Erm…
I really have no idea what to make of that interview. Some of it seemed like he was being funny, but it didn't translate well. The Africa trip thing did, but the stuff about Robert Kennedy Jr. and the fact that the law hadn't changed after his interview was a joke, right? It has to be. And does anyone really

You two are the dumbest bounty hunters I have ever seen! You couldn't even deliver a bottle of milk!

Don't you say a fuckin' word.
One of the best line readings ever. I crank that out when people are pissing me off.

James Patterson is dumber than a sack of lobotomised Dan Browns.

Once you've gone through it, you can get into the Kurt Wagner mindset easily from then on. Is A Woman is really underrated. It's very soothing.

I bought Clouds Taste Metallic on a whim a few years back, and hated all of it except for This Here Giraffe. What was all the praise about? Why do people love this cacophonous ruckus?

HAH!
Mr. Murray, you were talking about something like this on Twitter last week and like a dope I said you should do a Q&A on it, and whaddayaknow, you were going to do one all along! You scamp.

Last Night is great stuff (Guantanamera!), and being involved with Blindness seemed like a logical next step after that. I also liked McKellar's small role in eXistenZ.

danrimage, thank you for saying the unsayable and pointing out that Fawlty Towers is less than perfection. Clement and LeFrenais have often seemed to be passed over for a lot of praise, which is usually given to Galton & Simpson and Cleese & Booth without pause. All terrific writers, but shows as unambitious as

@GhaleonQ, that post was a scream of despair over the general state of the BBC, both external and internal. It's not just the programming, but the timidity of the corporation post-Hutton Inquiry.

@OrangeCrush, the only existential angst it illuminates is that of a rudderless BBC, pushed and pulled from one bad decision to another by a frustrated public and a corrupt government.

Apparently, Kyle, it was too on the nose. Humanity is awful and let us show you how awful at great metaphorical length.

For the sake of pointless argument:

I'm so glad I read that interview. Not because it gave me empathy-hives, obviously (Tasha Robinson is a saint for putting up with that shit). I just know that now I will never ever bother reading Cerberus. I don't care if the first few volumes are as good as War and Peace (which it totally is, if Sim is to be

Admit it, you were listening to Sir Mix-a-Lot when you were writing that post.

Wasn't Sea Change about a break-up, not a divorce? That would exclude it.

The best thing about "My God. What have you people done?" was that Olivia Williams' next line, "What have YOU done?" was delivered with such disgust it was as if she was passing judgement on his performance. And he was no better on BSG.

My heart soared with the Suburban Commando mention earlier. Too fucking right.

Speed Reading Is Bad
"The scenes in which he fucks with her, brutally, without her knowing it have been reliably funny.'

Plus, when Paul's patients get mad at him, they're projecting their own insecurities about themselves into him and then yelling at him about it. When Rosie gets mad at him, it's because she's mad at him. That will definitely hurt a guy.
