But. Ben Affleck. Animal crackers.
I'm glad you and your wife could forge quality memories together. But for me, it is a song forever tainted by that image.

But the Eurovision Song Contest also are completely aware of their campy value, witness: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I'd like to nominate Aerosmith's 'I don't want to miss a thing' for the following reasons:
1. it's awful to listen to
2. it was everywhere because of Armageddon
3. it was nominated for an oscar for some reason?!?
4. the video featured a Ben Affleck sexy-time/flirty scene involving animal crackers from the movie Armageddon…

Unfortunately my first thought was 'and whenever she's not on screen, people should be saying, 'where's Max?'' then the thought you had, pretty much.

Donna, picking about tipsily in an executive fruit bowl: "Now this here, this is a KEE-WEE. I hope I'm sayin that right. KEE-WEES are all fuzzy. Bit like a pear in taste. I give it…FIVE STARS!"

That scene, along with the one in Insidious with the masked figure, was ruined for me by similarities to The Mighty Boosh.

I dunno, this seems a bit of a trope - the villainous bisexual. I prefer the idea of the partnership happening alongside things, not Joe as a sexual predator (which he hasn't been before - more like romantic disaster/occasionally using sex as a weapon).

Pretty sure they could subvert this by having Ryan - who is obviously already drawn to Joe - be actually into him, and maybe have Joe be into him to? Basically I'd like to see more Bi representation again, and think it would lead somewhere far more interesting plot wise than Joe trying to take down Gordon and Mutiny…

I thought season one was deeply shaky but had promise. Season two built up some momentum, and the interactions felt genuine, not soapy or stereotypical Joe's massive monologues got cut way back too, which helped. No idea what's happening at the moment, but I find Donna and Cameron, a flawed couple of woman who are…

Here's the rougher parts of Glasgow in the 80s in some iconic pictures: http://www.vice.com/en_uk/r…

But the brand name does - it's known as Wall's in the UK. Also wrong about the picture (which I'm sure AV Club know) is that's it's from 1950s (or early 60's?) America. Glasgow in the 80s is a little more - eh, gritty, is the word I'd use.

There's a Miike Snow music video on that theme: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

They tried launching Golden Grahams here in the UK and it failed, mostly because we don't have Graham crackers - and pronounce it 'Grey-am' and it's a boy's name. It was like having 'Silver Steves' or something and was mocked out of existence both in real life and on a comedy sketch show that was popular at the time.…

I'm glad! Do try to check them out. These range from readable to poetic to experimental (but still with heart).

Banana Yoshimoto's Hard Boiled and Hard Luck, Yoko Ogawa's Revenge or The Diving Pool, Bhanu Kalpil's Humanimals, anything by Jackie Kay - I'm all for specifically seeking out non-American writers who aren't white btw (another factor in diversity).

I'd watch a film version of Vampire: The Masquerade in a heartbeat. LA vampires? Yes.

Jane Eyre's had her time I feel - I want a good film adaptation of Wide Sargasso Sea. With a mixed race woman in the role of Antoinette. Think about it. A cold, intense period piece set in both Jamaica and England. I know there's a film from 1993, but it is languishing with a 5.8 rating on IMDB and the whole idea…

I dislike everything about that character. The reason you mentioned, her current purpose as Lady Google, her 21st century makeup skills, the fact two women hung out in a pub together (or was that the fencing club? Either way not very likely), the fact she pronounces her name 'Cat-ree-OH-na'. Everything.

Interesting. I read The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber and liked it a lot (a book touching on faith and aliens and aliens with faith). Will mull it over for sure.

Hahaha, oh man. That'll stay with me if I ever approach the book at some point.
