Well holy fuck, that should have been famine-related charities, but any would do. That's what happens when you read too many firsties.

I call fucking retarded
Balls. Pointless. Why not donate the money used to finance the film directly to an HIV/AIDS charity now?

Speaking of applause, B Town, when The Dark Knight came out I was in Rome. So we went along to a larger cinema that was showing it with the English dub (Warner Village, with Italian subtitles that didn't detract) and the mostly-Italian audience had quite a bizarrely charming habit of breaking out a smattering of…

After I've punched them in the fucking faces.

The article interested me for purely Seinfeldian reasons.

You could always do that yourself. I did it with a sequence in the last season of 24 and it went down terribly well with my ladyfriend.

The amount of time this article has languished
without a first probably indicates just how much anybody cares about the show. Hugh Laurie's Hughe Laurie, by the way. He's an ac-tor.

No, I really can't get Match Point. I can see that a lot of effort went into it and it does build up well but I dislike the characters so much that I'm really gunning for someone completely extraneous to come and shoot the fuck out of them all.

Noooooooooooo, I can't stand Match Point. It's probably because I hate Rhys Meyers and Johansson and the characters were flat.

True Blood

Woody Allen really brings out the hate in all mankind.

the AV Club updates start coming through at exactly the time I leave work. I invariably spend the entire evening catching up with them

Will it be updated to 1996 next year and so on? Because if it remains static at 1995 that implies that there was some sort of cultural zenith in or around 1995 and you need to start demanding answers. It may even be the crack in her armour. You can turn this one, Hayley!

This recurring quote is starting to make me chuckle like Starz did before nobody could figure out whether it was really Starz or not. Keep it up.

I read
"serf-serving".

I just read the bulk of the article properly, I didn't know he was in town today. I can guarantee he didn't come into Starbucks at lunchtime.

If I had a TV (aerial/license), I could watch it when it airs. But I don't! Win.

Let me aid you with that terrible case of cancer.

Despite the phrase
"a sex swing is just a sex swing" featuring in the review, I think I'm giving this one a miss. It also reminds me of the trailer for that Cairo film you put up recently.

I spent a long minute hoping that the 14 fingernails were broken on at least two separate oven-cleaning jaunts.
