Grow up. You write opinion pieces and publish them on a popular website but do not believe anyone has the right to judge you - even though I haven't 'judged you' so much as offered an opinion on your article. Good luck with that. And I use the word whores to describe a group of women (all chosen because of their

The depiction of The Mandarin was perfect, and a much-needed injection of wit in what was an otherwise leaden film. The last 30 minutes were interminable.

okay, plasticised victims.

The article mentions The Detectorists, a warm-hearted, slow-burn, comedy drama starring Mackenzie Crook and Toby Jones as metal detector enthusiasts. It's a beautiful show that's good to watch if you're tired of irony and cynicism. It is probably on the Humanist Society list of recommended viewing.

Becca James, I note you didn't contribute to the 'Can Hollywood Move Past Body Shaming' article, but are happy to endorse a magazine that will forever be associated with a creepy old guy who lived in a mansion filled with plasticised whores. It's still a fucking cheesecake wank mag, Becca.

FFS you're joking, right? Next you'll be telling me Michael Bay is directing a biopic of Nick Drake.

Yes, this. Is it really too soon after the deluge of critical acclaim that greeted its release to state, unequivocally, that Hateful 8 was a boring, overlong, pile of shite?

Most people, regardless of their status, are wage slaves. They know this, and especially resent people like Jimmy who seem not to care, because they care so deeply about status, advancement, money, etc. If you have, like Howard, spent a lifetime suppressing your true ambition because… (insert reason here)… it is

Yes, I couldn't figure why Sicario was so lauded. It has one good set-piece and not much else. Blood Father looks like an undemanding, unpretentious action movie starring a grizzled Mel Gibson, making it immediately better than the female-starring festival of machismo that is Sicario.

Only saw this today with my children and thoroughly enjoyed it. A total joy from beginning to end. I'm even willing to forgive the Shakira tune, as simplistic as the movie is sophisticated.

Plodding? Are you having a laugh? This episode managed to whip through more plot in 43 minutes than the fairly zippy UK version manages in 2 hours. The editing was brutal in an effort to fit everything in. As an exercise in concision I have yet to see many better examples. The twist at the end was the icing on

I'm not sure a self-righteous, non-smoking, non-drinking, snowboarding 50 year-old man child is really Louis' kinda guy. I don't much like Simon Pegg. He has become the very thing he used to take the piss out of.

My mild dislike and disdain for tattoos comes from having grown up in a traditional, blue-collar, fishing port, where the only people who had tats were the trawler men. Trawler men are not known for their sophistication, intelligence, or beauty, so I find it difficult to associate those qualities with, for example,

The music used in the trailer is enough to tell me that this is another generic, by-the-numbers, lazy, unimaginative, piece-of-shit remake.

Now that

witness the truth drug of fame coursing through Ricky Gervais' veins.

worst editorial meeting ever.

When a great TV series comes to the end of its run the enjoyment is always tinged with melancholy, a sadness that comes from knowing the experience cannot be repeated. Sure, you can watch it again but it won't have the same impact. I feel like that after watching a single episode of True Detective. I didn't see a

True Detective is graced by great sound - the mixing, music supervision, and score are all impeccable.

McKellen once told how he would approach someone he found attractive by asking 'What's the difference between a sausage roll and a blow job?' Upon getting the reply 'I don't know', McKellen would promptly invite them to join him for a picnic.
