I was more lusting after Jordana Brewster at the time (though she's even hotter in DEBS a few years later, going lesbo for Sara Foster. Quite right too).  I don't really watch them, but Jordana Brewster is sizzling in those Fast and Furious movies.  As the teens say, she's well fit She kind of looks like Yaz from Doctor Who if she was a tomboyish badass. |

Radhika Sanghani has the perfect face as far as I'm concerned. Her nose has a fan club!   God dam is she cute. |

Grace Jones was seriously sexy, but she was also scary as f*ck. Granted that's probably why I find her so sexy LMFAO. Look at this picture of her chilling with Tim Curry when he was filming Legend and she was filming A View To A Kill.  If you saw them drinking in a pub together and him with that make up, your response would still be "who is that scary bitch drinking with Tim Curry" LOL This is a woman that even Dolph Lundgren had a hard time with haha. I love the comment below that says " She was a temperamental girlfriend" which is the most gentleman way of saying "she was one crazy bitch sometimes"
Honestly though wouldn't have her any other way. Don't know why she wasn't in more things? Again maybe she was just a bit too much for some people. I mean she really takes the crazy dominatrix angle to a whole other level beyond even Alti and Big Fam. PS while we're on the subject I'm amazed Big Fam was never cast as one of his girlfriends? Let's be honest he's about the only leading man she didn't tower over so she wouldn't have had to have played an absolute bitch for once haha. |

I didn't know that they had remade Xena with Pink as Xena, Britney Spears as Gabrielle and Beyonce as Alti LOL.
The things I'd let Pink do to me in that Gladiator outfit, oh dear god!
You can also spot a cameo from Brian May and Roger Taylor there. Honestly this was a better way to honour Queen's music than that rancid musical by Ben Elton. When you hear the plot to Queen the Musical, ironically it sounds like something Rik from the Young Ones would write. I don't mean to be too hard on Ben Elton as he did some brilliant work and has become a punching bag from the media, but yeah Queen the Musical was not good LOL.

She's literally just Clara  I loved Jenna with Smith. I like how she doesn't know who the Second Doctor was (he does, obviously), but we'll let her off. 5:50 |

This is why I respect Smith so much. He clearly takes a proper interest in the history of the series.

You can tell he's not really a fan of the show and hasn't seen that much of it outside of what Moffat made him watch, but he does his best to seem enthusiastic about it. Ironically by not saying anything about Doctor Who since 2013 or whenever, he's been the best ambassador for the show. Tells you all you need to know really. Compared to superfan RTD. I think it's healthy for non-fans to be major instruments in the production. Some of the best work ever on Dr. Who was done by jobbers after all. |

I remember an account documenting that he watched that story and said to Moffat: “Write me like that”. |

I remember an account documenting that he watched that story and said to Moffat: “Write me like that”. And it's also coincidentally the only episode he ever mentions. You could sit basically anyone in front of Tomb and have them enjoy it, doesn't mean they'll be fans of the show as a whole. |

Well, perhaps. But did Moffat definitely make him watch it? I’m skeptical, given his record for sneering at the original series… Smith bellied Moffat a few times before his first series was finished. His attire was originally more Tennant-like before Smith waded in and suggested the bow-tie. It wouldn’t surprise me if his preference for Troughton was similarly of his own volition. |

I also don't want to sound accusatory. Like I said, having non-fans on the show is a great thing. What the past 20 years have shown us is that you don't want a fan in the driver's seat. They take the show they loved as a child and wrap it up in their own fantasies and unresolved traumas and political hangups, instead of just writing a good show. Robert Holmes was ostensibly a jobbing writer who wrote an episode every now and then. That's what we need more of, instead of grownup fans who are desperate to vindicate the show that they were mocked for enjoying as kids.

