Dear Hollywood, please learn to write your own shiat instead of stealing ideas from other people. Ok, thanks.

PS, Did we really need Volcano and Dante's Peak?

This tweet from Moffat is awesome:

"Announcing my personal moonshot, starting from scratch. No money, no plan, no help from NASA. But I know where the moon is - I've seen it."

How many Brits does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None, their stupid ugly broken teeth always break the bulbs!

None. Too busy carrying parcels from the carboot to the lift up to their flats.

There already was a Doctor Who movie, it starred Sylvester McCoy getting shot by a Chinatown gang Banger in San Franscisco and turning into Paul McGann.

It sucked.

/originally it was going to be Jim Carrey

Equilibrist: Just so long as there's Teela in the movie. Link (new window, NSFW; if you live in Utah)

Oops, sorry, wrong trope. Who was that chick in the fur bikini? From the Tom Baker era.

Leela of the Severteen, and it was a LEATHER bikini.

A bit plain in the face, a surprising amount of mascara for a stone-age savage, and GREAT legs.

She was awesome, her natural response to anything was to pull a knife on it. Check out the same actress as a sort of proto-Scully in "Omega Factor", a briefly aired late-70's British paranormal drama...

No, in the very first episode in which she appeared, I believe she used a crossbow, a poisoned needle, her bare hands (and booted feet), and a ray gun.

The knife is her fall-back weapon when nothing else is handy.

"The director of the previous four Harry Potter movies..."

Sounds about right. Dr. Who has become farking Harry Butthole Potter.

Watched the Tom Baker episode "The Leisure Hive" TWICE yesterday (not in a row) because it still holds up very well despite being aired in 1980.

Can't hardly make it through any of the new episodes. There's really not enough time to have a proper story in 45 min. So the new episodes are just the Doctor running around with his magic wand spouting off technobabble, and "timey wimey" crap dialogue.

Plus there's the whole gayification of Dr. Who that is really gay.

I take issue with the Venn diagram in TFA:



Alongside the Tardis should be:

Yes it did. Hard. But I liked Paul McGann as the Doctor.

FirstNationalBastard: Equilibrist: Thank you so much, collective memory of FARK. Leela, leather bikini. Thank you so much for refreshing 30 year old memories. BRB.

/Redheads and robot dogs. Baker 1 may not be my favorite Doctor, but he had the best companions.

Mmmm. Perky young Sarah Jane, hot and dangerous Leela, gorgeous Romana I, utterly cute Romana II, nerdlicious young Nyssa and curvy, feisty Tegan. Not a bad one in the bunch. And there were two K9's, Harry Sullivan for comic relief and a delusional Swampie with a thing for numbers.

I should, for the sake of my geek cred, point out that Leela didn't wear a bikini, it was a leather leotard which was replaced by a chamois dress and the occasional local costume. Also her tribe was the Sevateem, since they were descended from a planetary survey team. Sorry. Had to be done.

Before they leave the TARDIS, I'd like to see Amy and Rory, in quest of new role-playing opportunities, raid the TARDIS wardrobe and after, say, a rather unexpected bit of turbulence, come running into the console room with Rory dressed in Jamie's Highlander kit and Amy wearing Leela's original leathers.

At the risk of feeding the troll, you don't win five of the last six Hugos in your category by making gay Harry Potter ripoffs with crappy technobabble dialogue.

If I choose to believe that outfit was a leather corset and bikini, then you leave me the hell alone, heretic!

Harry Potter won 6 Hugos too? They're right above, in the long form list and one in the list before that. Looks like the only Harry Potter not to win a Hugo so far is the newest one. Yea, I was trolling there, but still.

I was making a very bad joke on your use of the word "pasty." Personally, I prefer the Pasties my mom made (yep, we're from Michigan). And, the one time I had a real, British pork pie, I was appalled. I grew up eating pork pie at Christmas, and that British dish of gristle and fat tasted nothing like my grandma's pork pie. Turns out our family pork pie isn't British, it's French Canadian.
