Seems to me all the 'controversy' surrounding the character is another case of the self-righteous hijacking the voices of a entire nation for the sake of feigning outrage, without the slightest concern for whether said nation shares, or even disagrees with, the objections raised.

Rape is an unspeakably vile act for one human being to perpetrate upon another. I've also known a few people who have been raped to varying degrees of viciousness. One of my flatmates at uni was victim to something truly horrific (which I don't feel right disclosing, even in anonymity) and while she was strong enough…

I'm not joking when I say the Mysterons IMO deserve to be considered among the all-time great TV villains. The stark simplicity of those two circles denoting their presence, their ability to hypnotise people and recreate the dead or destroyed, that deep voice, even them announcing their plans ahead of time as though…

Vienetta's great, but only if you limit yourself to one slice per sitting. More than that and you'll instantly be completely sick of it. It's also the sort of thing you then don't buy for another six months, then see on discount (or further discount, it's not exactly high-end stuff to begin with) at the supermarket…

YES. Despite that terrible trailer, I love this movie, in no small part because it introduced me to wonders of Sam Rockwell. It's a lot of fun without being too flimsy, has a nicely off-kilter atmosphere and makes its political points well without being too on-the-nose, which would become a hallmark of the later works…

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna go write my own Batman movie! With blackjack! And hookers! In fact, forget the movie!"

As someone not only not looking forward to Deadpool, but from the trailers, thought it looked annoying and smarmy, I ended up watching it when I had a few hours to spare and found it a lot of fun. Not groundbreaking, but an appreciably irreverent, sarcastic spin on the tired superhero genre. I'm a Matrix sequels…

I've never liked the generally-worse-than-everything Marnie less than when she was ranting about herself to the clothes shop owner. I've also never liked her more than when she was taking advantage of the old dude at the party.

Funny you should mention Bond's white dinner jacket, because there's a deleted scene where, for once, Bond's overdressing is called out.

You'd be surprised. Bond's movie canon is certainly loose, but Tracy's death is a recurring element in a number of movies: Roger Moore goes to her grave in For Your Eyes Only, Tim Dalton's roaring rampage of revenge following the murder of Felix and his wife is subtly linked to Bond's tragic marriage, and Pierce…

Gert Fröbe (Goldfinger) was a member of the Nazi party, but it was revealed after the war that he actually hid and protected Jewish families during that time. Since most people won't know that, it seems a mite, I don't know, unfair to his memory to offhandedly brand him a Nazi, even if it is technically true.

Batman: "Supes, who's your favourite David Tennant-era Doctor Who companion?"

I really want to know what the plot point revolving around Lex Luthor's jar of piss is. I'm hoping Lex is all "Hey, Superman, how about some lemonade?" and Superman says "Yum yum, thanks Luthor, you're a real stand up fellow," and then glugs it down and Lex is grinning all the way before he says "Hur hur, that…

Ted Cruz is a lot like Ansel Elgort. His face is smugly loathable, yet he seems to turn up everywhere despite no-one seeming to like him. Ansel Elgort's slightly worse though, because his name somehow manages to be even more terrible than his remarkably terrible face. Yes, there's the whole 'Cruz stands a tiny chance…

The 2002 remake is still the best game in the series, IMO, though RE2 isn't far behind. While RE4 was fun, despite getting tiresome towards the end, the series lost all sense of itself from that point on. I played Revelations after reading it was a return to a more old-school style of Resi, but found it a boring,…

Haven't watched the video yet, but what's interesting is that the cartoon, of all things, lifted one of the villains from the comics, an effectively invincible thug named Walter. Always struck me as odd that a children's show should go looking to the insanely unsuitable source material for inspiration.

I loved the first season of Daredevil, and mostly enjoyed Jessica Jones, even if it never found a plot compelling enough to match its thematic focus. This second season of Daredevil, though, was a real mess. The early episodes weren't perfect but felt like they were building to something, and while the transition from…

Following the prolonged and staggeringly gruesome death of his son, Indy has to excavate the boy's grave to retrieve a particularly scrumptious packet of peanuts that Mutt stole from him last time they met. The title will be 'Indiana Jones And The Mutt's Nuts'.

The original Taken was great fun because its balls-out brutality was somewhat levied by the feeling the whole thing was a French satire on xenophobic American foreign policy and post-9/11 paranoia. It also, if I recall, concluded with Maggie Grace being held at knifepoint by what could only be described as an evil sex…

Movie hasn't been cast yet and there's already too many white people in it. Viola Davis or Margaret Cho pls.
