As much as I love the idea of superhero stories, I'm in pretty much the same place. Give me a series with a defined arc, not one that is going to extend indefinitely and grow increasingly convoluted. Unfortunately for Marvel and DC, they can't afford to stop publishing their big names so they're trapped in a cycle of…

Ed Brubaker's Criminal series is returning this year, and I'm looking forward to Empowered Volume 11.

It’s so weird hearing Jodie speak in her normal accent - there are so many actors who tend to act with their own mannerisms that it’s a real pleasure when you find one where the work and the worker are separate.

Does he care enough to make sure they get decent money? I don't remember if those protests from a few years ago were ever resolved

It didn't work because the dimensions weren't suitable for the tunnels it needs to go through. It has obviously inspired him to make uniform tunnels as the way forward...

I’m curious about how long it would take for each car to enter the system - with how tight the tunnel is, how quickly will people be able to get the car lined up for entry? With conventional public transport, all people need to do is step through a door

That attack on the cave diver really was a low point. Yet the cultists still defended Musk over it...

“You can't heckle the comedians". Since when? A good comedian can get great mileage out of hecklers, there are loads of clips of that happening. It's not a good look when a member of the crowd wins...

I believe there were different edits in the UK and the US. The UK version had two endings which you could read two ways as one being a fantasy and the other being the reality. Not sure ambiguous endings work well mostly, but in this case it did

Soul Asylum always feel somewhat overlooked. Admittedly Dave Pirner’s voice is an acquired taste, but they had some wonderful lyrics.

Hell yes on that one! I remember seeing someone writing in a rock magazine comparing Wonderful to Papa Roach’s ‘Last Resort’ saying the latter was the vastly superior song. I was amazed by the degree of ignorance in that comparison since Wonderful was written for Art Alexakis’s daughter to comfort her, and Papa Roach…

One from an unlikely source is from ‘Me and the Moon’ by Something Corporate, a song about a woman who snaps and kills her husband.
“17 years and all that he gave was a daughter”
Such a bleak description of a relationship. Another line from later on in the song is nearly as harsh
“You marry a role and gave up your soul…

It does explain why stormtroopers struggle to hit targets...

Never understood the love for Boba Fett - cool costume, but got beaten by a blind man.  Guess it's true about a lot of the Star Wars universe, more often built around superficial things instead of logic

It's a good start, but it does feel like it's a bit early to get excited - the opening night's audience is always more of a testament to curiosity than to quality (like opening weekend box office figures too). Have to see what sort of audience it sustains to really get a measure of how Jodie is being received

Yeah CTSMike confirmed that above. I think what impresses me most about the Hear You Me is that it manages to be both specific and universal
“There’s no one in town I know,
You gave us someplace to go,
I never said thank you for that,
I thought I might get one more chance”
When you know the story of the fans who’d help…

Thanks for that - I only encountered the backstory on Songmeanings.net but never had it corroborated in an article anywhere. That was a favourite lyric site which occasionally turned up a few interesting details about the song, but since it was crowd sourced, I always had some scepticism

That album has quite an opening - I remember being really impressed with the multiple vocal lines that happen in Table For Glasses as a sophisticated technique for a pop-rock/pop-punk band to use

No “Hear You Me”? I always thought that song was their best bit of writing, and just a beautiful song of loss and grief (forever misused in movies and TV shows...) It might be urban myth, but the idea that the words ‘Hear You Me’ are a deliberate tribute to some young fans who’d help bands out (but died tragically) jus…

It’s up to ‘better’ teams to find a way through. Possession only works as an attacking strategy if the opposition try to get the ball back. If they wait and force the possession team to try and play through them it cuts down on risk so why shouldn’t they? Looking forward to seeing how an attacking team evolves a…
