I watched The Straight Story on Prime last night, the David Lynch I didn't know about (it's not in the box sets). A slow road-movie (by lawn-mower) with no sex, swearing or violence, but with Sissy Spacek and lots of old cowboys, what was not to like? On at the BFI in Jan.

All groups who have singular names without the definite article are pretentious. Should be:
The Buzzcocks
The Sweets
The Wars
The Cold Plays
The Kneecaps
The Wet Legs...

Who else?
