Banksy art theft →
I know this is from last year, but I’m intrigued by this couple. Who wears a bright white tracksuit to go and steal stuff? And they don’t look like they go together. Were they ever caught?

Lego Introduces Ladyfigs, Yes, That's Minifigs For... →
Lego recently came under fire for failing to offer girl’s name choices for their online Hero Recon toy customization program. They quickly listened to consumers who, at the very least, thought it was a glaring oversight and added new names to the list. Well, little did we know they had a HUGE GIRLY ANNOUNCEMENT tucked up their sleeve. “Let’s be honest: Girls hate him,” says Mads Nipper,...

Creature: the biggest box office flop of all time →
I never even heard of this movie. Director Fred Andrews is right, though. This is a terrible time for films.

The Mighty Boosh: saved by their own stupidity -... →
There’s something slightly patronising about this review. First off, the Boosh might not have been in Dublin before, but their constituent parts have played here, because I’ve seen them. Also, Dominic Cavendish does know that we can see the Boosh on television, right?

Hmm. Not a rapturous review. I advise seeing his show if you like atheistic, science-based jokes at the expense of religious Americans, though.

Anna Pickard reviews the trailer for Hamlet 2 |... →
I’ve got a pretty high tolerance for daft things newspapers put on the Internet in order to remain “relevant” or “afloat” or whatever you want to call it. But this? Surely the only purpose of a second-by-second breakdown of a movie trailer must be to be funny. But this is not funny. It is not funny at all.
