Thank you for your most detailed and enthusiastic review of Idiocracy, Mr Blogmaster.
Your incisive prose has made you a late, but sadly vain bid for inclusion in the official list of The 10 Greatest Film Critics of All Time as published by that most authoritative of film sites, orsonwelles.co.uk. Those sniggering at the back might like to show me anyone else that’s come up with such a list…anyway, look, it’s done now and it’s taken me all flaming night. I’m sure the sentiment in the title of this post does not go unshared?
In the meantime, it’s Idiocracy on DVD, if I can persuade my wife to stop watching Prison Break for one blessed second. I shall also take up your kind invitation to purloin your review for my site, with much thanks (and a small writing credit).
Finally, this last visit to Minitrue has reminded me where to publish my random recommendations for reading little bits of newspapers on the train, assuming I can still never find an original thought of my own to post.
Amicably yours

Where the Hell are Paul Ross and Johnny Vaughan?
Eh?
I was a fan for a while of Paul Ross’s apparent adoration of every film ever made as expressed by his News of the World column, until I started to question whether he might be what is termed a “quote whore”, someone who exchanges poster-friendly endorsements of mediocre films in return for invitations to premieres, junkets etc. Paul Ross, in his defence, provides the sober and insightful programme notes for the Buster Keaton dvd Anthology.
Johnnie Vaughan is just a cunt.
