They were kinda cute before she became Lana. They're just bigger now.

In the sense that they look like they need to be stretched round something?

Malcom Tucker is, of course, the Pope of Profanity, and the appropriately-named Al Swearingen's diatribes in Deadwood are wonders of distilled and gilded filth (especially for those who chiefly know actor Ian McShane from the family-friendly UK TV series, Lovejoy). But my favourite sweary moment is from an era when…

About that spinoff title:

Saul's outburst at Fara may well be 'one of the dumbest fucking scenes in Homeland history', but only if you view it solely as an unwelcome and mistimed revelation that he's got a bit of residual racism lurking in the closet (dusky wife notwithstanding). I think that's a fairly shallow interpretation of the scene.…

Ask Shirley Crabtree

I kid you not. Check out Shirley Crabtree. (There might have been a bit of a 'boy named Sue' thing going on with the naming, possibly…)

Betty Draper did a topless pic? How did I miss that moment?

Ok. So first there was Mandy, now there's Tracy, too. In the UK these names would never be given to male offspring (unlike Shirley and Hilary), so now I run the risk of being constantly distracted by the need to point at the actors and snigger "he got a girly name, snurk snurk". Why oh why could they not have been…

I'll be frank. The only reason I watched Game of Thrones is so that I can enjoy the review pages on the AV Club. So, I finally 'bought the box set' and filled my boots.

Well, I finally made it to the end of series 3, and now here I am dabbling in the 'pro' version of these reviews, even though I haven't read the books.

How is it possible to look 'too much like Alison Brie'?

If you're watching a film recreationally (rather than as a critic or student) and part of you is thinking 'wow, what an amazing tracking shot' or 'what an interesting composition', it's generally a sign that the film maker has fallen short in some way*. The best techniques and effects are the ones you don't notice…

Jesse.

Ah, the joyous innocence of the UK. Here, faggots are meatballs or bundles of kindling. And gay means happy.

Isn't that called a prolapse?

This one is fun because it's a game we can all play. Whoopi Goldberg's signature role is on some TV opinion show called The View, apparently. Not too edifying for British readers, but hey, if that's what IMDB says…

Let's be clear that Wild Wild West was more specifically "Men In Black 2 in the Old West". In the first Men In Black film Will Smith was a kind of goofy side-kick to Jones' more authoritative lead character. By the time MiB 2 came out, Smith wasn't doing 'goofy side-kick' any more and had graduated to 'sassy…

Does Pam Dawber count? Half count? Mork and Mindy was kind of the opposite to this feature's brief, having an overwhelmingly interesting central character in what was otherwise a dull sitcom filled with stock characters and uninspired situations. Which was the whole point, really. They tried to bring some other…

He has daughters? I should check that out…
