Will Riker's soggy finger

Just going to throw this out there, but Minority Report is actually quite decent. Not great or anything, but an easy watch and steadily finding its feet - it'll be cancelled in four episodes' time, of course, and despite the tepid beginning, it'll almost be a shame. It looks nice (despite budget compromises), Meagan

I liked it, but couldn't quite love it. The positives, and they're biggies: Bruce Campbell revving up a chainsaw. Been waiting thirteen years to match that chin and that sound back together. The attack on his trailer was very Evil Dead II and Ash vs the possessed doll was gloriously Army Of Darkness-inflected

I dunno. Clearly he was a vile, vile man, but I can't help but have some grudging respect for someone so stunningly dickish as to use his own death as a point-scoring exercise achieved with a clinical 'touché'.

The stupidest thing in this article is the suggestion that Lara Croft has anything in common with Ian Fleming's Bond. What?

Any piece of entertainment these days which includes or is associated with the words 'destiny' or 'prophecy' instantly go on my 'ignore' list. The Matrix movies did the last semi-original spin on the Chosen One narrative over a decade ago, can we please move onto something less teeth-gnashingly clichéd (and which

I'm Will Riker, tarts. I live on a starship, get to make out with a sexy empath in a onesie, can change the entire universe for the better by growing a beard, get to say 'red alert!' a lot and my authority is second only to the greatest bald man in history. Q gave me the chance to be a god but I rejected it, because

I think both Rusty and Moffat are better ideas men than storytellers. Moffat's better at filling out middle acts with something other than filler shots of people running, but his incessant showmanship with time-travel and messing with the show's mythos only invites more scrutiny to plots which often fall apart under

The only reason virtually every cliffhanger in the series so far has been 'Doctor/companion have their lives threatened' is because the writers haven't been forced to come up with better ones. Leaving characters in peril is a terrible cliffhanger for precisely the reason you mentioned. A good one drastically changes

Really enjoyed this, despite some very glaring flaws. The first four episodes of the season have all been varying degrees of enjoyable, which is a considerable relief after the mostly mediocre Season 8.

What knockers!

Nah, Jeromeker's only slightly older than wee Bruce. I'd guess he's late teens, maybe very early twenties, though don't think it's ever been stated exactly. Certainly his story last season made clear he was very young.

Norton's fantastic and having three guests on at the same time gives his show a very distinct dynamic that can spin gold, especially when the guests would seem completely mismatched (see: Miriam Margolyes and Will.I.Am). Ferguson was my favourite for one-on-one interviews though and I completely disagree that

I seem to remember them talking about the nature of free will and Baudelaire in different interviews, so naturally, the fact they flirted meant she was only there because he wanted to fuck her. If anyone completely respected and teased out the intelligence of his guests, male and female, it was Ferguson. That was what

They didn't ask Aisha Tyler? She's a joy on Whose Line and has a podcast in which she chats with people one-on-one. Best choice by far, should she want it.

I didn't level any accusation. My point was that the film industry is not meritocratic, so Damon's point about diversity not being an issue behind the camera was based on an unrealistic assumption that all talent is operating on a level playing field right now, while most evidence suggests otherwise.

I couldn't really be equivocating less. My position has been stated exactly, whether you agree with it, don't agree with it, or do the 'he said he's not a feminist, OMG WOMAN HATER' drivel with accompanying strawman arguments. The fact is, white feminists and their concerns represent the massively dominant voice of

My understanding was that it was more the fact that women and non-white men are not being given the same opportunities to compete and put themselves forward without prejudicial assumptions, so the notion of the film industry being meritocratic is naive at best.

I would argue that there's a very clear separation between what seems to be called 'black feminism' and 'white feminism', with the latter generally acting as the voice of the movement as a whole. The issues of non-white women specifically certainly do not seem to get anywhere near as much attention.

Well, let's be honest, the western white women that feminism overwhelmingly represents are a long way from being the group that needs the most help. As much as the word 'oppression' gets thrown around, white women may not have as much power as white men, but the separating distance is nowhere near as enormous as made

Wasn't as much fun as last week, but still passably enjoyable. The problem, as ever, is that Moffat has absolutely no regard for basic story logic. So the Doctor knew Davros was screwing him over and was planning on plugging him into the genetic doodad and purging his regeneration energy. How he worked that out, we'll
