As a Brit, I find it hard to believe the US would elect someone genuinely of the left. It's too far outside the individualism which is the cornerstone of American national character. Sanders reminds me of Jeremy Corbyn, the current head of the UK's centre-left party. Corbyn, a lifelong socialist, is much further to…

It wasn't killing the protagonist, but as a youth I enjoyed activating Invincibility, All Guns and Infinite Ammo on GoldenEye 007 and seeing how many magnificent deaths I could send scientists to, mostly sending them flying through the air with explosives. There were a large number of death animations in the game so…

Why do I get the feeling that if this comic were about a man, the word 'entitlement' would be getting thrown around with spurious abandon?

I'm pretty certain the closer was suggesting Lance is being set up by Prometheus, who probably realised Team Arrow was onto his MO when Artemis appeared on the train, so is now trying to throw them off the scent. Plus, Lance isn't played by Michael Dorn and Prometheus' voice in a previous episode had Dorn's exact…

The episode wasn't great and the serialised storyline is increasingly feel as though limited material is being dragged out well beyond its natural length - last season was also serialised, but each episode was a little more self-contained, balancing both sides out - but there were still a few decent laughs. Gerald…

Maybe it won't work. As I said, there are always going to be bitter, nasty people. However, in a choice between one strategy which I only see creating more division and entrenching prejudice (by insulting them) or another which might only stand a tiny chance of making a difference, but nevertheless offers that tiny…

What is embarrassing them going to accomplish? Humiliating and comdemning people only exacerbates resentment and feelings of it being them against the world, a snobby elite vs the proud working man. I'd rather find ways of improving their lives, especially through improving access to education and opportunity. It's…

(Warning: This is a long one. I'm going to get all this off my chest and then genuinely try not to talk about it again)

"Brooks still identifies as a feminist, but many of her qualms against Clinton sound eerily similar to the ones heard in the more misogynist corners of the internet."

It's nice to be genuinely excited for a superhero movie for a change considering how few blockbusters seem to be anything else at the moment. What little has been seen of Gal Gadot's performance has been encouraging, although it really annoys (more than it should, really) that she's not taller and more muscular. That…

As a non-comics reader, the movie is watchable but throwaway and unexciting. It's effectively a tech demo, with only the loosest sketch of a plot and a protagonist who, as Dowd notes, is Tony Stark with non-specific mysticism rather than technology. Even the special effects, while amusing, do not leave any lasting…

My hope is that the Man In Black will reach the centre of the maze, whereupon he will suddenly awaken and have Timothy Spall make fun of him for missing all the blatant clues and playing like a pudding.

I finished watching Red Dwarf XI. It's obviously nowhere near the standard of seasons 1-7 (yes, I like 7), but a huge step up on 'Back To Earth' and X. It's hit the level of easy comfort food, where I like the characters, actors and setting enough that only having two or three laughs per episode is good enough to…

Seems Canadians have taken playing footsea to a whole new level.

I'm quietly hoping Cartman's fear of being exposed will turn him back to the dark side, taking Heidi with him as his Harley Quinn.

Never seen this show before, but watched this episode as a Bond fan after hearing Fleming was in it. Disappointed they didn't do much with him, and I'm assuming the fact he's in the field (when I'm 99% sure he spent all of WW2 behind a desk as an Intelligence Officer, assisting the Head of Naval Intelligence, Admiral…

That was certainly… busy. Every scene seemed to be introducing some major idea out of nowhere and treating it as though it had been part of the scenery all along. Alien Amnesty Act? A bit odd, considering the only aliens we've seen outside J'onn and the Supers have been the Kryptonians from Fort Rozz, all of whom…

A welcome change of pace for a Black Mirror episode to end on an optimistic note. This is a series with an ongoing habit of hobbling its most potent ideas with a fetish for ludicrously overblown nastiness (see: Fifteen Million Credits; White Bear), when its better episodes tend to be more low-key (Be Right Back) or at…

Every time I've commented on one of these articles, it's to discuss the year's Bond movie, so will keep that trend alive considering 1987 saw the release of one of my favourite entries in the series. With Roger Moore having departed the title role with one of the series' low points, A View To A Kill - a movie so…

Looks fiddly and not quite ideal in any configuration. The standard controller configuration is damnably ugly - I have faith in Nintendo's experience in controller design that it won't be as uncomfortable as it looks, but… eurgh. The screen with controllers attached looks the best of the setups, but a bit wider than…
