"Continuing to dance around the the possibility of a female James Bond by making movies that fit that description in practice but not in name[…]"

As the friend of someone who has been the subject of a hate campaign from Breitbart for making fun of gamergate and its associated brats, I can assure you it'd be far nastier and psychologically oppressive than the mild inconvenience of deleting your social media accounts, particularly if your exposure were spread…

So knowing how polarised and angry the political climate is right now, you'd be perfectly happy for your identity to be spread across a global news network for making fun of one side? You'd have no concern about harassment from those blindly entrenched on one side, tracking you down either on social media or in real…

In other words: the internet rando who created the meme. As the person above said, if Breitbart had tracked down and threatened to expose someone who'd created an anti-Trump meme, there'd justifiably be disgust. This is no different, and while it may be legal, it's profoundly wrong and not the issue to be discussing.

They could have 'won' (aka: held the moral high ground) by focusing on Trump's childishness and unsuitability for office in retweeting the meme, not gone hunting the guy who created the meme in the first place, which was never intended to leave whatever sordid forum he created it for (even if he's proud it was). Trump…

Yup. No sensible person's going to be sad this cretin's eating humble pie, but it's extremely disconcerting that a major media organisation - conservative or progressive - has gone hunting for some internet rando because he created a stupid but harmless internet meme that El Pendejo Naranja happened across, and are…

"There shouldn’t be any good way to resolve this story. This is Missy we’re talking about, so there’s almost no conceivable way she could reform in a way audiences would properly believe."

Certainly one of the better episodes in a deeply mediocre season: I've downgraded Smile and Pyramid, having rewatched the season up to this point. This episode had much in common with Extremis: both atmospheric, but ultimately using their big ideas only to disguise the lack of substance behind them. Put simply,…

The sad thing is that I remember the first movie being reasonably good fun, piggybacking off the 'first car is the coolest thing in the world' feeling to make the human story passably relatable, get in a few passable gags, and keep the plot at least somewhat focused and not overstuffed with characters and Bay's…

Johansson's the second best paid Avenger at $20m.

Wait until she finds out he's simply a hairy gay man.

Bill only just realising that the TARDIS provides telepathic translation makes me think this episode aired out of order, reinforced by the number of narrative similarities between this episode and 'Empress Of Mars' giving it a more-of-the-same feel. As a huge fan of McCoy - my favourite Doctor - and his final season…

That trailer was really quite terrible. Nonstop gratuitous swearing and jiggling breast physics made it adolescent in the most tiresome way, whereas the original was a bit silly, cartoonishly odd and amusing in all the right ways. Plus, while I don't want to bang a drum, the original was celebrated for featuring a…

She has, and again, I fully admit that I may well be reading the situation completely incorrectly. Everything's in total disarray, so if it were difficult enough to make accurate predictions or interpretation before, it's near impossible now. I just don't see the pro-EU Tories being nearly as determined in their…

They have Europe-friendly ministers, but none I'd venture who lean as strongly in that direction as their eurosceptic wing. After all, their previous majority was a meagre 16 - a little higher in real terms, with Sinn Fein not turning up - and there was little to no rebellion against the 'no deal is better than a bad…

Some notes. The Conservatives didn't suffer a 'crushing defeat', even though they lost significant seats (including two, Canterbury and Kensington, which they'd held since the constituencies were created) and their Parliamentary majority. They remain the largest party and their vote share actually went up, for reasons…

Night Terrors is actually my favourite of Gatiss' episodes and one of the best of that season. The stuff with Amy and Rory trapped in the dolls' house is perfunctory, but the giant dolls look appropriately disquieting and the setting is atmospheric. The Doctor's plotline is more interesting, a sly look at how people…

[MINOR SPOILERS]

Lord, that was terrible. Set up a potentially phenomenal episode in the first fifteen (Doctor siding with baddies, Bill has to turn to Missy - wasted here, despite Gomez's reliable excellence - for help) then threw it away for trailer bait. Instead, everyone ambles into the enemy lair and saves the day with some Power…

This is semi-interesting, or at least a shade more complex as far as these outrages go. As much as Maher's reputation is built on pushing boundaries, so you know what you're at risk of when you tune in, in these times especially when racial tensions are particularly high and the racist fringe of the right is…
