This passes for fun in the AV club? Color me dissapointed.

My bad, didn't see it the day he died.

No coverage of Frankie Knuckles death, so doubt that Rashad will get much of a look in.

This was a bit of an unexpected treat, not something I'd normally come across on the AV club.

His Ken Bruce is impeccable, https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Not too much of a stretch, Jarvis Cocker as the folk musician Petey in Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Singing that list of searches to 'Devil's Haircut' works a treat.

How Coenesque that the Numbskull trilogy has four movies.

Brand's too busy organising the revolution to take part in this.

Another take on Abacab from earlier this year here: http://nobilliards.blogspot… A blog covering every UK #1 album, currently up to July 1982.

Was hoping to see a review of 'The Double', maybe tomorrow?

Definitely the poorest of the Cornetto trilogy. The opening 20 minutes just drags. If I'm feeling generous it would be a a B-, though if I'm honest it's a C or C+ at best. Haven't been so disappointed at a movie since 'Quantum of Solace'.  Doesn't help that the character Pegg plays is a cockfarmer of the highest…

Dancing for Mental Health on this list and poor albums by Pulp and the Toy Dolls on the best of '83 list? AV Club you're losing it. Title track is one of the funkiest pieces of music released in the 80s and deserves being rescued from obscurity.

Disappointed that there's no mention of Gyles Brandreth's cameo appearance. I remember when we were watched it originally cheering when he appeared.

Had to look up the other two guys in the band. Big caveats on my 5 minutes of research. Assuming it's the same guy, Temple Clark is a notable storyboard artist and even gets thanked in a Dr Who episode. Pretty unusual name as google didn't come through with anybody else of that name.

I watched 'It Couldn't Happen Here' on Youtube (natch) recently. Really is quite an extraordinary work, which must have flummoxed a lot of their audience at the time. Sets new levels for pretentiousness but somehow it works mainly because it's blackly funny too. Would love to see the AV Club do a piece on it.

Can't imagine Snyder would ever do anything as emotionally devastating as the death of Jonathan Kent, or as funny as the Irish cops, when the boat is delivered to the precinct.

Down the Line:  'Are you one of those pretty bisexuals, or one those more mundane ones?" http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Absolutely, but I guessed that not all AV Club readers would be au fait with Anglo-Irish politics and British broadcasting censorship in the late eighties so thought a bit of clarification wouldn't go amiss.

In fairness to the BBC the decision to use actors to voice Sinn Fein politicians was a way round the government's decision to ban them from being broadcast on TV. It was actually an effective screw you to the Thatcher government at the time who were furious that the BBC were undermining there policy.
