Good question. I liked Kingsman, and, uh, that Star Wars movie they did was alright. And they are both just quips and violence. There's just something about Marvel's particular approach that turns me off.

Honestly, I felt exactly the same about Winter Soldier, but I went to Civil War because the reviews had been so stellar. And I thought it just doubled down on the things I hadn't liked about the last movie. The 'politics' are pretty specious (and get forgotten pretty quickly), Cap always strikes me as a sanctimonious,

Counterpoint - as someone who already finds Marvel's movies way too samey, civil war was just more zingers and punching, zingers and punching, shot in an entirely undistinguished style, where every single character comes across like a self absorbed asshole.

'Edith' is quite a popular kids name here in the UK at the moment, but thanks to this show, every time I say it, I cup an imaginary ear trumpet to my head, shout "EDISS!" and pretend to bang on the floor with an imaginary walking stick.

Same here - I rewatched some eps Twin Peaks a few years ago when it got picked up by the Horror Channel in the UK, thinking 'Eh, its amazing that this scared me so much as a youth. It'll be fine now…" then Bob showed up and I was basically cowering behind the sofa again.

Electric Jungle Bookaloo.

Oh, it really is just flat out fucking brilliant IMHO.

If you want to go full occult, slitting the throat of a cockerel and dancing naked in its hot blood is also a great, energising way to start the day, and it has the added bonus of appeasing Baphomet's wrath.

1.99?

The three musketeers, eh? And I mean that lrlrlegitimately.

I'm a UK user so god knows if the streaming rate affects me, but I'll tell you what does twist my melon. I came to Hong Kong for a work thing, and my whole plan was to sit and drink whiskey every night while I watched Archer - but there is no fucking Archer in HK. The fuck Netflix? I just watched 25 minutes of a show

Isn't Spotify horrifyingly in debt, and losing millions every month because it can't monetise it's user base to any meaningful degree?

When I watch a movie about buff 40 year old dudes in weird costumes beating the shit out of each other, I do often think, 'how is this helping teenaged girls seeking to pursue a career in the sciences?'

This is the first time I've encountered the term "panic moonwalking," although I understand it's a thing from a thing. Still, I'm making it my only motor skill from now on.

If it turns out to be set in the same universe as The Man in the High Castle, that would at least be a shared universe I could get behind.

Really? Admittedly I thought the movie was no more or less than perfectly fine (and I have no clue who Scott Adsit is), it seemed exactly like a pilot for some ongoing series.

I'll probably wait until one track from it is used in a movie trailer in two years time.

Who broked the world?

I thought he was called Johnny Unitas or something?

Let's all be honest: The only way this is going to work is if Rachel and Deckard are married, they've got a big chintzy house in the suburbs, and Ryan Gosling is their robot son, who's always getting into hijinks. And there's a laugh track. And the Fonz is in it.
