Though if we’re talking about Ralph Fiennes (even sans nose) the choice is pretty clear.

Also, Groundhog Day isn’t that funny (a few solid scenes), and has a very creepy romantic conquest plot.

Well it’s either that, or if they were Australian and growing up around the Sydney 2000 Olympics, this will be the Nikki they think of:

Are we sure this isn’t elaborate beard-growing envy guised as hateful rhetoric? Because anthropomorphic pustules threatening to rupture struggle to grow beards you know...

I had the misfortune of coming across these two people in my second year at university and indeed suffered through these particular examples of narcissistic hell.

It’s Edinburgh. Anything’s possible. If you watch her other interviews, Miriam has story after story. They might be embellished, but she seems like the sort of person things just happen to. And it’s the telling that counts.

I’ve been watching Graham Norton for years and this is indeed one of the best episodes. I just linked the condensed version for ease.

Carrie Fisher is going to rock in this film. However, Miriam Margoyles is always a contender for greatest interviewee (first twenty seconds are pretty uncomfortable, but seriously, stick around for the first three minutes):

Ted Cruz is that one guy on a night out who refused to get the bus with everyone else, and you’re stuck waiting around for him at the pub before the club for so long that you fuck off to the club (you call/text him and he doesn’t call back), only to get continuous texts with variations of “Where r u?” that you don’t…

Or, if you’ve ever contemplated wielding a lightsaber as an adult, or reread Harry Potter as an adult. It’s all the same and there are no problems with it.

I’ve read about the required Disneyland employee practices and they are ridiculous and sound hellish, but that’s the insidious controlling nature of the employer, rather than the actual liking of Disney. I realise there’s a dichotomy in the idyllic fantasy they try to create and the awful methods employed, but that’s…

I saw your post above and was compelled to comment. I find it particularly strange that Disney, given the all-consuming cultural behemoth that it is, is a sticking point. Particularly as it’s been the gateway to more “mature” fantasy etc. for generations and so people are bound to have, at the very least, some…

Honestly, it seems a little hypocritical for people to be particularly hung up on Disney fandom as a source of contempt, particularly when most notable Disney films retain some essence of their usually darker source material (and the internet can quite easily reveal how thematically mature Disney films can be even…

Seriously, outside of cities, the likelihood of giant boomers leaping across roads is huge.

I just rewatched Groundhog Day (having not seen it for over a decade) and realised how terribly creepy Murray’s tactics in pursuing MacDowell are. I only found it mildly amusing when I was younger anyway (a few sequences are still solid), but I’m not interested in watching it again.

On the other hand, I’m really…

Honestly, I rather like the conversation, which is sometimes entertaining. Choosing a hairstyle is by the far the more arduous and nerve-wracking process. I envision what an interesting new hairstyle might look like, feel completely insecure about being able to pull it off, and ask for them to shear all the hair off…

I’ve been rewatching Cheers to relax as well. I remember seeing a few comments here on Jezebel a while back about how disturbing some of the events are in the series and so was curious. While I agree there are a few instances of genuinely frightening threats of violence played for slapstick (although I personally…

Brian Kilmedead was just trying to set up a terrible joke where “Kool-Aid and the Gang” was the hilarious punchline...

It’s not the best song, but I’ve always appreciated M.I.A being involved in this song, which highlights the sheer awesomeness that is Kuduro from Luanda, Angola. The sheer level of innate rhythm in a Luandan nightclub (or wherever there is music really) is pretty much unparalleled.

Ross and Rachel were terrible for one another (I reached new levels of hatred for Ross in The One with all the Jealousy and it was exacerbated from there on out). Contrast them with Sam and Diane, which had sparkling performances so brilliantly rooted in emotional rawness, but the incompatibility was never, ever…
