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.

They're calling the HBO Voldemort announcement the most anticipated announcement of all time (derogatory).

The Madness of Prince George (2026).

Hugh Laurie is a transphobe. Didn't see that coming but probably should have. Super disappointing.

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

Superman curse strikes again except instead of killing the actors it just kills their good will.

Nicholas Hoult has been cast as Gilderoy Lockhart in Season 2 of the ‘HARRY POTTER’ TV series. (Source: Deadline)

There is so much Jason Statham on ITVX. SO. MUCH. I think I know who my most watched actor of the year will be.

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.

THAT'S the big idea they've got for Star Wars' 50th? At least I hope there's something else down the line (other than the re-release of the real cut of the OG).

Star Wars News Net@starwarsnewsnet.bsky.social · yesterday

Star Wars and Marvel are officially crossing over in a new 5-issue miniseries from Kevin Smith. 'Star Wars/Marvel: Hope Assembles' will launch in January 2027. via @ew.com

The kid in this is playing it like her actual family has all been killed in real life meanwhile Statham is like 😠in the exact same way he goes 😠when there's CGI sharks I love everything this guy makes, they are gold. Modern day Arnie, no contest.

I am currently watching Jason Statham doing a job, it will be absolute trash, I will love it.

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.

New Purge movie where all crime is illegal except when the crime is targeted at Harry Potter adults.

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 2d ago

We should really work together, hand and hand, to focus all of our community’s poorly-suppressed and totally ruthless bullying energy on the single demographic we all agree actually deserves it: Harry Potter Adults in the year of our lord 2026

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?

I genuinely think conventions and being exposed to the fandom is why this is the case. When you meet so many people who love your work, it can definitely influence you. Had Hartnell lived long enough to do conventions he probably would've become much more moderate!

Vic! Perfecto@victorperfecto.bsky.social · 2d ago

Starting to think the only celebs who don't completely suck shit in the UK are Doctor Whos

IS THERE ANYONE COMIC IN BLIGHTY WHO IS NOT A MORON? (answer is Atkinson who probably has chaotic evil politics but is intelligent enough to stay quiet)

Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · 2d ago

My dude, Cunningham said trans girls and trans women are threats to "little girls" in locker rooms. Bummer, Dr. House.

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!

This could very well be the greatest out of context piece of television of all time.

This is NOT happening lol.

Doctor Who Production News@doctorwhopn.bsky.social · 2d ago

Dean Devlin’s company Electric Entertainment is said to be in talks with the BBC about a new Doctor Who series. Either the source of this rumor is very wrong or the BBC is unethically negotiating before even posting the tender. cultbox.co.uk/news/hollywo...

On top of everything else, you should vote Binface because he is so committed to the bit he will turn up to the Count in that costume in this heat.

Count Binface@countbinface.bsky.social · 2d ago

It’s election week! At this important moment I would like to address your entire planet with a message to the people of Earth. And I think I found the perfect place to do it.

If Matt Smith is making that much from House of the Dragon he ain’t ever doing Big Finish 😭😭

I first saw this in film studies at first year college and because we were all 16-17 the college had to write letters to our parents explaining that they were showing the film (rated 18) and could opt out. I mean I get it but also very funny.

Trainspotting was released 30 years ago today 🏃‍♂️💊

"Harry Potter was important to me growing up" so was shitting in your nappies once upon a time, grow up.

"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
