Something is very wrong with the spiders of Sheffield. The Doctor and friends investigate.

Either I'm missing something or Ridley Scott's new movie (which I only knew existed through cinema posters) isn't getting any hype at all. I appreciate the guy's work ethic but his last few films have really damaged his reputation.
My theory as to why Scott accepts any old script that flies across his desk is the same reason that Hopkins, Kingsley and Caine appear in anything and everything. They all come from working class backgrounds where hard work is rewarded so they have to keep working and can't pick and choose.
You could never make Some Like It Hot today in our sensitive society. Conservatives would go MAD. Men dressed as women!?
This is, believe it or not, my first Marilyn Monroe film (I think).
"Doctor Who should be about the random adventures, not the story arcs" OK so fuck E-Space, Key to Time, the Black Guardian, returning Ian and Barbara to Earth, Master Plan, the Earth exile, Nerva Beacon, Trial... most of the revival are random adventures, it's the same sodding show.
The two finalists will be judged on how well they can rewrite their ending when faced with the final judge - Stephen Berkoff, who WILL make it hard for them.
Josh O’Connor going from ”guy killed by the monster before the titles roll” to “blockbuster leading man” is the biggest and funniest Doctor Who career glow-up since Jonny Lee Miller started his career as an uncredited Kinda child.
It can't really be a Ridley Scott film, where's the press tour where a near-nonogenarian throws childish fits that nobody likes his recent work and yells at kids for watching things they enjoy?
It's not really for me to determine if this has aged well or accurately, but it seems to me, given the time period, that it has aged quite well and less dated in its gender jokes than the "comedy" currently in theatres today.
More and more, I am convinced that a large percentage of Doctor Who fandom don't actually understand Classic OR revival Doctor Who. They just fundamentally get what any of it is doing, they have an image in their heads of what the show should be, even though it has never been any of it.
