Seeing as it's now 2016 and comics have come so far by now, can we finally admit that The Dark Knight Returns actually just kinda sucks? I realise that back in 1986, it probably blew everyone's socks off. But we're 30 years and many better books down the line now. I appreciate its place in history and the fact that it…

I just assumed the man in the mask was Jay's father, building towards some kind of Barry/Henry parallel. Wasn't Jay's dad a war veteran?

I'm just kidding. I love Mulder too, but Duchovny has always played him with a certain disengagement. I think it comes across as intriguing, but I'm not the first person to make fun of it. From 'Jose Chung's From Outer Space':

In fairness, The X-Files does have a long and storied history of exploiting current terrorism fears to pump up what would otherwise be pretty unremarkable episode concepts.

I think the only good reason to bring it back was to make an episode like 'Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster' - a fun goof on how the show can't really work now that the characters are middle-aged, everyone has cellphones with cameras, and silly mysteries at the periphery of the civilised world are no longer…

I dunno. I was pretty aggressively turned off by the premiere, which did a shitty job of trying to undo nine whole seasons of the show's mythology just to justify coming back (and hey - that whole conspiracy to take over the world with alien ships and gun buybacks has really taken a backseat to some pretty minor…

Miller is a bland hunk of amiable nothing

The steady appearance of BSG alumni is the best indication that this show is back to its Vancouver roots. That, and the lack of stories that require Mulder and Scully to solve crimes in Arizona.

Um, actually these clips aren't all taken from The Fellowship of the Ring. There are sections lifted from The Two Towers, and even The Return of the King. I hope someone gets fired for that blunder.

One thing I will say having started reading the first book - there's obviously stuff the show can't translate that well onto screen (like Belter physiology). But in most other ways, they've done a damn good job of jazzing things up. The adventures of the Cant crew through the first chunk of the book have no conflict…

I think the question we should be asking is why we're all paying taxes to keep dull homicide detectives in a job. Surely these charming outsiders can just solve all our crimes for us.

"I think Esposito lied to us."
"What do you mean 'you think'? You're God! I don't understand the rules of this!"
"Let us pray."
"To who?!"

I'm pretty sure that the message of this movie is that the victims of paedophiles are more dangerous than paedophiles themselves. And also that studios should never give Chris Carter movie-level money again.

I think of it as him spending two hours trying to make a Christopher Nolan movie and failing. And in failing so badly, he's just unable to take it any more and goes full Snyder for that entire final act.

Yeah, that opening credit sequence in Watchmen really messes with my perception of him. It's the most original bit of the movie, and by far the best. By contrast, all his efforts to just copy the damn book are awful.

It looks a lot like that Sabotage movie only with crusty, disgusting supervillains instead of crusty, disgusting Arnold Schwarzeneggar-led DEA agents.

I watched that Man of Steel trailer and thought, "Hey, maybe I had Zack Snyder all wrong. Given the right source material and the right guidance, maybe he can make an emotionally-mature, thrilling Superman movie."

It's really effective at letting me know that something is supposed to be funny, less good at including anything that's actually funny.

It's also a good example of how changing the music in a trailer can trick you into thinking you're watching, say, a James Gunn movie instead of a moody macho David Ayer one.

Guys I can 100% prove that time travel is real because my dumbass 14 year old self has obviously been transported to 2016 to direct a major Hollywood movie.
