Remind me never to sit on that couch

I'd forgotten that scene. It's been a few years since I've watched that one. You're right of course. Doctor Who has always managed to make its budget go much further than would seem possible. So if its at all possible then Doctor Who will be among the first to do it. Maybe one day I'll get to...

I read The Shining in my 20's and had nightmares for days afterwards. Had to sleep with the light on. Never been game to watch the movie.

It's probably still a bit outside Doctor Who's budget, but as the technology continues to improve and get cheaper maybe instead of a multi-doctor story we might get The Five Masters (plus Missy) :emoji_japanese_goblin:

A lot of his later stuff got a bit preachy. Next was basically a long (fairly incoherent) rant about current trends in gene technology. I mistakenly read State of Fear which turned out to be a climate change denial textbook. I enjoyed The Andromeda Strain, The Great Train Robbery, Airframe...

I have to say I'm not missing the constant "Marvel is for kiddies" "DC sux" on the various Marvel and DC threads. I'm always happy to discuss the relative merits and flaws of the movies or expanded universes but the constant insults to anyone posting a contrary view got old real fast.

They're both very different things. Star Wars is a grand Space Opera / Fantasy. Star Trek (at least at the start) was more hard Science Fiction. Star Wars is much more of an action / space war concept. Star Trek was generally more about finding peaceful solutions to problems than shooting them...

Wasn't that the correct line?

To really identify the distinctiveness of a decade you need at least a couple of decades of hindsight. The 90's as a decade are only now beginning to really come into focus. The 00's will be able to be perceived as more distinct in another 10-20 years. But even now we'll be able to start seeing...

I saw the Australian arena version in the 1990's filled with a cast of rock and pop stars. It was pretty spectacular. Don't think I've ever managed to see a stage version of this.

I must get cracking on reading this book. Got it for my birthday a couple of months ago and have only had time to read the first few chapters so far. Another thing to add to my must watch list as well.

He managed to leave out the scenes of Peeves (played by Rik Mayall) :emoji_disappointed:. Looking back, the first book had a lot of challenges in turning it into a film. The vast majority of the book is world building and set up for future books with only a small amount of real action. There's...

I'm here because I enjoy having conversations about movies and tv shows that I enjoy. It's always interesting to see what other people think, even if they disagree. On many occasions I've been able to re-evaluate my opinion of a show or episode because someone has said something which made me...

Despite the disappointments from DC so far I remain hopeful for all of the ongoing entries. Aquaman has the potential to be like nothing we've seen before, if its done well.

I suspect a five-year-old with ADHD would deliver a far more coherent movie than Snyder. Perhaps DC should investigate this option. Would save them money on directors fees too.

I'd pay money to see that exchange on screen. Might be a little difficult at the moment with Missy.

It's interesting seeing how they develop over the movies. It's hard to predict when casting 11/12yo's how good an actor they will be, and their performances in the first couple of movies are pretty average at times. But they all developed really well and by the final couple of movies had...

It's time for the big budget live action movie remake!

Yeah I thought of that too. You'd think a time machine could be a little more timely with it's warnings. Especially one that's apparently able to archive console rooms that haven't yet been created. Perhaps its time for him to remember a bit of the old Venusian Aikido I also felt the...

See that's now reminded me of Bananaman - one of my favourite superheros growing up. And Danger Mouse was the other.
