Bridesmaids is a fine comedy but there are much funnier films on this list.

I’d have The Heat above Spy were it not for Jason Statham’s performance in the latter which is one of the greatest comedy performances of all time.

I think by the time the bombs were ready to be used, the primary intention was to intimidate the Soviet Union.

The correct answer has suddenly occurred to me. Any menu served by Bertie Wooster’s Aunt Dahlia’s chef Anton. Especially the nonnettes de poulet Agnes Sorel.

My visit was over 15 years ago so I’m guessing things may have changed (and it will certainly be a lot more expensive). But it was a cool thing to do, especially as my dad used to talk about the place a lot, having been there in the early 40s, before being required to leave at rather short notice...

Speaking of Singapore, on my only visit I also went to the Raffles Hotel’s Long Bar and ordered a Singapore Sling. It arrived pre-mixed and delivered by one of those snake things that dispense mixers. Not really what I was expecting.

Mmm...Singapore street food.

That diner is on my bucket list, but obviously I would not have any high expectations about the actual food.  And it won’t be the same without Norma serving me anyway.

Damn the AV Club’s done it to me again. I read a rehashed article forgetting I’ve seen it before. I then scan down the comments wondering if anyone’s mentioned XYZ. I then find, yes they have, and it was me.

I’ve never watched a Wes Anderson film, but this one appeals to me. I think the era and location are the main attraction.  I may have to watch this and Oppenheimer in the same week just for balance.

And also one of the greatest special guest stars ever on the Morecambe & Wise Show.  All round superstar.

OK - I’ll replace “not fun” with “turgid”. It’s what comes of paying people by the word.

Obviously all such lists are a matter of personal preference but Invisible Sun should be top 5 and if you disagree with me, you’re an idiot.

Seinfeld’s an arse, but he wasn’t wrong here.

And the flipside of that is that reading Dickens is ... not fun.  IMHO.

I’m not sure Stanley Tucci has recovered yet from being on the Graham Norton Show with her.

I think most Brits think of the other Brian Cox first, because he’s fucking everywhere over here.

Neither would Ryan Gosling.

Now playing

I stand by my choice of words. I think people love their songs, but don’t always get how innovative they were. They went from She Loves You to Tomorrow Never Knows in just three years, and, crucially, took the world with them.

Indeed.  I mean he lifted the most offensive lyric from Elvis, but even so.
