Re: the age of the park: It kind of depends what Nolan means when he says Disneyland - having been raised in the UK the Anaheim resort may not be his reference point. Many here (erroneously) refer to both Walt Disney World Florida and Disneyland Paris as just Disneyland - and both are considerably younger than the…

My problem with this kind of 'mystery' is that I'm incredibly cynical about the writers knowing what they're doing; there's so many 'mysteries' developing that it's becoming increasingly improbable that a sufficient majority of them will be resolved by the end of the season. I guess a lot of my cynicism stems from…

Yes, but it's very pretty shit.

I'd argue it's the best 'first' movie Marvel has done, including even Iron Man. It's incredibly well made, and while the story does have moments of predictability they're no more common than in any other superhero film, and the execution is superlative throughout. It's not quite Marvel's best, but it's not far off.…

True… I guess they both get flustered when in the moment.

Well, that's something at least. A nice thick-ish piece of back bacon is still preferable, but at least you're not destroying it (as seems to be the custom in America - it always seems to be shown in media as being solid enough to brandish as a wand and crunch; under my totalitarian regime it will be a capital crime…

I don't get why Americans idolise bacon so. I mean, it's delicious, but they do bacon all wrong - crispy cooked streaky bacon? What a waste of good meat. British bacon is the only way to do a pig justice.

It's a clever, very consistent point that Michael is very bad at taking bad news (particularly regarding Jane)… but he will think things over in time and make the right call eventually. It's traceable back in the early days of both the series (in how he responded to Jane having the baby and Jane wanting to keep…

I guess it depends on how much of it you think is, well, intentional. It balances a fine line where it's just so weird and atypical (yet with some clear talent on display in places) that you can't tell if/where it's subverting standard storytelling or failing at it. Me… I'm more cynical. I'm more inclined to believe a…

I apologise if things got a little heated there. I was just so put out by what I saw to be a misrepresentational adjective that I simply exploded; why, I was so unnerved I lost half of a Custard Cream to the bottom of my teacup. I cannot even ease my agitation by returning to my tea consumption, as the soggy remains…

Inside No. 9 really is brilliant. If you're like me you might have initially been put off by the pair's previous output (The League of Gentlemen and Psychoville did nothing for me), but it's completely its own beast. The odd episode shares resemblance to those previous shows, but very few (many aren't even comedies,…

From your tone I can assume that that's meant to be an insult, but from your content I can assume that you have nothing intelligent to offer. Good day.

She said no democratic mandate, she didn't refer to him as unelected. And yeah, our whole democratic system is set up so that the people elect, inform and control the MPs who then represent their interests in parliament. You can try and change the system (if not through the system then through protest, or have a go at…

Actually, she didn't, she described the situation accurately. And she did so upon his succession to make the case for an election because the Labour government was not seen to be representing the interests of the people by that point (as proven when the election did come around in 2010). What would be the point of…

It's interesting that they're still focusing on Iron Man, Hulk, Thor and Cap as the representatives of the Avengers despite the changes and additions to the roster (although Ant-Man is the only other to have his own movie, and I guess he's not technically an Avenger yet, despite being part of the 'civil war'). They're…

There's no need to hound them so.

Don't get me wrong, I'm an avowed and passionate meat-eater, with duck being a particular favourite of mine… but I'm not sure I could eat this. I'm kind of queasy just thinking about it.

She's exactly as elected as her predecessors, winning an election in her constituency and being chosen by a majority of MPs (and confirmed by the Queen) to lead them. You can disagree with her/the cabinet's/the government's policies but stop using made up slights to pretend you've been cheated.

My best argument is this: I don't watch shows like Jane the Virgin. It was described by the creators as (tonally) a cross between Gilmore Girls and Ugly Betty, two shows I never got into (and to be fair never had much interest in getting into). I'm a geek, I like geeky shows, and my current fayre is predominantly…

Well, in the first episode when the prospect of 'soulmates' was first mentioned Eleanor and Jason shared a look; I wouldn't be surprised if that was something returned to at some point.
