It may just be a way of taking advantage of a problem in the story (presumably caused by either Kang's absence or Downey's duplicate casting). But these are the guys who just laid off the entire MCU art department, so we are not talking about long-term thinkers here.
They are milking their loyal fanbase by making them buy tickets to watch Endgame again - which means that Doomsday will be less enjoyable for people who don't do that.
So it's a repeat of the strategy of the Marvel Comics company: sell more and more each to fewer and fewer people.
If something is "critical" to the plot of a movie, then it should actually be in that movie.
But I love that line, and its delivery. It just such a Time Lord-ish thing that, when suddenly seeing someone with a gun, his first instinct* is to classify the type of gun rather than be shocked or scared.
* His impulse, even.

The clarity of this recording! It makes Robert Johnson's guitar sound even spookier. Stunning.

Aw, sweet little Ogron child.
I bet most of the stories are actually inspired by Hal David, though.
Jeff Cummings is so good. I remember when the Targets for Face of Evil and Talons of Weng-Chiang came out. I think I spent more time looking at the covers than reading them.
A recent essay on Ron Whyte's work at Marvel, which seems to have been a lot more extensive then previously thought. Comic book historians may have hit the jackpot.

Film poster for The Bride of Frankenstein, with a coloured drawing of the Creature (Boris Karloff) holding the Bride (Elsa Lanchester) in his arms. She is, in turn, holding a bouquet of flowers.
🎶 A little bit of Monica in my life
A little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need
A little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun
A little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am
A little bit of you makes me your man 🎶

That rage-bait journos think it is worth writing about Taskmaster for clicks suggests that it is in very good health.
Screen capture from The Baron: Countdown. John Mannering (played by Steve Forrest) and Cordelia Winfield (Sue Lloyd) stand in front of a large full-length painting of a man in mail and a white tabard with a red cross, carrying a sword. He has his coif on his head, but his face looks remarkably like the actor George Pastell.
JW an episode of The Baron, called "Countdown" (in which there is no countdown of any sort).
It features this rather nice portrait of a Crusader. Am I imagining it, or is that George Pastell? He isn't in the episode, and his Imdb entry doesn't suggest anything it might have been made for. Any ideas?
Looks like there may be an announcement about this year's planned Doctor Who cross-media thingy, Circuit Breaker, on 30 April.
(Or it might just be about the Titan comic).
Top half of a page from a 1975 edition of TV Comic, featuring the title and panels from "Dr Who: The Dalek Revenge!" Drawn by John Canning.
Absolutely. Any fool kno that it isn't "Revenge of the Daleks," it's "The Dalek Revenge!"
Well, the people who do follow you here are more likely to see your posts, if that's any consolation.
That means that follower numbers tend to carry on ticking slowly upwards if you're active, rather than plateauing as they do over there.
And we all thought that the masculine form of "regina" was "rex".
In which the Doctor nicks off part way through to visit the Costa Del Sol…
So, this is set before "Brass", then?
Celebrating that all-important 60th anniversary of "The Dancing Floor".

I'm enjoying these. One note: James Bond's "we've got all the time in the world," are his last words in the book of OHMSS (published 1963), so Blish could have got them from there, I suppose.
Still, it's not the same without Louis Armstrong.

Will eat what he oughta
And spend the night in Greggs
In the Pilgrims' Quarter 🎶

A manila-coloured package (containing an A-format paperback) fully sealed around the edges and corners with parcel tape, and across the flap and along the length of the book with sellotape.
Just received one of those packets that's so tightly sealed against the risk of damage while in the post that I'm scared of the risk of damage while trying to open it.
It's an untelevised story in which Doctor Who becomes Pope.
Sweet sausages. Ugh.
Alamy preview image for a black and white photo of Catherina von Schell in Moon Zero Two. She wears a bell-shaped wig, a sleeveless tunic with a thick belt over a crew-neck shirt, and opaque tights.
Never explained. Nor why only women needed them. Curiously similar wigs were worn by some women in Moon City in Hammer's Moon Zero Two, released in 1969 - the year UFO was shot. Here's Catherine Schell in one (champagne pink, IIRC), some years before she turned up on Moonbase Alpha too.
A slightly fuller-length photo might have dispelled the confusion.
Cover to Doctor Who: The Indestructible Man by Simon Messingham. The cover image includes a photo of Wendy Padbury as Zoe, edited so that she is wearing a UFO purple wig.
Blame BBC Books.
