I was wondering whether any of the US readers would notice that Sean has his racial stereotypes mixed up.

For a whole site of snarksters, everyone here seems surprisingly willing to hand out mainstream credibility to Sasha Grey. Yes, she's a massive star in her own field. Yes, we all appreciate the, er, work she does. But can we please leave that in the grubby little box where it belongs? The one that smells funny?

Blagged my way into Trainspotting when I was 13. Yes sir.

What Ktotwf said. Why people rag on TS and give T3 the benefit of the doubt, I will never understand.

I have a feeling I know what happened to Michael Bay's recently-decommissioned jive-talking transformers. A little retooling and they can come back as The Termin***ers.

I would have found their relationship touching if only Rose weren't a stock magical negro. I thought Lost had enough of its own mythos not to need a mystical black woman to gaze at the horizon and explain wistfully that she Just Knows that Bernard is still alive, Just Knows the island will make her better, and so on.…

Well, the iDose sound is better than having to listen to rock snobs debate whether electronic or ambient sound is "real music". So at least it's got that.

That movie made me weary of Tarantino.

I haven't seen The Day After, but when the day comes and the sirens go off, anyone who has seen Threads will be standing in the middle of the road praying to die.

I always loved that line - particularly since I once whupped a bullet at chess. And I let him play white.

I was going to say Monkey Island 2, but then I checked and it has an epilogue showing that actually it wasn't a dream. I guess I didn't stick around long enough for that.

I usually find it's easiest just to say a wizard did it.

@The Timmy: still here? OK - yes, there's only one N-bomb. But it's still racist. And it's a rant. QED.

Immaculate Misconception FTW, with an honourable mention to Id for making that line funny for the first time ever.

@Archmage: it's even better in other countries, where they have no idea how that name is perceived. Apparently in Italy there's a whole generation of Kevins and Sharons just reaching drinking age.

No Shantel, it's retarded when white people do it too. No-one thinks a name like Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther Andre constitues "culture". (Especially not since it includes a completely spurious accent on the A "to make it more exotic").

It's generally best not to mcknow where it mccomes from when you someone mceat it.

Yes. What Mortimer said.

Nelson Mandela eh - what a cunt. Some people, you lend 'em 20 quid and then you don't see them for seven years.

Yep, thanks for that one Larry. I'm definitely taking that one home with me.
