What with all this talk about Paul McCartney signing to the new Starbucks record label, it's easy to forget what Starbucks is all about - in short, selling ridiculously-named caffeine drinks to smug idiots - but Starbucking works as a handy reminder.

Starbucking is a new indie documentary movie coming out in selected American cinemas very soon with a simple premise. Starbucking follows John Winter Smith - a man determined to visit every branch of Starbucks in the world. Considering there are now literally more branches of Starbucks than there are actual human beings on Earth, John Winter Smith seems to have his work cut out. We've yet to see the full version of Starbucking, but Starbucking seems to be a movie about globalisation, a movie about one individual's obsessive compulsive desire to make a mark on the world and - most of all - a movie about a man buzzed off his tits on coffee doing jittery karate moves and going "yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi" while queueing up in a succession of Starbucks branches. See the madness for yourselves.
