Had the exit of Thomas Tuchel been in any way on the cards, Fred? The announcement certainly came as a surprise to me this morning.

Sorry, I should have clarified there that I was mainly thinking in terms of the standalone movies. The old Justice League Unlimited and Batman animated series (along with the X-Men and Spider-Man ones) were essentially my jumping off points for getting into comic books back in the day, but I remain a bit of a novice when it comes to the movie universe. I'd still like to try and see more, but even now, the sheer amount of stuff out there makes my head spin.

Resurrection had a fantastic, out-of-the-box premise (that its version of Ripley is too alien to be human and too human to be alien, but still has to pick a side), although the absurdist vibe and almost slapstick violence make it a curious watch. Overall, the execution wasn't brilliant and it hasn't really aged that well.

Third trailer just landed.

Add that to the fact that Scarjo was recently named one of Hollywood’s highest grossing actors of all time and the very highest grossing actor of 2016, and pretty much any argument against it starts looking decidedly ramshackle. They even had a ready made premise after the whole "T'Challa told Ross what you did" thing in Civil War, but still wouldn't bite the bullet.

Are you well versed in DC's animated universe? I'm not really familiar with a lot of it, but I wouldn't mind changing that.

She's lovely.

And to that point, although it's probably a bit of an odd thought, Marvel will likely be looking at this and hoping that it performs well. That being said, it's ridiculous to have arrived at a point where there's so much riding on one film. There would have been far less pressure had Marvel done what they should have done ages ago and commissioned a Black Widow solo story.

I expect it to open strongly, but probably more in spite of its marketing than because of it. The media campaign (or lack thereof) suggests a much smaller advertising budget than for Suicide Squad or Batman vs Superman, perhaps in response to the subpar performances of those films. Do you think you'll see it on the big screen? Given DC's recent track record, I'll probably still be going into it with some trepidation, but my gut feeling is that it'll be at least in the Man of Steel range of quality. Some of the bits and pieces I've seen up to now look legitimately interesting.

Moyes is almost certainly out of options at the highest level now, although I could see an offer from the SFA being on the table as soon as Wee Gordon's time is up. As for a potential replacement, it's difficult to pinpoint a 'no brainer' at the moment, although there are certainly areas that I hope Short and Bain will be sensible enough to stay out of, namely random ex-pros (Giggs, O'Shea, Phillips) and the 'jobs for the boys' old guard (Pardew, McClaren). Equally, a Pearson or Karanka type would feel like an extension of a mentality we've just escaped. After he walked into a similar shambles at Leeds and appeared to get the team organised in fairly short order, I don't mind the idea of getting Garry Monk, but honestly, I'll settle for anyone who sees the job as a way to make a name for himself and looks like he wants to be here. That would be a improvement on what we had.

Three years ago, David Moyes left Everton as the new Alex Ferguson, today he leaves Sunderland as the new Alex McLeish. It's a relief really, there was so much negativity around the club and this will be a chance to generate some much-needed optimism for the long, hard season Championship ahead.

Trust our Tony to try and "kick them up the arse" and miss. Perhaps he could take over from Arsene Wenger at the Emirates after all, that would at least guarantee a more interesting relegation fight for next season.

For two connected stories, Alien and Aliens are very different and I think that really works in their favour. Aliens is the superior sci-fi/action movie, while Alien is the superior horror/suspense movie. I'd consider Ridley Scott’s visuals more skilful than James Cameron’s, although Cameron does manage to expand on many of the first film’s strengths, and never in a way that feels excessive or forced. The original is still my absolute favourite though, it's an uncomplicated film in a lot of ways, but just such a masterpiece of slow burning tension. If we're discounting the Alien vs Predator movies, both of which are beyond even 'so bad it's good' territory, Alien 3 would be at the bottom of the pile for me as well. Its main aim was to try and 'put the cat back in the bag' by using an individual xenomorph to scare the audience again, but that would only have had a chance of working if the characters were worth caring about. Ripley aside, they're all just too thinly sketched to be engaging.

Wait 'til I tell Ophelia Immortal about this, you guys.

@Cult Icon It's no secret that the franchise is a really mixed bag, but I would say that only James Cameron’s follow-up in '86 is worthy of being placed in the same category of excellence as the original, which might be the most influential movie ever in the genre. If I had to rank them all from best to worst, this is how I'd do it. Alien Aliens Prometheus Alien Resurrection Alien 3

Truly heartbreaking news about Chris. I always think it says a lot when the range of tributes to a musician comes from across the genre spectrum and from fans of everything from pop to extreme metal. As a bit of an aside, what with the work of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave mostly being at the forefront of those tributes at the moment (rightly so, of course), I'd completely forgotten until this morning about him performing You Know My Name, which is the best James Bond theme ever.

I'm of a similar opinion, although I only ever saw it the once. The old Verhoeven film was quite low-brow in a lot of ways, but there were also some high ideas mixed in, whereas the remake just seemed aggressively middle-of-the-road in almost every department. Shame really, because it's a good book too, and the world they created was more faithful to it than the Arnie version.

I wonder if perhaps the additions of new picture posts are resetting the thumbnail images or complicating things in some way?

The relegation battle itself was very much par for the course this year, but with Boro about to register one of the best 'goals against' records ever for a side in the bottom three, I suppose you'd have to say they were a bit of an anomaly. For all Karanka's control freakishness, he at least knew his stats and recognised that teams who look decent at the back are almost always in with a fighting chance of survival. It's hard to imagine much of their current squad now being picked apart by Premier League clubs, so if they replace the two or three players likely to leave and add some flair, I could honestly see them walking the Championship next season.
