The last season of the Simpsons I've seen all episodes from is series 8. Just got series 9 on DVD and some of the ones I haven't seen are hilarious. The one where Homer gets a gun is genius, as is the Lord of the Flies one. "So the children learned how to function as a society, and eventually they were rescued by, oh, let's say.. Moe" Canyonero is superb too.

Since you got it wrong, I'll try The Simpsons > South Park (the movie, anyway, hardly seen any since the first series) > Cheese on Toast > Aqua Teen Hunger Force > Futurama > Family Guy > One of J69'S arcade machines > American Dad > Happy Face's opinion FYP Sometimes the truth is unpalletable. You mightn't like my opinion, but it's as good as fact. FACT!

The Disco Beatles. Fucking mint. Power, Corruption and Lies just shades it as their best album over Technique for me. Substance is a class compilation too. Always liked their singles without being a big fan. Always meant to aquaint myself with them more intimately, Tony Wilson dying reminded me. I'll make a bee-line for those three.

I had serious sleep problems for ages. If it ever bothers you, being sensible is the only solution. I liked staying up late so had to put up with the fact I wouldn't sleep regular. After a while I got sick of being shattered and the following tips sorted me out... 1. Go to bed at the same time every night. 2. Get up at the same time every morning, irrespective of how much sleep you got that night. 3. The alloted-bed time and rise time should give you at least 6 hours. 4. The alloted-bed time and rise time should give you at most 8 hours. 5. Don't eat anything for an hour or two before bed (especially sugary food). Fruit or toast if you must have something. 6. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex. Don't watch telly, read a book or play any games in bed. 7. Allow as little light into your room as possible, complete darkness is best. 8. Concentrate on going to sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. I find it useful to try and try and see the lightshow that occurs behind your eyes when they're closed. 9. Allocate half an hour before bed as thinking time. Have a bath or a wank or a shit but nothing that gets your mind ticking over (like a chat forum). 10. Turn any clocks away from you in bed so you cannot find out how long you've been lying there. 11. If you're thinking "shit, I can't get to sleep. Get up and don't go back to bed until you're tired. 10 - 15 minutes is a general rule of thumb on how much time to give yourself (but you shouldn't keep checking a clock). 12. Alcohol in excess is bad for sleep. If you go an a bender on Saturday, excpect little sleep on Sunday night. Lots of water on Sunday will lessen the effect.

Some months viz has one page that makes it worth the cover price

Horses for courses. Some of them are funnier than the films. The Spinal Tap commentary is done in character and is hilarious. Did you never see the Rob Brydon show Directors Commentary? Some of that was genius.

His Christopher Walken is great. "Fast ship?"

Gill, the Simpsons character, is based entirely on Jack Lemmon's character in this. Like you say, everyone is brilliant though, even Alec Baldwin and his brass balls.

Glenagarry Glen Ross is mint.

Irreversible is amazing. Requiem for a Dream and The Idiots are shit. And I say that as a huge fan of Von Trier (watch Dancer in The Dark or Dogville instead) and a a bit of a fan of Pi (if you ain't seen that give it a whirl). Bad Boy Bubby is meant to be pretty bad and had just been released on DVD. There's also a Swedish (I think) film about a blokes 60th birthday party where his son gives a speech about how his Dad abused all his kids, that's meant to be pretty shocking. Can't remember the name though. Anyone? EDIT: Festen it's called.

The kid off Gentle Ben = The Smog strangler

Course I did. And Corey Feldman went on to do 36 episodes of "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go!" Have a listen to the Goonies group commentary track on the DVD, it's class. You can hear the bitterness the cast has towards each other in every word they say.

