Still one of my favourite games of all time. Occasionally I'll dig it out and only this and WWF No Mercy are the only things to pass the five minutes of nostalgia test - Buck Bumble doesn't get any further than the legit floorfiller theme tune on the main menu - and, not only that, I think it was the last good

My furthest memory in Banjo Kazooie is being really frustrated at trying to get the jigsaw piece on the rusty boat where the camera changes angles as you go through one particular door and if you don't change immediately, you either fall into the abyss or run out of time. I was so mad at my younger self when I got it

Nadal does it to feign frailty in an attempt to convince the world he isn't on gear.

"and we all want the website to do well, right?"

I watched Weird Science for the first time lately, because that and She's Having a Baby were the two John Hughes films I'd never seen, and couldn't believe not just how funny it was - Anthony Michael Hall especially - but how it's absolutely not the film I'd heard it was. Kind of like the backlash against Ferris

Resident Evil: Retribution is one of the smartest and most entertaining blockbusters I've ever seen so I can't wait for this one. The positioning as the last one in the series makes me wonder what Anderson and Jovovich have planned next. Are they joining one of the big franchises?

Nowhere near.

Few people have been so bad at switching from film to digital as Paul Schrader so I have no faith in this at all.

This seems like it'll be similar to the time the BBC had the options for no commentary and CBBC commentary for the World Cup and both were so popular compared to the normal commentary that they never did it again.

Have you ever been to America?

Last week was a real contrast on The Fighter and the Kid. I've been kind of amazed at how entertaining Brendan Schaub is nowadays after being introduced on The Ultimate Fighter as a bratty arse kisser but his response to Tyga bailing on the show is the bitchiest podcast I've ever heard. I can understand it when he

I always like the idea of the Olympics but I find it incredibly underwhelming. I respect the commitment and work ethic that goes into what the athletes do but if any of these things were even vaguely interesting, they wouldn't need to lump them all together.

In real life, he looks like an accountant with the proportions of an animé character but in the movies, when he's got a bit of an edge to him, he's a dime piece.

And don't forget the cameo from Gozer The Gozerian.

The guys trying to get over the wall followed by the kids jumping over the wall at the end is one of the biggest groaners I've probably ever seen.

No. I actually liked pretty much all of them up to 2008; it was the fallout of The Dark Knight and the Avengers franchising that soured me. I even though The Dark Knight was good in as much as it's a poor man's Michael Mann movie done up like a big summertime comic book movie, and I don't mean that in a condescending

Apparently neither was the competition for best supporting actor.

Were you expecting him to say he was going to fly out to Simferopol and get it all sorted out himself?

As in he's always been a good actor and is still alive after playing the 2000s' Tyler Durden.

Too old.
