For me, it's Olivia Colman. She's been in the odd stinker, but every time I see her in something, or I know she's starring in it, I am just absolutely and instantly delighted to see or hear her. She just has a presence about her. Even in some really dark/depressing movies like Tyrannosaur she's just the best part of that movie.

So who is this for you? Good or bad, who do you just delight in watching?

I was lukewarm on the last series, but really loved Ncuti Gatwa's Doctor, but the shocking regeneration that seemingly gave us Rose as The Doctor really was a "oh shit" kind of twist. That being said, with everything that's happened since, do you think that whoever does pick the show up again, will they continue from that story thread, or do you think it'll be a Paul McGann situation all over again? A one and done and maybe will get officially brought back into the canon later down the line?

Title says it all. I'm in a wheelchair and have a carer ticket too so I can book the recliner as I like to transfer into that while in the cinema rather than stay in my chair (that in itself is a fucking joke imo, but it's a good workaround), but about 3 months ago I stopped being able to use my CEA card on the app.

The initial reason was that it's a "glitch" but I complained anyway and it took them A WHOLE MONTH to even reply to my complaint to merely reiterate "it's a glitch bro, we're working on it". Needless to say, this glitch has still not been fixed. Booking through the app was ideal as I could add the tickets to my Apple Wallet which was easy for those at the cinema to scan, but the fact I'm still not able to book it on the app is a fucking joke.

He might not necessarily be a main character, but I always enjoyed him on screen. He's the non-psychotic angry voice of reason who sometimes isn't afraid to call out the insanity (even if he still unflinchingly follows orders he doesn't agree with). Him being back, and still being played by Packy Lee will be an utter delight.

First off, I LOVED the original Moana, and although it wasn't as great as the first, Moana 2 still has its really good points, but my God, the live action remake was just shockingly bad in every single way.

I know Disney is not short of terrible live-action adaptations, but one thing I will say in their defence is that for the most part, they still try to inject some new things into the adaptations (maybe the odd new song, a new story beat or something along those lines). They may not always work, but they're an effort to update the original for a modern audience.

Perhaps that's why Moana didn't really work where the others managed in their own respective ways. The original cartoons were often made decades before the live action adaptations and to a certain degree existed in a different cultural setting.

The kids that had the originals were grown adults who were likely to bring their own kids to watch the remakes to try and get the same enjoyment from these stories they once did. But... what was there to consider updating or adding to Moana that wasn't already there?

It was still culturally respectful, all its songs were still bangers, and the original wasn't made really that long ago to allow a new generation of adults/kids to come to be to try and experience this story completely anew. Was it really, as some have suggested, just a way for Dwayne Johnson to try and stroke his own ego?

It seems like with every “upgrade” Grok is actually made significantly worse. I genuinely can’t believe how bad 2.0 is even compared to 1.0. Characters are easily morphed, background details basic to non-existent, it’s just fucking dreadful through and through.

The man is just an absolute joy to watch and his accent is absolute perfection. Every scene he's in he just chews up and I love it.

This isn’t just a Duo problem (I know it has a couple) but still runs short as I was interested in having a go at learning Yoruba on Duo, and have looked at a few other apps and it’s not on those either, but why do y’all think this is?

I do understand that a lot of African nations (due to the history of colonialism) tend to have other European languages as either their first or second languages (Portuguese in Angola, French in the Congo, English in Ghana), but these nations also have prominent native languages that are still spoken by their populations.

Language learning isn’t just a tool for when you go on holiday, they’re tools to help you understand cultures, religions etc. And it’s a shame that, on the main, Africa as a continent is virtually ignored in this regard.

I've been subscribed to Duolingo for a few years to help me learn French and while I enjoy using it and have certainly picked up stuff along the way I've always kind of struggled with things like recall of more complex words, understanding grammar and even comprehending more natural french speaking.

So I recently tried Pingo for this (which has helped a bit more with my pronunciation and understanding more natural conversations), but obviously Pingo uses the AI of things like ChatGPT etc. to run, and I just decided to start setting up a course through ChatGPT to see how effective that can be in terms of helping me learn better, and I was curious if anyone else has done this?

What were your experiences? Do you find it to be better or worse than some of the more dedicated apps?

I'm talking really sinister villains, like Philip Seymour Hoffman in MI3, Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs level of villain, but just who played it so well, so savagely, that any time you see them in something else, you struggle to separate them from that villainous role they played before.

