Some people think wiener dogs are cute I guess. I don't. I'm always afraid their backs are going to snap when they run. They are grotesques. But the real reason I write is to say, No one puts ketchup on a hotdog. The thought makes me dry heave. Sweet salty ketchup slathered on sweet salty oleaginous hotdog is…

It isn't a phobia for tanning beds, it's common sense.

Enough time has passed that I can't remember which I liked better.

i don't think I can watch it anymore. (Same with Terminator with it's completely unnecessary animatronic Arnold fixing his eye in the mirror, etc.) But I'm going to throw in one more useless complaint: I would rather Ridley Scott hadn't told us that it is his hand wiggling in the critter, and that the actors on the…

Yeah, good one. And the writers kept having the characters question themselves. It was more dramatic - and funnier - than the usual declarative dialogue. I expect the episode will get nominated.

Which 'that'. I'll give you the tethered alien.

No, the moment when rubber Ian Holm head becomes real Ian Holm head on the table top jars, and always did frankly. So does the chest-burster scurrying away about as convincingly as one of those invisible dogs on a leash gags. And thirdly, the cat now appears plainly to be reversed footage.

It isn't a gimmick. Sia is ordinary looking, but she doesn't like her face. And after suffering Graves' disease, she was left with slightly bulgy eyes.

I snuck in. One of these days, I'll pay up. I will never forget the dread I felt when they were walking on the planet and Ripley was translating the beacon back on board. I was the kid from comic book land who knew that men GTFO of there pronto. I need thrillers to do that for me. Sorry to bang my Fury Road drum…

Those are all reasonable points. I might admit that perhaps it isn't possible for me to be wowed by any Mad Max movie the way I was when I saw the first two as a younger person. But having seen Alien on its first day, in 197-whatever it was, I needed a lot from any new iteration of that myth, in Prometheus, which…

Which problems?

It pretty much is Road Warrior + the benefit of decades of advances in film making. But even there, I don't find the action more convincing in the new film. Road Warrior looked and felt dusty and gritty. This one feels less apocalyptic, less lonely. Missed Mel Gibson's charisma and the feeling that he was a…

If they do, what could the Cosby?

Why so much praise for Fury Road. It doesn't go Road Warrior any better.

It's designed to make you nauseous. It still does. Even on TV. The camera mounted to the interior of the car lurching over hills is guaranteed to get you. Maybe not on a laptop or a smartphone?

Check out an extremely well-written episode of Blue Bloods (written by playwright / Oscar nominees, rather unusually) called "The Bullit Mustang" in which the car makes an appearance.

I and a friend like to describe it as that movie where you start crying before it even starts. So good.

Check out his solo in Heroes, Top of the Pops, played entirely with feedback because he doesn't own an ebow.

I hate Let's Dance. Hate his image in this incarnation, hate the production - especially the booming drums - hate the songs, and I like hating it.

Ricky Gardiner's solo, ftw~!
