy who voices Paddington Bear in…

They’re bring back Drop The Dead Donkey with nearly all of the original cast - https://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2023/05/29/53219/drop_the_dead_donkey_to_return_as_a_stage_show - I’m tempted to go but I think I’ll wait for the reviews first.

Also, this is such horrible, shitty news. I really loved her as an actress, I saw…

I love everything about it apart from the insane seating in the main auditorium, the way it dips in the middle seems mad to me and I can’t understand why it was designed that way.

It really annoys me that they didn’t stick with Trevor Einhorn, he was amazing in The Magicians and I’d much rather have seen him take on the role than a newcomer.

I disagree, it’s fucking depressing that they can’t even get the title right, and it makes the snark that accompanies it seem even more pathetic than it already was.

I do plan to watch them some time soon, and a friend told me the first movie is great as well, so hey, I might turn in to a very late starting Spongebob fan this year

I’m a guy in his late forties based in the UK who has never seen a full episode of Spongebob Squarepants, sure, I’ve seen clips, and I’ve seen it parodied on various other shows, but at best I think I’ve seen about five minutes of the cartoon.
But I managed to get really cheap tickets for the London run of the musical…

Animal Man was the first character I thought of when I saw the title of the article, but then an adaptation of Peter Milligan’s Shade The Changing Man could be incredible with the right showrunner.

My friend fell asleep during The Batman, so when he downloaded a cam version to see what he’d missed he told me that the picture quality on the cam version was fairly decent, but the audio was weak and weird.

It sounds to me that they’re quite similar, but Smith had nothing to say other than “Well that was shit” before moving on to the next bit. If he’d deconstructed the material, and maybe rewritten it so it was funny then I think there’s mileage in the idea, but he didn’t go anywhere near that idea.
