Spin Doctors. Little Miss Can't Be Wrong. Is that too obvious?

I don't recall Mountain ever again reaching the heights they scaled with Nantucket Sleigh Ride. They had clearly accepted this limitation when they recorded the live Twin Peaks set, of which almost two thirds is taken up by an extended version of that signature track. There is something else worth listening too on…

Yay, thread!

For me it's got to be Leigh, the character played with exquisite spaced-out insousiance by Laurie Zimmer in John Carpenter's Assault on Precinct 13. Go Laurie!

Get rid of explicit sex and toilet scenes in mainstream movies.

I wish…

I thought the main competition this year was between a French dog and an Irish cock.

Well, hey! I really don't much enjoy live shows because of all the people and stuff, but after four decades as a King Crimson fan maybe it's time I got myself along to a gig before Robert Fripp finally discovers the lost chord and disappears up his own fundament.

Well, hey! This makes me glad I saw the Monkees last time they toured as a foursome. One of them's bound to die soon. My money's on Peter Tork going first. He always looked a bit sickly.

Sorry to hear you're having trouble remembering your 'gleeful shock', Mike. I still vividly recall the immense, cathartic sensation of relief/release that washed over me when Mr Blonde got iced. It was like urgently needing to take a monster dump, sweating, touching cloth, ringpiece cramping from the effort of keeping…

Mm. Understated. Understated performances, understated script, understated denoument. The whole fucking thing was so understated that it was hardly there. A faithful Le Carré adaptation was never going to be as action-packed as 'Enemy of the State', but I was hoping at least for something a bit less torpid than this…

A little late to the party here, but that never stopped me before. This is an OK film with some decently funny moments, but it's let down by the ending. Instead of wrapping up the story properly like Pixar would, they just go for a big old song and dance number which, frankly, is a fucking disgrace. Oh look at the cgi…

Don't knock trains. They'll be the world's primary form of transport by 2075, barring any global disasters in the meantime.

Yup. If I had a Heather Morris does Britney cartridge for my ViewMaster I'd never leave the house.

The problem with 3D is that, on a deep and fundamental level, it is totally fucking with your mind.

For the best Lion King 3D experience, watch the stage show.

Profoundly Disappointed
Damn. This isn't out in the UK, but I've been looking forward to it since the first teasers appeared in the early spring. Fantastic concept, if taken straight-faced, but it sounds from your review like this is a dismal fuck-up and wasted opportunity, probably no better than Wild, Wild West.…

Isaac! You dirty dog!
Having recently re-read the original Foundation trilogy in all its flawed glory, I'm completely stoked at the thought of reading about Mr Asimov's efforts to bag a spousal blow job. Many years ago I had discussions of a similar nature with my own wife, wherein I was able to leverage her weakness…

Go for the deluxe version…
…with a second CD that features just the tunes without the ballast of words.

How about a 'Five out of Six' rule?
That 'five in a row' thing is pretty unforgiving. Genius and consistency seldom go hand in hand, and even the greatest artists can suffer creative hiccups, so I would propose that the test be relaxed to allow for one dud in a sequence of otherwise excellent releases. Thus John…
