In the pre-Internet age, any late night TV film with subtitles carried with it the frissonic prospect of nudity. So much so that I believe a Pavlovian reaction “down there” is umavoidable in the over 45 […]

It Couldn’t Happen Here.

Pet Shop Boys make a film during their imperial phase, when they could do no wrong. A surefire box office hit. It wasn’t because it’s terrible.

You have to keep an eye on Neil and […]

Couldn’t agree less (with respect) – Koyaanisqatsi in a big cinema was astounding. I can’t listen to the soundtrack without wanting to see the images.

Angela’s Ashes made quite an impression. My mother was prone to a bit of a drama generally but she didn’t really talk much about her childhood. She was effectively the oldest of 5 children and the hardship was […]

Worth a look on Twitter to see May and Juncker talking quietly as interpreted by a lip reader. It goes like this :

May (looking hurt) – “Nebulous – you called me nebulous”
Juncker (holding her reassuringly by […]

Mine’s not very big but it’s not small either. It smells very Christmassy and I like the fact that the neighbours can see it at nighttime. But enough about that, I must get a Christmas tree.

That is pretty wonderful KFD. Available for any Eurovison winning nation looking to make sure they don’t win again.

Ethel Beast, all mixed up? (3,7)
Les loses to a definite article (3, 7)
They blest outside dining with a strange dessert – why not? (3, 7)

and so on

Mojo readers. Tough crowd.

Wonderful review – thanks.

In the Sunshine Boys film, Walter Matthau and George Burns have an ill-advised reunion show when they are clearly far too old to do it. Monty Python’s live sketch with Terry Jones […]

Is it possible for a PM to unilaterally scrap Brexit on behalf of us all? She’s said she won’t be leader at the next planned election – so I think she should say pragmatically that an acceptable Brexit is not […]

Crosseyed and brainless

Great observation. Photo shopping Mogg’s face onto the big suit is something someone who knows how to do these things should do.

But when Santiago López Fisterra revealed his dirty secret in La Reina del Sur – that was a bit of a jaw-dropper. Teresa and her pals would have to go some to match that.

Incredibly, this turn of events actually has nothing to do with anyone on this here site.

I think she will survive the vote but her days are numbered.

Leadership challenge is now on.

I think a vote of no confidence is inevitable now. It only takes the DUP and a few mad Tories to make it happen. Then the fun really starts. Boris Johnson has had a haircut and he’s ready to go for the top job. […]

That seems a lot of money. I know he’s a songwriting genius and he’s been around a long time and all that and has probably done well for himself, but I don’t associate him with huge record sales and sell-out tours.

You just know that Andrew Neill is weeping bitter tears. He wants to be there, jacket off – journalisty braces on, asking the tough questions of rugged warhorse silverback alpha males like Iain Duncan-Smith and […]
