That was my first thought. If someone told me their name was Mason Kane, I’d immediately know they were a spy. A fictional spy, no less.

“I know you’re being sarcastic but, I think it actually does get funnier every time!”

That’s what I was thinking!

That’s what I thought, I’m no D&D guy but I know that any one film will be a newly made-up tale set in that world, not “the story” of Dungeons and Dragons, so a subtitle absolutely makes sense here.

Oh I don’t necessarily blame them for pulling it. What is annoying though is that it’s not getting a UK cinema release at all.

This was trailed heavily in UK cinemas many months back, implying an imminent release, and then it was pulled from the schedules entirely because the bad guys are Ukrainian.

I always wonder about the scene with Frederick Forrest, speaking of hero/villain. As a kid, I loved it because it showed the D-FENS wasn’t just a monster, he still had a bit of a moral compass and knew when someone was truly over the line. Similarly, I liked that he was disgusted by some of the people he had…

Johan Renck used to be known as Stakka Bo.

Yes, you fool, of the 10 Best Threequels listed, it’s number 14!

Ah, I’m glad you agree! I thought I was ploughing a lone furrow on that one.

Tokyo Drift is the best Fast & Furious film.

No it wasn’t, I put “Kurosawa [...] borrowed a lot from John Ford”.

Even if you don’t think Kurosawa took any storytelling ideas from Ford, he did certainly take ideas from outside of Japan, and the West specifically. Yojimbo took a lot of inspiration from Dashiell Hammett - Kurosawa cites The Glass Key himself and obviously the plot is similar to Red Harvest as well. Throne of Blood…

She played a mother in Child's Play, and it was pretty odd 

Eh, Kurosawa (for example, I know he didn’t make Lone Wolf & Cub) borrowed a lot from John Ford, so it’s swings and roundabouts really.

I'm pretty sure someone on staff genuinely said "don't forget to bring a towel!" on a trip to a lake, which led to the creation of Towlie.

And in Hawk The Slayer, the giant is just a bloke who is the tall end of normal.

I *wish* Timothee Chalamet was in a Candyman prequel...

I certainly appreciated Andor putting effort into characters, rather than into references to a cartoon I didn’t watch.

You’re right, he’s Chief Creative Officer (as per the article), not Chief Operations Officer as I would have assumed reading the headline.
