Pfffft, that's not Birdman....
Sorry, any excuse
When I was growing up in the '80s, one of my favourite weekly UK comics was one called Buster. In this comic was a shark called Gums who wore false teeth so people would still be scared of him. The strip started off in another comic called Monster Fun in 1976, before that publication merged with Buster.

Uh, I mean...I don't think they handled the idea that the girl was traumatized all that well, but I'm not sure how the idea of the girl receiving medication for a trauma in of by itself is offensive. Medication for mental illness, both short and long term, is a totally legitimate option if the situation calls for it.
I meant 'should not give', I wasn't paying attention and missed a word.
As someone who is currently seeking treatment for mental health problems, I took offence to The Doctor saying the kid doesn't need her medication, they should just listen to her. I understand what they were going for but I don't think it's a great message to give kids about mental health issues because, as you said, medication is a totally legitimate option if the situation calls for it.
I liked the last few episodes but this week was shite. Boring and yet another 'threat that's not really a threat' that we've seen too many times. Also I found the suggestion that you should not give someone with mental health issues medication, quite insulting.
I think Clara looked pretty darn cute in tonight's episode. Just sayin'.
I don't hate Clara, in fact, I actually like her this series. Didn't, so much, in the last one. I don't blame her for reacting the way she has been lately, this Doctor is a bit of a bastard. I love him. Also, Capaldi sneaked a wee Tom Baker impression in during an early scene of The Doctor talking to himself. Despite my non-hating of Clara, I am glad this episode was more Doctor/Capaldi heavy.
What the Frenchman said.
This is horrible news. I don't really know what to say except I hope he is on the road to recovery very soon.
Hugs to all.
Awww, I was going to make a Stonecutters gag but that article beat me to it.
Oddly a clip of A British show is not available to watch in the UK
Spaced is awesome.
The other co-star of that series, Bill Bailey, wasn't in this movie but he was in Hot Fuzz and he also played Simon Pegg's boss at the comic book store in Spaced.
John Pavlich and I recorded a commentary for Hot Fuzz a couple of weeks ago and I excitedly shout 'Bill Bailey' every time he appears. No doubt to the annoyance of John and to listeners.
It had to be done, though. It had to.
Of the original Evil Dead films, Army of Darkness is the one I re-watch the least. And it was the only one I saw at the cinema.
Fun fact from Jimmy B.
Also, Scott Johnson is an extremely busy dude, at least on the internet. Frogpants Studios has something like 6 podcasts, I think, and Johnson is a part of at least 3, if not more of them.
It certainly is more, Scott does 12 podcasts (although a couple are done in 'seasons' and one is occasional) and usually guests on others. Frogpants is also home to more than another dozen hosted by his friends and many have their own sites (Sword & Laser and Coverville for example). He really is a busy guy and he has a nice family too, it's quite sickening
Off my podcast app:
Extended Edition - Um, is Jimmy reading this?
I recently discovered "Film Sack"
Yeah, I've been a fan of podcasts from Frogpants Studios for a while now, Scott Johnson is a really nice dude.
I agree with people's complaints about Deep Breath but I liked Clara in it. That scene with the lead robot dude was great for both actress and character. I wasn't a huge fan of Clara before but that scene gives me hope for her which will no doubt be dashed soon.
Always been a fan of The Rocketeer, good to see it getting some love
The "scene does not contain a lap dance" line has no value whatsoever and can be used in any context.
Yeah, he even says that in The Notebook when Ryan Gosling is topless.
Hell, I forget the specific example, but I saw one video where they called something cool and THAT counted as a sin too.
He has also taken sins off for moments he considers awesome. Usually if he says a moment is cool but counts it as a sin it is because of something else in the scene that is 'wrong'. There is a shot with a mirror in Ghost he considers cool but 'dings' it as you see the crew in the reflection. He also 'dings' a part of Back to the Future which he considers one of his favourite moments in cinema history because it doesn't really make sense. And I agree with him, hell, I voted for Cinema Sins to do BTTF because I like what they do.
Side A thinks side B is reading way too much into some jokes.
Side B thinks Side A is allowing the complete and utter destruction of everything good and noble.
Side C thinks both Side A and Side B should grow up.
Side D is just gonna go laugh at the jokes.
I've very recently joined side D.
Side D sounds good to me!

Okay but misogyny kind of isn't.
Oh for fuck's sake, Doc. You are screaming 'misogyny' based on on two out of context lines I posted. If it was misogynistic do you actually think I'd bloody watch it? If it was misogynistic, do you think Cotterpin would defend them?
Jesus wept, dude.
Well, obviously comedy is subjective.
No, they are running gags. In comedy videos.
So, you haven't actually watched any CinenaSins videos, Doc?
CinemaSins don't do reviews, they do comedy shows based on nitpicking.
'Scene does not contain a lapdance' or 'Hermione is not old enough to be hot in this scene' are not serious movie criticisms.
On the other hand, I liked how this ended the franchise. I don't feel as though they really set up anything in particular save for the credits stinger I didn't see. I'd be happy to just leave it there, I don't really want to see the next installment, I'd rather have another (but good) Wolverine solo film. Although, apparently the next one is still the First class cast and they will deal with Raven from the end of this one so if they are doing a First Class trilogy, they probably should have left this one to last.
I have problems with the film, Kitty's unexplained new powers, new characters we have never seen before get zero back-story and less lines, Wolverine has metal claws when he had bone ones at the end of The Wolverine, Beast is pretty pointless to the story and given his relationship with Raven in First Class doesn't get any time with her etc. It's not a perfect film and I probably didn't love it as much as some (I give it half a star less than, say, Faldor on Letterboxd) and I felt The Winter Soldier was the better film but I had fun. I like it when I have fun with a film, doesn't happen as often any more.
I don't get this place sometimes, man. Here is a big budget blockbuster that the majority of us like so far and yet there are still one or two telling us we are wrong. Usually, it is split evenly or the majority of us dislike the film but I think it's a fricking miracle that there is one that gets us this excited, it is so rare. Why can't we just like the bloody film, why does it always have to be this way every time part of a franchise is released? I'm not saying those who disagree can't have an opinion, of course you can but the use of language against this film is astonishing. Nobody is forcing you to watch the next film, if you want to end the franchise here, then do it, I know I am.
There are so many wonderful strong willed and opinionated people on these forums but let us have one for feck's sake
Nah, I don't hate him, that's far too strong. Hate is reserved for scum of the earth (and Windows 8) not an actor I just happen not to find funny
