I worked with a woman a decade ago who didn’t realise dinosaurs or pirates were real.

Great, great actor. I was a huge fan of his Terminator work which left a huge impression despite his relatively small screen time

The person I feel bad about in all of this is Cavill who seemed genuinely excited to be coming back to the role, only to have everything completely dashed a few weeks later.

Not an American here but we did Romeo + Juliet in Year 10 and then Ken Branagh’s Hamlet in Year 12. Good times. 

Birthright is twice as long as Secret Origin, so it has far more time to tell its story which is quite purposely trying to tell a modern Superman story.

There’s a famous story about the resignation of Anthony Eden and Lord Salisbury being asked to do the sounding out in Cabinet about whether Rab Butler or Harold MacMillan should replace him.

DC’s had a terrible habit of doing that.

Absolutely. It’s what makes his Luthor probably my favourite live action version of the character.

Smallville is a show which I have a complicated relationship with.

Sounds about right.

I can’t wait for next year’s Doctor Who Festivus special! 

It’s also way too fucking long, has a mostly pointless framing sequence and my god the language in it is impenetrable at times. 

Indeed and the pilot itself was actually shot in 1997, a year before the rest of the series.

It’s a shame we never got Lawrence Tierney as one of the Family. 

I’ve always prefered those later posters for the series.

Son of a bitch. This movie is a nightcrawler. It’s gone and got itself some corporate sponsorship. It’s only in it for the money, not the science!

For what it’s worth, I mostly enjoyed Black Adam.

It’s Chow-dah! Say it right!

I must be weird because I’ve always liked that font. 

Oh yeah for sure.
