Oh, and for faithful universes, I have to suggest/vote for 2000AD’s Dredd. The nature of the strip has changed in that it has matured along with its lead character. But the rules, the background to the thing, is I think, entirely consistent over its forty years. The great writing and iron fist of John Wagner have a…

I don’t think the Wolverine/X-Men continuity problem is really a problem at all for today’s studio’s and writers. Nor is being at all ‘faithful’ to the comics. What they don’t like, they just ignore. They’ve tried to kickstart Terminator three times since T2 and each one has claimed to be part of the same continuity…

Aaaaand the Archer promos can’t be watched in the UK. Again.

Super happy to see the pretend postman back but kinda disappointed in your answer regarding Twi’leks. Surprised really, that you didn’t point out that neither Shaak Ti nor Ahsoka were Twi’leks - they were both Togruta. Did not a single copy of the Star Wars encyclopedia survive the looming apocalypse? There are also…

Normally I’d just say ‘Yeah, right!’, and then ‘Why would anyone care about an Oscar?’. But this year, after Trump and Brexit and the apparent death of just about every creative person I ever cared about, I have to say ‘Who knows?’. Maybe it’s time I placed my first ever bet, even.

Didn’t like the Tarkin or the Leia. Tarkin either didn’t look convincing - one shot it looked like his head was about wobble off his neck and generally was obviously a CGI image - or didn’t look like Peter Cushing - too young, too broad in the chin and shoulders, and too tall. His accent was slightly off too, there…

My kids have started singing, ‘Uncle Billy lost his willy, on the motorway, hey!’. That’s what you get for public schooling, I guess. But more importantly, we all know the Joker escaped as a result of the costumed vigilante’s road-related mechanical misadventure.

First paragraph feels like it was written by her publicist. I’m not trying to be down on Kate McKinnon - she’s pretty good sometimes on SNL. But ‘electric’ in Ghostbusters: Answer the Call? I think it takes more than resting crazy face and being random on cue to qualify as ‘electric’.

Living outside the USA, I can only look on with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness as this fiasco gets more and more real. This guy actually got elected. He is going to have the power to screw the entire world. He already seems to be trying to do just that. Given that he was chosen by a minority of your nation,…

Yeah, thanks for the reminder Prince died this year too.

Would ‘Trumpium’ be perhaps a hopeful reference to a ‘blazingly short half-life’?

It feels like the shoe debate misses the point when it comes to sexism and JW’s treatment of women. So the actress decided her character would wear her heels, that ought to end it. Isn’t it a bigger issue that of the three other female human characters in the movie, one was reduced to a one-joke punchline - ‘No, I…

Are the lyrics not ‘the land of the free and the home of the brave’? Are you not free to refuse to stand during its singing? Is it not brave to resist pressure to conform? Do you really want to live in a nation that forces you to salute the flag, regardless of how that nation is run?

Does he know why it’s called ‘Star Wars’ though? I mean, that could be a problem if he thinks it’s something to do with us all being stars or Jyn being a star or something.

‘when you get a chance to be the first person ever to talk to the writer/director of the film, Joe Carnahan, about it, you make an exception’

Now that’s an Olympian athlete - determined to fight on and compete, no matter what. No shame, no fear, no quit. A role model for athletes the world over. If only he were doing a real sport.

Good grief, he’s an actor. He’s supposed to get into the mindset of the characters he plays.

The Nolan Batman movies were just as much collections of scenes - I honestly felt like I’d just watched a really long trailer after the second one - but people lapped them up. Because, I think, they were well-written and the characters were more or less faithful to the comics. BvS sucked because none of the…
