I kinda did this quickly, instinctively, but on reflection I think I'd swap Halo 3 for Fable II.

Apart from Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. But the rest of them, sure.

Is that Ray Liotta laughing?

My favourite, however, is Miles, because my favourite is always Miles.

Arnold Schwarzenegger And Christopher McQuarrie Set For King Conan Movie Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to star in King Conan, a Conan The Barbarian sequel movie from Mission: Impossible director Christopher McQuarrie. Read more.

I've come round to the (healthy, IMO) view that we should learn to let the things we love die rather than constantly reboot and resurrect them, but all the same I'm incredibly excited for Arnold to make another Conan.

Screenshot of an episode of The Simpsons. In a parody of Howard Hughes, Mr Burns has grown paranoid and dishevelled, with long hair, beard, and nails. He's holding a model of an aeroplane. Smithers is with him, dressed in surgical attire including hair covering and facemask. Burns is pointing a gun at Smithers, because he is ordering him to "hop in" to the model plane.

Last year I got really into watching old computer announcements/interviews - sort of retro comfort food I guess - and I was dismayed but also not really surprised to see Bill Gates referring to them as "applications" even in the Windows 3 era.

Clearly ahead of his time, that lad.

We need to sit them down in front a copy of RoboCop 3.

Also Daredevil. I can't believe how old I was before I realised "The Foot" was a parody of "The Hand".

Quite a few that we used to show on CITV that I reckon hardly anyone round here has heard of...

Poster for Skyland. Slightly anime-style figures of a teenage boy and younger girl stand next to each other. They're wearing quite heavy duty red and white clothes that give them a futuristic look.

Oh, I've just thought of another. This was clearly aiming for Avatar (as in Aang) by way of Star Wars, and was one of the first shows I saw to have really good cel-shaded animation. Unfortunately it bombed on CITV, probably because we weren't geared up to do a serial narrative justice.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Well, I just bought my tickets for #TFNation. Just Saturday & Sunday for now but I'll make a decision about the evening shenanigans at some point soon.

Looking forward to seeing all you nerds there πŸ˜‰

I'm gonna be honest, as much as I don't want Whedon involved, Baldwin is already worse.

I will actively be cheering AGAINST any Firefly anything that includes Adam Baldwin.

I'm just angry we got whatever the fuck this is before a Don Cheadle MCU movie.

I mean, I like all the MCU movies, but Iron Man 3 is probably the best.

I absolutely adored Firefly back in the day but no good can come of a reboot.

Even if there weren't seriously problematic people involved, its time came and went. It sucks that it was cancelled too early but bringing it back now won't give us extra seasons in 2003.

We need to learn to let go.

Kids should only be allowed to dress up as characters from UK/Irish authors, and then in April only as characters from the rest of the world.
