I was always indifferent towards this one. Didn’t think it was bad as it didn’t do anything particularly egregious, it was just there. But then we started a marathon after Sam Neill died and I actually quite enjoyed this a lot more now, certainly more so thank FK which we still haven’t gotten to yet

Car manufacturers should go back to putting CD players in cars as standard. Not everything is available on streaming.

Film studies should be taught as mandatory as maths, English, science etc. in schools. It would expose you to different cultures, languages, time periods, music. It would promote empathy and understanding of other people's struggles and successes. Hugely beneficial to society.

I should point out that I’ve only seen 4 MCU films since Endgame (The Marvels & all 3 Spideys). And when Yelena popped up in BND it took me a minute or so to realise it was her (as I haven’t seen anything else with Florence Pugh either despite her being everywhere) but I got by easily enough.

So I told him just to watch Infinity War because even if he knew zilch about any of the characters he’d understand the premise and the stakes within the first 5 minutes. However I was leaving at the time so I don’t know if he took my advice but I like to think he did.

When Endgame came out a guy I worked with was quite curious to see it despite not having seen a single MCU film, and so probably didn’t know his Black Widow from his Black Panther.

I feel bad now for admitting it took me the entire film to work out that was Russell Brand when I saw it in the cinema, despite frequently asking myself who it was. So don’t ever tell me Clark Kent has the worst disguise.

As someone who loves the BBC, but finds it hard to defend a lot these days, I honestly didn’t know about this one so will have to try and give it a listen.

In May of 1940 there was a mass panic in Britain - stirred up by the tabloid press - about 'fighting aged men' who had come to Britain as 'refugees' posing a threat to the women and children of this country - and essentially forming a 'fifth column' that could, at any moment rise up against everyone

Buffy. The Gift. Need I say more? And in the same vein Supernatural’s Swan Song (I start getting misty eyed from the action figure story onwards!) 24, when Jack called Kim to tell her he’d be going down with the plane. And I was a blubbing mess from the end of The Dark Knight Rises.

Always liked “That wasn’t very nice.” when he bails out of the car after Camille tries to shoot him in Quantum of Solace. And the entire cinema erupted at “Now the whole world is gonna know that you died scratching my balls.” Proof positive his Bond and films always had a sense of humour.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I used to follow TWIT on the other place since lockdown and have only just got round to reading The Decade in Tory (I asked for it for my birthday so don’t ask me where it came from). I honestly can’t put it down, except for when I annoyingly have to go to sleep.

Given how many birds are tooling around above us in the sky and shitting freely, it's a miracle we don't get shat on more often. Hats off to birds, they're doing a great job.

What happened to all the biblical level miracles? It was easy to believe in God thousands of years ago. He was doing crazy shit left right and centre. Parting seas, walking on water, raising the dead etc. You'd have thought he'd still drop the odd one in to remind us he's there.

"If there there was a window it was not broken, but it if was broken it was not by Nigel Farage's ball, but if it was his ball he certainly did not kick it, and if he did kick it, it was an accident and he knew nothing about it" said a Reform spokesperson.

There is no one perfect version of Superman. There are numerous iterations and versions that all stem from a central idea and even that idea went through fifteen permutations. Thus, there is no truly “right” version of Superman…just one that you vibe with the most.

I bet you there are people in Star Trek that don't believe in warp drives. Some illiterate redneck in the middle of nowhere is ordering Bud Lights out of the replicator and ranting about how Starfleet is a Vulcan conspiracy, teleporters make you gay, Tellarites aren't real, etc

I know you're not allowed to say this during the current debate, but the reason the left dominates academics, art, comedy, and music is that the right has stupid, discredited ideas, they're not funny, and dull resentment does not make for good art. No grand conspiracy required.

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

If you don’t like comic book/superhero movies, fine, they’re not to your taste, no worries. But if you proudly present your disdain as a sign of virtue, an indication of what refined cinematic taste you have, well, then you annoy the fuck out of me.

If Starmer goes it will be five PMs in four years. Unprecedented?! No. The post pandemic 1920s saw a new challenger party, and a tousled haired, lecherous, corrupt leader succeeded by a burst of PMs. Five PMs… from three parties …. in two years and a month.
