Am I correct in thinking this is not in the MCU? Read more
This. The Netflix shows are all fine - I enjoyed some a lot, others less so, but they maintain a certain quality. The Cloak and Dagger trailer looks fine too. But the ABC stuff is embarassing. Haley Atwell carried Agent Carter for two short seasons, but it wasn’t the show the actor or character deserved. Read more
I’d guess a massive crash within the century, followed by a slow, sad decline as the survivors, scavenging amongst the ruins of civilisation, regress into barbarism and fade into extinction. Read more
Probably a Negative Space Wedgie. Specifically a Swirly Energy Thingy. Read more
75% crap is probably about right (and 25% mediocrity). Read more
I can enjoy some real shlock but this series is so bad it’s causing me physical pain. The dog in the first scene made a lucky escape. Read more
Yeah, most of them have connections. IT has a lot. Main characters from IT show up in Insomnia and 22/11/63. Pennywise is mentioned in The Tommyknockers - and Nos4r2 by Joe Hill.

The thing that revived Alien, I think, is when it was remastered in HD. If you’ve only seen it on a panned-and-scanned VHS tape or TV broadcast, it looks pretty underwhelming. If you’ve seen it in HD widescreen, with the resolution cranked up so that tiny details like the Weylan(d)-Yutani wings on the crew uniforms… Read more
Yes, I always liked the novella and I was quite enjoying the film until the ending turned it into a one-trick shaggy dog story. Read more
My expectations for this are nonexistent. I saw a couple of the positive reviews but they appear to be by people who genuinely think Prometheus is a good film, so I have to seriously question their judgement. On the other hand, while it’s not going to be Alien or Aliens, third place in the Alien franchise is a pretty… Read more

BBC iPlayer has the binaural audio version up (listed as Doctor Who Enhanced). I thought it was quite effective. Read more
