Well, I am shocked - *shocked!* - that no-one has yet mentioned "I need the biggest seed-bell you have… No, that's too big." as being Moleman's best ever line. It's certainly my favorite.

There used to be an awesome reality/game-show on British TV called 'Wanted' where the contestants were literally on the run for a week from the 'hunters' - the main show was kind of as you describe, a scavenger hunt where the contestants had to perform various specific tasks throughout the week without being…

I used to love doing that gag - I once wrapped some jewelry I'd got my sister in the box that our (absolutely vast old CRT) TV had come in, complete with several layers of smaller boxes filled with rice and Lego so as to make exciting rustling sounds when you shook it. Good times.

Why, the Space Pope was the Riddler all along! Holy Prince of the Apostles, Batman!

Yeah, this was pretty much just an inconsequential two-minute conversation that tangentially took in this guy's practically non-existent opinion of the song. Like, you're sitting over lunch and this track's on the radio and between mouthfuls you ask your buddy 'Hey, what d'you think of this song, anyway?', and he's…

Are Eustachian to me? Are Eustachian to me? Well who the hell else are Eustachian to?

Yoink?!

You're dead right though! This whole discussion (and I don't mean this thread, but rather the whole cultural meme-at-large) has been using the term 'fedora', when in fact, as you say, most of the wet-mustached weak-chinned 'Fedora wearers' are actually wearing smallish porkpies or trilbys; fedoras are bigger, softer,…

I love when I know what the link must be before I even click on it, and this clip is without doubt the king of the 'called it before I clicked it' links.

I think it's still pretty common at traditional church weddings - I went to a wedding (in the UK) last year where the bridegroom and his guard of honour (or whatever, y'know, his bro's) were all British Army, and when the reverend said "Speak now or forever hold your peace", they all stood up and, in unison,…

Interesting distinction, but a false one, I'm afraid: as Mythagoras says, the term 'public school' initially just meant schools that were open to the public, while charging fees for their services (there being no socialized education system, and most education being carried out by private tutors). Private schools are…

Not enough 70s tits and naked children.

I guess she's just not the right ho, Jeeves.

Nah man, just wanted a tight-ass gravestone! For the pussy, y'know?

Yeah man, this gravestone is tight!

Ohmygod-ohmygod-ohmygod, not only did Sean O'Neal reply to me, but I actually had a hand in correcting one of his Newswires! This is the pinnacle of my career as a professional proof-reader — I'm putting this on my resume. Fuck it, I'm putting it on my gravestone.

"While The Simpsons has already far paid tribute"… "Far paid tribute"? Is that a typo (for "paid fair tribute"?), or an actual thing you can say? Meaning "paid enough tribute", I guess? Not being a dick, genuine question.

Discussion starter for people who've seen it: How good did we think Stacy Martin as young Joe was? Considering she is pretty much the main character, I thought she did a great job - seemed a little unsure at times, but I guess that's why von Trier casted an unknown. Also one of those weird roles where I couldn't tell…

Oh come on, the only way it would be 'mocking dyslexics' would be if someone had shoved him on stage unprepared and said "Hey spaz, read this." The man is a professional actor who was presumably well paid to read out a dozen words at one the most watched events on earth. Sure, he had a minor brain fart, so give him a…

Yes, an excellent, intelligent review of a film that scarcely deserves such intellectual attention. And yes, analyzing the sub-text of the work rather than the creator's nominal intentions is definitely the right approach here, as so often - Ignatiy's film reviews are consistently outstanding.
