Fear of Flying is great, but there's even better on the album. As others have said, it's not all like this, as some of it is an evolution of the more straightforward psych stuff on the first album, rather than the more processed style of FoF. But it's a wonderful album.

Yes! Bowery Electric were the absolute cream of the post rock crop, and all three albums are totally essential. Beat, however, is the masterpiece. Without Stopping still sounds astonishing to this day.

According to the credits last night, it looks like a Sky Atlantic / BBC America co-production (filmed in Hungary, bizarrely).

The Tunnel was great.
This is Jinsy is bollocks.
First episode of Fleming was…not bad.

Bond gets told by M to ditch the Beretta near the start of the novel of Doctor No, as he gets it stuck in his holster at the end of From Russia with Love, *SPOILERS FOR A 60 YEAR OLD BOOK* leading to his almost-fatal poisoning.
Bond initially doesn't like it either, but they introduce an arms expert who calls the…

Would've liked a little more on Barton Fink. It's my favourite Coen Bros film too, and Goodman is absolutely astounding in it: makes the transition from salt-of-the-earth to terrifying lunatic the most natural thing in the world.

The Complete Singles Collection is great, although even the most ardent fan can probably live without about half a dozen versions of A Love From Outer Space (great song that it is nonetheless).
Start with Baby Milk Snatcher. It's astonishing.

I've seen the trailers for I, Frankenstein and was pretty well convinced it looked like the worst film of all time.

Total and utter bollocks.

Excellent work, and well done.
However, surely a man so heavily invested in music in the first place would have Unknown Pleasures in their collection already? Come on.
Also, if you're such a fan of Hall & Oates, why did you have to go buy everything they've ever done? Didn't you have some of this stuff already? If you…

I too, am a big fan of change. However, I'm really annoyed that there isn't a function for checking the shows I'm following. Being in frosty Blighty, we tend to be a few weeks (or even months) behind the shows in the US. So, for example, we're just starting season 2 of Person of Interest here; if I want to check the…

Michael Lonsdale is a terrible limp lettuce in Moonraker, and not a patch on the dynamic, buccaneering Hugo Drax in the (far superior) novel.

I see what you did there.

Synth-pop a far smaller sub-genre than grunge? Maybe in your house Jason, but the rest of the world might have something to say about that.

Another vote for A Stairway to the Stars. Came on here expecting the feature to be about some crappy pop-punk Kubrick-worshipping guff peddled by four speccy dorks from Cleveland in bad plaid, and am quietly overjoyed it's about The Caretaker. Bravo O'Neal.

In the next episode, the excellent Miguel Ferrer muses that maybe Bob is simply 'the evil that men do'. That's a terrifically important line for me, as it's one of the few times one of the characters suggests that there's no such thing as Bob, the Black Lodge, etc.

Skullfucking for some, miniature American flags for others!

@avclub-c65a46c16b70bf886e62e791cd4a80b3:disqus  I agree the first fight with Nick Frost in the pub toilet is great: if you haven't seen the trailer and don't know what's coming, it's funny and unexpected. But after that, there are too many of them and they're too same-y. And there's no longer any shock value.

I actually thought it was a bit of a let-down, unfortunately. I like the scope (and the constant references to The Sisters of Mercy), but the gags just weren't there.

Yeah, because a man going by the name 'CashRulez' cast-iron guaranteed to know what the hell he's talking about when it comes to music.
