| 20 Dec 08 | Generation Kill: Learning the Lingo (6) | (20 Dec 08, 9:09 PM by missuslovett) |
| I was incensed by the new version of children's classic Tales From the Riverbank, which has been remade with puppets, a John Williams orchestral overkill score, jokes about WMDs and THEY'VE MADE HAMMY THE HAMSTER IRISH! ("SO?" Padraig O'Bleaurghigan, secretary of the Anglo-Gaelic Fetish Fellowship.) [more...]

| 5 Dec 08 | My David Van Day Shame (Replies Now Enabled. Doh!) (2) | (6 Dec 08, 12:43 AM by Snakehips) |
| I have backed David Van Day. Not in the biblical sense - although, let's face it, what he needs is a thorough, punitive bumming. Perhaps Brian Paddick should be ordered to do it, as a punishment for being worthy but not terribly interesting. [more...]

| 2 Dec 08 | Hallelujah! Christian cunt Kermode is going grey (12) | (3 Dec 08, 11:08 PM by missuslovett) |
| As we all know the Exorcist is a masterpiece, skiffle is the greatest music ever (because cunty Kermode plays in a skiffle band) and Jesus Christ is our redeemer. Welcome to the world of Mark Kermode, whose real name is Mark Fairey. WHOSE REAL NAME IS MARK FAIREY. Well I hope that didn't cause him any discomfort as a child. [more...]

| 30 Nov 08 | Yes! We Have Nosferatu. We have Nosferatu for you. | (30 Nov 08, 5:12 PM by prospero13) |
| There's always gold in Mel Brooks movies. Even if you have to wade through a vat of dung to get to it. This Dracula spoof good enough to live-blog, or should that be undead-blog. (Half an hour of hit and mostly miss later: yet another uneven Mel Brooks movie...) [more...]

| Other than his name, it's hard to find much fetish relevance in Huge Furry Whippingstool, or Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, although anyone who has just said “a bream come true” (River Cottage, tonight) should probably be spanked. (Maybe with an actual bream. That would be KINKY.) [more...]

Details of Fleming's wartime intelligence activities are fascinating and dig this from a hippy era movie poster - "Far Up! Far Out! Far More!" [more...]
