No Jessie Bannon, no sale. For all its faults - notably the bombastically crap 'QuestWorld' VR stuff - Real Adventures was a great cartoon and had a ludicrously epic theme tune.

Looks a laugh, but by god, I wish someone had told Cabbagepatch to ditch that atrocious American accent, or just hired an American. It's obvious already that it's bad enough to probably distract all the way through the movie, although the presence of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Tilda Swinton and MADS! will no doubt make up for…

To be fair, her kid was eminently abandonable.

I mean, it's clearly Picard. He excels in all the areas you'd want a leader to excel in real life and is one of very few leading men who are diplomats and delegators first where bravado and machismo are typically overvalued. He's also got a tremendously moving arc (even if some of it was retrofitted) from the…

Ignore me if you're sick of being asked this, but what is it about Trump that makes him your preferred candidate? I love hearing the thoughts of people whose stances differ from my own and there's so much hysteria in the coverage of Trump's campaign on both sides that it'd be great to hear your opinion outside all…

While all those poor, misinformed people were hopelessly trying to find Mew under some random truck, I was happily playing through Mario 64 as Luigi after finding him under the fountain in the castle courtyard. L is real, folks. Also great: finding the triforce in the Temple Of The Sages in Ocarina of Time, and taking…

Given the number of interviews that seem to have popped up in short order since the episode aired - many of them, rather amusingly, with Sarah Shapiro more or less doing what her show seems to be criticising Rachel for - I'm rather inclined to believe these were prepped in advance given the circumstances the show is…

If this interview wasn't prepared in advance to pre-empt criticism, it was turned out amazingly quickly considering the episode only aired last night. Anyhow, a big part of Rachel's characterisation this season her use of 'progressive' values for self-promotion and to fuel her egocentrism. In the first episode, she…

I bet that guy gave his ex the Lickitungs. HOLLAAAAAAA!

Or did he? We may never know.

"We’re not sure what makes White an expert on gender equality[…]"

Whomever's writing that shit will be missing a trick if the villain isn't called Pat Riarchy.

Fair enough, you've got some good names on there. Obviously it's all subjective, but while I like most of the names on that list (there are a few I don't know) I'm still struggling to think of a really good combination who'd make a well-balanced team, and I think there's a greater variety of comic personas among…

I'd argue that most British cities or regions are as culturally distinct as those in the States or elsewhere, but the smaller size of the UK makes people more aware and able to experience those cultural differences firsthand, whereas the sheer endeavour of travelling between major cities in the US makes them more…

British humour and attitudes are strongly linked to cynicism, which is why we relate more strongly to characters struggling to do their best in bad situations, living in miserable environments, or egregiously fluffing their lines in the rare moments when success or happiness is within reach. For their considerable…

"You're the vulgarian, you fuck!"

'Novelty is not the same as gimmickry, and Feig, along with co-screenwriter Katie Dippold (who also wrote The Heat), doesn’t frame the 2016 Ghostbusters as an “all-female comedy”'

Ah, yes, that crucial sixteen year landmark.

I'd certainly agree with you, and the roundtable contributors, that it isn't ideal that articles more drily analytical of objectification and sexism tend to be written by men. I certainly don't wish to discount the (obviously) essential importance of women having a prominent say in dissecting the myriad ways the issue…

The original definition of objectification (back in t'days when there was such a thing as nuance) involved a person being dehumanised or having control of their image or identity stripped from them, usually through sexual means. Robbie and Ferreira choosing to present sexual images of themselves is their choice, and…
