I represent Just For Men and you and I should have a serious talk.....

There’s a wonderful deli in Bologna, Italy, which claims to have produced the longest, complete slice of parma ham in the world, metres and metres of it and the photos they have of the process and the finished item are very impressive, but for some reason the Guinness people refuse to recognise it

A Mint Aero is one of the lesser-known sybaritic pleasures of life.

No states going for fried eggs and beer?

Yep, in the public library, looking up on the computer ‘Countries with which the US has no extradition treaties’.

This is deeply intriguing. Finding the cake decorations is rather moving, and the muskrat is borderline hilarious / disturbing. But hiding the money in the freezer? From whom? And since I imagine it was a decent amount of $$$ for selling a tractor, how could she forget it?

As in The Texas Book Suppository?

‘And to Michael Flynn, if you’re reading this, you’re a pathetic gormless lying fucking idiot who couldn’t find his own arse with wing mirrors, landing lights and a man waving a red flag, and wouldn’t recognise the truth if it moved next door and buggered your dog’.

Kudos for use of ‘chiaroscuro’. 

I came across Devil Story after finding a truly demented railer for it on a bootleg VHS of some horror pic in the late 80s and became determined to somehow track it down. There was, obviously, no Amazon those days, and it seemed it had only be released in France and Belgium at that time, so on a trip to Paris I tried…

‘... and most technical Oscars aren’t considered when looking at whether a movie is Oscar bait.’ A very good point, and I bet few filmgoers actually know that Mad Max: Fury Road won six of them, all technical, at the 2016 awards, the biggest haul of any film that year.

Looking forward to this, which is playing in the London Film Festival in a couple of weeks. Interestingly a lot of directors drop the Porter scene, believing the comic tone doesn’t suit the rest of the drama. Those who want a rather offbeat interpretation should hunt down Joe MacBeth, an entertaining and quite…

U remember a comedian saying years ago that he had sold his house and had the terrible urge to paint something like STOP ME BEFORE I KILL THEM ALL!!! in huge letters in red paint on one of the bedroom walls and then redecorate the room with really bad wallpaper so that the new owners would have to tear it all down and…

Not my invention but a friend had some leftover mac and cheese, not really enough for a full serving, so put it between two slices of bread with a few shots of hot sauce and into the George Foreman. Said it was great, but also admitted he’d also had quite a few beers beforehand.

Puttnam almost immediately put the skids under himself by arriving at Columbia and announcing he didn’t like sequels and wanting to cancel Ghostbusters II, which was in early pre-production. He had some very ambitions and ideas and plans but didn’t know how to play the Hollywood studio game

‘...move the needle’. I like what you did there. 

If Casper had got the vaccine he wouldn’t be a friendly ghost now!

Strongest beer I’ve ever drank was a special bottled release from the German Eku brewery, which came in at 22%. This was some years ago, and Eku still makes some good beers coming in at between 8-11%, but I haven’t seen anything as strong as this on their inventory for some time.

It’s all legume-related fun and games until one of these stupid fuckers gets shot...
