And seeing as it is actually Mark Kermode Live in 3D, here are a few pics of Mark in from of that huge screen during #mk3d this month

One of my favourite literary put-downs is from Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Zaphod Beeblebrox, who often reacts in erratic ways, claims to be “pretty dangerous when I'm cornered,” to which Ford Prefect responds “you go to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel.”

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
