Some tricks look easier the more you practice them. We like to believe that were the main characters in the stories of our lives. We like to construct narratives where there arent any because structure is comforting. That she brought this on herself and there was no larger villain at play. In both her and Virginias situations, theyre trying to turn the past into a story that it wasnt. We see Virginia continue to tell Barbaras story to Madden, the psychologist, but its an unsuccessful operation....

The pigeons appear on the screen as little more than static photographs of varying quality. Before you know it,Hatoful Boyfriendhas shifted from a breezily weird dating sim to something far more unexpected. Forget what you might think you know about pigeon dating sims. It really evolved from the conversations between him and [original creator] Moa Hato. Thats why we decided to rebuild the game in HD and attempt to bring it to a wider audience....

The Sears manager Kelly Goodweather thought would be more attentive than her workaholic, CDC all-star husband? Yeah, hes dead and thats not the only bit of goodness from this weeks episode ofThe Strain. So, with our gang in place, Eph journals home to check on his ex-wife and son. What he finds is a transformed Matt trying to kill his son Zach. Since the story began, Eph has had to swallow his pride in every scene he shared with Matt....

This is despite the off-hand consensus of some viewers that the series has been total rubbish since season 10. There are a couple of qualifiers here. AKA, the one where Ned Flanders and Edna Krabappel start dating. I guess this is gonna have to be decided… by a higher power. This is an odd one to include, which is partly why its so low on the list. And thats where things get weird....

The Letters Page returns! Here’s the latest selection of reader correspondence… And were back. Details of how you might write in are at the bottom. Personally, Id rather we wrote something, at least as a starting point for a debate. Say perhapsDoctor Whoseries 8, or the new run ofThe Walking Dead? I give youEye Of The Storm(IMDB linkhere). I too remember it being pretty creepy! I hope it’s possible for you to somehow let Chris know....

Thats the Terrance Dicks line that Steven Moffat referenced in The Day of the Doctor. Hes on the top layer if you want to say a few words. Thats a line that either Steven Moffat or Phil Ford wrote forInto The Dalek. Hes an alien genius, he grew up on planet Oxbridge, and he gets stuck into difficut situations. Its not a total shock, therefore, to see him be an aloof death-monger with a superiority complex....

They dont know anything. You dont learn things from books. You learn things from hanging out of a helicopter blowing up a small army. Thats real life experience. attempt to make it relevant to the situation. If you have just killed a crocodile, tell its corpse Youre luggage. It doesnt matter if they are completely out of context. Or a naked time-traveling robot. Like, really, really really, really serious. Not a chance, just keep your head down and your moxie up....

Has 2014 marked a turning point in the quality of major movie sequels? And could there be hidden consequences to this? With good reason too. Fast forward to now, and weve an utter reverse of that situation. That ideas are threaded, sometimes perhaps too overtly granted, into the first film. The examples of follow-ups that havent really pushed things forward? Ive not seenSin City2, but opinion seems sharply divided, and the box office has not been kind....

[Laughs, nods]. Ad content continues below Was Gethin always your role here, then? Or did you read the script and go thats the part I want? It was the other way round. Because I think thats more interesting sometimes as an actor. Certainly some of the earlier stuff I did in theatre, I used to love those kind of parts. I think theyre cinematic. The parts where you have to be very present but you dont necessarily have a huge amount to do....

Andrew chats to the always brilliant Stellan Skarsgard about his new collaboration with Hans Petter Moland. Hes also collaborated regularly with Hans Petter Moland, andIn Order Of Disappearanceis the latest film from the pair. Yeah, thats an interesting question. Do you find Nilss story relatable? Do you think theres the capability for that revenge inside a lot of people? We have to know that the bad guys are not different from us in the world....

Wolverine is already dead. When John Romita first heard the word wolverine, he wasnt quite sure what it meant. And then everything changed. He was bitter and maladjusted, so something must have happened in his past to make him this way. This was used particularly effectively in a few areas. Readers were introduced to the idea that Logan was much older than he appeared to be. The possibility of Wolverine being even older, perhaps an immortal, seemed open....

Seth Cohen’s character in The O.C. Im sure we all share a few of them. Maybe its Holden Caulfield. Maybe its Kurt Cobain. Maybe its The Smiths orFight CluborGhost World. Seth Cohen was awesome. He was awkward and read Chuck Klosterman and drew superheroes and wore the coolest t-shirts. The O.C.was a deceptively brilliant, clever series that still doesnt get the respect it deserves. Ad content continues below Think back to 2003....

I dont know how he found time to write this autobiography back in 1977. And I also dont understand how so much of that autobiography could be about golf. How does he find time to play so much golf? And how does he make it sound so interesting? Hes really not like anybody else. He has walked as a giant through a world of little people and I dont just mean hes tall....
