The average IQ of the surviving characters keeps rising

In case you hadn't noticed Fargo, it's a TV series set some time after the Coen Brother's classic film. It's very good.

It could easily have ended with the eighth episode, but the ninth - especially the opening ten or so minutes - are particularly wonderful if you've been on the journey. It sums up the themes of the series, stupidity and ruthlessness, wonderfully book-cased by what happens towards the end too.

I love the speech to someone who bought a house too.

2 for 1 for Terry Gilliam-directed opera in cinemas tonight

I had already bought my ticket, but if you go here, you can get two tickets for the price of one.

It's done by Terry Gilliam, what more do you need to know?

The first one he did for ENO was so good, I saw it twice in the same season, and that usually only happens with the Don.
