I've just watched that Napoleon DVD. Amazing, but it makes me sad that I didn't shell out to see it with the orchestra at Royal Festival Hall.

Great stuff! The bit about the Pepsi machine is the best - love the way Lee still can't get over it.

Cheadle gets it all the time when he's in the UK, which seems a bit harsh as he happily put his hand up at the time and admitted he fucked up

I thought Sean Astin's West Country accent in 'Lord of the Rings' was pretty good - but I'm from Newcastle.

I think Alex Jennings has been amazing as Edward too.

Oldman and Thewlis brought me in to the Potterverse

He's a bit lazy in this when he should've amped up the eccentricity.

Or 'favoured' amenable critics. I can think of a couple of occasions where review embargoes have been set, but certain ones have been allowed in order to spike the score.

As a-non Potter fan I thought this was surprisingly enjoyable. I liked the recreation of NYC and the supporting cast were cool - always nice to see Samantha Morton. I think Newt would've really suited Matt Smith, if he hadn't already done him, sort of, with The Doctor. The plotting was bit scrappy though.

I was holding out for Mambo Sun, in vain, unfortunately.

I was going to say pretty much all of the Hammer Films (although I like them), then I remembered the beginning of 'Taste the Blood of Dracula', when Roy Kinnear is wandering through the forest and he hears Dracula's screams.

'Eight Days a Week' is great, as is 'Rush'.

That's my favourite episode too: a great idea executed beautifully, with excellent performances.

'My mother was a rather atrocious woman, in her way…' Now that's economic character-building.

He's always great, but he's hilarious in 'Time Bandits'.

For some reason, I always listen to Taylor Swift's 'Red' and Carly Rae Jespen's 'Emotions' when I'm cleaning the bathroom (not a euphemism).

I remember some reviewer for one of the prequels, or maybe it was one of the Lord of the Rings films, describing overcrowded CGI scenes as 'Nerd Baroque'. I was surprised that didn't catch on.
EDIT: I originally typed 'Nerf Baroque' there. I know! Mad!

The John Williams music that gets my spine tingling is the passage from the 'Raiders'' score, from when Marion announces 'I'm your goddam partner,' to the arrival in Egypt. The way it moves from Indie's theme, to slightly tongue-in-cheek, but glorious travelogue music, as the plane flies over the mountains, to 'mystic…

On the Lennox tip, Eurythmics' 'Julia' from the 1984 soundtrack is one that gets me, so desolate and haunting.

That whole album is fantastic.
