haven’t watched Elementary in a few seasons but is Andrew “Hot Priest” Scott who’s playing Moriarty the same Andrew Scott who played Moriarty in Sherlock? Don’t tease me with a crossover, Elementary...

I thought that 1999’s most anticipated film that was a childhood-ruining debacle was Eyes Wide Shut but seems we’re talking about Star Wars again....

ouch. Nah, Kings Speech wasn’t my thing and Shakespeare in Love may appear middlebrow, but it’s Tom Stoppard punching down, and there’s some really clever stuff in there, that only comes from someone who really knows the material.

perhaps, but I’d like to see him try a bit harder.

oh, good shout.

right after posting, I realised I’d forgetten Afleck - he was excellent. His reading of “Staffordshire shit pot” is so funny. And with just the right amount of resentment.

good point, well made. Ryan almost created a sub-genre of war (and action) moves, didn’t it?

Ah, the 20th anniversary of everyone forgetting that Saving Private Ryan isn’t as good as they remember.

I think Marvel gave the artwork for the Surfer away for pocket change and a lollipop. I know John Byrne certainly didn’t get paid.

I like HOX and POX as shorthand for these books, but now we know what X means, guess now they’re Ho10 and Po10?

yeah, he’d be good but c’mon, for old Bruce in a Batman Beyond show, you know you want Keaton...

it’s a fun movie - and Cher has never looked or been better - but my favourite anecdote is that Cage insisted that he recreate a scene from Metropolis:

what a great quote- whats that from?

“ohh ffs - there’s an actual war in the stars in Star Wars? Perhaps not mention that in your review? Spoiler much?”

...go on...

meh - I was hoping for Del Amitri...

you said to be honest!

...or perhaps it’s a regular opening weekend for a Brad movie.

I don’t like the guy* and don’t care what is actually in the movie**.

Hanks big confrontation with Larry and Artie; then asking for help with his car “aww, let’s help a brother out...”; and Larry’s last look back at the empty studio.
