This means the whore community know where you live. Sleep tight, Terry.

Me too. My day was ruined just by reading the sentence, never mind seeing the film, which I won't.

As a child I just read the Target novelisations of Doctor Who over and over again. I no longer love these, though. 
So, Stephen King for me, as a teenager: Salem's Lot, The Stand, The Shining, Pet Semetary. These still get reread on a regular basis.
A bit later, Martin Amis: Money and London Fields widened the scope of

Liked for 'RIP and all that, but …'

Yeah, Iago tops the list of shits.

In the DT Max biog, it turns out that Infinite Jest was even longer when first submitted, like 400 pages longer. Wallace thought this version explained the plot connections more clearly, and was therefore an easier read, despite the additional length. Boy oh boy, with the 20th anniversary coming up in a few years, I'd

Macbeth, maybe, because he knows he's doing wrong and will suffer for it, but goes ahead anyway?

Yeah, she looks quite cruel. But a 'sweet and innocent' looking Lady M works as well, like Francesca Annis in Polanski's version.

SPOILER, but the decapitation at the end of Polanski's version is incredible - as the head comes off, the hands go up as if to catch it. I made an involuntary moaning sound when I saw that.

Seconded. I thought Magic was brilliant too. And Devils and Dust. More than half of Working On A Dream is fine. And the live show is tremendous.

Oliver Reed was friends with Keith Moon for a while back there in the 70s. Once, in an effort to cut down their unabashed drinking, they got themselves a tortoise, put the whisky bottle on top of it, and sat at opposite ends of the room, shuttling the creature between them. 
I don't know how long that lasted before the

"You Just Haven't Donated It Yet, Baby."

My (UK) copy of the Chopper DVD has a commentary track by the real Chopper Reid himself. Quite amusing, I seem to recall. Great film all round.

You're the only one who sees them as crooked …

I would hope you were a fan, with a name like that, @TheMagicRat:disqus.

Rude Boy is worth it for the beginning of I Fought The Law - Joe with his back to the audience, in front of the drums, head down, thrashing the Telecaster … that's a rock star, should aliens ever ask.

I write and I also teach Creative Writing in the UK, if that's a help to anyone.

We Brits are perpetually confused about matters sexual.

I think it's legitimate to compare them as crime writers, the way you can compare, say, blues guitarists. They're drawing from more or less the same toolbox to build more or less the same structure - so the question can be asked, which is the more convincing finished work? 
Plus, it's interesting and fun, and it takes

Let's hope Finnegan's Wake crops up soon.
