Saw it last night and agree with pretty much all of the above. I thought it could have been compacted to contain more material in less time. As mentioned before, I would have liked to know how the whole situation of those dudes agreeing to reenact their murders came about. And why the fat dude...

Peter Siddle is a very good bowler. In a better team, he'd do exceptionally well. Even with these mediocrities alongside him, he is higher in the rankings than the (admittedly under-rated) Jimmy Anderson. While Australia have men like Peter Siddle in the team -- a man who looks like he can...

I assume you mean how long Flintoff will last as a commentator? This series will be 2-1 or 3-1 England, with the weather determining how many draws there are. It would be great to see Australia become a laughing stock, like when they lost to Bangladesh in an ODI. That's surely up there with...

Boris Becker's commentary is hilarious. "Wow, Andy is so fit right now." "If you let your head drop, Djokovic will give you such a pounding!" "New balls! Das is good news for Andy!" "You don't want to be on the receiving end of Novak!" OK, he may not have actually said any of that stuff...

Tottenham has a lot of warehouses that haven't yet been colonised by the folks who set up live/work studios and all that yarbles in Hackney Wick. Not that I've ever lived there myself, but it seems to be pretty vibing whenever I've been there.

Helter Skelter returns to London for one night only! Hear the mesmeric, revolutionary songs of Charles Manson and the Manson Family performed live by a super group including: The Fat White Manson Family ‘Squeaky’ Misty Miller Tash & Beth + Many more! The world’s only known Manson Family...

Rich, you have to see Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. One of the funniest TV shows ever. Is The Kingdom anything like Element of Crime? I really like a lot of Lars Von Trier (The Idiots especially), but hated Element of Crime.

BTW Upstream Color is getting a UK release in August/September. Can't wait to witness the divorce-worthy arguments on Dissensus when it comes out.

A friend showed me this the other day. It had me in stitches.

I'm sure most of you have heard about Chad Harbach's The Art of Fielding. If you've been to London in the past few years (or probably New York), you'll have seen it plastered all over the walls with quotes saying it's the best debut novel since yadda yadda yadda. So naturally, I was intrigued...

I agree with about 90% of that. I'm not defending regular news coverage, for the complex of factors relating to bias and what consitutes 'news', etc. But with Vice, you're right, they come across as ignorant, churlish first-worlders only there for the 'whoah, dude!' factor. Do they care about...

It was ages ago I saw it, so don't remember that but I take your word for it.

I don't think it's about moral superiority or being overly po-faced to say that Vice is good at what it does, which is basically Jackass. Things like Jackass can be funny, but sending Johnny Knoxville to Syria doesn't make it a trustworthy news source. Skateboarding in Palestine doesn't make me...

Yes, it is! And here's the site he founded after he left Vice: http://www.streetbonersandtvcarnage.com/blog/fuck-that-fat-chick/ As Zhao would say, he 'real people'. By the way, that's not some skeleton in the closet I had to research hard to find so I could parade an unrepresentative sample...

I know there are going to be people who hate Upstream Color, either because they think it's pretentious or baffling or whatever. I obviously disagree. And I don't get the comparisons to A Scanner Darkly.

A mistake because we have a differing opinion? I don't understand why you'd join a debate at all if opposing views make you wish you hadn't bothered. The thing about click-bait or whatever you want to call it, though: You're going to have to do a better job than simply saying 'everybody does...

Jeepers, Zhao, how are we supposed to respect your opinion when you keep criticising us for stuff we didn't say? I specifically said I don't like the liberal hair-splitting and labelling stuff as misogynistic when there's no clear way of knowing the intentions of the authors/editors, which we...

True, and the experience of going to the O2 and waiting in line for way too long, even though I had a ticket, filled me with so much anxiety and anger and frustration. When the film came on it was worth the hassle, no doubt. But it shouldn't have to be that much grief. Particularly not at the...

Sorry I didn't check this thread before it went haywire. Yeah, I agree with whoever brought up the Jizz Smoothie post or whatever it was, and IdleRich's comments regarding. As someone who furiously refutes most liberal hairsplitting relating to prejudice, political correctness and other language...

Upstream Color. Saw it at Sundance London yesterday, and I'm comfortable in saying it's one of the best, most outrageously inventive things I've ever experienced (alongside the Holy Mountain, Last Year at Marienbad, Eraserhead, etc.). The fact that Shane Carruth, the guy who made Primer, has...
