Thanks to Markunator in post 21 for putting up the Mark Kermode review, he says everything that needs to be said about this film. 'It is the most boring, ploddingly put together, infantile, crass, adolescent, stupid, chauvanistic twoddle that I have sat through in a very, very long time'...

Many of you will have seen the news that Rotten Tomatoes had to close the comments for upcoming film 'The Dark Knight Rises' due to death threats that some users were making aimed at reviewers who didn't like the film. The questions I would ask are why do these films provoke such an extreme...

At Last! PS3 and Wii users have enjoyed the BBC iPlayer for years, but at long last us Xbox users have got the service too. I didn't even realise we were getting it until I booted up the 360 today. I am glad the BBC stuck to its guns to make sure it was available to all and not just those...

So let me get this straight... 'Captain America' was the second best film of 2011, Zack Snyder is a brilliant visionary director, 'Sucker Punch' empowered women and 'The Artist' is not very good. I think I'll stick with Mark Kermode, even if he does think Twilight is better than Star Wars.

It's just not funny any more. For me the golden age was seasons 3 to 8, episodes were expertly crafted containing well written stories with interesting, character driven plots. There were also great gags and brilliant satire to throw into the mix. After the hit and miss seasons of 9 and 10...

There are several asian MPs, off the top of my head I can think of Pritti Patel for the Tories and Labour's Sadique Khan. Personally I'm not a fan of Mr Vaz but if it came to a choice between him and the racist idiots of the BNP I'd opt for Vaz every time. The BNP actually came a poor 4th in...

Have I missed something? Is there some powerful sinister organisation that awards the game of the year award at an award ceremony like the oscars? As far as I can see every games website and their mum has it's own GOTY award which means there'll be loads of GOTY awards spread around maybe as...

I agree with much of what is being said, but I would like to stick up for numerical game scores. Obviously the written review is the most important thing but review scores give the consumer a way of comparing one game against another. One has to remember that at £40/$60 games cost much more than...

As a biologist I think I'll take the cultured meat question. Of course it is possible to create cultured meat that could be used instead of animals, but at present the technology has not been developed on an industrial scale. Currently the costs involved producing cultured meat are many many...

Thought I'd point out that this event did actually happen, although the real event was somewhat less dramatic than the Arma 2 footage suggests. In 1988 A British Army Lynx helicopter was forced to make an emergency landing after being hit by the IRA using a heavy machine gun thought to be...

BBC 6Music and Test Match Special. Worth the license fee on their own.

Diaminobenzidine (DAB) is pretty toxic. Beta-mecaptoethanol is also very nasty stuff, stinks too. Concentrated hydrochloric acid is always fun; you don't want to get that in your eye! Xylene is very toxic as well, and it disolves rubber gloves too not to mention that it's highly flamable...

Hmmm, I think a term like 'learning boost' is rather unhelpful, it plays into the 'Rainman' stereotype, the idea of those with autism having special mental powers. Autism can cause savauntism i.e. increased memory or problem solving abilities, but this is rare and often goes hand in hand with...
