It’s that time again folks. A veritable torrent of discussion has taken place around the sprawling network of MSN Movies. So what on earth have people been saying?

Let’s start with a positive shall we?

Thanks to Alex for this:

"I thank you dearly for the slice of humour I illicited from your video. Your expression when he hit on your trainee said it all. You, my friend, are a legend."

Guess which interview this was about? Yes it was Russell Brand, who was far more keen on poor Shannon than he was on actually going through with his interview for Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

And slightly less thanks to ‘limegreenukel’, who wasn’t nice:

"Oh my god that interviewer is so rubbish. "Tell us a bit about your character.. blah blah" Where did you think that one up Mr. Interviewer? Cutting edge journalism. How has he got a trainee?"

Oh well – you win some you lose some. Never mind. On to Iron Man, which I wasn’t such a fan of. Some of the more positively-minded amongst you took issue with my largely negative review.

‘Jax’ said this.

"You don’t go to see a super hero movie for the intellectual and thought provoking ride of your life, you just go for the ride. Perhaps someone else should take over this movie review blog, someone, for a start who doesn’t fall asleep during movies."

I think a few people missed the point here, confusing a blog entry for the actual review – I’ll try to be clearer on this in future.
