And I bet they somehow bring back Peter S for the sequel anyway.

The film launched many memes, to be sure.

Yes, I think Burton's is truer to the book in many ways, though the whole dentist thing at the end and showing that Willy Wonka needs saving too is very Burton and not Dahl at all. To be honest though, neither Wilder nor Depp capture the Wonka of the book. Wilder screaming 'You get nothing, good day Sir!' is far, far…

Good stuff.

So in short, no you didn't watch the clip. Great how that didn't stop you having an opinion on it though!

Whose mug every time there's a John Oliver story?

Not always. Poll to rhyme with doll and moll.

Isn't the idea that these are 'super villains'? You know, they have skills that the soldiers don't have. Also, 'send a thief to catch a thief' – the same idea as in Triple X, that Vin Diesel's Xander Cage is going to have abilities that the James Bond-types don't have.

"Why not just use soldiers instead of a group of supervillains who have vaguely soldier-like abilities (shooting things and hitting people)? And if you’re going to do that, why send soldiers in addition to the squad? And, furthermore, why even ask bad guys to save the world when there are real superheroes running…

Are voice and fake tan and bad hair comparable though? Trump can get a hair cut and stop dyeing his skin orange. Those are choices he's made. Your voice is kind of just your voice. And if they're basically saying they don't want to listen to a woman full stop, then it's not the same as pointing out someone is choosing…

Not sure how you can reply to that, dude, and still claim the high ground! So in the three years since did you ever watch the show?

You've not watched it so why comment?

This is a great short article – it genuinely made me laugh.

I didn't even realise mitsake was a typo of mistake, or was supposed to be one. I figured it referred to a Pokemon character, or was perhaps a math term, or something else I hadn't come across. That's really stupid.

That's not what the article says at all.

Fair enough. It's easier with Flophouse and HDTGM as their voices are all so completely different.

I quite like WHM, but I can't tell any of them apart. The people in The Flophouse and HDTGM are so individual and distinctive whereas the WHM guys strike me as very similar.

I had no idea who Robert Durst was. I'm still not clear. I was watching this episode with my wife and we were both "What's going on with that guy with the suitcase?". I figured it was a reference to something, but mostly we just found him bizarre. I didn't know how to begin looking up what the reference was supposed…

Yes, Wooster in the books is self-aware. He's a twit, not an idiot. Of course the TV series depicts Wooster as gifted musically, thanks to Hugh Laurie's own talents, so we don't see him as a complete loser. Re: the POV, as I mention in another comment on this thread: I seem to remember one of the Wodehouse stories…

Yes, Wooster is an idiot, but for me Jeeves is funnier and more 'true to character' when he's the professional valet who keeps his feelings completely to himself. We know he's a genius, we know what he must think of Wooster, we don't need to see him roll an eyebrow. I seem to remember on of the Wodehouse stories was…
