Sure, but 15 is still fairly standard, and Glenmorangie is a big enough distillery (and part of a big enough group) that I suspect they would be very careful about what they release and how prices reflect quality.
Anyway, it's more that I was disappointed due to high expectations than the thing being anywhere near bad.
I…

Yes, it's slightly more complicated and was an easy shortcut.
But in that case the younger one I was referring to was three years old if I recall, again not a bad thing in itself, as it's the legal minimum before you can call the stuff whisky, there are plenty of very decent very young things from "original" countries…

I've tried Glenmorangie 15 YO Le Nectar d'Or, aged in Sauternes casks.
I was a little disappointed, after the wonderful much younger whisky I had tried a few months ago that was also aged in sweet wine casks I was expecting amazing delights, and it was simply good.
Might have been that my palate was shot from a few…

I'm sorry about your uncle.

Thanks. A quick check shows that it is far too crude for the UK, not officially available here :(

I remember seeing a version of the movie where the sex scene culminated with the characters shitting and peeing on each other, unfortunately it was a copy watched through illegal means which I have since deleted and I have no idea where it came from, it's definitely not on the DVD I have

No love for Puppetmastaz?
Might have been more gimmicky than anything else, but should still be worth a mention.

If you don't like the humour or the the conspiratorial bent of the books (but are those really conspiracies or just paraoia and madness from the characters) his books probably just aren't for you. And there's nothing wrong with that.
And re Vineland, any book that has ninjas, undeads, Godzilla, and spies cannot be…

Which ones have you tried? The first by him I've read was Lot 49 which was short enough that I wasn't tempted to stop, and peculiar enough that it gave me a pretty good idea of what to expect next. Then Mason & Dixon which quickly became my favourite book ever, if you can deal with the old-timey prose, I'm tempted to…

I won't argue with anything you wrote about Bande à Part, but have you seen Une Femme Est une Femme, or since it's now easily available Soigne ta Droite?
I'm not sure they're more fun to watch, but it would be close (I also have a weird thing for La Chinoise and the whole Dziga Vertov period, they're not necessarily…

South Park, if you're open to suggestions, I'll second @avclub-cfe912f5cb3aa572bd1c9ae2a9b82207:disqus 's, unless you recently told him you wanted kids.

That's exactly why I loved that line, I go to concerts fairly regularly, and there is nothing worse than a kid in the hall, in restaurants being a close second, or in cinemas, or in parks.
Actually that's just a great line regardless of the circumstances.

Pickpocket is all it's cracked up to be. It's Paul Schrader's favourite movie (or one of) who quoted it in a couple of his, including American Gigolo; it made some French critics apoplectic which is always fun (it's not meant as a dig, I actually very much like what I've seen of him).
I don't remember much of Mouchette,…

Grandpa, you forgot to take your pills again…

I don't disagree, but it's also why it's impossible to get fed up with em.

I don't think I've seen Night and Day, but Hong Sang-Soo's movies are reliably great, even if the main protagonist pretty much systematically turns out being a massive prick.

I'm fairly excited. Now if the Divine Fits tour could have a few dates in Europe that would be nice.

It certainly makes for a grand spectacle; between the love duets, fights, intrigues, heretics being burnt at the stake. It is definitely entertaining.
It was the Hytner production which is also at the Met, i think they broadcast it a couple of years ago, there's also a dvd someone kindly uploaded on YouTube (http://ww…

The cultural part of the week ended up more or less having a theme: the conflict between love and politics.

I won't argue with anything you wrote about Bande à Part, but have you seen Une Femme Est une Femme, or a bit more unusual Soigne ta Droite?
I'm not sure they're more fun to watch, but it would be close (I also have a weird thing for La Chinoise and the whole Dziga Vertov period, they're not necessarily an accessibke…
