Sticking to a country theme, Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone? by Charley Pride is a pretty good one. Also a fan of Lonnie Donegan's version of Fort Worth Jailhouse.

Ughhhh… I can hear it. Ughhhh… Now I'm thinking about my least favourite song about a Kansas city, too.

I got into one of the iTunes country stations a couple of years back and fell in love with Marty Robbins. His voice is so different from anything else in the genre, so elegant and enunciated that I was quite surprised when I finally saw a picture of the guy, looking every inch the classic country singer. He wrote some…

Sadly, due to the weird restricted network of childhood, I never played the first one. Even the second one I only got to play at my brother's friend's house. It was the best of times, it was etc.

Every single moment of this film makes me warm and happy. It's the Lego Island 2 of movies.

I'm English, but the same can be said of Christmas. Which, funnily enough, is a day best spent with a bowlful of chocolate coins watching Friends Thanksgiving episodes.

This is the worst Thanksgiving since Rachel made that British trifle.

The interaction between Frankie and Axl was so much like that between my brother and mum for the last couple of years (he is also about to leave for uni and he seems to be coming out of the asshole phase at last) that it was truly eerie. When Frankie yelled at Axl about calling her 'she', my heart almost stopped, it…

Oh yeah, that obviously makes considerably more sense. Oy veh.

I love this show. I can sit down and watch it and not laugh out loud that often (except at Sue. I'm like putty in Eden Sher's hands) but still come away feeling awesome. It's very well-observed, probably the only TV family that makes me go "Yep. That's us.", the characterisation is rich (and the continuity is…

I know what you mean, but her naivety in buying Mike's explanation that it was a bi-monthly cheque sort of made up for it, I thought.

Thanks for this - I'm completely fascinated with the early days of TV, so this series is very gratifying. I'm looking forward to maybe getting a Carol Burnett Show one sometime, because many of those sketches hold up magnificently, in particular the movie parodies. And the mention of the Phil Silvers Show reminded me…

"Well, I'm just an old fool, of course, and I don't know much about politics or the like, but I do know that America's kinda like this here crabapple tree, John Fitzgerald Kennedy."

Goddamn, maybe it's the osmosis pregnancy hormones, but I damn near cried reading that review. Kudos, Heisler.

While I'm enjoying all the episodes, low stakes nonwithstanding (like all of Season Two, which had nary a stake in sight for the most part), it bothers me a little that they have so many rich plots to mine, having taken the trouble to really develop these characters over the last 5 years, and yet they seem to recourse…

To be fair, there are palm trees along the seafront of my windy English hometown. Sure, they are a touch on the ragged side, but they've been there for ages. Certain types you can plant anywhere.

I apologise if I'm wrong but the voice doesn't sound right to me. The static yeah,sure, but the voice sounds like it's been played around with by a computer. I'm a pretty big fan of pre-war music and I've never heard a voice come out quite like that even on shitty equipment - sounds more like late 2000s Madonna. That…

It's also the root of my username, which very few people understand as not being related to love of animals (ironically, I don't really care for them). The scene where he leaves prison at the start is pretty fucking beautiful.

Agreed. Bought it on DVD not long ago having not seen it since I was about 16 and was blown away all over again. It's like it leaped forward a couple of decades to borrow its camerawork. Plus the writing is deliciously effective and the casting is phenomenal - one of the few films where every actor is completely…

Or The Amazing Dr Clitterhouse, which Bogart apparently referred to by what I'm sure you'll agree was a VERY childish mispronounciation.
