Kevin Costner and Kevin Reynolds reteamed for one of the most notorious blockbusters of the 1990s, Waterworld. We revisit the project. This article contains spoilers for Waterworld and the original Planet Of The Apes. Waterworldwas a good idea, Joss Whedon toldThe AV Clubback 2001. Sure, it was always going to be ambitious. Shooting a major blockbuster at sea? What could possibly go wrong there? Many, many, many more. The story ofWaterworld, after all, tends to overshadowWaterworldthe film....

Its unclear at the moment, so this hour must be graded as genuinely to be continued. But I will give Krieg Nicht Lieb thisthat ending will leave water coolers in the beltway buzzing. Is Dar Adal a bad guy? This a naive question, and not just because hes played by Salieri. as evidence for his lack of scruples. Still, I must say that he appears worse than previously imaginable. But more on that in a moment....

I think that depends on how well it does, Helfer said. Theres more sexism, more male roles and female roles. But even ten years ago you didnt necessarily, or 20 years ago you didnt. So if you take a small town, they evolve slower. They hold onto things longer. I come from a farm town in Alberta, and I think people hold onto things more.

Nativity 3 earned critical scorn, and a robust defence from its director. But is there a missed chance here, wonders Simon? Audiences love these films and will watch them over and over again. I confess I was intrigued, then. Everybody has a fundamental right to like the films they like, without being lambasted for doing so. If any of you want my spirited defence ofCrocodile Dundee 3, then by all means get in touch....

Forget the Xbox and the Playstation. You with your Xbox Threes and your Playstation 360s, quibbling over how many p your console can do. Xbox only does 900p, Playstation does 1080p. The difference is literally 1.80. Every console ever made is inferior to the Sega Mega Drive, for only it has Blast Processing. Imagine the early 80s. And so against Nintendo struck back Sega with its Master System. Also, it looked a bit a novelty desk tidy....

This season has seen South Park experimenting with continuity more than they ever have before. Do you think this experiment has worked? Will this be an approach theyll continue with? But weve never seen anything like this. I think for the most part fans enjoyed and appreciated it. The only downside is that the writers never further explored why Butters burned down the gym. However, I dont really considerSouth Parkto be Dan Harmon when it comes to callbacks....

Mind-bending puzzles and an eerie sci-fi plot come together in The Talos Principle. Its easy to feel a little nonplussed by it all, at least at first. When you first approach one of these terminals, you notice your fingers are robotic… The ingenuity of the story extends to the puzzles. Each set of puzzles introduces a new mechanic. There are weighted boxes that can be dropped on pressure-sensitive buttons. There are things called Connectors, which bounce lasers around coloured receivers on the walls....

Our resident Destiny expert talks about what it’s like to communicate in the game without using a headset. The result is quite beautiful. Theres a good balance between both the solo and cooperative experiences that really speak to the fantastic framework ofDestiny. But for the most part, I chose to stand alone. This, of course, has been changed in the latest patch. Destinyin its first week was as different fromDestinytoday asDestinytoday will be fromDestinya few months from now....

With the cast signed up and back on board, the movie was set to be released in 2003. All that needed to happen was for the first film to become a success. Which is where it hit a stumbling block....

Libraries are a little bit magical, arent they? In bothBuffy The Vampire Slayerand Terry PratchettsDiscworld, libraries are places for arcane magic to take place. I had a chat to former evil-Buffyverse lawyer Christian Kane ahead of its premiere… Right, so,The Librarians. Tell me about the show Im hearing early comparisons toThe X Files, is that fair? You know, thats good, but you know, I always like to have a different take....

So tell us about this years Christmas special… I think its a great episode. Its very clever, because its both incredibly festive and jolly and its quite terrifying. Its one of the scariest ones weve done, but its also one of the happiest. Does the Doctors relationship with Clara change a bit in the special?
