People judging the merits of a band based on the songs that have been released? ASTOUNDING!

So many fat people on coke…Maybe it IS a thyroid problem after all!

I never liked them. They are the Bee Gees of my generation, insipidly cheerful with an occasional insipidly morbid song, and absolutely inescapable in the mid-90s.

I've read that 'supposedly normal rational…' sentence five times now and I still can't find the subject/verb/object or predicate.

Death penalty = retroactive abortion

Wait, when I lived in Leeds there were couple small villages around there that claimed Robin Hood as having been born there. I take it the general consensus is that Robin Hood was a Yorkshire man—hence, for any actor to go the full Robin he'd have to man up to the Yorkshire accent (not some posh BBC version).

Your best defence of 2009 releases is to tell me to watch movies that came out last year? The truth is sad. But not as sad as being a lonely strumpet.

Sunset Boulevard. Also, Silence of the Lambs.

Apparently leading astronomers have discovered the overall light gradient of the universe is beige (according to Stephen Fry on QI).

Wolverines, huh. Are the team colours yellow and purple? Or orange and black? Or red and periwinkle?

Rocky and Bullwinkle? Cold War propaganda at its most hillarious and inane. Actually I don't remember it that well, my fictional memory can be a bit faulty at times.

I'm sorry you feel that way lexicondevil because I'm a 31-year-old who wishes someone had given me that book at 15. I also wish I could have read Of Human Bondage at an earlier age, but probably would have needed Once& Future King as a primer. But I look at books somewhat along the lines of the "we read to know we're…

You need someone to read it to you?

Native Americans were similarly death marched on numerous occasions, but no one says much about the people that forced them to do it…Coming soon to a theatre near you! Just kidding, no one would make a movie that didn't somehow excuse white America's involvement.

Poo-tee-wheet?

Simpsons is all right, but I would recommend watching the original Looney Tunes. It formed my appreciation for classical music, classic novels of the 30s-40s, classic films/actors, and pre and post-WWII politics. Not bad for kiddie fare.

To say you won't read The Once and Future King because it's about King Arthur is like saying you won't read The Great Gatsby because it's about rich people, or 1984 because it's sci-fi. Come on.

[sigh] Anyone?

so…when do the good movies come out this year?

Damn procreators and their grubby little procreations.
