I think this is from Jared Leto’s early take on the role.

I read this article hours ago, but left the window open. Is being a creep a criminal offense? Not the right question. Is being a serial creep a criminal offense? Not the right question. Is being a serial creep against people who’s jobs kind of depend on you, to the extent that dames have to discuss amongst themselves

I’ve never got stuck somewhere for about an hour with a bunch of people and reminisced about all the great adventures/japes we’ve had.

Toy Royal = toroidal, like a torus (or doughnut).

Has to be Tommyknockers - can’t think of anything else it might be, I can only even remember one other spaceship in King, I think the story was called The Jaunt, but that wasn’t a UFO.

Possibly leading to PTSD?

I haven’t watched a single minute of this half-season.... except.... I stuck on the 5th (I think) episode just to give it a last chance really... the hipster-dumpsters were milling around, there’s a knock on their big gate... who could it be?.... Rick, wanting to do a deal with the self-same crew who sold him down

I was delighted to see a sort-of Planet Hulk in Ragnarok. I’m not greedy, I’m happy with all the Hulk stuff in Ragnarok, and surely with Hulk talking now, a stand-alone is much more doable if not exactly more likely.

It’s hard to remember what we were all so worked up about with the kaiju, looking back. I think my pop said it best: “We were building walls when we should have been building bridges.”

The last bloody mary I had was 6 days ago at El Gatto Negro (the black cat) on King Street, Manchester, UK. It’s a Michelin Gourmand place (top quality meal for under £30/$40 per head, think tapas food as taster menu). End of the meal, I thought why not, anyway it arrived with halloumi and serrano ham on top. Bloody

I watched it twice (so liked it, obviously), first time with subtitles (best way), second time dubbed. I’ll happily watch the second series but like you I don’t see how they can recapture that mood, that self-contained feel...

You know what the latest movie taught me? What you say is true, from a certain point of view.

Funnily enough, he reminded me exactly of me at one point. When they say Snoke wants to talk to him, which is shit news, and he says “Excellent! I’ll take it in my quarters” then Snoke gets in his face and he says “Ah, Supreme Leader, good!” and gets effed up a bit.

If you think Luke was trashed in this, you didn’t watch it properly. He warns Rey about the sea-hole which was part of Snoke’s trick to put her with Ben Solo. He goes to burn down the Jedi stuff, decides not to, and Yoda does it for him. He thinks about killing Ben, decides not to, and Ben (already turning remember -

In fact “No, Luke! I did not kill my brother! (uncle, cousin, nephew)” would have been much easier to swallow and still cause an unwieldy mythos struggling to support it’s own weight.

I was born in 1970 and I say Star Wars started falling to pieces, plot-wise, with “...I am your father.” Almost every bad thing about Star Wars devolves from that with hindsight, which is so depressing because watching ESTB at the time as a 10-year-old, it was absolutely the bestest most shocking thing. You killed my

At this point he’d be doing less damage to his rep by irl just saying “Matt Damon!” Oh and by the way, I haven’t gone on a killing spree, can I get some praise over here? What’s a guy not have to do to get acknowledged in this joint? I thought there’d be a medal or something.

Remember when they started WWII allied with that Fascist government? I mean, what a great debt we owe to Darth Vader for chucking the Emperor down a shaft. I mean it’s technically correct but if that’s your total takeaway then you need help.

Have a belated ‘this is a very good review!’

I’m curious. Are you removing the seeds because you don’t like the taste, or because you don’t like the heat? I remove the seeds from ‘big’ peppers because I think dishes with those should be sweeter (and the seeds are bitter) but never from chili peppers because they are only there for heat and I’ll add red wine or
