Hitler is a comedy staple here in Britain. I think it's the disconnect between knowing how truly monsterous the regime was and how much danger the country was in, and seeing the cartoon bad guys with (as Mitchell and Webb point out) skulls on their hats and this ranting bug-eyed leader.

It didn't matter whether the body had been embalmed, autopsied or chewed by raccoons - they just needed to switch out Delroy's body with one that looked enough like it. Once it's not Delroy's body, Ava and Boyd are off the hook.

An alternate view might be that he's still patching together his life, covering over the old holes his rotten father left everywhere. And he's terrified that in the end, he's going to be just like his father - a manipulative, venal asshole. The adjascent graves have been hanging over Raylan since episode one.

Bill Whatshisface RIP, we shall never see his like again etc

I would kill for another 6ths album. Kill, I say!

But Rick's not a born or trained leader. He's a moral man who takes the burden of the people under his wing very seriously indeed. Handing over Michonne is a terrible idea and a non-starter, he says as much to Hershel, but he also feels duty bound to consider it as an alternative to the almost certain deaths of some

Clutch with our left, accelerator and brake with our right. I have tried driving automatics with my left and it's pretty difficult, but not impossible.

It all adds up to a funky situation.

I agree - the pleasure of it is not the (very very slim) jokes, but in the energy and professionalism of Timberlake's performance. It's hard to dance and sing at the same time anyway, but in a massive goofy costume doing stuff that probably wasn't written three days earlier live it's flippin' unbelievable.

And weirdly, the gun mechanism and heat shielding required to make this anywhere close to feasible would mean that her breasts would have to be small.

Sledge Hammer did it in this documentary I watched.

I find this hard to believe - Californian culture is so prevalent in tv and movies that even I, a Brit who has spent exactly one weekend in San Francisco, understands that in California you drive everywhere and everyone talks about driving all the time.

I mostly agree with this. Die Hard 2 has some wonderful bits - John Amos heel turn, McClane getting on and then off Franco Neros plane, William Atherton chewing it up in the air, any of the stuff in the control tower - but it's just doesn't cohere as well. I am certain however that the rescue of Esperanza is not

Well, I saw it and it's bad. It's not completely abysmal, but it is a massive let down after the previous films. There's no innocent bystanders in peril (except the ones that McClane uncharacteristically puts in harms way by driving over them), no backroom dudes trying to fix things and worst of all, McClane isn't

One of the best things about the third one is that Simon Gruber's plan isn't really about revenge on McClane, it's just about stealing gold. He doesn't even really seem to care about actually killing Willis at all until he catches up with him at the very end.

I'm going to go and see this because I like all the others (DH > DH3 > DH2 > DH4). I've got no illusions over diminishing returns and I will see it with a hopeful heart, but I am concerned about one missing element in it.

His "Have you got her now? Ya sure?" to the henchman when Lucy fights back is tremendous.

I'm not sure this is true. John McClane is phemonenally lucky (as well as tough) all the way through the first three, and what he actually does on the plane (4 foot drop on to the tail, hang on for five seconds,10 foot jump off) is way less physically risky than the subway crash, the water spout or the bridge drop in

I'm not saying I disagree with you, but it's possible you might not be using Twitter correctly.
