Black Hole was a great film and Maximilian has to be one of the best (and most overlooked) movie robots ever.

Ramsay's at his best when explaining the economics of a restaurant. The looks of bewilderment on the faces of owners as he points out that their salads have a 5% profit margin are hysterical.

@Paul_Rudds_Beard - it's not a chav thing - my friends and I would wear our ties like that at school back in the 80s. It was just a mild form of rebellion at having to wear a tie.

Catually, I did mean "on". Oops.

As a Mini Cooper owner…
There's nothing practical about them at all. You can't fit anything in the boot, the back seats have less room than the original Minis, and as they're made by BMW they're fucking expensive to repair.

Best. Thread. Ever.

As a Brit living in America, I'm just fucking glad I'm 6,000 miles away from the nuptials of these parasites. For fuck's sake, Britain's bankrupt and has to shell out about 20 million on this? Jesus. Get the cunts to pay for it themselves.

What about The First 48? Following a team of detectives around as they try to solve a murder is about as real as it gets. Does it count?

Where's Elegant Victorian Lady to enlighten us?

I think Pawn Stars was the one where some idiot brought in a vintage WW2 Japanese rifle, an "expert" valued it at something like $5,000, the shop owner offered $1500 and the seller ACCEPTED IT. Duh.

Books
I can't wait til this question is asked again in 2036 and everyone's saying, "Remember books? Fuck, they were so bulky and took up so much space…"

Given enough tutoring to play one chord and use a shit-ton of effects pedals (in other words about 20 minutes), *anyone* could play rhythm guitar for U2.

Star Wars, when I was five. I can also remember seeing Superman when I was six.

Blocks
"running New York Undercover and Prison Break in three- to four-hour blocks every day, and giving over nearly the whole of Saturday to the latter."

Cy - I don't know. They honestly all look the same to me - leathery and unnaturally orange.

Basically, yes. But it's one thing to see them act like that on TV, which has a tendency to bring out the worst in people (especially on a reality show), and then see them acting exactly like that in real life.

I've met these "women"
Unfortunately my friend's parents live next door to one of these hideous hags. They (the parents) held a big retirement party for my friend's dad. Much fun was being had by all until half the RWoOC cast, along with assorted hangers-on, literally let themselves in the front door because, hey,…

This site does a fairly good job of demolishing Garrison and Stone:

I thought it reflected how the IRA terrorists worked in England during the 70s and 80s - cells of two or three operatives who all received orders from the same commanders but had no idea of how many other cells there were, or who was in them.

"professional celebrity vulture Dr. Drew"
Never a truer word said.
