  • @DarthDimi Well as @Denbigh said, I don’t think it can really be empirically proven. Even the good reviews and award noms he’s racked up don’t prove anything. It’s all subjective at the end of the day. It might help that I haven’t seen Twilight, so …
  • Robert Pattinson is a brilliant actor, and I loved Matt Reeves’ Planet of the Apes films. But I have to say I’m a little disappointed by this. I don’t know what I expected to be fair. It looks as good as another Batman film could be. But having s…

  • Yeah what worries me is November might be when we’ll start to have a real second wave. People being indoors more plus people getting ill more. And then obviously in some countries it never seems to have slowed down at all, look at America’s cases. …

  • As someone who gave up after episode one, is the rest of the last series worth watching? I noticed the new Doctor when the actors did that video for the charity lockdown thing the other week, and now I'm curious.
  • Any other UK people on here been watching the Cummings saga unfold? Surely he can't survive this, right? It's not about leave and remain or left and right, it's about right and wrong, trust, honesty, transparency. I think if he gets away with it it …
  • Not sure this has been posted anywhere, but an article from Tanner himself after his sister sadly passed. I think everyone should read this, as the consensus seems to have shifted a bit lately now that people are getting bored. https://www.thegua…

  • I disagree on people being skittish. I think people will be excited to get out again. Plenty getting restless and refusing to follow advice already, look at Primrose Hill today. I think it'll do pretty well. Not Skyfall numbers but it's Craig's l…

  • Mortgage payments suspended too apparently. We're getting there. Be nice if they could do the same for renters. A temporary Universal Basic Income is starting to seem like a must to be honest. Nobody ever asks where the money's coming from if there'…

  • Feeling a bit better about things today. Happy with the £330 billion pledged by the government for businesses. Loans, not grants unfortunately, but giving that much away in grants seems like it'd cause economic damage, they'll have to make it up som…

  • I'm full of confidence for the film itself. Was skeptical through production (still gutted Boyle left) but it all seems to have come together well. The trailers make it look brilliant and the impression I get is that Craig is a perfectionist and wan…
  • Late to the party I know but I quite liked it. Not one of the best but suitably dark and ominous sounding for what'll probably be a dark, emotional film (Bond's last mission etc). The thing that bugs me is some of the lyrics don't feel that fitti…
