Another fine example of Hollywood royalty raking in the filthy lucre of advertising demonstrated here, as Pierce Brosnan gets all Bondian on behalf of Visa. Stuck in a traffic jam, the suave one ditches his limo for a motorised rickshaw and gets – as he might quip in other, more coital scenarios – the ride … >
Despite what we’ve seen in CultBoxed previously, the true nadir of Doctor Who-related pop songs didn’t come in the Sixties or Seventies; it was in 1985 – during the programme’s first cancellation crisis – that the worst came to the worst. Along with such luminaries as David Van Day, Hazell Dean, Jona Lewie and the … >
Yet another take on dubbing another actor’s voice into Darth Vader’s scenes in Star Wars – it’s basically a geekier version of the Downfall parodies, really, only without the attendant sense that it’s been done to death. This time, in an extended cut, it’s the turn of Arnold Schwarzenegger to don the helmet and mask … >

Another day, another clip from a television programme with words bleeped out to imply crudity. We ought to be getting tired of these by now, but to be quite honest, we’re not. Join Nigel Havers and Maggie Smith at Downton Abbey for yet more censor-tainment…
Okay, so it worked in the end, and Fox Mulder finally ended up copping off with the most beautiful woman in the history of the FBI – Dana Scully, obviously, no matter what you apologists for Monica Reyes and Diana Fowley might say – but his skill at flirting with his glamorous fellow agent was … >
Before the execrable Johnny English: Reborn, there was the enjoyable Johnny English; and before that, there was a series of excellent adverts for Barclaycard starring Rowan Atkinson as a character called Richard Latham – Johnny English in everything but name. Here, the secret agent’s hapless howlers (always solved in the pre-credit crunch age by Bough … >
