I'd honestly rate it above any Tarantino film

I went over on a day-trip for the Christmas market once and yeah, it is like a fucking fairy-tale.

"I know I shouldn't… But I will."

Yeah, I remember being kinda detached and rolling my eyes at much of the film but that bit still hit me like a train.

You shot me in the bollocks, Tim.

For more indie cred than the guy from Portlandia could bring, here's S-K doing a version with Calvin Johnson from Beat Happening:

Yeah, I enjoy the show but the internal investigations sub-plot really got annoying fast.

Wait, how is The Hunger Games "rabidly loony right-wing"?!

The book was already a contender for favourite for seeming like MASH written by the Goons, but I feel that chapter is where you go 'Holy shit!'

Well, they haven't got Nabin in house to throw it at these days…

He needs another Wes Anderson film

Something like this?

Kind of like what Phil Ochs was singing about in the 60s:

Wow, that's a lot more nuanced that I would have expected from them!
