The crossover I want to see is Red Dwarf’s Cat vs. any number of interchangeable Anime cat girls. With Panthro from Thundercats caught in the middle.

They’re all metal as fuck.

And there I was hoping he’d get vivisected or used as a suppository by a depraved Rancor Monster...

If you reduce people to tools and props in a polemic or a contrived scenario. you dehumanise them. There are plenty enough sermons, and they are doing little good as it is.

Well, like every other Doctor Who fan, that was my first thought [upon seeing Rogue One]. But, you know, word on Media Street is that Star Wars might have a tiny edge on us, budget-wise.

In shock news, z-list ‘celebrity’ turns out to be a rather appalling human being.

One of the great flaws of our society is how it idolises the family, unconditionally, to the point that our popular media is full of stories where physically, mentally and/or verbally abusive arseholes are always given a ‘second chance’, are forgiven, or even portrayed sympathetically.

It looks like complete cheesy nonsense - I’M SOLD.

It will be a David vs. Goliath scenario, concluded with kaiju bromance. Mark my words...

I also worry they’re just going to cast another white dude.

Two problems here - firstly, you’re not the editor. Secondly, you’ll never be the editor. So, err, piss off?

People are attracted to charismatic vermin; nothing more. Though, the ‘Hipster Stromfront’ scene was already taking hold on Jim Goad’s site before Obama had even stood for his first term.

As with football, American Football’s off-pitch drama and slagging matches are far more entertaining than the sport itself.

Good to see people were spouting shite online back then too.

Anti-intellectualism is a massive con, and like other cons, it depends on the mark being complicit in it.

If this is one of those ‘grumpy character learns to be a better person’ films, I give up. Because the moment they ‘go on a journey’ and do all that ‘life lesson’ bollocks, they stop being fun. What’s wrong with a bell-end staying a bell-end? Why must everything be a rather boss-eyed sermon?

You never get this level of nonsense with Blood Bowl.

The next Doctor should be an enormous Flemish Rabbit. That’ll shut everyone up.

These are mostly just self-indulgent follies, with the exception of OceanOne, which is amazing, and Asimo, who always adds a spring to your step. (And making people happy is a worthy area of research, is it not?)
