Quote: zooo @ December 5 2012, 11:40 PM GMTI prefer Claudia to both of them.
But...but...she's an awful film reviewer with no taste. I mean really, really awful at assessing movies, kind of like the Matt Stott of film reviews.
What are you watching on TV? Page 1,685
She has an awful taste. SHE HAS AN AWFUL TASTE? Don't tell me the mighty independently minded RC relies on film reviewers to form his opinions? How far back does this bleed into the rest of his life. I am now imagining RC to be a big Bill O'reilly fan.
I wish Claudia would stand up straight. Posture darling, posture.

When a visit to the cinema now costs more then a meal in a restuarant and because 97% of all new films suck donkey anus, you bet that I rely on film reviewers.
Mark Kermode is passable, though too sentimental and film school sychophant for my liking. Johnny Ross was a corporate tool taking money from Murdoch in exchange for good reviews, Barry Norman was mostly right, but had a middle class detestment for anything populist, even if it was excellent. Claudia and Franz Ferdinand (or whoever the hell he is) are just the worst film reviewers on the planet. I'd trust their opinions about as far as I can spit a Land Rover.
These are my go to guys -

It doesn't seem that long ago that predictions were being made that cinemas would die out, because we were all watching so much at home. So how come they can fleece us for so much cash now, and in the worse recession since the last one, too?
Just caught up with Sunday's Once Upon A Time. It's the most enjoyable 45 minutes of TV at the moment. And so utterly refreshing to have a female-dominated TV show that isn't about women being bitchy to each other.

Mark Commode is ok if you give him a nice open goal like Lawrence of Arabia or something else good. But more complex films seem to confuse him.
Correction I just realised I lost all respect for him after this ludicrous review of Pulpfiction.
The Santa Clause. I secretly like it.
It's a nice film and Tim Allan is actually not a bad comic.
But it's a bit to cloying and American for my tastes. Sort of like a castrated Adam Sandler movie.
After being bombarded by adverts on E4, I thought I'd give the show New Girl a shot. Wish I hadn't, it is awful, managed to last until the ad break before switching over.
From what I can fathom, kookily attractive Zooey Deschanel plays a woman who lives with loads of gay men pretending to be straight in a massive apartment, but none of them seems to have any kind of discernable job and they spend all their time fancying each other and pretty much nothing else happens.
Vacuous garbage is the kindest thing I can say about this crap.
Zooey Deschanel has dead eyes.
Love New Girl. None of them are gay. Amazingly.
Actually that is unusual in a TV show, to have 3 male characters and none of them be gay. They all have jobs except the loser one.

He does whal all British film reviewers do - slags off a Hollywood name like Tom Cruise and the types of film they make - and then when they are allowed to meet the megastar in question, becoming a fawning, simpering, arse licking machine, gushing praise out their hypocrite holes.

They look gay, they dress gay, they talk gay, they am gayers. Unless the whole thing is a coma induced fairy tale in Zooey's head, then this show just does not ring true.
EDIT: I can name loads of shows with three guys in it who aren't shirtlifters, like Dad's Army - oh wait, Dad's Army had that medic who was a definite bender.
