Listing those names together makes me realise this would be the perfect place for a proper Animaniacs reunion. Make it happen, Roiland and Harmon!

I actually zoned out during the credits and didn't notice he was in them - so the ending was fine for me. Seeing the comments made me go back and check, and… yep. Feels like a cheat now.

Well, the delay of The Good Dinosaur rather put paid to it, but their plan a few years ago was to release an original film every year and a sequel/prequel/spin-off every other year (as well as the original film for that year). The Good Dinosaur got pushed back from last year causing a knock-on effect, otherwise I…

For me this was the one possible validation for a fourth film when it was announced. It's possible they'll screw it up madly, but fuck it, if there's a chance Bo and Woody can get back together I'll take it.

Well Alison Brie is rarely out of work, and has been getting some decent exposure (she was a fairly significant character in The Lego Movie last year). She's just finished with Mad Men, and now has BoJack Horseman… I can see where she'd be considered too expensive. But yeah, I love Jacobs, but she hasn't been making…

Right, that cast is just so, so much more successful than Community's (I adore Community's cast, but Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd have been at the front of major films in the last two years - the Community cast just aren't in the same league), and they still managed to pull it off, albeit it at only 8…

Understandable. JJ Abrams at his best is only ever by-the-books storytelling - Moffat's best is blisteringly original and inventive entertainment. That said, Moffat's extremes mean that when he strikes out it can be in horrendous, painfully irritating fashion. I'd be tempted to say JJ Abrams never reaches the highs or…

So it keeps getting boxed into thankless roles?

I'd say Moffat has consistently alternated between great products and smug shitfests (Series 5 followed by Series 6, Series 7a followed by Series 7b, Series 8 followed by… oh, shit.)

That happened when that damn astronaut walked out of the lake. Fuck Series Six, and all who sail in her (except Neil Gaiman and his glorious anomaly).

I've heard a couple of things from the set, and it does seem that she's a new character (with her own 'Moffat-y' quirk, that he probably thinks is original but is actually just a spin on a few of his old ideas). The titling is leading, but you're not quite on the right track.

I liked Mangan a lot. Throughout the run there were some moments of original yet 100% Dirk Gently genius, like 'jumping from the window' in the pilot, but a lot of it was very messy. It had so much potential to be the Anti-Sherlock (as per the books, which directly and explicitly countered Sherlock's mantra of…

Skyfall (the song) was fine, but the critical mistake made at the Oscars that year was having Adele singing it in the same show as the lady herself, Shirley Bassey, sang Goldfinger. It demonstrated the difference between 'This definitely sounds like a James Bond theme' and 'Oh, now THIS is a James Bond theme'. With a…

Are they now only hiring people who already sound like comic book characters? With Nick Blood and Constance Zimmer, all the MCU needs is to hire someone ridiculously British with an equally ridiculous name like Benedict Cumberbatch… oh, right.

I assume The Muppet Christmas Carol only didn't make the list because it's set in the UK (like Mary Poppins, which DEFINITELY should be there otherwise).

I think S4 just has a weird tone, for long stretches (particularly the Cordelia's Return batch at the start and the Jasmine batch of episodes at the end). It's the kind of off-kilter feel of some earlier episodes, like Eternity, but that one only lasted one episode rather than a whole string. There's good stuff…

I think the episode is definitely trying to demonstrate that most gun owners are sensible and do in fact keep their guns for protection. This is in contrast to, say, Homer The Vigilante, where as soon as the characters (including Moe) get guns they start accidentally shooting things. This episode is trying to paint…

(Also non-book-reader) I would be interested in seeing the trial, and maybe we'll get some flashbacks if we ever get a fourth season. But I understand and appreciate why they didn't show it here. This hasn't really been a third season, it's been volumes three and four (or even four and five, as season 2 has a pretty…

It only holds that distinction with bitter Kubrick fans and people who just irrationally hate musicals. Oliver! was extremely well received at the time and remains very popular. Crash was more critically divisive and was critically re-evaluated within a few years of its release.

That's the glory and curse of the original film, for anyone trying to do a production of Oliver! (either on stage or on film): the actors were just perfect. No matter what you do with another version, it won't be Ron Moody as Fagin, it won't be Oliver Reed as Sykes, or Shani Wallis as Nancy or Jack Wild as Dodger.…
