I think it was the great Lore Sjöberg who pointed out that this is unique in being a film with Dennis Hopper in which Dennis Hopper's is far from the weirdest performance. It's got to be 25 years since I saw this but I can still picture Crispin Glover's frantic performance as a teen desperately holding onto kids'…

Yeah having pointed out that “You suck, Zylak” is a good, merited joke in context, the review then riffs on it being what's wrong with the movie. The Sovereign weren't really villains, more pompose irritants and that line works fine.

It was telegraphed, unearned and manipulative. The whole Yondu/Rocket friendship was massively amped up given what we saw on screen. There was plenty of good family-themed drama in the film, which was genuinely emotional, and Yondu had already had two good sendoffs. No, with all the…

Hey look! Daffodils!

Hey Gen X here. Show some respect, whippersnapper!

The first time I heard Debra was on the Odelay tour, and it was an amazing performance (Beck could really hit that falsetto). Clearly a pisstake of Adore, but none the worse for that (and Adore can take the knocks and still be incredible).

decrease your stopping time?

Poisonous and venomous are waiting round the corner for you with a baseball bat.

So it's French really isn't it. Yeah I know the Russians think it's Polish and the Polish think it's German, but really, it's French, or Frankish, which is French. No-one thinks it's English, though, because the English don't have sex.

Yes I'm quite fond of the Japan version but it is, I suppose, only "fine".

With a longish commute and a long workday, and dealing with household issues around childcare, homework, and basically trying to socialise with my wife and get to bed sometime around midnight I barely have 30 minutes of dedicated time to sit on my own in the games room. Having a truly portable high-powered…

Yeah it's unfair to pick on apocalypse for failing to hit the ending. I think of all the recent superhero films the only one that had a genuinely satisfying ending that provided resolution from the premises within the story was Dr Strange. All the rest of them just do hit hit until the hitting is done, or the mcguffin…

Well casting, hmmm? But Rorschach was great, and Dr Manhattan. To be fair I got the ultimate blu-ray and sat down my wife to watch it and she thought it was fantastic, but again the story and characterisations are so rich that even the bowdlerised Snyder version was a league ahead ot 99% of other superhero films. I…

Yeah there was this, and the Kellogg's one and, errr. Was it him in Godzilla?

Pol Triedum.

Nobody calls him on the phone
'cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Plausible is what I'm looking for, as if there's going to be Clinton Impeachment Saga 2, the Hillaring, rolling over the next 4 years I'd like to be forearmed. Any thoughts on the BBC's note that the existing foreign donations to the foundation could be cause for impeachment if congress felt antsy?

There is this: http://www.bbc.com/news/bus…, which is a summary of presidential business issues, and points out what an enormous headache the Clinton Foundation is specifically. Indeed even without any impropriety such that you allude, that might inevitably lead to impeachment anyway.

Do you have a link to a summary of the Qatar gift issue? I'm interested, but would rather not read it from a Sanders or Republican source if you can manage it. Can't find anything on bbc.

"Left-leaning" Granada. What the fuck? This is a broadcast television channel in the 1960s, not a billionaire funded cable hack job in 2010. What on earth are you on about?
