Everyone should read the Morgaine series of books by CJ Cherryh. Morgaine is a fantastic character, visually striking, complex and nuanced and utterly determined to complete her mission no matter who stands in the way. And her relationship with her squire Vanye is completely non-sexual yet rich and tender and…

People use ‘TERF’ like they use ‘bitch or ‘slut’. Names used to put women down and keep them in their place and stop them speaking up. Same old misogyny and fear and I guess it’s never going away.

I think because in the UK there is a longer history of skepticism, civil disobiedience and distrust of pseudoscience and bullying. Feminism is taken more strongly there and women are making strides in law to protect their sex class. It all adds up to being very aware of the damage uncritical thinking can do.

This is a horrendously misogynist article, shaming feminists for their looks and smearing them by linking them to the political right. When women have concerns about men in their spaces they deserve to be listened to, or is a history full of violent oppression not enough. 

My prediction: I have a feeling that Dany will die in episode 3. If the showrunners want to play GRRM’s game of “No One Is Safe!” then she will die and the dragons, now happy to accept Jon as their master, will help him save the world. Whether she’s mad or not, she will just be a conflicted character who died en-route…

B- is a very generous score for such a boring, ugly film. The original is short and sweet (and very cruel) but this is just bloated and anodyne. D-

I’m late to this episode but it was good even though I’m sad that we lost such a great example of character design. Airiam really was beautifully made.

He is undeniably talented, he just hasn’t put those talents to good use for a while.

You can’t prove there is no god but as there is no evidence for a god, there is no need to invent him.

The decision to play Tic-Tac-Toe, and not do something else with your time that could make a difference, is political.

Nothing in life is set apart from politics. Every decision made by any human comes from a point of view shaped by the political. It is nonsense when people go around saying “I don’t want politics in my movies!!!”

I think you’re right. He should be telling his kid he did a great job and encouraging him to draw as much as possible instead of killing all the glee and spontaneity in the kid’s art with some polished but unimaginative “adult” copies. Very sad.

It was a different one-eyed man they visited in the 80s timeline. They only found the house of the second one-eyed man after running the numberplate when he was outside the house in the old-man timeline.

Art is the more important point and art might even solve all other human problems (though art might possibly not actually eliminate zombies ).

I just don’t think Wes Anderson has any worst impulses. Tim Burton on the other hand...

Here’s why the anxiety: Ghostbusters is not a film about busting ghosts. That’s what people forget. The lightening-in-a-bottle is that it’s a film about an actor, Bill Murray, who is the only person in the world who know he is really playing a part in a fictional film. Thats why he couldn’t give a shit about the end…

All Star Superman is amazing. Look at the way Superman physically alters himself to play Clark Kent. It’s perfect and is exactly what the movies should have done.

Nobody who loves their son lets them watch as he walks into a tornado willingly and no one with the power to stop it lets them either.

I like Ghostbusters 2016 and I like Leslie Jones and I’d love a sequel to that film. It had potential, and a better director might have squeezed that out.
