i can honestly say i saw no hint of incest until i read about it on the av club. now of course i see it everywhere.
also, i love poached eggs.

I've seen a screener of this movie at it's worth watching for the haunting final sequence, where the camera pans slowly across a pile of dead exotic animals while "Tiger Feet" by Mud is playing in the background.

would it be too dickish to suggest that Bale did this for completely cynical reasons? He's just accepted a huge paycheck from a Chinese bank so he pulls a little stunt to fortify his anti-establishment credentials.
Reminds me of those celebrities who gave their Gadaffi money to charity after they were found out.

"Totes lamo" - C Hitchens 2011

Hitchens to Hannity:
"you took up all the time for my answer with your long, rather un-lettered question"
Priceless.

Oh Jesus don't remind me. It's next year and we're not nearly ready. There'll be riots and strikes and terrorist attacks.

I got hold of it (via unscrupulous methods) and started watching it and it's pretty good. A better than average cop show with a good cast. The weird thing is that Mr Lewis is the comic relief. A fruit obsessed zen spouting ex-con detective.  He actually plays funny very well.

Is this still the case or have they learned to speak in turn?

blue tit, brown booby and shag.
real birds. good name for a law firm.

you blowhard!

anyone else think that "waffles" was way too small?

once again Blossom steals the show. her delivery of the "cellmates" line whilst rummaging through the clothes-bin was priceless.

There's nothing more subjective than comedy. I bought "Potty mouth" and found it incredible weak. There was about 10 minutes of new material, interspersed with Dough reading out tweets and crowd work. rip off.

"blort" nearly killed me. Literally. I was listening to it whilst driving and laughing hysterically.
also the susan boyle bit was incredible.

I don't think he has a regular gig since Joe Cornish deserted him for Tintin.

no discussion of HIGNFY can continue without mentioning Piers Moron. His calamitous appearance on the show was an instant classic. Ian Hislop slapped him down several times and was rewarded by being targeted ruthlessly by Piers and his tabloid for years afterwards. A couple of clips:
