Steven Knight’s second stab at Dickens, begins with Pip (Fionn Whitehead) hanging himself

...it just may finally be time, in the words of Dwayne Hicks, to call game over, man.

Just awful. He was a huge talent and made everything he was in better. I’ve been re-watching Fringe lately and it wouldn’t have been the show it was without him. He was such a pro and it showed.  This is hard news.

As someone from the city itself, I found Belfast absolutely nauseating. Twee, inauthentic nonsense with Van Morrison blaring over the whole film. It’s the Irish equivalent of Hillbilly Elegy.

just rewatched Crazy Ex-Gf and fuck that show is good and big hearted.

Oh, for a Will Harris Random Roles with James Hong.

A biopic about Cliff Richard wouldn’t be much fun. Absolutely no sex or drugs and very little rock’n roll.

Hey now! Kevin McHale wouldn’t have played a kid in a wheelchair on Glee if he knew “what we know know”. This is a joke because we know everything we knew then now and I’m making the comparison to what you just said.

I’m not insulting you with this snark I’m insulting Evangeline Lily* Even two years ago any sane person…

Yeah I love superhero movies - it's just a mediocrity fatigue. 

100%--I mentioned over in the Ant-Man review comments that I enjoyed this latest one (saw it last night) more than any Marvel movie in a while due to how weird it manages to be, while still telling a tight (under 2 hours), fun story with a villain that feels like he’s got some heft to him.  It’s still a ‘we have to…

So just to be clear: we're supposed to hate Jason Sudeikis because of a report from a former nanny that both he and Olivia Wilde denied was true, and also because a process server did their job? Even for present-day AV Club, this is a shockingly bad take.

Do we need a second Joker movie? Joker is a film that critics ten years from now will look back and wonder, “what the hell did I ever see in this?”

It’s simple: Barsanti is an idiot.

The version I saw had him devastating a city — the sort of thing that had consequences in the MCU, spawning the second wave and still echoing now — and snapping Zod’s neck. It certainly felt like a low cost knock off.

It’s worth a read. It’s a very different flavour of Superman than All-Star but it’s good as its own thing. 

I have been watching the show on Disney+ and am currently on the final season. And thinking of the reboot Luanne and Lucky better get some kind of great send off to explain why they aren’t on the show. Because Luanne is such a great character. Plus to my surprise I really like Lucky too. I mean he is so good to…

New 52 has a bad reputation overall but yeah there were some great books in there - Snyder/Capullo’s Batman, Morrison’s 19-issue Action Comics run, even Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s Justice League run is pretty good (early on - it goes wildly off the rails in later issues). 

I think we’re thinking of different eras actually. You’re talking about the new 52 reboot I believe, which really ran the gamut in terms of quality.

James Gunn will never be able to create a hit TV series starring an obscure DC character!!!!

My guess is that they use Booster to explain any transitions from the old to new universe without the need for Flash. But if they draw from 52 and the booster gold book that spun out of that, they've got a great potential template.
