Look, I was a bit underwhelmed the first time I saw it and was critical of the story structure, but on second viewing today the film held together much better and I enjoyed it thoroughly. It’s a pretty solid film (deus ex machina aside) and in combination with the best acting Star Wars has had, the integration of…

Both my mum and dad’s families were very poor and so both desperately wanted to believe in him even though he never came for them as an escapism. My mum particularly used to help run her household and effectively took care of her younger sisters exclusively and so hoped that one day Father Christmas would reward her,…

I genuinely did the exact same thing pretty much every Christmas. I’m really glad my parents indulged those fantasies, because as a consequence Christmas is still the most magical and my favourite part of the year. I love going out and choosing Christmas presents for family, particularly when my brother still didn’t…

I believed for a good many years that I was indeed the first person to see—nay notice—my baby brother on the day he was born. My mum let me hold onto that one for a significant time, probably because I was so excited, and had cried at Christmas the year before because Father Christmas hadn’t brought me the brother I…

BB-8 and John Boyega could easily have a buddy-Stroomtrooper spinoff. That’s how good BB-8 is. The only other character that steals the show more than Han Solo is BB-8. Everyone is pretty superb though.

Prehensile quiff that was unable to regain its shape after being pelted with rotting eggs by tykes on Halloween and so decided to get revenge.

He does realise he’s taking part in a presidential primary debate right?

However, if it were legally possible, I too would support another term for Obama.

Would you consider yourself a valuable tool, Mr. Rubio, or simply a tool?

No, it’s definitely true. I mean, what with all the shit that comes out of him, it’s clear that he undergoes daily colonoscopy, and colonoscopies are great for health checks. I only hope that the anal probe hurts as much as possible.

I’m more just jealous that they have all of that The Force Awakens stuff to play with. My judgement isn’t at all clouded by the fact that all of the The Force Awakens toys disappeared before I had a chance to buy any in my city. It’s alright though, I just bought my ticket to see the film on the 16th in a uncrowded…

I finally was able to watch Trainwreck the other day, and while I don’t think it was Schumer remotely at her funniest, the film mainly suffered from being overly long which killed the humour and momentum. The pathos was pretty moving though at times. Melissa McCarthy was far funnier in Spy, which was a solid spy film…

He’s managed to pair up the interviewees pretty expertly this year for sure.

Friday’s interview was easily one of the best interviews Graham’s had this series, but the top one is probably (yes I’m posting it again) Miriam Margolyes and will.i.am (and Greg Davies). The Robins Williams one was also very special. Joan Rivers was a stand out from a few years back too. Joanna Lumley, Daniel…

My mum and I used to watch it together when it was on television. Then I bought the box set one year for my mum as a Christmas present and we periodically binge the series together. The set up and execution of jokes are brilliant, and it’s relatively timeless because it rarely references contemporary events (compared…

Then you are incredibly wrong I’m afraid, but that’s alright. Different strokes.

If by brown coffee table show you mean one of the most intelligently written and funniest farces of all time then yes, it is a brown coffee table show. I may sound irrationally defensive about this, but it genuinely is a great example of comedy writing that most series could only hope to emulate.

Found a gif worthy of yours. And thanks.

I can see that. Edited the last sentence of first paragraph for clarity, but Freud would indeed have a field day!

So back in 1998, my older brother came to me asking for help. He was in a quandary as his ex-wife had arrived unexpectedly seeking comfort due to her new husband deserting her, and my brother, prone to a slight Messiah complex when it comes to vulnerable women, in addition to his repressed feelings of attraction…

My Holy Trinity Church Stratford-Upon-Avon keychain is tingling with excitement...I’ll have to see if I can make it to the West End or Globe next year. *crosses fingers*
