Shocked, stunned and frankly appalled to say that the new Jurassic World made me a bit emotional at points.

There’s currently a non-zero chance that Frasier Crane is in the next Avengers movie, who’s to say he’s playing Beast again?

The Prince Charles Cinema and the death of the West End

To quote a film I love, that I would have missed if it weren’t for @princecharlescinema.com showing it on release: “we don’t get a lot of things to really care about”.
So for the sake of this cinema that I and countless others love, I sincerely hope they win out against such unscrupulous landlords.

Really didn’t care all that much for #Nosferatu. Looks fantastic and some of the horror worked (the blood sucking was good and disgusting), but it feels far longer than its 2 hours. Willem Dafoe and Nicholas Hoult innocent.

Mostly enjoyed that there #DoctorWho special. I do feel like the Voyage of the Damned-esque climactic moment nearly capsized the whole endeavour but Moffat et al *just* made it work by episode’s end. Particularly liked what Joel Fry was doing!

Turns out you can eat as much cheese and beige food as you like; if you eat a little satsuma afterward, you’ll feel just fine. #lifeprotip

Trailers are never a solid marker for the quality of a film - take that other Superman film from 2013, for instance - but I can’t help but feel more than a smidge excited for Gunn’s effort off the back of this youtu.be/uhUht6vAsMY?...