For me personally, Percy Wetmore who played Dutch in Green Mile. Every time I see his face I just want to kill him. I know these feelings to be irrational, but my god, I despised that character, and I just can't separate the two completely.

I'm slowly coming out of a mega depressive cycle, but I'm still kinda low and as is my way, I tend to dwell on stuff said in passing by my parents that just really bugs me. One thing that keeps coming up in my head and I keep noticing in the way my Mum & Dad interact with me is that that actually know nothing about me.

One of my main interests as sort of a hobby has been history. This is something I've been fascinated by since I was a kid. I've had books, watched documentaries, movies etc. all leaning toward historical subjects. The worst thing is, I have talked to my parents about these things before.

Like often. Not just once or twice, but the subject comes up. When I've spoken about places I'd love to visit; Florence, Italy because I'm interested in the renaissance era, France because I'm interested in the Revolution, that kind of thing, but they never seem to retain any of it.

It's not like I'm NOT close to my parents, but any time subjects relating to things I enjoy or find interesting, there is always a reaction of surprise as if it's something they are learning for the first time, which just leads me to conclude that mo matter how much I tell them about me, they never actually take any of it in!

I'm not even talking about a generally serious movie that has the traditionally comic actor do mostly comedy with a bit of serious at certain points, I'm talking a movie and a role that was a wholly serious one that would be seen as the antithesis of what that actor is typically known for. Think Jim Carrey in The Number 23.

Perhaps a controversial one as he's had quite a few great serious roles when he was with us, but my personal favourite would be Robin Williams in One Hour Photo. He is just so believable as the lonely and pathetic Sy Parish, and despite what you're led to believe as his sinister intentions, you actually come to feel really sorry for the main character, and that I think could only have been achieved by an actor of Williams' calibre.

I mainly use it to assist me in more technical questions relating to my job, so basically as a more advanced Google, but what do you guys use it for on a regular/daily basis?

With the BBC's relationship with Disney, and the numerous unending comic book crossovers that the Doctor has had, what do you think would make the most fun on-screen crossover, whether in Doctor Who itself, or having The Doctor appear in an episode/movie unexpectedly?

I think it would be a hell of a lot of fun to have The Doctor randomly show up on a version of The Enterprise and help the crew overcome some Timey Wimey conundrum.

While unlikely, a guy can dream, can't he?

You're either too horny and fantasising about stuff you shouldn't (Trump's butt), bragging about sexual experiences you clearly didn't have and just made up in your head, will full on talk about having gay sex then still insist you're "straight".... my list could go on a while.

Get help, bros. It might just be the best thing you ever did.

I anticipate that about half-way through the movie, once Spidey starts experiencing his changes and getting to grips with them, he will hear about an attack on the prison where Matt is being held.

With Matt's identity known, he's vulnerable, especially in a prison setting, and The Hand view this as the perfect time for them to take him down. They break into the prison, but do not anticipate Spidey's involvement. There is serious and classic Marvel misdirection here in the promotion and trailers.

I believe Charlie has emphatically said he's not in BND (but we know from past experience that Marvel encourages actors who are making surprises in the movies to basically lie about their appearance).

He won't play a big part, it will quite literally be an appearance for this particular scene, and maybe a cool little one liner where Pete says he thinks Matt's "a really good lawyer, and an even better hero".

I know we have had plot "leaks" but let's be real, these are unreliable a lot of the time, so I believe that Matt is well and truly in Spidey as part of the prison fight scene, and has been edited out of the trailers.

So I'm doing a watch-through of the main show for the first time and I'm wondering if I've missed something. >!At the end of season 2, Kanan is "killed" by Ghost and very much believed to be dead by all those who knew him, yet nobody involved with the season 2 plot seems to be really surprised that he's back? Like, he's just been left stabbed in a burning building, yet neither Tasha, Tommy, or Ghost seem overly surprised that he survived.!<

Like, did I miss an episode, because if someone I >!killed, suddenly shows back up in my life, I'd be pretty fucking surprised and shaken, yet none of them seem anywhere really shocked to see him again. Ghost has a slight look of surprise when Kanan first gets hold of him again, but that seems more of a "this guy trying shit in public" reaction than a "how the fuck is this guy I stabbed and set on fire still alive?"!<
