I'm kind of amazed she's still a thing. I remember being in my teens and hearing 'Complicated' everywhere, thinking "This is terrible, but at least it's just going to be a fad." If you'd told me it would be the start of a decade of Lavigne, I'd have jumped off a cliff.

I feel like Sam Taylor-Johnson has to drag it some of the way uphill. That's a legit brave, interesting choice of director. The problem is, if you make it too good, all the fans start complaining that you've ruined their favourite book. (See also: every single internet forum devoted to comic books.)

God, I hope so. She's already so much cooler with so much more self-esteem than Anastasia Steele.

I only know her through this site as well, though that's still more knowledge than I have of most of the people who end up in that house.

I'd never really thought of looking at other people's bookshelves as a fetish before, but now I have I'm pretty sure that's my kink.

"Tousle-Haired Sex Children" - amazing. I will never refer to Wand Erection as anything other than that now.

I love them because they paint such an amazing picture of Hollywood as a non-stop coke-fuelled orgy. I suspect it's really a little bit like that, but a lot more boring than the BIs make out. But it is a place for dreams!

Oh man, you might have opened a box that you can't close now - Christopher Morris is one of my all-time heroes. I remember being a teenager when Brass Eye was first on, with my jaw hanging open that something this fearless and angry could be broadcast on television. (And of course it nearly wasn't - there's a lot of

Ah shit, I just looked it up and they've cancelled Bad Sugar, for the fairly inevitable reason that none of the cast will be in the same place at the same time for the next trillion years. I suppose it was always too good to be true. We'll always have "All bitch and no bitch makes bitch a bitch bitch"...

Came on to this post just to nominate this. It includes a version of the linked article where the author doesn't slag off Clue!

I love that you mentioned Sharon Horgan there. I cannot wait for the full series of Bad Sugar.

Now playing

There's something really humiliating about a conspiracy theory that can be squarely disproved by a Mitchell and Webb sketch.

Pop Simon Cowell in there and you've hit every square on Shit British Tabloid Bingo!

YES. THIS. I'd rather she'd just said "Perez is such a dick - give him hell, stans". Not big, not clever, not grown-up, but eh - he's done worse, and the thing he sent her does sound pretty vile. Then she comes back with that ridiculous "Oh, please ignore this thing that happened ages ago that I just dredged up, my

You got that from an article about how the British government are combating forced marriage? Look out, folks, we got a genius in the house!

"Why do you think men have no idea what women are talking about and vice versa?"

THANKS OBAMA.

Generally the people who get the most huffy about silly stuff like this are the people who are working hardest to dehumanise the president, so it kind of makes sense now why it gets them so worked up.

It reminds me a bit of the people who didn't support gay marriage because they were holding out for the government to have no place in defining marriage at all. I mean, yeah, that would be great, but seeing as it's never actually going to happen can we focus on improving the world we've got, rather than sitting on

A friend of mine was shocked when he heard LCD Soundsystem's 'Daft Punk is Playing at My House' on the radio, because he heard the title as 'That Cunt is Playing...'
