Have I missed an incident where Anne Heche denied the Holocaust or ran over a baby? I can understand finding her annoying, but calling someone "despicably disgusting" for having mental health problems is, well, despicable and disgusting.

I've seen some articles give the lead character's age at 17 and some as 15; both, I understand, are legal in France.

I once had someone who identified as feminist explain to me that gay male porn was still misogynistic because it involved men being feminised through penetration. Genuinely couldn't work out whether that line of reasoning was more sexist, more homophobic or more batshit crazy.

God, I want to see this film so badly. Swinto and Hiddleston play vampires for Jim Jarmusch? YES PLEASE OBVIOUSLY.

Are people really trying to 'silence' Ögmundur Jónasson, or do they just disagree? Regardless of the merits of his position, that argumentative fallacy really annoys me.

It's been a while since I last read HuffPo; do all their articles read like they've been run through BabelFish a couple of times?

The reviews of this have made me very keen to watch it* - the one in Sight & Sound made it sound like one of those wonderful, Mr. Death/Forbidden Lie$-style documentaries where very wrongheaded people are given every inch of rope necessary to hang themselves. Apparently

There's a bit of Femen in the mix too, isn't there?

I always thought when people were saying Polanski should be let off because he's "such a great talent", we should have forced those people to sit through a triple bill of Pirates, Macbeth and Bitter Moon. Nobody would ever have dashed to use that defence again.

Police are still on the lookout for the killer of the entire cast of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.

Ah, hi! I always assume everyone on here is from the USA, because of Kardashians, which I understand are a disease which is epidemic in North America. But I am often wrong.

There was a wonderful spoof commercial on the recent BBC series It's Kevin, which sadly doesn't seem to have migrated onto YouTube yet, which began with the voiceover: "Do you remember killer bees, the Millennium Bug, and homosexuals? If so, you'll love Classic Fears magazine!"

I know what you mean. I've never watched either of those shows for any real period of time - in TBBT's case I just find "ha ha, nerds" a lazy and dated source of humour, and in the case of HIMYM I've just never got round to it, but I am a Doctor Who fan and boy is it fun putting up with Steven Moffat's attitude…

But if a vagina gets shot, and it's a legitimate shooting, the female body has ways of shutting that thing down!

Oh god. Speaking as someone who wasted years making 9/11 truthers his favourite spectator sport, Building 7 is either:

See, I've got the opposite thing - I've never seen more than five minutes of 2 Broke Girls. I tell myself that young female comic actresses have to eat, I wince a bit over what I've heard about it, and then I dispel it from my memory altogether. It's not a very sensible, mature way of coping with the situation, but…

Kat Dennings and Natalie Portman discussing astrophysics means Thor passes the Bechdel test, which is so thrillingly rare in a summer action movie.

At this point, superhero movies started routinely featuring Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth or Chris Evans shirtless. The trend was now inevitable.

It made me think of Mina Murray's shame over her neck wounds in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Have you ever read Running Dog by Don Delillo? A bunch of rich porn collectors try to find Hitler's lost sex tape; it's every bit as wonderful as I've just made it sound.
