The 18± “ratings” are perhaps the only irritating thing the Lego brand does and seems to be there just to appease the Will Ferrell-esque Lego fans who need the validation that their toy is not a toy (there’s nothing 18-rated about them, even in complexity- they just have a lot of pieces).

“Dracula Untold was actually the first film planned for that universe, but it wasn’t a success either, so they pretended that never happened when they then made The Mummy.”

Is this really a Newswire? Did they take away For Our Consideration where these types of blog screeds were usually filed away?

The Batman beat Thor: Love and Thunder at the box office. (It also beat Black Widow, Shang-Chi and Eternals but that doesn’t seem a level playing field). And out of the 31 MCU films, Aquaman beat all but 8 of them, Joker did better than 21 of them and even the financially disappointing Batman V Superman was bigger…

Excluding post-credits scenes and side characters like Nick Fury and Everett Ross... Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Spider-Man: Far From Home,…

How dare you slander K-PAX.

I *love* Madagascar 3 but I refute your claim.

It’s the Christmas element. I remember at the time the critical response and (at least in the cinema I worked at) public response seemed mixed at best. I don’t remember it being put on the classic pedestal by a long shot. But time + Christmas can make any film a beloved classic eventually.

...which I absolutely posted on the wrong thread so maybe I shouldn't be internetting about other people's mistakes.

You joke but they really have got the maths wrong on this - it was released in 2003. They’re a year early.

H was spotted filming scenes with them and, apparently, completed his stuff before passing. I'd guess it was a small role but it's wonderful to think he got to do it one more time.

To be fair, it wasn’t dumped - it was commissioned specifically for the BBC’s centenary celebrations, hence the October slot rather than holding it until Christmas (or, as I believe the original plan was, regenerating earlier). The BBC wanted the show to be one of the main elements of its anniversary.

Not to accuse you of being shortpersonist but Jordan Prentice was (to quote Gleeson) the racist dwarf in In Bruges, not Dinklage.

He stays erect.

As Radcliffe also mentions Barrymore and was filming these in 200/2001, I'm guessing it was Charlie's Angels Diaz.

Especially when his voice work so far - The Lego Movie especially but also Onward - has been pretty charming and fun.

For the biopic of a woman forever defined by the man she married , I guess it’s fitting in a way that it’s the casting of Elvis rather than the titular role that gets the headline. Shitty, but sadly fitting.

“The King’s Speech is unique in that it shows Queen Elizabeth II before she was queen”

I thought she had a Kristen Wigg in Ghostbusters look going on.
