The Lock Stock TV show was amazing, and by amazing I mean catastrophically shit.

Sicko, Die Laughing and Something to Take the Edge Of makes for a pretty incomparable trilogy, but Henry Phillips' guitar on the latter just makes repeat listens go down so easily, and I always forget what's coming next.

I can heartily recommend this book. There's an absurdly long anecdote about restaurant-based flatulence that is up there with his best ever routines, and the guy's brutal honesty is frankly freakish. If you haven't made your mind up about Stanhope yet, the chapters that focus on his childhood will do it for you. The…

I wonder if the people who devised Yahoo Screen are fans of cocaine

Barely related: Bill Hader's interview on the new Adam Buxton podcast is a great listen. No gems about Wright or anything, just sayin.

I spent two decades thinking that Tony Montana had named his rifle "Mahleafeh". Good times.

I think that Untold is a really, really lousy programme. It's a grim, fascinating and profoundly important story, as told by a bunch of pompous fools with no storytelling ability whatsoever. The central players are never properly defined, there's no concern for narrative ("we'll talk about this thing more in two…

Worst band since Kiss,
Their lyrics are like piss

I've seen Get Him to the Greek about ten times and it continues to heartily amuse.

80s surely?

The fact that this list contains every Edgar Wright film was enough to make me love it… and then I got to number one. Seriously?

1. Never get socially awkward people to write about social events, because you always end up with desperately exaggerated bunkum about how awful the other people were. It happens every time. The middle-aged tit flash? The yelling and shoulder grabbing? Neither of those things happened. But well done.

"Over the past couple years"

I didn't get the sarcastic headline, thanks for clarifying

Grimsby really didn't deserve to flop that badly. Some sort of cult status beckons.
