And this comment just highlights their cross-over appeal, as ragtime midgets are a notoriously insular bunch.

Yee Yee, it's way too early in the morning for you to be getting dirty talking about nether regions.

It's especially heartbreaking given how supportive Tim Roth has been of ALL the TV shows you've done. He's no Mahervellous bandwagon-jumper, but I'm sad to see the reverse is not true.

Somebody get the screwdriver. Yee Yee's broke again.

Meh, whatever blows your skirt up, Vidor, I really don't care. I think I'll just stick to erring on the side of being nice.

Huh. I never knew that i and 1 was a speed freak. It sounds like he typed that out in about 13 seconds, which made it oddly compelling. There are some interesting points in there, though.

I fully plan to get it all eventually, Mr Upholster, but I can only afford so much Fresh & Onlys in my music queue at any given time. Plus, if Play It Strange is anything to go on, I want some time to savour each new one I buy.

I sort of see your point, Vidor, but personally I still think it's unnecessarily aggressive and petty to ask people NOT to say *spoiler* (we're talking about writing one word, here!). I'm not trying to be confrontational, but do you have a response to my common courtesy argument? Again, you don't NEED to say excuse me…

I came late to Play It Strange, but now I think it was one of the best albums of 2010. Which release would you recommend I pick up next, Mr Jambon?

I find it a bit amazing that people are getting worked up and angry that somebody types *Spoiler* before saying something about movies, even 50-year-old ones. Why? I'm sort of genuinely curious. It doesn't take that long to read the word, and if you know the movie, then keep reading, but it's a nice courtesy to people…

You know Lobsters, I know you get a bad rap around here, but reading that review, it kind of sounded to me like ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING happens in it. It's like when a kid's telling a story. 'So there's this man! And he's a DJ! But then he can't DJ any more because he's hurt! But then he goes to a priest to help! And,…

Oh, and profdragon, if you read the book you'll find out that 'to Goon' is slang speak for a certain sexual act that would take too long to explain, and 'Squad' is po-mo speak for family, so I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Hmmm, oddly I just finished reading this book yesterday, but was I the only one who was incredibly disappointed? I bought it as I liked the Keep and it sounded intriguing (even after reading the cautious B review in the AV Club) but found it distinctly underwhelming. Sure, it's ambitious in its scope, but at the end I…

You'd better listen to this guy. He's a professor.

There's a chippy where I used to live called 'New Cod on the Block'.

Halle Berry was in the Flintstones?!? Did she play the part of that rubbish disposal dinosaur?
Meh, no hate against Halle Berry. I just don't think rubbish disposal dinosaurs get the choice movie roles these days.

I like the poster. At least it's something different from usual movie posters.

Odd, I was just wondering about the usage of 'supergroup' over on the Cold Cave music review, which labelled a band a supergroup for having members from a bunch of (to my mind) fairly obscure hardcore groups. I always saw the term as only applying to bands made up of members of other big bands (either in sales, or in…

Nope, I didn't! I guess that's what I mean; shouldn't 'supergroup' also mean that there's at least a bit of a 'widespread' nature to the music? Is it really a supergroup if it's in an extreme niche? I know hardcore wasn't that much of a niche, but then again, these guys weren't members of the more well-known hardcore…

I'm no expert, Quirky Best Friend, but I don't think you're supposed to be drinking while you're giving birth, but what do I know? Maybe having a barman there would really make the experience more special.
