"About time!" - nobody, ever

That montage, Emma Thompson's getting her shit together after having a secret cry, and Bill Nighy and his manager's whole subplot are the only genuinely affecting moments in that movie.

They really are just so incredible, and worth it alone for finding out that Sondheim uses a rhyming dictionary.

Oh hell yes, GK is one of the most amazing miniseries ever.

Anyone who doesn't love Daisy is a fucking idiot.

The scariest thing I've ever seen in my life is when I was 13 and watching Twin Peaks as it was airing, and the scene where (SPOILER) Leland looks in the mirror and turned into Bob. It's the basic architecture for my nightmares ever since.

"available on DVD?!" Someone get me a time machine!

Fair warning: if you binge-watch all the Black Books over a weekend, be prepared to walk away with a scorching case of the want-to-fucks for Dylan Moran.