Robert Holmes was ostensibly a jobbing writer who wrote an episode every now and then. That's what we need more of, instead of grownup fans who are desperate to vindicate the show that they were mocked for enjoying as kids. I do get where you were coming from and that complaint is absolutely true to some extent of Moffat, who went on about how the giant rat put 5 years on his virginity. UGH. Also yes some of even the best writers and directors can lose their way when becoming fans. Sam Raimi on Spider-Man 3 is the prime example of that more so than any of the Fitzroy Crowd. Unlike the Fitzroy Crowd Raimi IS a huge fan of Spider-Man and for his first two movies that was fine. However, for the third when he had to include Venom, Raimi as I've pointed out before became a spoiled fanboy brat. Venom and Carnage were actually a perfect fit for him. Carnage is basically Callisto and a Deadite mixed together, whilst Venom is ironically more like his version of Doc Ock than the Doc Ock from the comics. Sadly because Raimi was thinking like a fanboy, he wanted to adapt characters he liked when he was a child and Venom and Carnage came from after he stopped reading, and because he had the common fanboy snobbery of that time that "anything in the 80s and 90s was crap", he didn't even bother to research Venom, and instead decided to adapt the Sandman, a bland, forgettable, throwaway villain from his childhood. Worse he and his fans still to this day say the problem was Sony forcing him to include Venom, and not him not being a professional and actually seeing if there was anything he could do with Venom and Carnage himself? Still an outsider can cause just as much damage for different reasons. Again Bob Holmes, let's not forget f*cked the Cybermen over every bit as much as Raimi did Venom in Revenge of the Cybermen because of his own snobby prejudices about recurring villains and because of his own lack of knowledge of them. Much like Raimi and Venom, the Cybermen were ironically perfect for his style. He also would not have done Genesis of the Daleks due to his snobbiness about recurring villains had Barry Letts who loved the Daleks not twisted his arm. Roland Emmerich similarly didn't do a good job in reinventing Godzilla in the 90s because by his own admission he hated the Japanese Godzilla movies and had never sat through one in its entirety. He was only interested in the basic idea of a city under siege by a monster which obviously wasn't enough. Meanwhile the Monsterverse and Oscar winning modern Japanese Godzilla movies are made by devoted fans who clearly know their stuff. Similarly Batman the Animated Series was made by fans and it's generally regarded as the best Batman To me the big thing isn't whether it's a fan or not, but whether they actually know and respect the character. That can happen if they are a fan, or it can happen if they are professionals and go away and research it. Examples of the former include Paul Dini for Batman the Animated Series and the makers of the monsterverse who know these characters inside out due to being fans. Examples of the latter meanwhile include the writer of Wrath of Khan who had never seen Star Trek, but after getting the gig went away and watched every episode, which is how he not only knew how to write the characters, but stumbled on Khan. Similarly John Semper JR though a Spider-Man fan, was also not a fan of Venom and Carnage. Like Raimi he only read the comics in the 60s and 70s. However after getting the gig he went away and researched every single comic he could, and approached them from the point of view of "what can I get out of them as a writer." In contrast he created the absolute best, most iconic version of the Symbiotes outside of the comics, with the Spider-verse, Batman Who Laughs, RTD's first era of DW and the zoom story in Flash all growing out of his version of the Symbiotes. Meanwhile Matt Smith I think falls into the latter category. He was not a Who fan growing up, but after being cast went away and researched it and therefore came to understand the character. The rest of the Fitzroy Crowd don't even fall into the Raimi category. They are all fake fanboys who like I said watched it when they were children and it became a club for them to be a part of and dominate, but haven't actually watched it for decades. Chris Chibnall openly admits to this. I believe Zarius posted the link to that interview a few years back? If he could do so again that would be appreciated, but yeah Chibnall in this interview taken in 2012 says that he hasn't watched a second of classic who since it finished. I doubt his opinion has changed since then. To me he's just being more honest than the rest of them. I doubt RTD watches classic DW stories regularly. I doubt Moffat does either and Tennant certainly didn't before being cast. Matt ironically is the only one that I think actually had knowledge of the classic show fresh in his mind when playing it, which demonstrates the staggering difference between him and the others, but sadly when he was still being written by the Fitzroy Crowd that could only take him so far. |
