Stephen King is a profoundly bad writer who should be grateful that Kubrick wanted to make a film out of one of his leaden works. In 100 years time this movie will be all anyone remembers King for.

10 reasons why Enterprise is best avoided:
1, The Temporal Dull War
2, Charles 'Why I do declare this is the best deep fried catfish I ever had the pleasure of eating' Tucker the Third.
3, Dear Doctor
4, The Insectoids
5, 'As an attractive female alien I am obliged to verbalise how attractive and fascinating I find you…

If I were the fourth official I'd have asked Jurgen how many more minutes he wanted to watch the Belgians taking the piss out of his team!

Yeah, if we were ever going to be able to win it this year we needed to go out of the Champions League early, and that's why I was pretty pleased to get Bayern in the draw. We were never going to win the ECL so getting a team we were just never going to beat makes it all the less galling to go out at this stage.
Sanogo…

Oh Fergie was a genius, no question. As much as I hated him, he could win titles with a pretty poor bunch of players, relatively speaking. Wenger has only ever won the PL with all-time great teams, and to be fair until this year, Mourinho's PL Titles came with phenomenal squads. United are currently exactly where…

Charlie Brooker who once memorably described Morgan as looking like a Teddy Bear with Bell's Palsy.

His bizarre interventions into the England cricket team this winter were worth it though when he had to face an over of 90 mph throat balls from Brett Lee after one of the day's play.

As a Gooner, it is genuinely strange that we currently sit 1 point off the lead in the League, are in the FA Cup still and are only being knocked out of the Champions League by the best team in the world, and it still seems like a season of disaster. I can't quite get my head round it. Maybe it's because when we win…

3>4>2>1 Though I find it hard to think of 1 as being of a piece with the other series, it's just so different - and nowhere near as good.

Varla was called Ivy in the BBC series. Exactly the same character.

There is no letter in our alphabet that can accurately grade such a heinous crime against humanity…

He was phenomenal in that, as was Kate Fleetwood as Lady MacBeth.

'…or even the widely regarded pinnacles of the histories like Richard III or Henry V'

'…but it’s actually an town in West Yorkshire (wherever that is)…'

The AV Club writers tend to mention this so much as to seem quite obsessed.

JEWELLERY, YESTERDAY and DEMOCRACY are just a few (of only a few) examples of Countdown Conundrums that I have solved. Just the fact I remember that shows what an achievement that felt like as a teenager. I even remember that DEMOCRACY was jumbled into COMEDYCAR.

Especially the revelation that Katrine is about the only person in the Western World who has a VHS player set up and not gathering dust in the loft.

If you're eligible for a free eye-test where you are I'd book myself in if I were you.

The Pear Cider bit is incredible. Personally I love anytime he reads out incoherent Below the Line comments delivered in a kind of inexpressive/deadpan way - especially good are the youtube comments made following the death of bin Laden.
