5 MeowMeowBeenz for you!

I too am a Kylie fan and always liked this but Sam Brown did it first, albeit in a less flashy way! Also I’m sure the Bee Gees have a Barbarella-inspired video which came out after Kylie’s (I think). Can’t remember the song though...

Yep as someone has already said, it’s Barbarella. One of my favourite films but I have genuine trouble watching that scene because it terrifies me (and has since I saw it at far too young an age!)

I think that was once true, but then Deadpool was released in February and was a huge success. Between that and the August release of the first Guardians, I guess studios are more willing to release in the “riskier” months now.

There is a reveal/explanation in the film about Zeus which kinda gives the reason for them using him as the one who brought her to life.

I saw the film last night and OBVIOUSLY I didn’t get emotional AT ALL.

Just give me the box, Marty!

Yaaas! I have a friend who once said to me that I have no guilty pleasures because my music taste is everyone else’s guilty pleasures :) I can’t argue with that.

Yeah it’s a difficult one.. My first thought was “great, we see a more diverse group on screen” but then it is in danger of hand-waving away the horrors of white supremacy and that’s not a great trade-off.

Yeah I suppose I sound a bit dismissive about them kind of erasing the ‘white supremacy’ issue from the story, which I didn’t really mean. BUT I guess what I was thinking is that’s only one part of it. I’ve just re-read the book in preparation for the new adaptation and the issue of race is certainly in it, but I…

Some changes such as that were made for the new TV adaptation.
There’s a little information here: http://tvline.com/2017/01/07/the-handmaids-tale-hulu-series-black-moira/

It certainly makes sense to me, I’d rather they made an adaptation with more diversity in the cast by making a relatively minor change than stay…

Dear Emmys,

The Peanuts movie came out last December (in the UK anyway) and I’m sure it did well enough against Star Wars, so yeah that’s a good shout.

I wonder that too - I just mentioned in another comment that I wonder if the Harry Potter series has overshadowed Dahl as THE ultimate children’s books...

Yeah I was surprised by the comments on here saying that they were unfamiliar with the book. When I was a kid growing up in the 80s, Roald Dahl books were huge and BFG certainly wasn’t one of the lesser known ones. I had all his children’s books and wasn’t unusual for that. And, like you say, they were a big part of…

Ah Krull! There’s a film that doesn’t get mentioned enough. I have a great fondness for it, but that’s almost certainly just childhood nostalgia. The Neverending Story isn’t braw either but again, it holds a place in my heart.

All the stars for Xanadu! It’s my very favourite film, it’s so gloriously terrible. Sadly I didn’t get to see it in the cinema, for it was released the year I was born.

Also big love for Roller Boogie. I was actually disappointed that it had a full storyline (of sorts) and an ending that made sense. Xanadu has none of…

Yeah.... I mean I enjoy Agents of Shield for what it is, but Agent Carter wipes the floor with it, in my opinion.

I feel that way about the book. I recorded the series with the intention of watching it when I’m done with the book but I’m finding it a bit of slog. So many people recommended it to me and I thought the subject matter would be right up my street but... No. I want to finish it because I’ve started but that may take me…
