Our letters page is back!
Are we doing a podcast?
Are we mean to X-Men Origins: Wolverine?
The answers lie right here…
Ah, youve been busy.
As such, this is our longest letters page yet.
So, here goes: … but what I really wanted to do was ask you a few questions.
Why all the love forHeat?
Why all the love forBlade Runner?
Being honest, when was the last time that an episode ofDoctor Whoreally blew you away?
To be honest,Blinkwas the last one that I watched and thought That was amazingly well done.
Since then, even the big set piece episodes have been good, but not spectacular.
Any come to mind for you?
Ive seenIron Man1 & 2,Captain America1,Thor1 andAvengers Assemble.
Thanks for ploughing through all that, Stuart
1 and 2.
As a result, its inevitable that the impact they had on release has diminished a bit.
What remains, however, is their cultural legacy.
Like all pop culture, theyre sure to be rewatched and reassessed for years to come.
Simon writes:For me, probablyDay Of The Doctor.
Simon writes:Ah, a fair few examples, particularly of the former.
If we were in the pub, Id go through them.
The internets got enough narking though for me to add some more here!
Finally: Simon writes:In the order they were released makes the most sense.
So:The Incredible Hulk,Iron Man 3,Thor 2,Captain America 2andGuardians Of The Galaxy.
What do the team at Den Of Geek think?
The trailer seems genuine but the idea of raising money seems unrealistic could it get BBC copyright?
Wouldnt it undermine lots of Who history?
DWM and official sites never mention it so I wondered if you knew any more?
Best wishes,Karl Machin.
Simon writes:In all honesty, your letter was the first time Id come across it.
Oops I did it anyway [er, so did we.
This question has two parts:
a) Has Den Of Geek contemplated the idea of starting a podcast?
I probably already know the answer; Yes you have contemplated it.
Can you divulge whether this could be something on the horizon or whether you had ruled it out completely?
I would certainly back and listen to The DoG-Cast.
b) If categorically NO!
Could you recommend any under the radar British podcasts that discuss film/TV and geek culture?
The reason I state British is there are plenty of decent US ones but struggle to find any homegrown.
Many thanks
Gaz
Simon writes:This answer has two parts:
a) Yes.
We even recorded one once, but werent happy with it.
The former is winning.
Some movies get better with age, some get worse.
For me, it got better.
And since then Ive watched it x number of times and still enjoy it wish it was in 3D!
Its cliche-central but its a comic-book movie, and its fun so why be overly harsh to it?
And whilst I likedThe Wolverineas well, I didnt think it was as good.
Anyway, I just wanted to get that all written down!
I love the site and read your articles everyday keep doing what you do!
Luv and respect,
Andy Pancheri
Simon writes:A really interesting letter.
Now I have to try and do a really interesting answer to it.
Lets start with the score.
Star ratings are a guidance at best, and a bit of a necessary evil.
For me,X-Men Origins: Wolverineis a two star film, pushing three on a very good day.
Todays a Friday, so lets stick with three.
I do think its a disappointing film though, and a muddled one.
Theres no shortage of examples.
We will add it to the list of films we take a second look at.
