Vader with a west-country accent would have been ridiculous.

Hey, that was fun! I wasn't much of a fan of the last series but I actually enjoyed this. I'm surprised that I've gone from rolling my eyes at the ridiculous Robin Hood episode (like the spoon thing which felt kooky for the sake of being kooky) to legitimately loving the Doctor riding a tank while playing guitar, but…

The Whoof Warrior?

Oh yeah, for sure. At this point I don't know whether to laud his commitment to traditional release methods, or to roll my eyes and wonder if he can't work with labels why he doesn't just use Pledgmusic like plenty of other artists do these days.

I could never tell whether the stuff like 'fuck the Brady bill' was meant to be ironic or not (although given how earnest other lyric are who knows…) But yeah I generally don't take the lyrics too seriously as they're obviously more a result of Richey's condition than a coherant world view (they were a lot more…

I really love the Smiths and a deal of his solo stuff and I used to even defend his ill-advised press outbursts, but this does really seem like another teddy throwing moment. There's no reason you can't tour without an album, this is just a cry for attention. There are loads of fans who'd buy tickets to a show no…

MSP were super-preachy but I find it kind of endearing in a way. Like Richey Edwards era they were really loud, but what they actually meant was so muddled between an unholy mix of irony and earnestness that it was hard tell what exactly they were preaching about. But yeah, it is also kind of embarrassing when you…

Let's hope this series isn't mostly spent being a dull school drama about two dull teachers' dull romance.

Airplane is basically the exact plot of some obscure disaster movie (so much so they bought the rights to it) with jokes put in. It's kinda cheating to say that it made better structure because it had a pre-made structure that they just hung the great gags off of.

A friend who read the three books told me that it is really obvious that it was only meant to be one. The second and third are apparently completely superfluous and only serve to over-explain everything and retroactively make the first look bad.

AGH THERE GOES MY WHOLE DAY!

As a saxophonist that picture of Stewart is making me irrationally angry.

Apparently it literally is: http://www.queerty.com/more…

Yeah - in a way isn't that the difference between a fetish and a predilection? There is an element of subversion in it - no-one honestly says 'Ooh, I've a fetish for willies' really because that's just something you're expected to, whereas something like feet is not something people usually associate with sex.

HIS NAME IS GEORGE NELSON! NOT BABY-FACE.

I think when you only get select imports a country can seem like a haven for great TV - in the UK we look to Denmark and Sweden as the places where everything is a masterpiece, but there are probably tonnes of shows that are nowhere near the level of The Killing, Borgen, or The Bridge…

Yup, that sounds like a Ballard novel.

Judging on his views of people who commit suicide, I'd say that's not that likely…

Yeah, his dismissal of Weiner was at best irritatingly snobbish, and at worst pretty damnably sexist.

From my experience, which is based entirely off of having watched Singing in the Rain recently, the stars/producers wait outside the auditorium and go back in to take their bows when it's over.