you really took it that seriously? jayzus, just go along for the ride! It's kinda faithful to the cartoon... but it doesn't matter It was explained, but it's not a very difficult concept to dissect so maybe you missed it with all the effects and self congratulatory shmoltz, but it the end the plot doesn't matter I thought it was pretty clear why the Autobots were after the Spark, I thought it was clear why Bumblebee (in particular) was trying to protect Sam... it was obvious why the soldiers were running away from, then fighting the huge robot invaders, why the Decepticons were after the cube, why the government hired the blonde girl to decipher the origin of the "hack" and why she sought out the fat bloke, why the .... the list goes on but it doesn't matter. Maybe the Kid didn't tell his Dad because it's pretty safe assumption that if you are trying to hide a giant robotic car from the authorities, your dad is likely to side with "the Man" The subtitles were surely a device to emphasise the fact these machines didn't come from Earth and are alien, but it doesn't matter Barricade, Bonecrusher, Starscream, Soundwave, Megatron, Ironhide, Jazz, off the top my head, but it doesn't matter yes, you are supposed to be able to tell the difference between a big red robot and a big yellow robot.. I wonder, did you critique Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so profoundly? it's a pop corn action flick mate, you really shouldn't get this het up maybe go lie down in a dark room for a bit? Yeah, everyone was thinking they were every day, run of the mill earthling 100ft tranfsorming vahicle robots. Profound? I'm not seriously suggesting it's a Bin Laden advert. The turtles film came in at a far more reasonable 93 minutes, and if it had been completeley unintelligable I'd have been damning of it (even though I was only 11). Transformers is 144 minutes. And in all that time it still can't come up with a coherent plot. Why did the big baddy come to earth to harness our technology against us when we had no technology and we reverse engineered all of our technology from his arrival? I'm not taking it seriously at all, but it is worse than Pearl Harbour, both the film and the actual event.

FYP. If you want something to stop you thinking straight and kill brain cells. Tranformers is it.

Transformers (with spoilers) There's a prologue at the start of this film, to lay the foundations for people like me who weren't fans of the cartoons. Actually, I don't know if it's faithful to the cartoons or not, but this prologue says something about a planet being uninhabitable and a cube called a 'spark'. I'll be honest, I was confused. But I presumed all would be explained. Problem is, it wasn't. An hour in I still couldn't see why any character was doing a single thing they did. Another half hour and my confusion was at overload. Why didn't the kid tell his dad there were robots in the garden? Why were the subtitles in autobot (or deceptacon) before translating to English? What was the name of any robot other than Optimus Prime? Am I supposed to be able to tell them apart? What's going on? Is that collection of rotating bits of metal the only baddie? He is more irritating than Jar Jar Binks, so that's pretty scary. Why do they want a map that was created 70 years ago, to a cube that's since been moved? If we got all our technology from the robots, why did they come 'to harness our technology against us'? Why must everything spin around so much? Why's that computer nerd girl and her fat, black mate in the film? As the film strode into its second hour I had lost any capability I might once have had for rational thought. It didn't matter that Optimus Prime held two humans in his hand one minute, then in another a pair of spectacles were similarly proportioned, who cares about perspective when you can fly a plane into a tall building. Hang on; they didn't do that did they? Christ! An actual plane into a sky scraper. My mind was so numb I never thought about it at the time. In fact it's coming back to me now. The main catchphrase in the film is ''Sacrifice leads to victory" or something like that. Holy shit! It’s Al Quaeda propaganda. They're promoting the suicide bomber mantra. I thought it was bad, but I've come to the realisation that it's actually evil. It has a terrorist agenda and it's indoctrinating all who see it by stripping them of any will to think straight, then hitting home the dodgy ideology. This film isn't just the shittest film of all time (though it is the shittest), it's a scourge on mankind and should be banned as facilitator in the war of terror being waged on the west.

Funkdoobiest - Bow Wow Wow

The Host - Canny film. Top effects. Except for the finale. But considering it only cost $11M, it looks fantastic. MF Doom Food Drive tour dvd - Shit camerawork & shit sound make it a disappointment, but the bloke's a legend. Seeing his rotund figure attempt some kung Fu on stage is hilarious. And he's an awesome rapper.

Just been watching the MF Doom DVD. Always impressed that he's not content just to rhyme the last word of each line. Some of his polysyllabic rhymes are fantastic

I thought 'Volver' was class too. Have you seen 'All About My Mother' btw? Not yet, but I ordered this after watching Volver... http://www.hmv.co.uk/hmvweb/displayProduct...&sku=336531

Volver Absoloutley gorgeous greens and reds. Ten minutes in I thought it was going to be dull but nice to look at, then it took an almost Hitchcockian turn. Don't want to spoil any of it for anyone by describing how many times I was wrong footed, but it's a superb film that flew by. I'm going to watch it again with the commentary on. One last thing. I want Penelope Cruz to have my babies.
