• For The A.V. Club’s DVD (DVD/Blu-ray? DVD/Streaming? Home Video?) section this week I reviewed the 1986 Alex Cox film Sid And Nancy. It’s an odd one: Too many surreal and satirical touches to count as a straight biopic, too much kitchen-sink drama (with needles) to be anything else. And  too many contradictory attitudes about its protagonists to be entirely coherent. It’s good, though. Gary Oldman’s amazing and the image its doomed lovers kissing against a Dumpster as trash fall around them is one of the shots of the decade.
