There was a little bit of that. Most of the critical mauling it got was because critics thought it was just plain awful and badly written. There were a couple of Grauniad articles on the portrayal of homosexuality but it didn't seem impact on the critical view of the show.

Possibly because it was absolutely slated on release in the UK and I mean really slated. A few said it was alright but the consensus was it was just awful. This is the only review I've come across where it's been actually positive.

There also aren't that many of them. The statistic is massively wrong, as it only reflects the mean average of readers of one particular high end marriage magazine who self reported by answering their yearly survey.

Thing is that isn't even close to being true though if you look at it for even a second, or even really think about it. Even the people who compile it don't claim it to be rigorous or representative statistics yet it gets quoted everywhere and refuses to die. It's a proper zombie statistic.

Wireless Nights is sublime and I recommend it to everyone.

But equally there are two counters - a) you are forgetting shop costs are included in that RRP (which is one reason amazon sells books far less) and b) technology has made all those processes (particularly typesetting) either radically easier or fundamentally different now and a lot of authors and publishers are…

Character actor?

I'd argue you have a funny definition of the word masterpiece.

Really?

a) Anthology was already dead pretty much.

Nah, good as he may be etc the most important superhero (and best surprisingly considering it's japanese origin and they rarely do US style heros well) is the sublime comic One Punch-Man.

Years ago I would argue.

She does realise that while her audience demo is about the same on average her actual numbers are a third or quarter of The Daily Show/Colbert and I'm guessing Conan at least having similar if not much bigger figures as well.

Cleese has said the original idea came from the title ine of them thought up - Jesus Christ: Lust for Glory.

Similar case with a lot of parish or local councils in the UK (I expect some still have it and have never thought to un-ban it) as they still can decide to ban public screenings or theatre for some reason.

Really?

No it doesn't, it comes to a fantastic conclusion. The film is about a man who has come to hate humanity and his ultimate redemption and ends as he's no longer disgusted by humanity and is convinced of its worth (as he comes to love other people) and decides on a selfless act which ultimately redeems him and it is…

Well that was terrible.

I was genuinely shocked this band still exists. With seemingly all the interesting madness-esque elements that made their first album worth buying and liking when I was 17 absolutely removed and sounding incredibly bland and neutered.

I think the distinction should often come on how it's intended to be read and how it is generally read. Not if it was serialised or not.
