I’d love a new Star Trek film set in the original universe and featuring Picard. But so long as completely ignores Picard.

Approved every item of clothing and discussed stuff. Is there no end beginning to her talents?

I'm in the U.K. This still has the unpleasant whiff of money about it.

I just found out. Welcome back.

Which reality show isn't morally corrupt?

Those are very Mark Kozelek-esque titles. From the period when he'd started believing his own hype, but before we knew he was a sex pest.

That... (assuming you're making the flute/Jethro Tull connection) is a deep cut my man. Well played.

Some fanny. (‘Cos, y’ know, that’s what that means over here).

Very sad.

Commiserations to Jezebel. Way back when, Deadspin was banned from “political” articles. Splinter was closed. Root’s comments were shut off, and now Jezebel’s gone. Pretty shitty pattern emerging.

I’ve yet to recover from Splinter’s closure. Shocking that Jez is gone now too.

It’s an effortlessly cool 60s classic with a host of instantly familiar British faces and more than a couple of eminently quotable lines, in my opinion. But so long as we both agree the remake is dogshit, let's be pals.

You’re recommending the 2003 Italian Job starring charisma-vacuum Mark Wahlberg? I thought the U.S. and U.K. were supposed to be allies but you’ve just declared war.

‘Now and Then’ (b-side of ‘Centre of the Universe’) is one of my favourite Built To Spill songs. Tangentially relevant at best, I know.

And Brad Pitt couldn't have beaten him up either.

You hit the (toe)nail on the head.

A mannerism like... stroking a bushy beard or suggestively winking?

Yes, it's so full of murderers here in the U.K. I'm thinking of moving to America. I hear a place called Cabot Cove is nice.
