    yeh, very enjoyable. Especially Michael Cera as a lecherous coke fiend loser... brilliantly played against type

    I really enjoyed Only Lovers Left Alive. There's not much too it - it's essentially two very cool people being very cool, with cool music and cool clothes and cool references and yadda yadda, but hell, it's fucking cool. Another great Jarmusch movie, in other words. Swinton does make a...

    True Detective

    i've rinsed the first 5 episodes this week. As brilliant as episode 4 is (wow! 6 minute tracking shot etc), episode 5 is even better... just brilliant

    for the most part, 'dodgy' acts tend to make dreadful music -Death In June being a notable example. I still play the odd Non record whilst being entirely aware that Boyd Rice is a bellend

    Unlikely But Worth A Shot: Girl Groups - Story Of A Sound

    i'm providing a video backdrop movie thingy for The Actionettes' 10th anniversary show at the 100 Club next Saturday and while I've got a great selection of clips, I'm short on any girl group footage (they don't tend to make the usual rock docs because we need extra time for people to wank on...

    I like the bad later albums

    the later Richman albums are fantastic.. I love Vegas Elvis more than Sun Elvis. There, I've said it. And I prefer Husker Du after Candy Apple Grey, not Zen Arcade.

    "Squirrel!!" yeh, the opening sequence is as good an opening as I've seen to any film, animated or not, for a long time

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    i thought Kick Ass started well, ended brilliantly but had a really really dull middle reel. Agree about the girl's performance and the violence (particular highlight being when she whips that guy's gun to make him shoot himself) but it reallt lagged halfway through

    ah, i have no truck with that sort of hatin' - it's the critical disease. Deadwood was kinda flawed but still utterly original. I know The Wire is pretty much as good as it gets, but it is at heart a police procedural or whatever, just a million miles better than the rest. Deadwood is like...

    oh, and I've just realised who put in the brilliantly menacing performance as Teardrop - it's the guy who played Sol, the Jewish deputy in Deadwood

    Films you've seen recently and would unreservedly recommend:

    went to see Winter's Bone earlier this week and it's an excellent film, one of the 2 or 3 best I've seen all year. Set in a meth ravaged Ozark community, it's bleak and ugly and violent but there are small kindnesses and decencies and a real heart. The lead actress is an absolute revelation, the...
