    From Twitter:

    To clarify: any Doctor Who movie would be made by the BBC team, star the current TV Doctor and certainly NOT be a Hollywood reboot.

    Movie thing: David Yates, great director, was speaking off the cuff, on a red carpet. You've seen the rubbish I talk when I'm cornered.

    Translation: Moffat went to BBC and told them he'd quit if they didn't knock off that movie shit

    Moffat shares the same conviction that I do. Glad to hear it!

    The trailer looks awesome. But that immediately makes me suspicious and utterly convinced that the film either be (a) crap or (b) nowhere near as good as the trailer promises.

    And before you take me to task about my pessimism about such things, the last trailer I thought that about was Sucker Punch.

    In regards to Peri and Nicola Bryant's apparently atrocious american accent, there is something I will have to come clean about.

    For the longest time I believed that Nicola Bryant was American. The only time I've ever heard her speak was in Doctor Who, when she had the accent.

    I forget now how I found out that she was in fact British, but it can't be more than a couple of years ago.

    Red Hood and the Outlaws, believe it or not, actually had an awesome moment with Starfire in issue #3.

    The heroes are forced to temporarily hand over their "happiest memories" as collateral to a kung fu monk guru kid in order to get inside a sacred room.

    Wow.

    Despite my better judgement, I really like Justice League. It's the little things that do it for me, like the very brief exchange between Wonder Woman and Superman in #3, as well as Aquaman in the last panel.

    Let me see. A Doctor Who movie being prepped in America? I have horrible visions of a Doctor with a US accent, or a Young Doctor adventure. Or worse yet, a twilighted Doctor.

    No.

    It will only be properly Doctor Who if it has a british cast, a british crew and a british writer. I'm all for a bigger budget or more locations than just in and around Cardiff, but DW has a uniquely british flavor to it. Take that away, and it will not truly be Doctor Who.

    Surely we all remember the Fox TV movie? I forsee a trainwreck.

    Yesterday, I got through watching "The Horns of Nimon" by mocking it on Twitter.

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Alright, it's time to live tweet "The Horns of Nimon." Alternatively: MY TWEEEETS OF CONQUEEEEEEST! #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Ok, I think people have been exaggerating how bad this story is. I mean, how bad can it be with the Enterprise in it? #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    You know what says villain? Lightning bolts taped to helmets and super soakers. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    These guys didn't convey "children traffickers who should die horrible deaths." I figured the cargo was Nimon treats. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    OH CRAP, SOMEBODY BUMPED INTO THE SET! IT'S A SETQUAKE #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Ah. This one has the other K-9. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Eleventh Doctor has to have his fez on top of the TARDIS column. Hats on top of TARDIS columns are cool. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Doctor just gave mouth to mouth resuscitation to K-9. This is something I have just watched. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    These guys apparently shop at the same hat store the Black Guardian does.#TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Ladies and gentlemen, Soldeed has just entered the building. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The TARDIS just collided with the Enterprise. Always remember to put your shields up folks. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    K-9 has a collar. K-9 has a collar. K-9 has a collar. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "What's happening?" A guy with an afro and a very long scarf and a woman dressed to go horseback riding are saying hello. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Apparently K-9 is celebrating the Fourth of July. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Oh my God, Soldeed IS calling the Nimon for nums-nums. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Apparently increased gravity = autotune. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    A bunch of giant space Tribbles were on the Enterprise. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    SURPRISE! The scumbag delivering a cargo of children for sacrifice went back on his word! #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "THE NIMON WAITS FOR NO MAN!" #newlifemotto #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Nimon looks like a bull and a beetle the size of a bull had one too many drinks one night. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Yes! Cower, Doctor! Cower in fear of the orange styrofoam ball! And that's the first episode. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Serious comment: Romana is awesome. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Doctor just pinned a "First Prize" ribbon to K-9. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    TARDIS, you are drunk. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I think the Nimon is dancing. Or doing sign language. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "What does he mean by the great journey of life?" Making it all the way through "The Horns of Nimons." #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Soldeed is amazing. Just amazing. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "Hey Romana. It would really upset my pimp game if you told Teka I'm not a prince, which is pretty obvious." #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The cartoon sound effects when the TARDIS malfunctioned is only surpassed in awful by the Seventh Doctor getting shot. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Soldeed increased the level of amazing during his questioning of the co-pilot. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Nimon turn people into mummies. Eeeeeeeeeeevil! #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    After an impromptu intermission, I'm back to finish "The Horns of Nimon." Probably a good thing considering how much I tweeted.

    @Insp_Spacetime

    To finish episode two: Tom Baker made a lot of bad jokes. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Doctor: doctor of practically everything, including bull fighting. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Also, Romana is going all Pertwee on this serial. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I want to interview the guy who suffered through being in the Nimon suit. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The Doctor used a dog whistle to call K-9. This is also a thing that happened. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I love how the extras hired just to cheer Soldeed obviously don't care at all. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Random trivia: Janet Ellis, who played Teka, went on to be a presenter on Blue Peter. I learned this from a BP doc on the DVD.#TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Random trivia: there isn't a documentary about the making of "The Horns of Nimon" on the DVD. Why should be obvious. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    The sky is turning red. Totally ripped off by DC for Crisis. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I guess Nimons coming from eggs is from the beetle-the-size-of-a-bull side of the family. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "LORD NIMON! LORD NIIIIIIIIMON! IT IS I, SOLDEED!" It's like a lullaby bidding angels to their rest. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Random thought: in another universe, the Nimons are as popular as the Daleks are in this one. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Onto episode four. Honestly, I think this could have been a ten parter like "The War Games." #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Soldeed just sneaks off. And...he laughed maniacally once he escaped. Again, Soldeed is amazing. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Serious comment: it's a shame that Lalla Ward does some of her best work in such an awful story. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "We have not moved." "RAAAAWWWWRRRR!" #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I was going to make a pun, but stopped myself. I didn't want to stoop to the level of humor of this story. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Nimons, you are drunk. Either that, or the people in the suits have no clue where they're going. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    "You meddlesome hussy." "YOU MEDDLESOME HUSSY." Soldeed just said "you meddlesome hussy." #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Soldeed is the Sutekh of awful Doctor Who villains. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    How many Nimons have you seen today?" I can't top this:youtube.com/watch?v=98Mxxp… #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Alright everybody, say it with me: "MY DREEEEEEEAMS OF CONQUEEEEEEST!" #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Now that it's confirmed he was killed, Soldeed setting the place to explode with his dying breath, laughing, was fantastic. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    I think the ending of the episode was directed by a young Michael Bay. SLOM-MO EXPLOSIONS! #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    And there goes the Enterprise. And Romana gets to make a funny face. And it's over. #TweetsofNimon

    @Insp_Spacetime

    Outside of Romana being awesome and Soldeed being amazingly awful, that was the worst Doctor Who story I've ever seen. #TweetsofNimon

    Y'know, I really need to watch 'Horns of Nimon'. It sounds bad enough to be awesome. And of course to see and hear "Lord Niiiiiimon! It is I, Soldeed!" at least once in my life...
