Seconded!

It's because the personal things are the first thing that greets you. You find the big news stories depressing because you're not already depressed by the simple things in life. If you were depressed by the simple fact of it being another day, you wouldn't manage to bring yourself round to thinking about the Syrian…

Anyone remember this?

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.

Well, yeah, but The Avengers had built all those characters up. Man of Steel 2 will have to introduce all but one of them. All but two, if we assume audiences will accept Batman as he is without any backstory. But that's still a lot of groundwork to cover.

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".

It did amuse me that she attempted to pull the "but this isn't a real-world important issue! Why are you so steamed about it?" card after writing a long, long, insanely angry e-mail about the exact same issue she claimed wasn't important enough to get opinionated over.
