We're all missing Pratchett a great deal, thank you. :(

I just want it to last long enough that I can die having witnessed a total solar eclipse. Come on guys, we've almost made it!

Hint: the USA is not the 'nation' they feel patriotism for.

Wait - amateur masturbationists? You mean I can get paid for it?

'Fascism', as a modern political concept, can't fairly be used to describe any ancient civilisation. Certainly neither Sparta nor Persia was a democracy, but then what the Greeks thought of as 'democracy' also wouldn't look very democratic to us.
The Persian Empire was at least multinational and multiethnic while…

The funny thing is, by the time of the 2010 Oscars, Cameron was the underdog. And I still think Avatar was a better film than The Hurt Locker (and Titanic for that matter), but I guess in Hollywood you only get that glory once.

True, but I'm not sure it really belongs on a 'ten best films' list. It's enjoyable fun, but too bloated and cheesy and broad to make an effective satire.

This list loses points for including Titanic, but almost everything else is a worthy candidate. I was particularly pleased by the inclusion of the little gem that is Irma Vep.

I know I'm not the only one who would totally have played an Itchy and Scratchy CD-ROM…

My dad's a country fan (which is probably even more uncool in the UK than it is in the US), and used to play his cassettes on long family car journeys. As such, 'Rhinestone Cowboy' was probably the first song I learned as a kid, and will always have a special place for me.

The True History of the Kelly Gang

On the AV club? Wow.

I don't get this one. Is it meant to be a parody of someone in particular?

PINO.

Honestly, I think I'd happily subscribe to a newspaper or news programme that simply never mentioned the T-word. There are all kinds of important news topics that simply get pushed out by trivial stories, thanks to the Trumpification of politics. (At the very least, I'd happily subscribe to a news source that vowed…

The BBC's commentary on last night's healthcare vote began: 'The arc of history is long, but it bends towards revenge'. Which was both funny and unusually snarky for them…

Is Hela the first female villain in an MCU movie? I think she might be, but most of their villains are so forgettable I'm sure I've missed a few.

So, has anyone seen the Truffaut version? Is it any good?

True. But this whole thing still seems pretty fur-ked up.

Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic, but I can't help feeling Trump's presidency is likely to end with the words 'before turning the gun on himself'.
