Oh dear. What does it say about me that the first thing that sprang to mind was John Constantine giving the devil the finger at the end of Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits?

I watched the last season after it had finished airing and being someone who doesn’t mind spoilers I knew in advance both what happened on Sansa’s wedding night and the vocal audience reactions to it.

Yeah, but here it kind of works that it’s bad. I couldn’t imagine Deadpool trying to do an Aussie accent and doing it well.

I’m listening to the audiobook of High Rise narrated by Tom Hiddleston now. It’s an excellent reading - I read the book myself years ago and adored it, wanted to refresh the memory prior to the movie coming out. Am very much enjoying his reading of it, so can recommend it.

Yeah, I basically stopped reading EU books after trying (and failing) to get through this trilogy. I adored Zahn’s books, was keen as hell to get into whatever came next, and...

I adore this film, I’m glad it’s getting some love. It deconstructs of our culture’s mythologies, our heroes & villains, by presenting ostensibly ‘real’ heroes and villains, who even still are informed by those very mythologies and fictions they are supposedly real examples of.

Yep. Exactly the same here. It’s got to be twenty five years or thirty since I heard it last, but bam, there it is in my head.

Don’t take it too seriously. Get the words down fast as possible and have great fun doing it... But don’t stress if you only manage a couple of hundred words a day, or you know those words are pretty awful, or you aren’t going to ‘win’ (i.e. hit the 50k). The only important thing is you make progress getting something…

‘Tis working for me now, when I was getting geoblocked this morning. Not sure why...

I never got to see it at the theatres because stuck home with baby, so I saw it for the first time only the other night. After all this time of hearing all that’s wrong with it, I was pleasantly shocked to find it was actually great fun and I enjoyed it a lot more than I’d been led to believe I would.

When good storytelling and a decent script is ousted in favour of... well anything. Cool effects, big names, merchandising opportunities, whatever, as soon as anything else takes over from the story, it’s a gonna.

I remember studying equal temperament in my piano studies growing up, mostly to do with Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier and the debates in his time and earlier about how to tune keyboard instruments. Up until the 18th century there were a variety of systems used, if I recall correctly, and a lot of argument about it.

On first viewing I thought I liked the ending. But on subsequent viewings I very much agree with you.

My very first rejection many years ago was from a magazine which sent the reader’s comments to rejected writers if they were also subscribers. The comments on mine were... brutal. A page of notes listing how awful everything was, how I couldn’t string two words together without being totally irritating, how I was the…

I came in to post pretty much this exact response. JOHN CONSTANTINE. I’ll watch the entire freakin’ Arrow season 4 just for a single episode with Matt Ryan as Constantine.

Now I’ll have to start watching Arrow again. I kinda drifted in S3. But oh god YES will I be there for a Constantine appearance and hoping my middle-aged fan girl heart out that it could herald some kind of new Constantine spin off show on CW

Well, look. It might not be the goriest or most unwatchable of scenes posted up here (Audition will always hold that unwatchable status for me), but it uniformly made us all feel sick and fall apart with laughter both when my mates and I first watched this, which is a pretty interesting combination:

I came in to post this scene. It was the first time I literally couldn’t keep watching. I ended up fast-forwarding the torture scene at the end.

I’m not saying its a deal breaker, only if you don’t get Snake Plissken, you are dead to me...

And nobody noticed! Took the DVD commentary before I even realized..,
