Aye it *sounds* interesting until 3 episodes in when they’re all struck down with scurvy.

I thought that was hating the British?

“He takes them off to fight crime”

Guillermo Del Toro is also attached as Executive Producer, I assume.

I wouldn’t say that “cunt” is completely fine - it’s still the strongest swearword outside of racial epithets etc., but it is far less offensive than in the U.S.

Was “Once Upon A Time” the show that was developed when a straight adaptation of Fables fell through?

I’ve always hated Duke Nukem. I used to get all the “it’s a pardoy/homage/tribute, you don’t understand!” bit about his dialogue but honestly if it were any of those things they would have rewritten his one-liners slightly and not merely ripped them off wholesale. That’s not clever, that’s basically Epic Movie style…

Do you mea  high when he lost it, when he found it or when he designed a show based around it?

I thought Englund's monologue was excellent to be honest, and certainly didn't put me in mind of Freddy.

Preach!

Snipe, absolutely. Imply for months that a film you haven't seen will inspire violence across the nation? Maybe not.

I’m so glad you’ve said that, the pre-release talk was insufferable and to be fair the AV Club weren’t the only ones - The Guardian were bad too, for example.

Erm...

It didn't take Disney to ruin the second one, so I believe him.

William “Braveheart” Wallace, certified nonce:

What’s a Penelope Lowenstein?

Heh, “trying”.

They were out by a decade on something else recently too but I can’t bring it to mind now.

And do you know, that’s more or less what they’ve done?

Aye, I just came here to say his turn as Sal was absolutely the best part of the film.
