I'd say neither. I think he'll be quite comfortable for the next couple of months.

Friday Chart Predictions
We don't know if they're definitely performing the new track yet though. Apparently, acts are not really encouraged to promote new material on this show for some reason, and they were seemingly booked to do a sing-along section, which would suggest something like Tragedy. Fingers crossed they get to do Scared of the Dark though.

Friday Chart Predictions
Top 40 is realistically a good aim for Steps at the moment. The latest Kworb update showed a massive drop so they're not guaranteed to be sticking around for very long. If they perform it tonight it'll work wonders, and they may well get a top 20 out of this. Which I doubt anyone would have predicted a few weeks ago to be honest.

Steps - 'Scared of the Dark'
:lol: Good lord, you do love it. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now but it just gets better and better. It's a solid gold pop banger of epic proportions and easily one of their very best ever singles. And from a group with such a stellar singles record, that's really astonishing. I'm now praying to all the Gods I don't believe in that they don't completely ruin it with a terrible video and cringey dance moves. I'm hoping they have a team that's getting them ready for that triumphant first live performance.

Steps - 'Scared of the Dark'
I'll tell you something, that chorus is a stunner. The thumping bassline, the incredible melody, Claire's vocal. And holy hell, that key change is life affirming.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
Of those three, India has to win. It would be a complete shambles if it was either of the other two. I do not see CoryAnne's appeal whatsoever. She's completely bland, doesn't take amazing pictures and I thought her commercial was easily the worst. Courtney on the other hand looked like a model from head to toe. She might be a sandwich short of a picnic sometimes, but she absolutely nailed it when it came to modelling. I also liked her commercial. India's was fantastic though. I find her quite annoying but she's easily the best of a bad bunch now.

The Good Fight
The first 2 episodes of this were brilliant. I went in a bit hesitant but I'm totally hooked already. Absolutely top notch.

America's Next Top Model 2018 | Cycle 24
This whole episode was so strange. Why put them in those high fashion outfits, using a variety of backdrops, if the shoot was for a pure, face-only, beauty shot? And what was with the whole Universal Studios segment? They even used stock footage of a video tour advertisement for the Harry Potter world. It felt like one big sponsored advert.

Favourite Performance By An Actor/Actress
Oh goodness we'll have to disagree on that one :P Garner's a difficult one though. If TV shows were allowed, it'd be Alias all the way, but I'll go for 13 Going On 30. It's one of my guilty pleasures :wub: Sandra Bullock.

Favourite Performance By An Actor/Actress
He was perfection in the Lord of the Rings trilogy (it's impossible to pick one). They couldn't have chosen a better Gandalf. He's a wonderful actor. Angelina Jolie.

RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9
Makes sense she's well painted, because I've heard she comes in like she's a contestant (I'm guessing she might have something covering her face) and then Ru reveals who she is. Which is amazing. Also, judging by the very slight height difference between her and Ru in that picture, I'm guessing she's got on some KILLER heels, because Ru normally towers over her.

Arrival
Saw this last night. Wow. Stunning. Loved every minute of it. I was totally immersed in it and though we kind of guessed the twist quite early, it didn't spoil anything. This one definitely warrants repeat viewing. And it's refreshing to watch an alien movie where the focus is something a little more intelligent and thought provoking, and not just about how gross they can look or how cool their space ship is.

Josh's Top 106 Movies of 2016!
He was already in the 1st movie, playing Pine's dad, George Kirk. If you liked Beyond you'll love the first 2, as it's definitely the worst one.

Power Rangers Movie Reboot
I think I peed a little. IT. LOOKS. SO. GOOD.

Josh's Top 106 Movies of 2016!
It actually might. It made $285 million worldwide on a budget of $110 million. So it did well. It fared far better internationally than in the US ($198m vs $98m).

Only Jonjo showing Power Rangers some love? Sigh. Will do a list later, but that's top 5 for sure.

Josh's Top 106 Movies of 2016!
You were very generous when it comes to Inferno. I was so disappointed with it. The book was great, but the movie just didn't compare. It was also very, very different. Seeing as you enjoyed it, you really need to see Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. I love them both. The books are of course far superior though.

Haven't you just answered your own question? ;)

iTunes Weekly Thread W/C 6th January 2017
I am surprised (but ecstatic) that Sia is releasing Move Your Body. I don't like the single mix (it's too watered down) but the album version is a solid gold banger. It has Shakira written all over it, she was nuts to pass on it.

The Exorcist
Absolutely agree. I could have done without some of the plot lines lasting all the way to the end, as I really just wanted the action to get back to the family when they weren't on screen. Also, considering where it ended up when the main storyline was revealed about halfway through, I suppose this should really be considered sequel territory, rather than any kind of remake. They didn't mess around with the original story too much. I can't remember noticing too many inconsistencies, so it was faithfully done. My only gripe from the last episode was when Geena woke up in Regan's old bedroom and opened the door, we were looking at a hallway/corridor instead of the landing and little stairway from the original house. If they'd matched that up properly, it would have been a really neat little touch, as they did make her room look like it did in the movie. I'm a huge fan of Geena but I honestly wasn't all that impressed with her performance in the first couple of episodes. By the end though, she played a blinder.

The Exorcist
Just finished this and am excited to see it has been renewed. This turned out to be infinitely better than I had expected, and I loved the links to the movie. Seems like nobody on here was watching it, but you're honestly missing a great show.

Guilty Pleasures
Oh god I've got loads. Though I'd only consider it a guilty pleasure if it's generally maligned or was mauled by the critics. Bring It On should never be a guilty pleasure - it's incredible. Also, someone mentioned The Lion King!? Nothing guilty about that! For me, it's The Power Rangers Movie (almost wholly for Ivan Ooze, the cheesy one-liners during the fight scenes and that theme song - OOFT!). I actually cannot wait for the new one. Spice World. Victoria steals almost every scene. What an icon. The Transformers films. They're terrible, terrible movies, but I quite enjoy them. They're just brainless fun. Batman v Superman. Gets a lot of hate, but I really enjoy it. The extended version fixed a lot of the storytelling issues and Ben Affleck is the Batman for me now. Also, Gal Gadot :heart: The Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions. Both films got terrible reviews and aren't held in very high regard, but I think they're incredible. Obviously the first one is a masterpiece, but as a whole, it's an amazing trilogy. I'm sure I'll think of lots more. I'll update when they come to me.

Project Runway / All-Stars / Junior / Under the Gunn
OMG yes at Laurence :( Also, her collection was surprising! I'd expected angular shoulders, lots of black, leather and straps. This is by far one of the weakest finals we've had for a while though. I'm not overly excited about any of them.

The X Factor ● Series 13 ● Final
For me, her best performances are Chandelier at the semi final, The Winner Takes It All from the quarter finals and Enough is Enough from Disco Week (she served absolutely insane vocals with punchy choreo on this one and I was living for it).
