Coldplay’s 2024 Glastonbury Festival” is a weird and inaccurate way to describe it.

I always assumed that the next film would be called Fast and Furious: This One Goes Up To 11.

Err...did you not see the mid-credits scene?

Star Wars? Are you sure you’re not confusing Sight & Sound with Empire?

Well I’m British and I don’t recognise it.

Slide 15: the glow isn’t coming from inside the box. It’s coming from the torch being held by the guy at right, shining towards the box.

What the hell does “It’s been a grip” mean?

It’s not “on the eve of the film’s projected victory lap”. It’s the eve of the film’s release. You do a victory lap after you’ve already won the race.

Four is definitely my favourite amount of quadrants.

You’re talking about this one, i guess?

Based ON.

Casting idea off the top of my head: Ethan Hawke.

It’d be hilarious if they also had to recast his role in Fantastic Beasts.

“Cruise gets little credit”? Seriously?

I get that, but certain constructions also rely on logic, and not just the amount of people using them. Something is “based on”, because it’s on a base. That’s what bases are. People also say “literally” when they mean “figuratively”. The fact that a lot of people do it doesn’t stop it being nonsense.

Then people use that as a justification: “lots of people say it so it must be right”. And people who say that they did something “on accident” are even more incomprehensible to me.

Based ON. Not based “off of”. FFS.

Seeing a thing acted out in front of your eyes is very different from reading a description of it.

I assumed he meant commercial failure.
