Trainspotting. Whether it’s the Ewan McGregor-powered head in toilet film or the practice of watching iron horses go by, it is nothing to be proud of.
Fortunately the Personal Computer allows us to indulge forbidden passions such as wanting to drive trains, or a fetish for women in waders, in the privacy of our sordid homes. Regrettably I subscribe to the former camp and relish the idea of driving a virtual Class 30 diesel through Luton Parkway while sounding the horn.
That is until I launch the ‘simulator’ and remember how isolating and badly designed the train sim generally is.

Bang, bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang, bang, boom. Bang. That is the noise war makes, as reproduced by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg in The Pacific.
The Pacific is a massive budget ($200m) 10 -part miniseries from HBO, shown by Sky Movies HD in the UK. What’s that? Why is Sky Movies showing a TV series? Good question. The big Sky Movies boss thinks this show is *so* cinematic, it is basically more of a film than actual films.
Each 45 minute episode contains approximately 17 minutes of footage, the rest is filled with opening and closing credits. Bear this fact in mind when deciding whether to Sky+ it or not.

You’ve clicked on this post because you either want to see what a smokin’ ace looks like, or because you want to see a trailer for that film with Vinnie Jones.
If it was the former – sorry, you won’t find that here. If it was the latter, you’re in luck! This video is exclusive to us by all accounts, so feel free to enjoy it that little bit more.

Ricky Gervais seems to be one of those people you either love or hate, or something inbetween.
As with any popular existence, he is subject to the normal animosity imposed by the group who are at present too cool to be a fan of a well-liked figure. Anyway, he’s got a DVD/Blu-Ray coming out of that Invention of Lying film he did, so to publicise it he gave a small number of interviews. One of them was with us, yay!
We also gave him the opportunity to plug lots of other things – see if you can spot them.

YouTube phenomenons come and go like sailors, but The Brett Domino Trio are different.
We know this because we sent Keith Emmerson to meet the boys behind the keytar. Due to the wonder of technology, after the jump you can find out all about the genesis of the band, their appearance on Britain’s Got Talent, right the way up to what the future has in store.
So make yourself a nice cup ‘o tea, put your feet up, and discover the mythical and legendary men that combine to create (two thirds of) the Brett Domino Trio…

Remember that new E4 show Misfits we previewed a few weeks back?
No? Well, it’s become quite popular with everyone apart from you apparently.
We sent our very own bumbling reporter Keith Emmerson to meet a few members of the cast who turn out to be much more charming than their characters…

Hey! So you’ve seen American Pie, right? Yeah. So you’ve seen American Pie 2 too right? Of course you have. And then American Pie 3: The Wedding was a must, because of the high jinx.
Then you might as well watch American Pie 4: Band Camp, probably something about phallic instruments in that. And then there was number 5: The Naked Mile, and 6: Beta House. Can you imagine the raucous and outrageous behaviour that must have occurred in those two? We can’t, it’s just too much.
If you’re one of the 1% in the free world who can imagine that level of tomfoolery without your frontal lobes wandering off to the land of spontaneous outbursts, then you’re in for a treat. American Pie 7: The Book of Love! Don’t worry, Jim’s Dad is still in it as the cool, awkward, bit creepy sex guru. Not only that!!! Louisa Lytton is in it too! What? Yeah, she’s the one from EastEnders and The Bill. The trailer is after the jump. It gets better if you watch it when you’re drunk (that’s a lie)…

Fortune has favoured us yet again at Hecklerspray Towers – we can bring you another celebrity interview.
This time it’s the rather fascinating and friendly Mr Dom Joly of Trigger Happy TV and Dom Joly’s Happy Hour fame.
Our almost fearless reporter Keith Emmerson met up with him in a nice little pub somewhere near Westminster to talk about what he’s been up to, his plans for a comedy Al-Qaeda, and some Radio Four-esque discussion about that annoying mobile phone man. After the jump, people. After the jump…
