Yeah, I don't see it getting grating, because it will stop being used as punchlines (which it is occasionally at the moment). I think Schur's smart enough not to keep using it as a joke past when it's funny, but it'll make sense for the characters (and the lead especially) to keep those bowdlerised swear words as part…

It's where there's conversations covered by like 8 camera angles, as though returning to one is some sort of weakness (that's why I was reminded of the scene at the end of 209). Then there were things like the horrible handheld oner covering Mack and Coulson at one point… just some really, really bad decisions.

The direction here was ATROCIOUS. Some of the worst cinematography and editing I've seen on TV. It reminded me of some really bad direction in season 2, which I remember vividly from an appalling scene at the end of an episode where Whitehall was ordering the Bus be shot down…

Absolutely. The first half of season 1 was rough, to put it kindly. The second half picked up the pace (around episode 11), and when the events of Winter Soldier kick in (episodes 16/17) it becomes terrific television. It's more or less kept a very high quality since then; it's a bit messy, but it's an ambitious show…

Holy CRAP I would love that. I want to see what Alba makes of Rosa so badly.

My immediate thought was Jaime Camil, but a) Rogelio would be waaaaay too distracting and b) he's really too young to play Amy's father. But they could get him in as a crazy uncle?

What's SHEILD?

It's had its rough moments even after the Hydra reveal kicked the show into gear, but it's easily my preferred superhero/comics-based show at the moment, although I enjoy [I think] every one that's still on air for one reason or another (even if it's just because of how bad it is, *cough* Gotham *cough*).

Pre-Doyly-Carte, so it's not part of the canon.

I got that! I know that reference! (I feel I should quantify my geekiness by saying I've been going to the G&S Festival for the last ten years and I've nearly completed the canon - damn Grand Duke).

I've got a lot of friends who've seen it in London, and by all accounts it's a fantastic experience with absolutely no memorable songs (great music, but nothing typically 'catchy' at all). It'll be interesting to see how Broadway responds to it.

The zombie stuff in this show is great. The police procedural, not so much. I was getting bored during the 'detecting' stuff, particularly as over five minutes of screentime Clive explained how the murder happened, the murderer explained how it happened, AND we saw how the murder happened. I kept waiting for the…

I know, what I was pointing out was that even fans of Jumanji aren't as precious about it as fans of Ghostbusters are of their film, as well as the difference between announcing something as an addition then revealing it as a reboot compared to announcing something as a reboot then revealing it as a sequel. But yeah,…

Well with Eccleston we know now about some of the issues behind the scenes, so I was wondering if there was anything like that this time. But being so open about how he'd like to still be doing it seems to void that theory.

Did we ever get full confirmation just why he left? I know it's supposedly (probably) because he thought his Hollywood career was taking off, but was that all there was to it?

I actually prefer Jumanji to Ghostbusters (for one thing I'm a 90s kid, but I also think Ghostbusters is pretty unsubstantial under the humour, which is good but not enough for me), but I still didn't care about it being remade; I just wouldn't have gone to see it. I was annoyed when it was revealed that Ghostbusters…

I doubt it'll matter too much. But Jumanji is a good, fun, family film, and I'd say it's worth watching on its own merits. I grew up watching it so it's tricky to be objective but I do genuinely think it's a well acted, well (enough) written film with a good spirit and sense of humour. Robin Williams is allowed a lot…

It's almost like the female led cast has nothing to do with the difference in uproar because a) Jumanji, as fun as it is, is [/ain't] no Ghostbusters and b) 90s kids aren't as precious about their childhoods as 80s kids. No-one dresses up as Alan Parrish for conventions.

That was the strange thing for me too, that he just appeared as though he was supposed to be there. Someone actually told me that Ghost Harry was a main character later while I was still catching up on season 1/2, and it baffled me because he was never necessary, so why add him? Just because they really liked the…

True, but I don't think that's the reason it's bad; it's bad because it interrupts the story and adds nothing to any of the characters. We've barely been introduced to the ensemble so it just feels like it gets in the way and does nothing (heck, it becomes the second song in the film, that's way too early to be…
