@steevbishop One can't deny Schumacher's achievements, but I've always found him to have far too smackable a face for me to enjoy him… in reply to steevbishop #
@Sulman I remember the peculiarity of King Kong being that parts of it seemed almost too short. Fewer dinosaurs, less mugging, more KongNY! in reply to Sulman #
Oh, happy birthday, @thatswedishgirl! #
Oh blimey, Greg Rucka at Twitter? For reals?: @ruckawriter #
@steevbishop Heh… well, I guess it'd be boring if we weren't all a bit different! in reply to steevbishop #
@Wossy Oh god, how depressing. Lost dog flyers when walking ours are the saddest thing in the world. Hope @Flamuna finds Wallington. in reply to Wossy #
@steevbishop Agreed, kind of. It's not a regular viewer, for sure. Remember when standard movie length was around an hour twenty minutes? in reply to steevbishop #
Hi, @ruckawriter! #
This is a bit of a non-story, & I think the Guardian has it the wrong way round: Sharks behave like serial killers – http://is.gd/194QT #
… Surely the sharks have been doing it for quite some time longer than humans have? #
Nice weekends are a bit rubbish, because they make work that little bit harder to bear on Monday… #
@james__buckley Just watched last episode of 1st series Inbetweeners…your stuff in particular is bloody awesome. A belated well done, sir! in reply to james__buckley #
@idsharman Nice! in reply to idsharman #
@idsharman Ah… didn't think that one through… possible an image with so much black negative space on that particular site wasn't smart! in reply to idsharman #
@jamiesmart I take it there WAS actual pain, & you aren't just taking them in the spirit of adventure? in reply to jamiesmart #
@RedMummy Can you do ours, too? The dog may snarl at you – in Dalmatian terms, that means she's happy to see you… in reply to RedMummy #
@bremxjones Cary Nord? Oh, NICE. Been fond of him since Daredevil. He's an artist, like Cully Hamner, who only sometimes gets their due. in reply to bremxjones #
@idsharman I did wonder if it was a little conceited of me to bandy around my own drawings like that. But they do look the part, I guess…! in reply to idsharman #
@mrtonylee @georgelondon has been extolling the virtues of Eli Stone for many months… So I should be paying attention, huh? in reply to mrtonylee #
@RedMummy Ah. Suspect that by 2026, issue of dog may be redundant. Going to go off and start crying, now… in reply to RedMummy #
Ah balls… I can't believe the "Curious Case Of Forrest Gump" trailer got taken off YouTube. STUPID MOVIE COMPANY! #
@RedMummy Well, at some point we do intend to take the dog out to the New Forest for an epic walk again… in reply to RedMummy #
@jamiesmart Ow! I really do need to think about dentist soon. You know that feeling where you can feel your teeth deteriorating day by day? in reply to jamiesmart #
Oh dear god this is easily the most scary thing I've seen in years: http://is.gd/197O1 – Remco's Baby Laughalot! (Via @andydiggle) #
@Groonk Is it old…? It has given me the wiggins… in reply to Groonk #
@GlossalTwinster This is going to be a problem with the amount of followers you've got. Law of averages dictates there's be meanness… in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster … "there will", not "there's". Sorry! in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster I suppose it'd be easier to block the people who do? #
@GlossalTwinster Well, eventually you'll get to a point where you can direct your defiant streak at that stuff, I'm guessing. Fuck 'em… in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster … or, you know, if at some point you start hearing the same things over & over from people you respect, start to listen. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster (I chose not to do so much of that second one, but then, I'm a desperately unhappy individual… ) in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster A, but I don't think enough of people. Me in charge would be a terrible thing for the middle class. & the upper class… in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@GlossalTwinster … & the Lower class. in reply to GlossalTwinster #
@Emmavieceli Well… LOT of people are obsessed with a man who may or may not have lived & died over 2,000 years ago, so I'd say you're ok. in reply to Emmavieceli #
http://is.gd/19apd – Mike Huckabee scares me a bit. But these 2 rappers are really good.</pained irony> #
@caitlinmoran Ah, but not in Japan. Over there, it is as nothing to have a title repeated over several properties… in reply to caitlinmoran #
Besides which, the actual Japanese title of Mork & Mindy was "Happy Time Alien Mork", Metal Mickey was "Super Robot Crazy Mickey"… #
@caitlinmoran … & as I recall, they just broadcast Alf as "Alf". But they broadcast it with no sound except for Alf's voice. in reply to caitlinmoran #
@caitlinmoran … It made for pretty surreal viewing. in reply to caitlinmoran #
@rhodri Heh. Guessing he probably had a worse day than she did, n'all. This country does better mob-mentality than Springfield… in reply to rhodri #
@caitlinmoran On the tiny Greek island of Engadalavo, thanks to poor TV reception in the 80s, Alf is worshipped as a saint. Saint Alf. in reply to caitlinmoran #
@richjohnston Oh sweet… I have never noticed Amazon gold-box deals… are there plans for a UK equivalent? in reply to richjohnston #
Hmm… The Road & Let The Right One In, both only £2.99 each, at the mo. That's not right, is it? Bit skint, but do I need to order now? #
@marcellerby Hah! That IS cute… Girls are funny… in reply to marcellerby #
@nixsight That actually WASN'T a new blog post… it was scheduled from last night. It is a VERY late post about the Star Trek movie… in reply to nixsight #
… Heh. I TOTALLY just created & used the tag "John Cho motherfuckers" for the first time ever… #
@davidbaillie It's LOVELY. in reply to davidbaillie #
Tongue Of The Dead, by the inimitable @davidbaillie, serialised here & onwards: http://is.gd/19gwv #
I like John Hodgman – http://is.gd/19hg7 – he's arch rather than confrontational… It's nice. #
Rebecca Front is great, so it'll be good to see her in The Thick Of It… #
… Still, though, the likelihood that Langham's career is done makes me sad. #
@davidbaillie Oooh… sounds interesting… in reply to davidbaillie #
@RedMummy Good lad…! in reply to RedMummy #
@Sulman @steevbishop Thing about DK, you can very clearly spot the point at which it goes from being good fun to being obverblown silliness. in reply to Sulman #
@Sulman @steevbishop The main similarities are the length & the self-indulgence, I think. I can see where you're coming from… in reply to Sulman #
… To be honest, if there was a reason I wouldn't watch King Kong again, it's that it's just so damn sad… #
… Andy Serkis annoys me in interviews, but fair play to him, his puppetry is excellent. #
@rainnwilson I don't know, but watching your tweets with interest. If it turns out that they are, I have to reverse some life decisions… in reply to rainnwilson #
… And knowing that (Spoiler Warning) Kong is going to die at the end only makes it worse… #
@douglasnoble Heh. in reply to douglasnoble #
@steevbishop The oddest thing about PJ's KK is that in some scenes it's laconic, but in others it's too spare. Very unnerving… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop … I think I said the 1st time I saw it that I could see why PJ fell in love with some shots, but he should have killed them. in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …As lovingly put together as the action set-pieces with TRex & stampedes are, they are TOO DAMN LONG. Relentless is the word. in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop …A few moments too long on the screaming natives, too much writhing with the bugs, twice as much time on the ice with Kong… in reply to steevbishop #
@steevbishop … Those are all charming scenes, but PJ should have been harder on himself. in reply to steevbishop #
@douglasnoble I don't think I have EVER seen that one. Is it a sequel to the first talkie version? in reply to douglasnoble #
@andydiggle I'm… uh. Was the plan to be in the back garden? Cos I'm here in @ruckawriter's crawlspace… feeling stupid, now. in reply to andydiggle #
