It’s like a sleazy strip joint where the movie industry is a smacked out pole dancer and China is the oozing, malodorous toilet seat salesman threading soiled $5 bills into her g-string.

I’m not saying this anime is dodgy, but if it were a man, it would be hiding behind a bush with a long lense and wearing its dead Nan’s underwear.

If feminism brings anything to fandom, it is a much-needed, long overdue period of self-reflection.

David Brin makes some excellent points, and the article is up there with Moorcock’s ‘Starship Stormtroopers’ in its insight - but that’s only half the essay. The other half is utterly compromised by his non-stop Star Trek nut-riding, turning a blind-eye to its cosy beige militarism, romper-suited fascism and a morbid…

Hopefully we’ll see more of Queen Trios too - a stoic with style.

Allow me to quote the Good Dr. Gonzo, or Hunter S. Thompson, as he was known for legal reasons:

I was a fan of Big Red the moment I laid eyes on him. Asked a sensible question. Wasn’t mentally ill. Seemed rather charming. And he likes his primary colours.

Negan’s an utter shit, but he’s also a rational actor. He’s not going to maim Rick physically when he can do it mentally (and keep him biddable in the process). It will be a threat that he calls off at the last moment just to break Deputy Gormless a little bit more.

It had to be Florida, didn’t it?

If that’s not a sign from nature itself, I don’t know what is.

In UK slang, ‘shat’ is the past participle of ‘shit’, if ‘shit’ is used as a verb.

William Shatner is simultaneously naff and magnificent. Nowhere is this made more clear than here:

This is not Kim’s fault. 

Indeed, it’s a strange week indeed where one finds oneself siding with Kim Kardashian and applauding Kanye West.

...A new retrospective looking back at all six seasons of The Walking Dead ahead of the show’s seventh season premiere the week after...

He’d be better at writing dialogue too. And characterisation...

The Death Star doesn’t stand a chance.

Every knight in armour and cataphract should have a friendly pet pangolin as a mascot. One can imagine St. George riding into battle against the dragon, his trusty pangolin at his side...

What if Pangolins are secretly fighting a war against the ants, stopping them from taking over the world?
