Good lord, I hope so

Sex and the City: Liberation
Despicable Me: Shadow of Eternity
Street Sharks: Reborn

Finally, a chance to slake my hankering for a sample of The Huntsman's Winter War, the much-needed sequel to that dark and gritty fairytale adaptation.

Both (a la the German Bridesmaids porn parody, Dies Ist Nicht die Brautjungfern XXX)

And two episodes of Rome! And…er…Coach, and Everybody Loves Raymond? I guess the lesson is that TV writing is a weird industry.

(Jessica Jones spoilers, maybe?) I can't help but feel I'll be just a little disappointed if Kilgrave isn't mentioned as being part of Civil War's logic behind any sort of Registration Act, given that he's probably the first "super-criminal" (as opposed to the alien invaders, terrorists, bad wizards and gangsters of…

Yo' matriarch so titular, you breastfed til you was 5.

St Francis of Assisi, Count Chocula, zombie Lou Reed…

Good luck, all counting, etc.

La-dee-dah, someone can afford lotion.

Wrote an essay on Shakespeare's Julius Caesar sources which, in retrospect, was actually a better topic for a dissertation. My boss has received more than 5,000 emails since the vote last Wednesday to launch British airstrikes on Syria, of which the vast majority were threatening and/or abusive. She's offered to talk…

Congrats on getting the dissertation drafted. I started processing and notemaking on the texts which I'll be using as the source material for my own yesterday, and I'm pleased to say I'm already making some headway. Unfortunately, I don't get to submit a draft and my department academics are barred from offering any…

I like the American constitution for its codification of procedure and envy the US political process for that, but it's also easy to exploit to create full-blown democratic deadlock. In the UK, there is no written constitution, so you wind up in a situation where decisions which will affect millions of people have…

That's certainly a large part of it. The British Premiership also has less of a history of individuality behind it- the American President has always been a focal point and effectively the singular political leader. Until the eighties and Thatcher pioneering her domineering style of leadership that was picked up by…

In Colour by Jamie xx is getting pretty overlooked in the album of the year conversation. I guess when you're next to something as one-off special as To Pimp a Butterfly, you're always going to look like the silver medallist. This is the year where I extended my comfort zone beyond the indie/rock malaise of the…

Fuck the people who flooded my boss' office with emails, texts and letters threatening, cajoling, insulting and levelling some of the most rotten anti-Semitic sentiments I've ever seen over the current Parliamentary debate to bomb Syria. Fuck the people who want to bomb Syria because they're bloodthirsty fucks who…

I just found out (from reading your post) that Portishead are playing a New Year's Eve show in London. I now, too, hope that tickets are affordable. Also, congrats on the ridiculously high marks. I've been told multiple times than an 80 is flat-out impossible to get, so, you know, wow.

Out of interest, which of the last five years would you say was the best for film overall?

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Trip, for god's sake!
