Rupert Grint's story about Shiny van Beef is hilarious. He's clearly using ostentatious 'method' behaviour as an excuse for not being a very good actor.

I think she's the whiny, overprivileged one with the shit boyfriend. Wait, that's all of them.

I think this is generally a good principle, but I'm not sure it holds up in the case of this film. The Wolf of Wall Street isn't a film about consensual, loving sex, or even fun casual sex. It's a film about sexual exploitation, and that really is a moral terrain that's way too treacherous for a young child.

It helps for me that Dominic West is so absurdly un-McNulty in real life. Like, when you see him come on Have I Got News For You all "WHAT HO FELLOWS, I'M DOMINIC WEST FROM THE WAAAARRRRHHH", that limits the confusion.

It seemed to be more of an "I can't stand to watch this!" response than anything else, but yeah, what about the poor cat?

In his autobiography he does mention stopping a cat eating a bird. He doesn't mention whether or not he gave the cat a tofurkey burger afterwards, unfortunately.

McKellen's response was golden, particularly the bit about him and Michael Gambon struggling under the yoke of success. See - there's a British celebrity who won't disappoint you!

Yeah, I suppose I should feel honoured that we're now a minority important enough to pander to, but it's still pandering.

I didn't watch it, because the last series pissed me so thoroughly and consistently off. But a friend did, and he posted the following epic rant on Facebook:

She was the first naked person I ever saw on a cinema screen. You don't forget that. Ever.

Iron Man 3 has the same thing: Gwyneth Paltrow and Rebecca Hall talk about the Extremis project. Whatever else you say about them, Marvel's movies generally have cool, interesting women, and they've been rewarded for it.

'When I Was Your Man' has followed me around all fucking year. I'd give anything to be rid of that appalling sub-musical whimper.

I love the idea of a Fox News medical A-Team. If you've got a medical problem, and nobody is prepared to be an ill-informed asshole about it, you can call them!

I love that the first response to his tweet is "Christ you are an arsehole".

God, yeah, obviously the director of The King of Comedy, The Last Temptation of Christ, The Age of Innocence, Kundun and A Personal Journey Through American Movies is completely incapable of subtlety. I'm so glad he has a sanctimonious contrarian whose screen name is "You Might Be Wrong" to teach him about respecting

Also that the 'facts' the film contained were based entirely off interviews with the torturers, and the agency that sanctioned the torture. Scorsese, DiCaprio and the producers have distanced themselves from Belfont and his cronies in interviews, and judging by the outraged reactions from some of the people the movie

It's the freeze-frame at the end that makes it.

I always used to wonder how you would explain lolcats to somebody without sounding completely insane, but doge could be even harder.

I think the charm of the Doge meme is that, if dogs could talk, you can easily imagine Shibas would actually talk in little fragments of ungrammatical, gushing enthusiasm. I always imagine it being read out quite slowly, in a deep, breathy voice, like a New Age relaxation tape that hasn't had its script proofread

She's probably already there, looking for her next boyfriend.
