Dear God.

I (branded as a comedy snob in some circles) finally get a line reproduced in the paper of Myles na gCopaleen and it's this one:

I don’t think any historian now defends what happened to Dresden, but they weren’t bombed *because* they were Christian.

“Favourite 4 studio album run by a band or artist?”

I have just been writing about the Ulster Workers' Council Strike. Inevitable soundtrack...

WHAT?

Apropos of nothing, I’m sure I’ve been guilty of festival groupthink, but SXSW seems to be something else. Has a film ever been bad enough to play there and not get raves?

I’m watching Borgen. This is good. I predict it will be a hit.

This is as funny as that Cork guy.

Sorry WHAT VERSIONS of Happy Valley, Line or Duty and The Fall are you watching, Variety?

As an unapologetic fan of three of the four Michel Hazanavicius films I saw at Cannes, I celebrate this inclusion (no, even I’m not standing up for The Search). variety.com/2024/film/glob…

One day this will all be over and we'll be talking about nobody remembering names of the characters in AVATAR again.

A SERIOUS MAN easy. The Coens’ best film. UP a strong second.

You are kind of asking for this…

THE CLASSICAL!

personally I no longer listen to Stevie Nicks due to her flagrantly failing to address the Cambodian genocide in any of her music.

Let me know if you liked that Deadpool and Wolverine trailer so I can block you

Is Michael White really going to stick with this?

Never mind that dreadful bad review (if you know what I mean) in Paste. Read the excellent mixed review in Pitchfork. pitchfork.com/reviews/albums…

Remain impressed that Isherwood, into his seventies, stuck with the haircut currently worn by every lad on the train in a North Face jacket.
