  1. Coming to America vs Captain America: Civil War
  2. They at least put on accents.
  3. Not to mention all the characters of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. After young Peter gets abducted, there should be no English in that film at all, save for the music tracks. There's just no way aliens all speak English. Come to think of it, the Thor movies too.....
  4. It's one of those odd films which is both very dated and yet holds up really well. Can't disagree with any of the above, but the fact there's a Macy Gray concert confirms it was a film shot at the beginning of the century.
  5. 35 already?!? This clearly is the website to hide out from Sandmen - obviously To land has been public enemy no.1 for the past 50 years, but you're on the list, Hemmings!!
  6. Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 55, our subject will be Tom Cruise. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review on Friday 24th August so get your ideas in before then! NB) We will not be covering Interview with a Vampire or Oblivion.
  7. In that I only watched it 1.25 times, the music didn't make a *huge* impression. That being said, I expect that to change on repeat viewings
  8. There was a point in time when Raw only had a World Champion (who was always HHH) and the tag champs. I don't miss those days.
  9. Oh, Depp. As far as I know, they (him + Amber Heard) released a statement denying any physical/emotional harm transpired, and as a fake-lawyer, I have to go with that. But yeah, that guy's hardly a role model.
  10. Help me out here - I thought Connery had retired? Gunn being fired is bullshit and again exposes the myth that the MCU is all about individual directors being encouraged to put their own stamp on the universe. Think Favreau being given 2 years to follow up on a sequel to Iron Man then having the series taken away from him. Think Joss Whedon actively ignoring continuity when writing Age of Ultron. Think Edgar Wright. Think the Thor franchise being turned into a joke with Ragnarok (fight me - I hate that movie). James Gunn made probably the best comic book movie of all time and he's being fired because not all of his tweets are mature or tasteful. Whilst Marvel/Disney aren't going to lose any market share over this, it certainly plays into my "Marvel production line" theory.
  11. And it's being rescreened on IMAX over here to mark the anniversary. Can't deny it, I am tempted.
  12. Yes, you can help influence not only the film Pandy & I use as the joint review, but the homework we assign each other to plot the range of their career. As announced in Episode 54, our subject will be Salma Hayek. Pandy & I will take an executive decision on what makes the joint review on Saturday 21st July so get your ideas in before then!
  13. UPDATE: We're postponing Nintendo Week indefinitely to allow time for more contributions. PM me if you'd like to contribute, and I'll announce when the week is likely to be rescheduled when I get a better idea.
  14. Very much something I'd discuss with my guests (i.e. you and the other guest!) - my initial feeling is that the Sesame Street movies would be out as they aren't "Muppet" movies as such, even though there are very obvious crossovers within the two franchises. "Jim Henson Creature Workshop" films might also have potential.
  15. Did Megan not even like the Channing Tatum dance number? Anyway, I enjoyed it when I saw it in the cinema whereas my date wasn't as keen. Not sure there's anything in there that would specifically appeal down gender lines though.
  16. John Wick vs Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
  17. Ta both! In fairness, most everyone got across their messages on Facebook/Twitter.

    Randomness

    Yeah, that was a pretty brutal read. I've not really bothered with the Nerdist network, but there's no way in hell I'm going to start patronising it now.
