If only the evil, prune faced prick would stop coming back to Oz to tell us how we should run our country. You're a Yank, Rupert. Enjoy the beach and your properties but don't waffle on about how we can better serve your business interests. Also, we already have a racist, homophobic, misogynistic scumbag in charge. We

The characterisations in the original trilogy give those films their heart and charm.
You may crave spectacle over character. Fair enough. But some of us want more. Your statement was a broad generalisation that was clearly incorrect. So I responded honestly to rebut your claim. I find the Michael Bay school of

He just wished he was after the holiday special.
then Jedi comes around and his planet is now full of teddy bears!

I did.
Eye candy does not make compelling entertainment.

That sucked! Bane narrates Star Wars.
Is that Peter Serafinonwicz's voice?
The iconography of Star Wars without the characters we care about and therefore I have no real emotional engagement with the piece. Lightsabers really have become laser swords. I am taken back to the late 1990s, the 20th Century Fox logo (Which

Kevin, you promised,you weren't gonna make more films? Then Tusk, now this wankfest. Once you were a talented writer with a canny ear for clever, profane, hilarious dialogue. Now you are a case study in arrested development. A grown man dressing and talking like a teenager. Making horrible, witless films and whining

"We've got to value our art." Oh Geezus. Tears in my eyes, sore belly. Thanks for the laugh Tom.

Oh, surprise!

Mr Larson produced my childhood. I'm sure if I shuffle about in my memories I'll find a copyright credit for Glen A. Larson. Thanks for helping to feed my childhood imagination. Thankyou for transporting me to exciting worlds with fantastic characters. You brought a lot of joy to millions. If that is being a populist.

A great character actor who continued that tradition of raising the bar in everything in which he appeared. I have a particular fondness for his portrayal of a chain-smoking journalist in, "In The Red".
A hilarious pisstake of the inner workings/politics of the BBC.
Yet, there were so many great performances. It will be

Definitely. If you enjoy a good dose of "Northern Common Sense".
Peter Pascoe is a young, university educated Yorkshire Detective who teams up with the coarse, plain speaking man's man Andy Dalziel. The programme is a solid police procedural with a wry wit. Mr Clarke sinks his teeth into the role. Solid stuff.

De-El.

Wow, you are in a generous mood. Reveals that were not reveals, pedestrian direction and no hint of the not quite ready Death in Heaven. Ho hum, C- is generous enough. Perhaps there may be a unexpected twist that makes up for this damp squib. Either way, on balance this has been a great season. Now I have to get by

There was mention of hilarity.
I do not see or hear anything hilarious.
Can someone please explain why this is allegedly funny?

Exactly. I know it looks cool in games and can be wonderfully immersive in battle sequences, but I just think it looks ugly when used for fictional film and tv production. I would also point out that the smooth video look of, say the CGI trains in "Mummy On The Orient Express" and Flatline. Is a deliberate aesthetic

Cause it doesn't look like an expensive home video. 48fps gives the images an immediacy that can be striking in action sequences but discomforting in drama. Long live 24-30fps. Michael Todd thought 30fps was high enough. That's fine by me

The show is shot at 1080p at 25fps. Pre Planet of the Dead it was standard def PAL, 768x576 at 25fps. Nothing has changed. Looks great on a Plasma or projected. Perhaps some kinda cock up in standards conversion or just LCD tvs on overdrive. First thing to do when setting up any type of LCD panel is to turn all the

Now, that's a page, stomach turner.

Another, as you quite rightly stated, luminous talent, has left us way to young.
I and so many others are greatful to her for giving us so many wonderful performances. She really had that special quality. You can't fake it. A beautiful amazing lady. My deepest condolences to her loved ones.

Modern Who is a completely digital video production. Who went completely video in the late eighties. Digital post production advancements provide New Who with its' filmic look, but has you point out the limitations of time and a television budget may occasionally make the show's video nature obvious. The show went
