"It’s been a while since there’s been a decently ambitious musical number on The Simpsons (a former strength, and something lead-in Bob’s Burgers does exceptionally well)"

Oh yeah, biker is THE look (with the cowboy a close second). But they make the car work well both by itself and as an extension of Robbie's personality.

I remember feeling like s4 was retreading s1 the same way s3 was retreading s2. Then s6 came along and I knew just how much retreading they were capable of.

So you're saying a B for a very good episode of Westworld is okay, but a B for a very good episode of AoS is demeaning?

Again, I think that's where they've blended the look with the simpler (and more recognisable) skull shape. It's not clear in every shot, but you can see it in the promo image: https://i.kinja-img.com/gaw…

[Preface: I'm not a comics reader but I am a geek, so my info mainly comes from internet research; feel free to correct me, anyone.]

Hey, I love this show - it's probably my favourite comic-book show, and I'm watching most of them at the moment - but I think a B for this episode is pretty fair, because the show can do better. The setup struggled a bit, and both showing and telling is a valid criticism, plus the direction was dreadful. I'd call it…

The problem is the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider is the perfect look - a simple skull on fire (on top of a standard leather jacket). Everything is kept simple, but put together in an awesome way. When they wanted to introduce a new Ghost Rider to the comics (in the form of Robbie Reyes) they wanted him to look different,…

Ugh, Billy Gierhart's direction. So very bad. This show's writing might be at its best in four years but it is being ruined by shitty execution. From weird angles, to swapping at random between handheld and static shots, to editing so each shot only lasts one or two seconds before moving onto another unnecessary angle…

I'd like to pick you up on something - Rachel McAdams isn't playing a love interest (in the typical sense); she's an ex-lover. Their relationship is more friendly than anything else (when they part before the climax she kisses him on his cheek, not on his lips). If they can stick to this, it will be pretty unique for…

It's one of those statements that can be interpreted in a number of ways… I tend to be very wary of those statements ;) But yeah, there's a lot of possibilities for what we're seeing here regarding the timelines. I'm inclined to think there are indeed two timelines… but I don't think they're thirty years apart. I…

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.
