Oh God, it's depressing when you start being able to clearly remember stuff from 20 years ago - it's 20 years since the Simpsons started to waver a little - understandably after seven seasons, 21 years since Toy Story came out, 19 years since Titanic, 19 years since the Star Wars re-releases, Jurassic Park 2, Men in…

I really don't agree with this stance: enjoying something is not contributing to it, and in no situation are fans ever owed anything. If they end up making two shortened seasons - which does sound godawful - and you don't like that, you can cancel your subscription.

You can literally make anything sound shit if you go out of your way to phrase it dismissively.

But it's not optimistic: Cersei, Jaime, Tommen, Myrcella, and Tyrion are all varying degrees of sympathetic, and while Tywin was extremely harsh, he wasn't cruel - the only out and out evil Lannister was Joffrey. They seemed to be the villains of the piece in S1 and S2, but really they were just antagonists to the…

Eh, Matt Sloan's is a bit too emotional and put on. Get the guy who was in the Dark Forces and Tie Fighter games from the 90s.

The thing about Willy Wonka - and a lot of the characters, including the narrators, in Roald Dahl's stuff - is that kids register the darker aspects of his character. Kids reading them and adults reading them recognise and respond to the same things.

But they are in the cells of all living things - some people have more, true, but the Force always ran slightly stronger with certain people.

The film literally spends about as much time on tax stuff and trade as it takes to read your comment - it's just there to explain why the film's sub-villains are doing what they're doing.

Most of the problems with TFA were because of an obvious knee-jerk attempt to distance themselves from the prequels: the film-makers didn’t seem confident in their grasp of what made Star Wars good, all they knew was that they wanted to avoid being at all like the prequels.

That made it funnier.

Do midichlorians really bother everyone that much? The films make explicitly clear that they are not the source of the Force - they're simply the barely understood means by which the mystical energy field connects with living things. As they're defined, midi-chlorians are no more responsible for the Force than my…

Alien-from-'Spring-Breakers' vs Sex Predator: "Whoever wins, we lose."

No it didn't - they changed the puppet Yoda in Episode 1 for the blurays, but his dialogue has never been altered.

I'm going to be passing this joke off as my own several times over the next um, lifetime.

I read this book last year, and was extremely impressed. It's one of those concepts that, while original and interesting, leads you to expect there's going to be a trite resolution - the kid learns it's okay to cry, or some such. Nope - it's very intelligent, forces you to think, makes a point of showing up the idea…

I like JJ Abrams, but despite his love of science fiction, I bet the smarter half of the world's six year olds would find his grasp of basic space concepts troubling.

Johnathan Banks is noticeably older in BCS than he was in BB, but obviously not to the point where it breaks the suspension of disbelief. I think a prequel to this prequel might be pushing it though, especially because I hope BCS gets three more years.

You don't really have the right to cry 'spoilers' if you watch a video called 'First and Final Frames'.

I think some critics used the term 'cosy catastrophe' to describe Wyndham's sub genre - the heroes of Midwich, Triffids, and Kraken aren't too emotionally involved with the apocalyptic events happening: they all take a very practical and critical approach to the alien children/killer plants/submarine invaders. I have…

James Earl Jones is in his 80s and Ian McDiarmid is 71 - I hope Disney has made sending dump trucks full of money to both of them a top priority.
