If that's a reference to my usage of the word "twat", the meaning of that word is different outside of the US.

I'm talking about both of them. Relentless juvenilia

"Someone on Twitter suggested it was a silver lining that we’d get four years of Alec Baldwin, and I did not block that person, but did consider it."

Midnight Run. Never has a profane action movie been so sweet.

Bret Easton Ellis is one hell of a petulant dipshit, but his podcast is absolutely superb.

The one that always sticks in the memory is the tracking shot of the ambulance leaving the depot, which then turns into a zoom to capture McClane's distant yellow cab swerving into the traffic behind it. All shot on location.

Gruber versus Clarence Bodiker

I'm still amazed that people like Die Hard 2. It's the kind of traditionalist 70s cartoon that the original film was supposed to stamp out. It's not quite John McClane surfing on a jet, but a drab backwards step all the same.

Clinton is a lock. Just like Brexit wasn't.

The opening few minutes of the original Nightmare on Elm Street are superlative. The horrible, totally underrated score, the image of a grunting (offscreen) Freddy Krueger creating his weapon of choice, an inexplicable sheep, a perfect jump scare.

The argument for Robocop was way too persuasive - that movie is a shockingly brilliant one-off, never to be repeated. I love Lethal Weapon and all, but… Robocop.

The Departed is better than Infernal Affairs?

Leo Dicaprio is the only actor currently working who I personally think qualifies as a bona fide, old fashioned movie star in the classic tradition. In that if his name's on the poster, I'm there.

They looked alike when they were young too. Apparently Guy Ritchie had to re-edit the opening of Snatch because everyone thought that Pitt carried out that diamond heist.

I suspect this was a joke.

I'll take Shia Lebeef over this jackass every day of the week

Episodes 2 and 4 I'll give you. The rest is water treading.

Chasing Amy and Clerks are good. Episode 2 of Clerks Animated is way too good for that show, and clearly the work of a slumming Seinfeld alumni. Everything else is dirge.

I saw Gene Wilder perform in a Neil Simon play aeons ago, and after the supporting cast had all taken their bows, he stepped forward with a saxophone around his neck (as per the final scene in the play) and with two or three tiny little gestures, he made the audience instantly fall silent because he looked as if he…

While listening to a Doug Stanhope set on my iPod as I walked through central London years ago, one joke made me double over so violently that I nearly flung myself under a bus.
