I Am Kurious Oranj is a stone cold killer. But nothing else has really enthralled me in the way that album did.

It's really worth tracking down the full radio show That Mitchell and Webb Sound which preceded it and unusually ran concurrently with the TV series and is arguably better and certainly some of the sketches that do transfer across work better on the radio. It has the same team of actors and writers but was never a run…

If it's that party, when you get there it's just a cassette deck playing a poppier knock off of Visions and the only people around you are tedious arseholes.

I'm such a big fan of Visions and the Phone Sex EP with Blood Diamonds and her earlier work (which wasn't in the same league as Visions but still really good) and I was wary about this album after just how bad Go was and how it was such a big let down.

That's sort of why I don't mind the ending. It's their 10 mintues in the sun. We as anaudience deep down know their lives are bleak. It's never made explicit but it's clear Napoleon and basically everyone in that film has issues of one kind or another really serious issues, they aren't smart and they also are poor…

I think it's more notable because Mark Gatiss is writing it and Reece Shearsmith is his erstwhile partner as they were both in the wonderful League of Gentlemen. They started as a live sketch group and then made one of the best comedy series ever made which is a hybrid sketch show/sitcom set in the town of Royston…

Excellent. The cgi is high quality television cgi, for the most part really good. The big pull backs to scenery ranged from excellent to ok (the kind of equivalent of well painted backdrops years ago) and but that's a pretty minor aspect of it.

He's in the rather excellent Babylon, playing a complete unlikable bastard, almost the anti-Strange. Worth checking out if you haven't seen it.

I agree entirely. I love the book so much that it could never be what the book is but it is an excellent adadaptation so full of wit and charm and so wonderfully capturing so much of the books.

Kind of disappointed they skipped over the pineapples.

I loved the series however my biggest issue with it was how it reduced and unsymapthised Norrell far more as the plot went on and it's these last two episodes that really hammer that home. The flanderise him and turn him into basically a villain and someone who is incredibly unsympathetic whereas the book is at pains…

Who cares, being a good singer in a technical sense does not mean they are a good singer or have personality or presence. Most good singers are tedious to listen to. This film was great for it's live singing simply because musicals became overproduced bland messes reminscent of every song Disney has put in a film…

I think in this whole pay stuff agents have got off of the blame far too easily.

I was terrified it was going to be awful. It was going to be Man of Steel part 2 and who wants more of that utter garbage? However now it's looking like they are going for Batman and Robin 2 I;m now looking forward to it. That is still far and away the most entertaining Batman film and deserves a spiritual sequel.

I think the differences are not in strength, they are both very incredible and talented magicians (although neither a patch on the Aureate magicians) but in approaches and methods and just the way they think.

I'm now in two minds. I want to see it, I want more in that world before and after the events but the book is perfect, it's one of the best books I've ever read and a bit more age, experience and, knowledge and appreciation of traditional English folklore have only increased it's brilliance. My memory of it severely…

While I'm sure that is also part of the intention in describing it as such it isn't the only reason. It's never made explicit but there is a good chance there isn't foreign magic in the same way and magic and England and the English are special (and we are a bit fuzzy if that includes Scotland and Wales but probably…

The animated Genndy Tartakovsky clone was a triumph and tight action and effective minimalist storytelling.

Hold on, that's all over the St Anger album?

Don't know if Cuban Fury got a US release but it's worth checking out, a surprisingly good, charming and funny film and not shit even though everything about the premise screams it should be awful.
