Wow - use of the words “bollocks” and “ass” in the same sentence. You are the epitome of “Mid-Atlantic”.

Bizarre article. You could write something similar for any film made before, say, 1995. Probably later.

To be fair though - it’s a pretty good ranking.  Definitely in my top 10.

It’s the review Sean from Staten Island would have written.

Other ways it’s described (which fits with the FBI/CIA comparison) include Domestic v Foreign service, or Spycatchers v spies.

Channel 4 was very controversial when it started, being slightly more liberal with respect to swearing and nudity.  Similar to the parental advisory thing in the US, Channel 4 ended up having a warning red triangle in the corner of the screen which Ali G later famously described as “guaranteeing muff”.

I’m not aware of such circles and have no wish to frequent them.

“...the members of the Gunpowder Plot were not only successful...”

The moment my firm belief that Prince was overrated came crashing down around me.

Correct on both counts.

As when the first trailer came out, I’m thinking that this is basically a feature length Ross and Emily’s Wedding in Friends.

That’s probably fair, but what do you expect from a mid-50s dad with two daughters around Anya’s age?

A dress? Is that what it’s meant to be?  Having said that, she was wearing far less fabric on Graham Norton’s show last week.

I really enjoyed Craig on SNL. Of all the hosts in recent years, he’s the one that seemed to be having the most fun.

Hmm - I more got the impression that he is a little torn between calling out anti-Semitism, and maintaining his stance that you can joke about anything, and shouldn’t have to worry about “getting cancelled”.  But I may be wrong (and frequently am).

I also think Song for Guy should be in here somewhere.

One of the many terrible songs that were the first UK number 1 for an otherwise talented artist. See also “I Just Called to Say I Love You” and “Uptown Girl”.

Pleased to see Bennie & The Jets near the top, but I’d have had it number 1 personally.

To be fair, the development of the Lamborghini 350GT is one of the most spectacular “fuck you”s in human history.

This is a sequel I’d actually like to see.  Lohan is a great actress who just went down the wrong path and it’s taken her a long time to find her way back.  I’m rooting for the kid.
