I'll slam dunk the funk

The first Doctor was played by a man in his fifties. In fact it wasn't until the fourth incarnation that it became a younger man's role.

Real name Ben Feit? Sounds a bit too similar to Bobba Fett for my liking. I think he's hiding something.

Penn Jillette points out that if you say ATM machine, you must be referring to a machine that performs ass to mouth - because the 'M' means 'machine'.

"I still think of the Talking Heads when I hear "Radio Head.""

Ditto also the piano, drums, and harmonica. And Matt Johnson's vocals too. The piano on "This Is the Night" and the way the harmonica cuts straight into "Slow Emotion Replay" after that song finishes… it's all so good. Almost 20 years since that CD came out.

Dusk by The The is one of my favourite records. Great songs, amazing atmosphere and all instruments are perfect.

Death by ass to mouth?

Perhaps not - Veep is (apparently) careful to not make the show about Democrat or GOP, so it should be irrelevant who's in power. Whereas The Thick of It started out being kind of about New Labour.

Seconded.

No, but it's #1 with people who are.

Really? I had it PEGGED from the start. Yeah?
Sorry, not a patch on the original gag, I should have just parroted that one.

Kisswithatear clearly said " So long as it makes kids laugh, and adults at that!". So if he's treating kids as less than human because he suggests it's fine for a film for them just to be enjoyable, then presumably he's doing the same to adults too.

No worries. See also 'bathos'.

The original book's title, used for the UK release, is far better. Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists has the right combination of clever and ridiculous. Band of Misfits, by contrast, sounds twee and bathetic - starting with the punch of Pirates then stuttering to a halt with the two unstressed syllable of…

Is it a tribute to that photo of Depp's mate Nic Cage - the one where his hair is a bird?

Yup absolutely. The Black Eyed Peas sample particularly annoyed me. Miserlou - really? After all this time. It's one step above covering 'You Got The Love' again.

Yeah, it was ADDRESSED then, but the story here is that Cameron finally fixed it.
