I'm aware of that. I actually played the hell out of C64 games growing up, I'm more commenting on the pointlessness of the design of the game as it relates to the pointlessness of the movie. Read more

I was going to dispute you, but your username checks out! Read more

Seconded. Charlie Brooker is great at what he does, and Screenwipe is absolutely fantastic. Read more

Essentially, although PBS, NPR and C-SPAN are all very poorly funded compared to the BBC. Read more

I'm more interested in the green guy, to be honest.
