I love Paolo Nutini, but I'm worried that he appears to be morphing into Spider from Corrie, judging by his Candy video. C Brown

Live, Kasabian play as if their lives depends on it and their tunes burst with energy. They're better than mediocre fashion bands any day. Sharpe

Bands better live than on record? Rammstein, especially on the Volkerball DVD. Matthew O'Callaghan

You trying to be fungi?

WLW and Almost Famous sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes; well, you get the picture.

No place for Zine?

So, they'll happily put the sports section on Channel 4's analogue text, and now they're putting news pages up as well, while keeping all other existing services. Yet they can't spare one page to run Zine on there? Come on, Teletext, it's more convenient; and it's hardly gonna break the bank, is it? WLW, surely you have something to say about this obvious travesty?

Psychic Potato

Rather like my funniest jokes; our analogue days are behind us, I'm afraid.

Sparki Dee Fluffy Bunny, have you ever tried spider racing? First to the end of the bath gets their own website. Loser gets sucked up the hoover.

But surely the winner will simply escape down the plughole?

Matth Stil Anything goes indeed! The amount of messages written in invisible ink aired on Friday's Zine!

Did you not press reveal?

Horror films make the audition

Sammie- I couldn't agree more. The Japanese really know how to make a good horror and Death Note is one of my fave films. If you haven't already, watch Audition. Christine, Hartlepool

My favourite monsters are critters, gremlins, ghoulies and those out of From Beyond. I like most monsters that are not CGI. Tim, London

scarface faces more criticism

Shawn, washington- For me, scarface is hugely overrated but not rubbish. People try to sound cool by claiming it's their favourite film. That or they are easily pleased. It does not come close to the godfather or carlito's Way. Also, having read the Bond novels, as far as I am aware, Bond is 007's real name. Dan, Bournemouth

Matt- You mentioned a gem of a film with king of New York. A very violent, but excellent, film. Lance, Manchester

Amnesia Clothing

Employee: Can I help you?
Customer: Please do you have any big trousers? - All these are really tiny and horrible!
Employee: Oh my goodness- they're pants!
Customer: Yes! They are the silliest trousers ever!
Employee: Silliness!

Little Blue Fox

Put them over your trousers for that superhero look.

Haute Tension twist up

The only people I've read complain about Haute Tension's supposed twist ending are American, until I read Marc's comment. If you pay attention to the start the twist is established from the beginning. Wish I could say more, but don't want to spoil it for anyone. Watch it again. t rivers, suss*x

Although I rate R-Point and the eye very highly, my favourite Asian horror is the eerie, low-budget Japanese flick Cursed. Max, Kettering

To Germany And Back

I dreamt I was in a giant rock.
Drove to Germany in a Volkswagen.
Met German moths who kept saying "nein".
What's a Dummkopf?
Decided to fly home.

daddypoos

So, what we really want to know is... where did you leave the Volkswagen?

Drop Dead Fred rumours

Anyone else that loves Drop Dead Fred- I heard they're making another one with russell brand as Fred. I think he won't be anywhere near as good as Rik. Ste, Chesterfield

I've just seen Star Trek. Good movie, but one thing puzzled me. Vulcan was destroyed but it was in the film's search for Spock and also the voyage home. Can someone explain this to me? Alan, Kilmarnock

Screaming Children

My partner wants to get a couple of chinchillas as pets. Have you heard the noise they make? Inside every one is a screaming child trying to get out. Yuk, yuk, yuk!

Anyone got any good pet ideas?

GeekOrUnique

Well, they are nocturnal. So simply make sure you stay outside the house all night.
