I don't like 2001 much and think it's acclaimed for the wrong reasons. Looks great, of course.

Have the prefects turned up to let us know they hate and definitely aren't bitter about Ferris Bueller?

I watched that a long time ago and thought it was great but had no idea it was him. I'll have to watch it again and see if I recognise it as him.

Because women are only interested in money. Am I right, fellas?

Coral and Gweniffer shared a room in my dorm and living next to me was an African guy named Prince James.

Million Dollar baby is legitimately a masterpiece though.

E-MO-TION B Sides is a triumph too. EP of the year.
