» Film critics Gene Siskel and Johnny Oleksinski have called fans of slasher films like Friday the 13th and Saw "very sick people" and "depraved lunatics who should not be allowed near animals or most other living things". Public outcry around the video game Mortal Kombat in the early 1990s was so extreme that it led to a special US Senate hearing on the topic.

» 'It's actually going to be easy to cure ageing and cancer," insists David Sinclair, a researcher on ageing at Harvard University. Similarly, Elon Musk continues to claim that he will soon land humans on Mars and deploy robotaxis en masse. Major corporations have set carbon-neutrality targets based on highly optimistic forecasts about the potential of carbon-removal technologies. And, of course, many commentators now insist that "AI changes everything".

» Hollywood loves a happy ending, preferably after a few twists and turns along the way. The British version has another chance to write its own after Marlow Film Studios, backed by Avatar director James Cameron and a host of UK creative talents, said it will appeal against the rejection of a planned complex in the country's movie heartland west of London. Suspense turns on whether the two-month-old Labour government will intervene to greenlight a project that so clearly aligns with its mission of stimulating economic growth.
