I always seem to forget how much I enjoy Travis. I guess maybe they just aren’t too showy, but just very consistently good. I saw them once as a band, and another time with just Fran Healy and the Guitarist Andy Dunlop. That second show was really memorable. Fran is a great storyteller and an affable guy. They met…

Surely “a lot of extra faff that that is bad for you because it’s pointless excess calorie and sugar and a waste of money at a time when the cost of groceries is going up” describes about 99% of Bake Off? I think you pretty much have to accept the premise of people faffing around making complicated, unhealthy and…

Except the Neville/Luna thing entirely consisted of only a brief line in Deathly Hallows Part 2 and it’s not contradicted in the film’s epilogue. So even in the film continuity itself they are still potentially together...

Don’t say that, you’ll be flooded with Polyjuice accident cat-Hermione.

That whole epilogue chapter read like crummy Harry Potter fanfic. “And Ron and Hermione got married and had babies and their names were Hugo and Rose and also Harry and Ginny got married and had babies and they named them Lily Luna and James Sirius and Albus Severus because Harry was so proud of Snape for loving his…

Sure, Snape was a less-than-compassionate educator (to put it mildly), but he also slyly taught his students what they needed to know: jumping ahead to the werewolf section in Azkaban, for example, to help explain the absence of Professor Lupin.

“ And I was like, “Harry is STILL pining away for his parents he never met?”

I have no idea if this is correct, but I’d venture to guess it’s usually not an actor who’s requesting to use a real gun with blanks. Sounds more like an industry too lazy to invest in props with force-feedback, or probably a million other solutions.

Just make a prop gun that has a recoil and spark like a regular gun, but doesn’t require a casing. The CG artists can use it as reference and touch it up however they please. 

Scars on his right cheek and he’s still wearing that helmet.

I already got my copy of Dune off the Internet.

“Avert your eyes, children! She may take on other forms!”

Fruit’s good. Meringue’s good. What’s not to like?

It’s amazing what laws the government snuck past us in the Brexit bill ;-)

1973's Hovis advert. End of discussion.

No one would have blamed you for saying to lazy to get off his ass.

The Martian might be my pick as the most purely entertaining of Scott’s post-Gladiator films. But it’s got to be Alien or Blade Runner.

See Gadot falls into the category of likely not meant to be an actor if it wasn’t for her looks. I think she’s fine but nothing special (and often fairly dull and stilted in her delivery).

I don’t see how it’s a screenwriting issue.  She’s there to be a fun cameo role, she makes that sequence fun, and then she’s finished; always leave ‘em wanting more.

I could not believe De Armas wasn’t in more of this, and I’m glad you wrote an article that basically summarizes my feelings. I don’t so much mind a little more serialization in bond movies, but this movie has too much Spectre carryover and it really feels like a breath of fresh air to have a bright new character come…
