Something is very wrong with the spiders of Sheffield. The Doctor and friends investigate.

Here's an idea how to make the DCU Joker different to previous versions - There isn't one. Not in a "don't use him" way, obviously you need the Joker. "The Joker" is a collective identity used by a group of criminals who control Gotham's crime rings. How's that for a risky change? But it'll work.

Gyllenhaal's Mysterio is one of my favourite interpretations of a goofy comic villain. Updating the magician and illusions stuff into modern day technology, fake news and using a whole team to create "Mysterio" out of ego and vanity. Genius update.

Rewatching the MCU Spidey movies before I finally watch BND this weekend and they're really damn fun when you don't have people whispering in your ear that they suck. Especially Homecoming which is a blast.

The funny/depressing thing about these HP announcements is they usually aren't even good casting choices especially compared to the films, because the IP wasn't toxic and you could get perfectly cast roles vs now where it's only people who don't give AF grabbing whatever role they are offered

I'm not a romcom fan but I absolutely love Doctor Who's attempts at the genre, namely Husbands of River Song and to a lesser extent Eve of the Daleks which you can also say is one. They are peak entertainment, lazy afternoon Who that expertly use the trappings of a genre I'm unfamiliar with.

At least two actors on this list have now died since I made it, and one (Kenton Moore) had already died. I'M SO SORRY I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FUN THREAD I'M NOT OUT TO GET NONEGARIAN DOCTOR WHO ACTORS. Hey maybe The Orange One can appear in his own era, qualify for the list by default, and then -

THREAD - Thanks to TARDIS Wiki, here are the oldest living cast members from every Doctor's era in Doctor Who - First Doctor - Steven Machin. Played the cameraman in Feast of Steven. As there is no footage, I can't a photo of him, all we know is he is still alive. Fifth oldest Whoniverse actor.

Favorite film for each year of the ‘70s: 1970: The Bird With The Crystal Plumage 1971: Godzilla Vs Hedorah 1972: Cabaret 1973: The Exorcist 1974: Phantom of the Paradise 1975: Deep Red 1976: Taxi Driver/Carrie (tie) 1977: Close Encounters 1978: Watership Down 1979: Being There

It's nice that celebrities involved in current Harry Potter content are being challenged on it directly, now PLEASE can we also ask people about a certain 2009 petition? IDC if it's "old news", I need some fucking clarification. We shouldn't hold back in interviews anymore.

Dobby is Toby Jones' maybe fifth or sixth most famous character and I'm sure he's glad that barely anyone remembers it's him doing the voice. Guy's career is big enough he never has to endure the "Harry Potter actor" label in headlines.

Just read a theory that Tennant IS returning but for the Cbeebies show. Which would make sense and explain why the story’s been mutilated into “ZOMG HE RETURNS AGAIN”. Tennant returning on TV wasn’t even the BBC’s idea.

Yes Doctor Who Youtube clickbaiters, make giant all caps clickbait videos about something that isn't even happening (the tender process is for British companies only so that American company is off-limits), that'll make your reputation improve and not just make you seem desperate for views.

If the MCU X-Men is following the comic book timeline and Rogue starts off as a villain, I really hope they don't quietly write out Captain Marvel by having Rogue take her powers and that's how they get the grifters back (which they won't do). I'm slightly concerned they will?

Doctor Who doesn't and shouldn't need a reboot, but I'd like to see some official Elseworlds/alternate timeline stories during the gap so writers can explore out there ideas. Do a Dark Knight Returns-esque Doctor. I'd watch/read that!

"You can't offend anyone now" says the guy whose ex-comedy partner appeared in the movie about some kid and his imaginary friend Adolf Hitler. Which didn't win any major awards of course, because everything's so woke now.

We need to have to have a reckoning with the fact that our media class is mostly just dull as fuck driving gloves Tory 65 year olds who think behaving like an insufferable cunt is cool and funny
