Well, OK, there have probably been worse. But Jesus Crispy Jumped-Up Burning Christ and the Fucking Mary Chain, Revolver is shit.
No, really. Shit.
In fact, that’s probably being unkind to the very concept of excrement. The world needs shit. If we didn’t shit, we’d die, and if animals didn’t shit then farmers would have nothing to [...]

“I have of late–but wherefore I know not–lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o’erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden [...]

Why? Has it been funded by terrorists, oil magnates, or Dubya[1]? Nope. Has there been gratuitous harm of animals in the making of the film? Nope. Have the filmmakers desecrated some kind of holy icon or religious place either in [...]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.
Like, REALLY.
So, Saffron and I have just finished watching the first series of 24. It’s a bit good, innit!
We were utterly hooked from the first few minutes, and the suspense and cliffhangers never let up until the very end. Hey, I’m sure you all know this, having seen the whole thing, but we [...]
