That doesn’t make sense though, PT – as the doorknob wasn’t in the slot (in fact was in another part of the house entirely) when the boy died or was found, so did Tomas hide it? If so, that stretches credibility to breaking point for me…

SPOILER

on the wallpaper – the hole for the doorknob was already there – the ripping was done to effect also the door was wallpapered but still opens without ripping, so was meant to be tomas’ hidden place and not his prison.

I like Kermode, but not as much as he likes himself, and that’s the problem!

I reckon it is possible to have a favourite critic. I’ve always enjoyed Joe Queenan’s stuff, though he is, of course, still an ass (like your Kermode). I read some o’ that Charlie Brooker you recommended, and thought he was a sort of Queenan-lite. Mind you, he’s popular too, and would probably get a lot of folks’ vote for favourite critic. So, yes, I think it is possible.

Nobody would nominate that shower who used to be on that show with her with the big red 80s glasses. That cunt Lawson, that cunt Parsons, and that cunt Paulin. That lot. Nobody would nominate that pack of up-their-own-backsides rats.

Except Piqued, o’course.

I think he’s a good critic but only because i tend to agree with him. If I didn’t I’d also think he was an ass.

Is it possible to have a favourite critic? It must be a pain in the arse to get paid to have a definite opinion. One of the best things in life is to be indifferent to stuff you couldn’t give a shit about. Like Grand Designs or Skins. Or Holby.

His ass-like nature needs constant exposure, in my ‘umble opinion.

It’s alright… and you’ve expressed your views on the Kermode before, I seem to recall.

Either that, or he doesn’t waste his time reading this rubbish. Too busy styling his hair into the same ponderous quiff he’s had for donkey’s years, waffling on about The Exorcist, and being a shit film critic for poncey newspapers and TV review gasbaggery shows.

Kermode’s an ass. AN ASS.

This film sounds shite, by the way.
