“the AV Club!”, a punchline I haven’t seen in a while

We’ve already got an overabundance of people giving their opinions on things they have no connection to or special insight on (“the AV Club!”, a punchline I haven’t seen in a while). It’s a really stupid norm to regard people as obligated to have & express an opinion. I would say that goes even further when it’s a…

This ranks pretty high on the scale of “completely unnecessary remakes”. Not only is the original amazing, it requires next-to-no dialogue to follow/enjoy. What exactly was it about “zombies on a train” that got lost in translation?

A possible reason for just copy-pasting that Green Goblin picture is it’s familiar to people who remember it from Spider-Man 1 and so triggers that nostalgia response which seems to make money.

It’s not a new opinion, of course, but what he’s homing in on is still worth discussing as the genre only grows more popular:

A crucial tell: near the end of Alien, Sigourney Weaver is wearing her underwear, rather than the pajamas she’d be sporting if it was a superhero movie.

Gladiator is horribly overrated!

I remember when the terrible Sweet Dreams cover came out and this piece of shit was everywhere and showing off his pasty, bug-like body. He’s just a Tim Burton character trying to sound like The Cure. His whole, “I’m going to single-handedly destroy Christianity!” persona was just silly, childish edgelording. I was…

For this I will refer you to my comment on previous coverage:

Welcome to the internet, we killed all the proof readers 20 years ago because language is meant to be free!

They should have made the Master the Timeless Child, not the Doctor.

I’m amazed that he hasn’t already told Jodie he's a scouser and his mam knew Ringos mam when they 'ad nothing but a tin bath and an outside toilet

You mean that more interesting, more compelling Doctor that was onscreen a fraction of the time of the current Doctor? 

Timeless Children is my least favourite episode of Doctor Who and Flux is written by the same guy. Yeah, I’m in no hurry to watch this. I wish I was.

So hard to know what to think about this, given that it’s the first of a six-fucking-parter. (I do have concerns about that, given that Chibnall’s yet to convince me he can write a decent one-parter.) But there’s a lot to enjoy here, the best bits being Dan and Karvanista - particularly the two of them together.

I didn’t know Michael Grade was in this.

The thing about Perd Hapley is that he was a journalist named Perd Hapley who always stated the obvious, much like I’m doing right now.

More like Blandanowicz, amiright?
