After watching TDKR last week, I was drawn to Schumacher's Batman and Robin when it turned up on UK cable last night, having missed it in the Cinema. As per the prevailing critical consensus it was, for the most part, eye-wateringly poor, but one thing surprised me… the vastly superior realisation of Bane! How much…

The main problem with Division Bell is that it sounds like a Floyd tribute band doing pastiches of items picked at random from the entire Floyd back catalogue. King Crimson pulled off a similar trick with The Power To Believe.

OK. So you warned us about that Beach Boys/Full House clip. And then I went ahead and watched it anyway. Now I have diabetes. It's depressing to think that this clip will now exist until the end of time.
