Why, oh why, do I always develop celebrity crushes on the actors who play the villain?  Or to be more precise, fucking insane, completely psychotic villains?

In related news, I heartily recommend everything that John Simm is in ever, especially the episodes of Doctor Who where he is the Master, and the British version of Life on Mars, where he is ( Read more... )

Has anyone seen anything about the new movie Filth and Wisdom? I just saw the trailer and it looks amazing. It's produced (or directed maybe?) by Madonna, but she is not in it.
