It was a Top 10 hit in the UK, maybe less well known in the US?

He ruined the 2 "new" Beatles songs on Anthology. OK they're not great songs to start with but they would've sounded a damn site better if George Martin had done them.

Yeah, really didn't like the Extras finale - very obvious commentary on celebrity and too much maudlin.

Yeah the whole premise of the show was that the stars were all terrible people.

"Bottom" is the Citizen Kane of guys hitting each other with frying pans and setting their genitals on fire.

Happy Chris-Mark!

Being pedantic - it's not a Christmas Special though, it was part of a regular run of Peep Show.

"Least Essential 2nd season" category and it doesn't contain True Detective?!

I'm the opposite - her early stuff is good, her more produced mid-career albums left me cold but her last 2 are masterpieces (White Chalk didn't get much recognition when it came out but it's an amazing record).

Wings are the the band the Beatles could've been!

AV2AK has Grace Jones and Chris Walken and a great theme tune - OK, Rog was so old he had a stunt double to do any scene than wasn't a close up of his face, but it's still not as bad as Moonraker or DAD.

"Named after your father?"

Cleese sucked as "R", I was glad they ditched him for the Craig movies.

a rare song where the title and lyrics evoke the music - it *is* like a vapour trail in a clear blue sky.

Hard to know what a new Ride record would sound like, obviously everyone references Nowhere and the early EPs but that was 25 years ago.

annoyingly the opening sequence is great, and despite it's ridiculousness I like the finale on the disintegrating plane. But the invisible car, the paragliding, the Madonna, ugh…

Gondry is a genius.

Caught this on TV last year knowing nothing about it and really enjoyed it. Nice low key flick that brought back memories of being young and feckless (even though I've never worked at an amusement park). Great soundtrack too.

FFS - Frank heard the meth lab exploding from the other side of town, yet the protestors/workers didn't notice it or the gunfight going on right beside them and just stood around waiting to be shot?

Mirrorball is terrible.
