In response to their total lack of ethics I will never listen to Keith and the Girl, and in fact will choose to imagine and promote it as a podcast run by a morbidly obese convicted child molester begging for public acceptance in exchange for potentially revealing the location of his last victim, known only as "The

In the spirit of iconoclasm let's not forgot Gandhi's seething contempt for black people.

I had a cat once, I dropped a sofa on it. It was a write-off, so I stood on its head.

Narcisse sounds Caribbean. Is the concept of identifying someone's regional origin by their accent really totally inconceivable as a thing to happen outside of an 80 year old comedy film

Are you the guy who wrote his IMDB bio.

(MORE SPOILERS) I really can't agree about it being clichéd, or certainly not very clichéd. For a start I didn't expect a film about bank robbers to feature zero bank robberies, and pretty much all the acts of violence surprised me, particularly Joel Edgerton's early exit changing the stakes immediately. Even

The part where (SPOILER) she runs into Guy Pearce's defeated detective at the supermarket and dials up her genial mother guise to "saintly" is one of my favourite scenes in anything. Just the most grotesque way to taunt him.

He will have to inform someone that their father's dead right.

By Tony Montana-style I mean hopelessly self-destructive and bolstered by cocaine obviously.

Yes, this pussified "girl-power" society is truly responsible for generations of prissy self-entitled boy-men, as well as the Sandy Hook massacre. Thank God that Quentin is making his Tony Montana-style last stand for masculine self-expression.

Yes, adapting Infernal Affairs into a Boston-set black comedy was both minor and accidental.

"some heavy-handed symbolism, such as a potential snitch surrounded by pigeons in Trafalgar Square."
Hey! Don't talk shit about The Friends of Eddie Coyle. Although admittedly that was in Monahan's home turf.

…have you honestly never heard of the Middle Passage?

Even if they did I can't imagine why it would make it on there this year, I laughed more in any given five minutes of the first few series than the entirety of the current one. Moreover it began over TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO and since when did good British comedy not know when to make a dignified exit. Shit is flatter

Go for the director's cut. I think in total contrast to Bad Santa, the director's cut eliminating the introductory voiceover of Dark City (which basically hands you the film's plot developments) was universally regarded as A Smart Move.

Furio in the brothel is really just a tracking shot, even if it is more frantic than the typical camerawork and works well within that particular scene, for the reasons you give. I am sure I could have forgiven handheld if it was used sparingly for a similar purpose, rather than existing as a weird fleeting gimmick in

I know plenty of people didn't take to the poorly built up, rapidly played out "now Tony is a gambling addict" plot, or its contrived conclusion, or the Vito Jr. drama, but was I the only one who thought that the abrupt introduction of handheld camerawork was like the perfect marriage of shit that shouldn't be thrown
