Jerusalem posted:The Mind's Eye is a perfectly acceptable, standard story that has been done before and since and not just in Doctor Who. It plays things a little safe, especially considering the boundless possibilities of the dreamworld scenario it plays with, but while this means it never really rises above itself, it also never pratfalls or does something spectacularly stupid. I prefer audios that at least try, and this isn't one of those, but I can't say I particularly have anything against it either. Easily forgettable, but solidly put together and not at all a waste of time to listen to. They keep doing the three + one thing, but after Mission, there's more of an effort to tie the short one into the main story, with mixed results. The best one I've heard yet is Keepsake, which grabbed me much more than the main story, Kingdom of Silver, and was the final straw to make me care about the drat Totally-Not-Blade-Runner Orion War stuff. drat you, Briggs, you finally got me invested  quote:Ghostbusters stuff qntm posted:So, how many people in the world are there who have genuinely seen all of Doctor Who?

For the sake of your own sanity, please don't try to watch every episode of Doctor Who. It's hard enough sitting through some of the lovely episodes on their own.

Mugabe, Philip Morris in the secret vault where he has them but won't show them just to spite Ian Levine, the people living here who are from Omnicron Persei 8... there are quite a few, really. edit: and I watched all the episodes, although I came back to watch any serials with repros in them at the end. I'm going to very slowly go through them on DVD, which has been fun. I like the audio commentaries, because you can learn things like that they asked them to cast hairy extras for the cave men so that they could save money on hair make up.

Yeah, if you count reconstructions then I've "seen" all of them, and I regret nothing (well maybe The Space Pirates) because more Who is always worthwhile. Thank you, 1960s tape-recorder goons

Like, I'm staring at a picture of one of the Dalek operators right now, who looks like the insurance salesman from from Groundhog Day, and laughing, and I don't care how much of the show is stupid, I do not regret watching and watching it.

Hot Fuzz is mediocre, Spaced is better than any of the Cornetto films. By a long, long, way.

I've only seen Shaun of the Dead, and even that only recently, but it was one of the most solid comedy movies I've seen. I never really managed to watch Ghostbusters. As a kid I grew up with far more 'obvious' comedies (I don't think Ghostbusters is exactly subtle, but I was coming from a history of stand-up, Whose Line is it Anyway and Airplane), so I just didn't get that what I was watching was meant to be funny. I've never had the chance to go back to it either.

Spaced is really cool and good, agreed. I'm another who hasn't seen Worlds End, since you never hear people talk about it I'm assuming it isn't as good as the other two Cornetto movies.

World's End is what happens if you replace the Doctor with a couple of belligerent drunks. It also felt the most overtly "political" of the three films, though that's not say the other two didn't have plenty of social commentary, just that it wasn't as buried under the genre trappings.

The World’s End is probably the best “movie” out of the three in terms of production and directing. Shaun of the Dead is probably the most “memorable” of the three because zombies were so huge in pop culture at the time and it was incredibly unique. Hot Fuzz is easily the best and funniest of them three.

Reading through the Toxx/Occ thread is amazing. I've found myself rewatching a few episodes as he's reviewed them, and appreciating them all over again. Just rewatched Vampires of Venice and I've found I enjoyed it a hell of a lot more than I did on broadcast. It's a genuinely good episodes. 5 Rorys out of 5.

I've never seen Spaced, or any of the Cornetto movies, but Ghostbusters is a perfect movie so obviously it's better than any of them.

The Doctor based collections sound good. Easier to skip the fifth and go straight for Six and Seventh doctor stuff.

Ghostbusters is good and fills me with warm feelings of nostalgia, but it isn't perfect. Winston isn't much of a character (supposedly all his good lines got stolen by the other guys), and all the EPA as the bad guys stuff is pretty dubious.

I think he mentioned in the bonus features for the DVD or Blu-Ray release that (unsurprisingly) people always come up to him in the street and address him as "Dickless."
