"Ooh! It damn well hurts!" "Certainly it hurts." "Well, what's the trick, then?" "The 'trick', William Potter, is not minding that it hurts."

No flying cow, no sale.

There are no scores that I wish that JW had not done, but there are plenty of films out there that did not deserve as good a JW score as they got.

The ponytail will forever be quintessential Jerry. The ponytail is to Jerry, what the turtleneck is to JW. It's not really him, without it.

That's the thing, dude; I don't like POTA (2001), I never have, and I probably never will. I do, however, appreciate aspects of the film.

It has a lot of get up and go.

See? See? Right there ^ | That's how to defend a film.

Oh, come on! I did it, last week

"grounded". A film about a box that, when opened, melts faces

"You have the manersh of a goat, and you shmell like a dungheap, and you've no idea of your potenshall. Now... get out!"

Fuck the internet era. I don't give a single goddamn about all those faceless troll cowards, who hide behind their anonymity, taking pot-shots at well-loved pieces of entertainment, simply because they upset whatever group's gossamer sensitivities these people have aligned themselves with, this week. Screw the lot of them. They have no idea of history, message, or context. They are ignorance, prejudice, and herd mentality personified.

Good question! As soon as a woman was announced, the audience had to alter its perceptions and expectations, and adjust to a Doctor who would not act the way that a man would act. Also, the production team needed to write differently for a female Doctor. The emphasis changed, dramatically, when Whittaker took over, to the detriment of the show. I've said it before and I'll say it again: that Chibnall's tenure turned out to be so monumentally awful, had absolutely nothing to do with her. Given the right script, she can be a great actor, but she was hamstrung time and time again, by poor scripts, and lacklustre and unimaginative direction, and in the end, audiences gave up. It's an established fact that 'The Legend Of The Sea Devils' is the lowest-watched DW story in its entire 60 year history - and for a damn good reason! It's clear that Chibnall wanted to do something radical with DW, and to say something unique, but he had no idea how to do it, and he had no idea how to say it.

I kind of agree here. Any film with Paul Giamatti, David Warner, Tim Roth, Helena Bonham Carter, Erik Avari, Linda Harrison, and Michael Clarke Duncan (not to mention Chuck Heston himself), can't be all bad. It's beautifully shot by Philip Rousselot. How Wahlberg ever got to be a leading man in anything is quite beyond me.

At no point does @filmmusic say that JAWS 2 is a better film than JAWS. Filmmusic merely says that Filmmusic prefers it to JAWS.
