This does actually happen in ESB.

Besides Jaws, I really struggle to think of another classic blockbuster less fertile for *good* sequels than Jurassic Park. The magic of the first one's story is that it has the horror and suspense so closely juxtaposed with the wonder and amazement. Once the park fails, the story can't recapture the wonder - it can…

The first two movies did: ANH is one of the best examples of 'what was old is new again' and ESB was a novel sequel in several ways.

LORD AND MILLER (to Kennedy): No, no puppet. You're the puppet!

I think her weird over/wooden acting is totally intentional: that is, Lynch asked for it, or knew he'd get it. If you take it as face value - 'this character has a weird manner' - she fits totally in to the Twin Peaks world.

LYNCH: "Oh, you like Dougie, eh?"

One of the many, quiet things that makes Twin Peaks so good is that its a paean to human decency (while obviously exploring the murkiest depths of human evil and depravity too). Hayward, Norma, Major Briggs, Big Ed, Cooper, Audrey, the Log Lady, Bobby, Donna, James - they all got these wonderful moments of doing good,…

You could sum up any character type in a dismissive way and, at this point, every type of fictional character has been done. Hell, every type of person has existed - each individual is unique, but there are hundreds of thousands of very similar people, and millions of similar people. Diane is a complex, fascinating…

I particularly loved that the shot of the trees on the mountains was accompanied by the classic dread synth music - DEEEE-DOOOO… DEEEEEE-DOOOO, DEEEE-DOOO, DEEEE-DOOOO, DEEEE….

Andy had a very receded, quite thin hairline in the original show, and more of it has fallen away since. Male pattern baldness comes in different patterns and speeds. Maybe he's lost all he's gonna lose; maybe he lost a lot in his twenties and then it dramatically slowed down.

I agree, but I'm not sure about 'more honest' - Cooper was probably as direct and honest a protagonist as you can get.

Spot on. Let's not go down a road where we start projecting negative motives (I want an ailing actor to appear on my show, despite his poor health) on to strangers (Mark Frost) despite overwhelming evidence (the actor is Frost's father) that nothing remotely bad went on.

Without having thought too long on it, my knee jerk opinion would be that an exhibit like that should be retained, but amended with a big, clear, and very visible paragraph laying out the man's evil crimes.

That's still not being remotely 'super racist', that's stereotyping, which, depending on context, can range from being a tiny bit racist to being extremely racist. The Indiana Jones movies are a tiny bit racist: absolutely no offence is meant and the film-makers clearly don't consider the races they're depicting as…

Temple of Doom is racially insensitive. If you scale that as 'super racist', what the hell do you call actually racist material?

As someone a little removed from the Marvel series - I've seen a good chunk of them, but only maybe a 1/4 of them in the cinema - I think one of the reasons Black Widow hasn't had a film is that she's not appealing enough a character. She hasn't had a film for the same reason Hawkeye hasn't: she's a normal human being…

I think we're looking at it wrong: we don't fail to grow out of high school mindsets; high school mindsets are just the burgeoning mindsets we'll have till we die. Kids in nursery start doing exactly the same, often horrible, stuff.

I think that Trump's smart enough to realise that people want good, reliable healthcare, and that an Obamacare-like or better system is the best means of achieving that, and I don't believe he has any sort of 'principled' Republican issues with the concept; I also think that Trump despises Obama, for a number of…

Yeah this can't be overstated. We're decades away from a TV budget being able to de-age its star for a whole season.

"Now that we've CGI, we can finally realise all those fantasy, morphing-water-effect spectres that three centuries of horror writers were too pussy to describe, nyah-nyah-nyah!"
