    Mark Gatiss is a long-time and prolific tweeter but the Moff seems to have resisted its charms until now. But he’s created a temporary profile for a tweet-along of Day of the Doctor. At least, someone claims to be him, anyway.

    That account seems to have disappeared already.

    Moffat had a Twitter account back in his early showrunner days, but he deleted it in September 2012 after getting into a couple light scuffles with obnoxious fans.

    I can still see it, albeit he hasn’t posted for a few hours. He posted a selfie to show its him.

    Ah ok. Strange, still works for me, but maybe that’s because I was already following it by the time I linked it. Thanks for the link.

    IDK, that first one had it spelled Moffit. You'd think the guy could spell his own name.

    Someone else snagged that handle after Moffat switched to the new one. That person added the misspelled name, probably as a way to clue people in that it’s now a joke account.

    Yup, my 3D experience every* single time. :lol:

    *Except with Gravity where it was actually properly utilized.

    "Age of Ultron" gave me a splitting headache.



    Yeah the twitter users drove him away.

    He was quite shocked when they uploaded a photo of him on Bad Wolf Bay location WHILE he was still standing in that spot AT THAT EXACT moment LOL

    Yeah, same here, but Avatar was the worst experience for me. Ugh.

    Avatar at least did something with the 3-D. I find a vast majority of the movies I've seen in 3-D for the most part the 3-D barely negligible and it anything the glasses just create a "sunglasses effect" of making the screen look darker. And theatre screens aren't very bright in general these days I find.

    I can't comment on the 3-D in the aforementioned Gravity since I intentionally saw that in 2-D thinking a movie set almost entirely in space is going to have dark enough picture as it is.
